FINSE, Norway - Inside a giant igloo in a snowy Norwegian village, the sound of a horn rings out, warming the mood of a freezing audience, huddled together in -24 Celsius.But the four musicians performing are even colder: The instruments they are playing are all made of ice.The xylophone, claves and wind instruments have been painstakingly carved from ice blocks extracted from a frozen lake, and are now part of a finger-numbing performance at the 13th Ice Music Festival in the mountain village of Finse.The problem is, the longer the musicians play, the more the instruments start to disintegrate.It is not an easy task "to perform on instruments that are melting while you play them," says percussionist Terje Isungset, also the founder of the festival.Wearing thick wool gloves, he...

MADRID - Stars of Spanish cinema have lashed out at the lack of women in the film industry at the country's equivalent of the Oscars."We need directors, screenwriters, directors of photography, scripts, technicians, composers - equal in number to men," said actress Nora Navas, a vice president of the Spanish Film Academy, during the Goyas in Madrid on Sunday.Carla Simon, one of Spain's top directors whose film "Summer 1993" bagged three awards at the ceremony, said the country "needs more women to make films"."We need time to change that, I think the initiative has to come from politics," said Simon, 31.Only 27 per cent of the nominees for the Goyas were women and female attendees at the ceremony carried bright red fans sporting #MÁSMUJERES...
