Spooky images of abandoned orphanage where kids sobbed themselves to sleep

urban explorer has shared a series of eerie images of an abandoned property that could soon be lost forever.The derelict Balrossie School, near Glasgow, was originally used as a home for the orphaned children of killed sailors, dates back to 1899.The building was purchased by Glasgow Corporation, in the 1960s and it served as a residential school until it was closed in the 1990s and it has lain empty for almost 25 years.More commonly known as Balrossie Orphanage, the crumbling building, which is situated 20 miles west of Glasgow, near Kilmacolm, was visited last week by an urban explorer.Leeds-based photographer and urban explorer Kyle Urbex has ventured into dozens of abandoned sites over the past 18 months and said Balrossie had been high on his list for quite some time.Kyle told Glasgow Live he was glad he got there when he did as it looks as if the old orphanage has only months left before it's gone forever.He said: "I arrived [at Balrossie] last Saturday and when I first got there I noticed that half of the building had already been demolished. There was a big massive pile of rubble in the middle"."I reckon the rest of it will be gone very, very soon," he added.

Berlin Film Festival Kicks Off With COVID-Testing Buses and Strict Vaccine Checks

Manori Ravindran International EditorYou can’t say we weren’t warned.When the omicron wave hit in December, the Berlin Film Festival frantically pivoted to ensure a physical event went ahead, and organizers cautioned that heavy COVID restrictions would be in place at the 72nd edition of the fest.True to form, those measures are keenly felt on the ground in Berlin, where COVID-testing buses and strict vaccination and booster checks will be de rigueur over the next week. Depending on where you’re coming from, that may be a shock to the system, but it appears to be a lot more straightforward than it looks — and rest assured you’ll be spared the indignity of spitting into test tubes.A day before Thursday’s opening ceremony, which screens Francois Ozon’s “Peter von Kant,” the main festival grounds are noticeably subdued, with the Berlinale Palast red carpet still in the process of being set up.

Ed Meza @edmezavarOrganizers of the upcoming Berlinale continue to plan for a physical festival under strict safety measures, but with the EFM already moved online due to rising COVID-19 cases, this year looks set to be another gloomy gathering, not only for Germany’s dispirited film sector, but also for Berlin businesses bracing for more lost revenue.Local cinema operators and distributors have welcomed the move, but the condensed event and ongoing Omicron scare is likely to keep attendance on the low side.“This is such an important signal for the entire culture and film industry,” says Christian Bräuer, chairman of independent cinema association AG Kino – Gilde and managing director of Berlin’s Yorck-Kino group. “Of course, as social venues, we are aware of our responsibility.
