Paper01

[HaRaD]

Hello everyone! found an interesting texture of the newspaper(hl2\materials\Models\props_c17) and decided to try to make out who and what is depicted there.

Here's what I was able to identify:

- Faat Kiné is a 2000 Senegalese film written and directed by Ousmane Sembène, set in present-day Dakar, Senegal. It provides a critical look at modern, post-colonial Senegal and the place of women in that society. It gives a clear glimpse into life of the Senegalaise middle-class and presents present-day Dakar in all of its contradictions of poverty and wealth, tradition and modernity(photo 2)

- Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton CVO OBE FRGS (/ˈʃækəltən/; 15 February 1874 – 5 January 1922) was a British[3] polar explorer who led three British expeditions to the Antarctic. He was one of the principal figures of the period known as the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.

That's all I've been able to identify so far.

This is a page of reviews for films and documentaries shown at the SIFF (Seattle International Film Festival) likely in 2001. Shackleton's photo is for the documentary "Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure" (2001). Just need to find the program from that that year to find the rest!

And also...



I knew this looked familiar... Shackleton's face was also used for Richard Croft in the Crofts portrait seen in Tomb Raider: Legend.

At some point (after hl2 and tf2 repo leaked) I found a 2001 archive of seattleweekly page that has all of the movie reviews text that exists on paper 01, only thing missing is images.

paper01 begins with the line "and her stepmother provides the film an ending reminiscent of Titus Andronicus and Medea"
