Penance
Plot
Inspired by actual events, Days of Darkness director\co-screenwriter Jake Kennedy's sophomore shocker tells the story of single mother Amelia (Marieh Delfino), who turns to stripping as a means of making ends meet and winds up the unwilling subject of a grim purification ritual. When sexy dancer Suzy takes a beating that leaves her unable to perform, she asks Amelia to cover her latest gig. Reluctantly accepting so her friend can convalesce, Amelia begins to grow uneasy when her driver (Tony Todd) taxis her to a dark and remote location. Once inside, Amelia finds herself imprisoned with a number of other unchaste women by a sadistic captor (Graham McTavish) who uses various torture methods to rid them of their impurities. Produced and co-written by Automaton Transfusion director William Clevinger, Penance also features Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer star Michael Rooker. ~ Jason Buchanan, RoviCast

Srečko Brodar
Srečko Brodar (1893–1987) was a Slovenian archaeologist. He pioneered the study of the Palaeolithic period in Slovenia and substantially contributed to its development in the other republics of the former Yugoslavia, especially Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.[2]
Brodar first studied at the University of Zagreb, graduating in 1920. He began his archaeological career in 1928 with the excavation of Potok Cave (Slovene: Potočka zijalka), an Upper Palaeolithic cave site in northern Slovenia, and went on to discover five new Palaeolithic sites in Slovenia, demonstrating the link between the Palaeolithic cultures of the eastern Alps and those of the Pannonian Plain and northern Italy. In 1939 he received his Ph.D. from the University of Ljubljana, and became a professor there in 1946. After the World War II, Brodar's research focused on Betal Rock Shelter (Betalov spodmol), a multiperiod prehistoric site near Postojna in southwest Slovenia. He also discovered the first Mesolithic sites in Slovenia, such as Špehovka Cave.[2]
Brodar was the director of the Institute of Archaeology at the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and a member of the International Union for Prehistoric and Protohistoric Sciences.[2] In 1949, he won the Prešeren Award for his excavations at Betal Rock Shelter.[3]
