Before I get to the gate, I step off the road and down a steep ditch. I have to go slow, because there is barbed wire all over. There is a stone wall too. Some times I sit on the stone wall, throwing things in the creek and watching them float down stream. Sometimes I drop things on the other side of the road and run across, waiting for them to float through. The gate has metal bars in the shape of an X with the barbed wire woven through.

    1997 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL The 1997 Sundance Film Festival continued to attract crowds, international attention and an appreciative group of alumni fi lmmakers. Many of the Premiere fi lmmakers were returning directors (Errol Morris, Tom DiCillo, Victor Nunez, Gregg Araki, Kevin Smith), whose earlier, sometimes unknown, work had received a warm reception at Sundance. The Piper-Heidsieck tribute to independent vision went to actor/director Tim Robbins, and a major retrospective of the works of German New-Wave giant Rainer Werner Fassbinder was staged, with many of his original actors fl own in for forums. It was a fi tting tribute to both Fassbinder and the Festival and the ways that American independent cinema was indeed becoming international.

  • Ten Years Supporting, Delivering & Promoting the Whole Spectrum of Animation
    TEN YEARS SUPPORTING, DELIVERING & PROMOTING THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF ANIMATION Directors Message Wow – we made it to our 10th anniversary!! Who would have thought it? From very humble beginnings – our first festival in 2004 screened at the now-defunct Rupert Street Cinema in Piccadilly – to LIAF 2013, 10 days at 3 different venues. We have survived - sort of. Over 10 years we’ve received more than 12,000 entries, screened more than 2,500 films, and had some of the most talented animators in the world come and hang out with us. And we’ve had a ball on the way. It’s time to blow our own trumpet. As well as being the largest festival of it’s kind in the UK in terms of films and programmes screened, we have a substantial touring component and we run satellite events all year-round. We’ve screened at festivals, cinemas, theatres and colleges all around the world and in the UK and hopefully we have spread the word that animation is a valid artform that is only limited by the animator’s imagination. In short, our maxim is that in animation anything can happen. Long may this be. There are far too may people to thank here (hopefully you know who you are) but the guidance and immense work-rate of my co-Director Malcolm Turner has to be acknowledged. Way back when in our ground zero - actually in the year 1999 - I still vividly recall that very first meeting Malcolm and I had with our then-colleague Susi Allender in the back garden of our Melbourne flat.

Usher; Office: Department of Classics, 481 Main Street, Room 303;Contact: 656-4431; home: 897-2822; e-mail: [email protected] Course Description: “What’s in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.” —Romeo and Juliet Act II, Scene II “Look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, And to the hole of the pit whence ye were digged.” —Isaiah 51:1 Proponents of sustainability tend to present their ideas and prescriptions as new and innovative and argue that sustainable living is a defining concern of our time. Sustainable living is indeed an urgent, pressing issue for today’s world, but students in this course will learn that many of the fundamental tenets of the modern sustainability movement are also hallmarks of ancient Greek culture and thought. This course, a foray into the genealogy of ideas, traces the trajectory of modern notions of ecological and socio-economic sustainability back through time. Through selected readings spanning over two thousand years, students will see old ideas and precepts cropping up again and again over the course of history, up to and including the present day. They will grapple with conceptual and philosophical aspects of sustainability and with sustainable living itself (and the inevitable trade-offs and contradictions therein) experientially via a field trip to the small, diversified farm my wife and I built from scratch as an experiment in sustainable living, where we raise sheep, tend a large garden, and manage a maple sugarbush.
