Konstantina Vozikis Heading towards barrier-free environments ••• Foreword I FOREWORD I. INTRODUCTION As my name shows, I am half Greek, half Austrian. I was born in Austria, I grew up in Switzerland, I passed my teenage-years in Greece and returned to Austria for studying. I completed my studies in 2002 and since then I've been working for my thesis. During all these years of moving a little bit around Central and Southern Europe, I got the opportunity to compare, in a conscious or unconscious way, the countries I've lived in and their actual living status. Especially when I started studying architecture at the Vienna Technical University I became aware, little by little, of the way architecture affects, influences and guides our everyday life and of all problems, which brash architecture provokes. Having attended several courses for "Barrier-free Design" during my studies, I started paying even more attention, when moving from one place to the next. Especiallyevery time I visited my parents, who are living in Athens. I was astonished of the rarity, almost absence, by which an Athenian would see a person with reduced mobility or disability in Greece'scapital. Apart from persons in plasters or with crutches, some blind beggars on pavements or salesmen with a missing foot, leg, hand, arm, and so on at crossings, it seemsthat Athens is free from any people with impairments... As I wish to return to Greeceand work there, I decided to search a topic for my thesis, where a case study could be elaborated for a Greek city. Thus, being already sensitised on the problems, barriers, obstacles, etc. architecture can build, I finally chose to reveal the current situation for people with reduced mobility and persons with disability living in Greece. Although Greece is a member of the European Union and has equivalent regulations and laws, as all other member countries, everyday life for people. with reduced mobility and persons with disability living in this Southern European country seems to be almost a forbidden matter. The general idea was to gather quantity and quality data revealing the specific development of special indexes on the current situation for people with reduced mobility and persons with disability living in Athens and to compare attitudes with other European cities. This thesis is my contribution to start to remove all fears, myths .and prejudices and to promote independent surviving through the supporting tool 'AccOrD",4U2!'. Greece, with its renewed constitution, with the European Year for People with Disability starting in Athens, the Greek Presidencyof the European Union in the first half of 2003 and the (Para) Olympic Games of 2004 had a golden chance to record its own contribution in moulding a new European model for disability. Grabbing these favourable frame-conditions, I started investigations on disability matters in general in Greece. The general idea was to DI arch. Konstantina Theresia VOZIKIS I Heading towards barrier-free environments ••• Foreword gather quantity and quality data revealing the specific development of special indexes on the current situation for people with reduced mobility and persons with disability living in Athens and to compare attitudes with and conditions in other Europeancities. The research was lead by the hope to bump into a changing situation for people with disability in the Greek society, where differences are accepted and discrimination is denied, and to find. accessible infrastructure. This thesis is my contribution to start to remove all fears, myths and prejudices and to promote independent living through the supportive tool 'AccOrD - 4U2!', which is being introduced in this thesis. At this point, I would like to apologise for all little mistakes that made their way through to the end print. I hope that the end result of all efforts corresponds to the expectations of every interested person. The goal of this book is not to persuade or convince, but to stimulate thinking, discussion, and perhaps even argument. To argue, after all, is to become involved; to become involved is perhaps to care. I would like to dedicate this thesis to all those persons,

    Media Contact: A. J. Fox · (510) 642-0365 · [email protected] BAMPFA Mounts Sweeping Abbas Kiarostami Series National Touring Series Marks Iranian Auteur’s First Major Posthumous Retrospective Five-Month Program Includes Guest Appearances by Ahmad Kiarostami and Visiting Scholars (Berkeley, CA) May 8, 2019—A touring series of films by Abbas Kiarostami opens at the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) this August, marking the first significant retrospective of the director’s work since he passed away in 2016. Presented in partnership with Janus Films, the five-month screening series encompasses all extant films directed by Kiarostami. A version of the retrospective is set to open at New York’s IFC Center on July 26, followed by a national tour organized by Janus Films. Together with a focused Kiarostami survey that runs concurrently at the Roxie Theater, the program marks the most significant retrospective of Kiarostami’s films ever mounted in the San Francisco Bay Area. A towering figure in the Iranian film community and one of the preeminent world cinema auteurs of the past three decades, Abbas Kiarostami (1940–2016) was the recipient of numerous international honors—including the prestigious Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival for Taste of Cherry (1996)— along with accolades from fellow directors such as Akira Kurosawa, Jean-Luc Godard, Martin Scorsese, and many others. Abbas Kiarostami: Life as Art comprises twenty-one features and eleven shorts directed by Kiarostami, as well as films directed by other filmmakers that are in dialogue with his work. Concurrent with the retrospective, BAMPFA is mounting a five-week lecture-screening series as part of its popular In Focus program, in which prominent scholars of Kiarostami’s work are invited to present remarks and lead discussions in conjunction with screenings of his films.

    JANUS FILMS PRESENTS NEW 35MM PRINT! http://www.janusfilms.com/closeup Director: Abbas Kiarostami JANUS FILMS Country: Iran Brian Belovarac Year: 1990 Ph: 212-756-8761 Run time: 97 minutes [email protected] Color / 1.37 / Mono CLOSE-UP SYNOPSIS Internationally revered Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami has created some of the most inventive and transcendent cinema of the last thirty years, and Close- Up is his most radical, brilliant work. This fiction-documentary hybrid uses a real- life sensational event—a young man arrested on charges that he fraudulently impersonated well-known filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf—as the basis for a stunning, multi-layered investigation into movies, identity, artistic creation, and life itself. With its universal themes and fascinating narrative knots, Close-Up continues to resonate with viewers around the world. CLOSE-UP ABBAS KIAROSTAMI on CLOSE-UP (2009) Interviewed by Tarik Benbrahim for the Criterion Collection Close-Up was a film that I could say I didn't really make. It wasn't my doing. Because if the definition of director is someone who controls everything, fortunately or unfortunately, I didn't have any control over this film from the start. The elements were not within my control, behind the scenes or in front of the camera. The story is that I wanted to make a movie for children, about children, about pocket money - money they usually get from their parents. Everything was ready for us to go to a school and start filming on a Saturday morning. I remember that I'd read an article in the newspaper that Thursday, an interview with someone who had impersonated a filmmaker.

    ten a film by Abbas Kiarostami Celebrated Iranian writer-director Abbas Kiarostami (Taste of Cherry, Through the Olive Trees) once again casts his masterful cinematic gaze upon the modern sociopolitical landscape of his homeland—this time as seen through the eyes of one woman as she drives through the streets of Tehran over a period of several days. Her journey is comprised of ten conversations with various female passengers—including her sister, a hitchhiking prostitute and a jilted bride—as well as her imperious young son. As Kiarostami’s “dashboard cam” eavesdrops on these lively, yet heart-wrenching road trips, a complex portrait of contemporary Iran comes sharply into focus. Kiarostami on TEN Sometimes, I tell myself that TEN is a film that I could never make again. You cannot decide to make such a film... It’s a little like CLOSE-UP. It's possible to continue along the same path but it requires a great deal of patience. Indeed, this is not something that can be reapeated easily. It must occur of its own accord, like an incident or a happening... At the same time, it requires a great deal of preparation. Originally, this was the story of a psychoanyalyst her patients and her car, but that was two years ago... I was invited to Beirut in Lebanon last week, for a film workshop with students. One of them told me, “You’re the only one who can make such a film because of your reputation. If one of us had made it, no one would have accepted it.” I replied that, as his teacher, I owed him the truth: making something simple requires a great deal of experience.

I live in Calais, Vermont. I attend Town Meetings and have attended a number of Selectboard meetings and School Board meetings and have a little understanding of the time commitment and hard work my fellow citizen put in serving our communities and state. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for serving Vermont. I also want to thank you for the opportunity to speak before you today about the education of our children as children are the future of Vermont. I’m coming to you today as a concerned citizen and a taxpayer. As some of you may know I wrote a commentary in Vermont Digger about reading instruction in Vermont. I have included it as an appendix (Appendix I) to the material I have submitted to this committee. Today, I’d like to discuss the current problem with reading education in the primary grades in the majority of our Vermont schools which the bills before this committee are trying to address. What are some of the potential causes of the problem? What is the impact not only on our children, but also on Vermont’s economy? I’d also like to give the committee more information about our current reading instruction methodology, Balanced Literacy, and the science behind the Structured Literacy proposed in the bills before this committee. But more importantly, I want to discuss the polarization caused when science outcomes do not match one’s beliefs.

    Transcending Cinema: Kiarostami’s Approach to Filmmaking Maryam Ghorbankarimi Born and raised in Tehran, Iran, Maryam Ghorbankarimi ([email protected]) completed her PhD in film studies at the University of Edinburgh and her dissertation was published as a book entitled A Colourful Presence: The Evolution of Women’s Representation in Iranian Cinema. As well as a scholar, Maryam is a filmmaker and has made some award-winning short films in both formats of short documentary and fiction. As an artist, photographer, and filmmaker, Abbas Kiarostami masterfully continued experimenting with medium, style, and storytelling throughout his long and fruitful career. This paper will look at his film oeuvre as a whole and will focus on his style of filmmaking, which can be characterized by the osmosis of formalist and realist elements and his move beyond the restrictions of genre. When watching Kiarostami’s films and considering the vast amount of scholarly literature about his work, we come across one unifying theme: the use of realism. He has been described as the master of bridging fact and fiction, walking the thin line between documentary and fiction storytelling.1 Realism in film can be explained as a style of filmmaking that attempts to duplicate the objective reality by using authentic locations, long shots, and lengthy takes. Some of the most significant elements of realism in cinema evident in Kiarostami’s films are the use of natural lighting, location shooting, employing non-professional actors, and minimal editing, which are all employed in an attempt to convey the illusion that the constructed film world is a mirror image of the real world.
