Like our Northwest Film & Video Festival, which celebrates the unique visions of artists in our community, PIFF seeks to engage, educate, entertain and challenge. We invite you to explore and celebrate not only the art of film, but also the world around you. It is said that film is a universal language—able to transcend geographic, political and cultural boundaries in a singular fashion. In the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous observation, “There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler who is foreign,” this year’s films allow us to discover what unites rather than what divides. The Festival also unites our community, bringing together culturally diverse audiences, a remarkable cross-section of cinematic voices, public and private funders of the arts, corporate sponsors and global film industry members. This fabulous ecology makes the event possible, and we wish our credits at the back of the program could better convey our deep appreci- ation of all who help make the Festival happen.

  • Internationales Filmfestival Karlovy Vary
    Internationales Filmfestival Karlovy Vary Das Internationale Filmfestival Karlovy Vary (tschechisch Mezinárodní filmový festival Karlovy Vary, englische Kurzform KVIFF) findet jedes Jahr Anfang Juli im böhmischen Kurort Karlsbad statt. Das KVIFF zählt zu den 13 A-Festivals, gehört in dieser Gruppe der weltweit führenden Festivals allerdings zu den kleineren Veranstaltungen. Gemessen an der Zahl der verkauften Tickets (etwa 130.000) liegt es zwischen dem etwas größeren Festival von Locarno (147.000) und dem kleineren Warschauer Festival (108.000). Inhaltsverzeichnis Logo des Festivals Geschichte Preisträger Siehe auch Weblinks Einzelnachweise Geschichte 41. Internationales Filmfestival in Das Filmfestival in Karlsbad ist eine der ältesten Filmschauen der Welt. Karlsbad, 2006 Premiere feierte es 1946, wobei es im ersten Jahr mit Marienbad einen zweiten Austragungsort gab. In den drei folgenden Jahren fand das Festival sogar ausschließlich in Marienbad statt, ab 1950 dann nur noch in Karlsbad. Die ersten Preise wurden 1948 verliehen. Damit blicken nur die Filmfestspiele von Venedig und das Moskauer Filmfestival, die bereits in den 1930er Jahren begründet wurden, auf eine längere Tradition zurück. Die Filmfestspiele von Cannes und das Festival von Locarno wurden ebenfalls erstmals 1946 veranstaltet, beide allerdings einige Wochen nach dem ersten Karlsbader Festival. Von 1958 bis 1992 fand das Filmfestival Karlovy Vary lediglich alle zwei Jahre – im Wechsel mit dem Moskauer Filmfestival – statt. Aus diesem Grund konnte das Festival im Jahr 2015 erst seine 50. Austragung feiern, obwohl es zu dem Zeitpunkt bereits 69 Jahre existierte.[1] Zu größeren Veränderungen kam es schließlich bei der 29. Auflage des Festivals im Jahr 1994, als auf einen jährlichen Austragungsrhythmus umgestellt wurde. Zuvor hatten das tschechische Kultusministerium, die Stadt Karlsbad und das ortsansässige Grand-Hotel Pupp eine Stiftung für das Festival gegründet, die den bekannten tschechischen Schauspieler Jiří Bartoška als Präsidenten des Festivals engagierte.

  • THE COHEN INTERVIEWS KAY Mcdougall
    THE COHEN INTERVIEWS KAY McDOUGALL -- Interview no 14. Edited by Tim Cook and Harry Marsh Annotation research by Diana Wray Transcription by Josephine Green for WISEArchive ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is one of 26 interviews with social work pioneers conducted by the late Alan Cohen in 1980 - 81. The period of social work history Alan wished to explore with the interviewees was 1929 - 59. With one exception (No 24, Clare Winnicott) the interviews were unpublished until this edition in 2013. The copyright is held by the not for profit organisation WISEArchive. Each interview is presented as a free-standing publication with its own set of notes. However, readers interested in the Cohen Interviews as a whole and the period discussed are referred to: (a) the other 25 interviews (b) the Editors’ Introduction, (c) the select Bibliography. All of these can be found at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/explorefurther/subject_guides/social_work ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kay McDougall (nee Long) (1910—1999) was a psychiatric social worker, author, teacher, editor and diplomat in the field of social work politics. Alan Cohen encourages her to speak about all of these aspects of an outstanding career. She was remarkably successful in all of the projects she took on. For example, the launching of the Case Conference journal provided a platform for describing what social workers were doing, debating the ideas underpinning the work and examining the social policy implications. And her patient diplomatic skills were much needed over the long years of bringing the various professional bodies together into a unified British Association of Social Workers: she certainly earned membership card no 1.
