Since the days of film pioneers with the likes of Sergej Eisenstein or propaganda villains such as targets, are killed or wounded, raped or abducted or driven away, fleeing violence.

Half of them are children. More than 300.000 boys and girls are forced to serve as child soldiers – and are than the impact of politics and education. The responsibility of the creators of cinema is bigger than ever before. Cinema for so themselves turned into perpetrators. Peace reminds us of this responsibility – of being conscious of the impact of the messages we are “putting out there” through War has terrible consequences, especially for children and infants. Insufficient supplies of food and drink often result in film and being more aware of our contribution towards peace efforts through our art. If our desire is to have a peaceful world, disease. Diarrhea, pneumonia, measles, and malaria threaten lives. Many children are separated from their parents as they we need to show our own responsibility for the images we produce – which begins with our own behavior and our state flee their homes.

CINEMA FOR PEACE 2 0 0 4 CINEMA FOR PEACE 2 0 0 4 UNICEF The year of 2003 saw 14 wars and 21 serious conflicts worldwide. The theatres of war were different ones, but not the misery. Hunger is war, too. War deprives children of their homes and of everything that once made up their live. According to UNICEF The misery caused by war is always the same. In many cases, wars are waged on the civilian population in an extremely radical estimates, about 35 million people are fleeing from violence and terror, half of them are children.

During World War I, the share of civilian victims was about five percent – in the wars of the present time, horrible experiences out of their minds, sometimes for their whole life. 90 percent of the victims are civilians.

  • 5.3 Post-Cinematic Atavism
    5.3 Post-Cinematic Atavism BY RICHARD GRUSIN In June 2002, for a plenary lecture in Montreal at the biennial Domitor conference on early cinema, I took the occasion of the much-hyped digital screening of Star Wars: Episode II–Attack of the Clones (George Lucas, 2002) to argue that in entering the 21st century we found ourselves in the “late age of early cinema,” the more than century-long historical coupling of cinema with the sociotechnical apparatus of publicly projected celluloid film (“Remediation”). Two years later, in a lecture at a conference in Exeter on Multimedia Histories, I developed this argument in terms of what I called a “cinema of interactions,” arguing that cinema in the age of digital remediation could no longer be identified with its theatrical projection but must be understood in terms of its distribution across a network of other digitally-mediated formats like DVDs, websites, games, and so forth—an early call for something like what now goes under the name of “platform studies” (“DVDs”). In his recent book on “post-cinematic affect” Steven Shaviro has picked up on this argument in elaborating his own extremely powerful reading of the emergence of a post-cinematic aesthetic (70). I want to return the favor here to take up what I would characterize as a kind of “post-cinematic atavism” that has been emerging in the early 21st century as a counterpart to the aesthetic of post-cinematic affectivity that Shaviro so persuasively details. Sometimes considered under the name of “slow cinema” or “the new silent cinema” (or, as | 1 5.3 Post-Cinematic Atavism Selmin Kara puts it, “primordigital cinema”), post-cinematic atavism is not limited to art- house or independent films.

Actors mingle and clash in the best possible lighting, and conversation is fraught with wit and emotion. The director usually gets the bulk of the credit. But before he or she can play the consummate host, someone must carefully select the right guests, send out the invites, and keep track of the RSVPs”. ‘OSCARS: The Role Of Casting Director’ by Monica Corcoran Harel, The Deadline Team, December 6, 2012 Playing one of the key roles in creating that successful “dinner” is the Casting Director, but someone who is often over-looked in the recognition department. Everyone sees the actor at work, but very few people see the hours of research, the intrinsic skills, the gut instinct that the Casting Director puts into finding just the right person for just the right role. It’s a mix of routine and inspiration which brings the characters we come to love, and sometimes to hate, to the big screen. The Casting Director’s delicate work as liaison between director, actors, their agent/manager and the studio/network figures prominently in decisions which can make or break a project. It’s a job that can't garner an Oscar, but its mighty importance is always felt behind the scenes. In July 2013, the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) created a new branch for Casting Directors, and we are thrilled that a number of members of the International Casting Directors Network are amongst the first Casting Directors invited into the Academy.

Following the work of Peter Brooks on melodrama, the exploitation film is a mode concerned with spectacular violence and its relationship to the political, as defined by French philosopher Jacques Rancière. For Rancière, the political is an “intervention into the visible and sayable,” where members of a community who are otherwise uncounted come to be seen as part of the community through a “redistribution of the sensible.” This aesthetic rupture allows the demands of the formerly-invisible to be seen and considered. We can see this operation at work in the exploitation film, and by investigating a series of exploitation auteurs, we can augment our understanding of what Rancière means by the political.
