As we are here to sup- port and assist talented filmmakers to bring their stories on the big screen and, finally, to promote them, As the first Film TEEP Workshop fulfilled its mission so proficiently, We are happy to support the second Bucharest Film TEEP workshop, which will help you to improve the creative content and international potential of your feature projects and will continue to develop your professional network especially for the East European region, and to encourage an international audiovisual collaboration. After the strict selection from March, the best teams have been invited to share and better their stories with very experienced trainers, brought from all over Europe. Having classes on scriptwriting, production and financing, as well as feedbacks from your tutors and from your colleagues will help you to continue your way to the final draft. In this workshop you’ll share and get rich with a bunch of great ideas and knowledge, but with traditions and other important values from different peo- ple and cultures, as well. So have a great and productive time in Bucharest. 17 times in the years to come, I wish to discover in the darkness of the thea- tre hall, on the large screen, the stories from this workshop. Welcome to Romania, Head of National Center of Cinema Mihail Kogalniceanu 3 Welcome to Film TEEP Dear friends, dear colleagues, To say “dear Friends“ is maybe a little bit optimistic before starting. Maybe hate and sorrow will flow in the streets of Bucharest in May. But sure we are colleagues, cinema lovers, filmmakers and with dozens of stories to tell. This passion we share will tie us better than any common language, common political statement or even common films we love. What we think, believe or like is nothing in front of what we dream with, That’s the strength of cinema and your projects are strong. This event has been set up very quickly, with generous support from the Romanian CNC. But the architect is Ruxandra Cernat, she was convincing, supporting and organising. You will be the scriptwriters, the directors, the producers… We will be the tutors, the production and script advisers, But without her, nobody could be here. Nobody could learn anything, not you, not me. “Anyone who's made film and knows about the cinema has a lifelong love affair with the experience. Because you never stop learning about film“. Francis Ford Coppola Because it’s all about learning, dear colleagues, and this from other colleagues, in a different language from what you speak at home, with people not knowing where exactly you come from, and with their own world, taste and references. Like in the real cinema life. To deal with foreigners, strangers and competitors is your destiny. You will never know if they want to build their own home on your field Or they want really to help you to make your home better Or simply they are polite… But further than opinions, advices or tricks, You will see you are not alone; you are part of a community, a film community willing to help you, improving your ideas, giving you some links and ready to answer in the future. A vey warm welcome to this workshop, I hope it will be a creative tool for you. Because people need stories, Let’s be storytellers.

  • Appel Candidatures
    APPEL À CANDIDATURE ATELIER DE RÉALISATION DE FILMS DOCUMENTAIRES du MARDI 31 OCTOBRE au LUNDI 18 DÉCEMBRE 2017 ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE de BANGUI Cet atelier de formation s'adresse à tous les Centrafricains, femmes et hommes, désireux de se tourner vers la réalisation de films documentaires et soucieux de rendre compte de la réalité de leur pays. Il ne concerne pas seulement des personnes qui auraient déjà une expérience de la réalisation, mais s'adresse aussi bien à des personnes venant d'horizons différents (journalistes, fixeurs, responsables associatifs, etc.) attirés par ce moyen d’expression artistique. Aucune connaissance technique n'est requise. Les participants à l'atelier seront choisis à la fois pour leur motivation, pour leur aptitude à observer la réalité qui les entoure et leur capacité à travailler en groupe. LES ATELIERS VARAN Créés par Jean Rouch en 1981, les Ateliers Varan sont une école de cinéma unique en son genre, née du désir de former des réalisateurs de pays émergents à s’emparer des outils du cinéma documentaire pour refléter leurs réalités propres. Varan n’est pas une école au sens classique et académique du terme : les méthodes de travail y poussent à l’extrême le principe d’enseignement par la pratique : tout s’articule, pour chaque stagiaire, autour de la fabrication de films « en grandeur réelle ». Cet apprentissage du “regard documentaire” s’appuie sur une pédagogie qui s’est rôdée au fil de stages et d’ateliers menés sur les cinq continents. Le but est de décomplexer les participants face au langage cinématographique et de définir le rôle et la place du cinéaste, ses enjeux éthiques par rapport aux personnes filmées et au monde qui l’entoure.

Oral Traditions of Italo-Albanian Communities in Sicily and Calabria1 Oliver Gerlach Abstract: The main difference with respect to the Balkans is that Italo-Greek as well as Arbëresh communities had been rural throughout the centuries. Hence, the community itself did the job of the choir during Orthodox celebrations, which became only possible in certain communities belonging to two Archdioceses of the Byzantine rite: Lungro in Calabria and Piana degli Albanesi on Sicily. Within the catholic church they were allowed to celebrate the Greek rite, but this became possible due to a new law in church administration which existed since the 18th century. The question if there did really exist a continuous oral transmission since the arrival of Albanian emigrants during the last decades of the 15th century, and in as far they adapted to local customs of the Italo-Byzantine tradition which had survived around the Archimandritates in Italy, has not been an issue of historical research yet.

  • Ford Foundation Annual Report 2005
    Ford Foundation Annual Report 2005 our mission Strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation and advance human achievement. mission statement The Ford Foundation is a resource for innovative people and institutions worldwide. Our goals are to: strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation and advance human achievement. This has been our purpose for more than half a century. A fundamental challenge facing every society is to create political, economic and social systems that promote peace, human welfare and the sustainability of the environment on which life depends. We believe that the best way to meet this challenge is to encourage initiatives by those living and working closest to where problems are locat- ed; to promote collaboration among the nonprofit, government and business sectors; and to ensure participation by men and women from diverse communities and at all levels of society. In our experience, such activities help build common understand- ing, enhance excellence, enable people to improve their lives and reinforce their commitment to society. The Ford Foundation is one source of support for these activities. We work mainly by making grants or loans that build knowledge and strengthen organizations and networks. Since our financial resources are modest in comparison to societal needs, we focus on a limited number of problem areas and program strategies within our broad goals. Founded in 1936, the foundation operated as a local philanthropy in the state of Michigan until 1950, when it expanded to become a national and international foundation. Since its inception it has been an independent, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization.

  • FASA Screened to Much Acclaim at a Number of International Film Festivals
    FASA Screened to much acclaim at a number of international film festivals, Laza Razanajatovo’s latest offering is having its Ottawa premiere Friday, October 16 at The Inaugural Africa Film Festival of Ottawa. Fasa is the newest short film from Madagascan director Laza Razanajatovo. The film, which runs for sixteen minutes, follows Fasa as she attempts to reconnect with her ancestors through poetic meditation. Razanajatovo uses the image of the Zebu cattle as a symbol for the spiritual connection between both life and death. Fasa explores the matter of Zebu cattle poaching and the accompanying consequences of this unsavory act through the eyes of a young girl. Fasa is struggling with the loss of her father who dies protecting his herd from thieves. The narrative of Razanajatovo’s film draws attention to the hundreds of deaths that have occurred throughout Madagascan history as a result of cattle theft. Fasa is the cinematic depiction of the ways in which the conflict over zebu cattle in Madagascar has affected various aspects of society. The film evokes themes of loss and innocence through the point of view of this young woman who can only communicate with her father through her authoring of poems. Fasa has had a lengthy festival circuit throughout the past year and has premiered at The Africa Conference in Berlin and screened atThe Off-Short Film Festival in France, and at the 13th Annual Film Meetings Bejaia in Algeria. Laza Razanajatovo is a filmmaker working from his native country of Madagascar. He has often used the cinematic medium as a platform to address and emphasize social issues and change within his country.

  • Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
    Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone.
