Il Lake Como Film Festival giunge alla sua quinta edizione suggellando un quinquennio di grande vitalità. Unire il fascino paesaggistico alla bellezza estetica e stilistica dell’arte cinematografica, in una cornice unica come quella de Lago di Como, è stata un’idea che ha raccolto il consenso di importanti nomi del cinema internazionale, personaggi e istituzioni che hanno colto l’originale connubio qui proposto, quello del cinema che narra il paesaggio e lo fa secondo le differenti suggestioni del territorio, naturali e culturali. Un festival giovane è per definizione una realtà in continuo divenire e al quinto anno abbiamo voluto rinnovarne la forma, seguendo la sua vocazione itinerante, alla scoperta di nuovi luoghi: una città paesaggio, vestita di cinema. Da qui la nuova articolazione su diversi poli geografici, tematici, estetici, cercando in ogni luogo una specifica caratterizzazione, seguendo le trame di un racconto variopinto: tutte tessere tese a comporre un disegno che racchiude il fascino dell’arte visiva e della narrazione per immagini con il fascino dei luoghi. Al quinto anno, il festival è un seme maturo, forte del carattere coltivato in questi anni, da misurarsi non tanto sulla dimensione locale, ma soprattutto sulla sua qualità internazionale, di cui i contenuti e la linea di ricerca sono il segno evidente. An itinerant festival. This is now the fifth Lake Como Film Festival, and they have been five-years of great vitality. The Festival brings together the charm of the landscape and the aesthetic and stylistc beauty of the art of cinematography, in what is the wonderful setting Lake Como. The choice of place has received the consensus of big names in the world of international cinema, celebrities and institutions, all convinced by this marriage of cinematic narrative and the landscape, while drawing on a wealth of natural and cultural environments. As a young festival, it is one in a state of continuous evolution. In this fifth year we have renewed the format and, in keeping with its itinerant vocation, new locations have been found in a city landcape that is for the event draped in the fabric of the world of cinema. There are new geographic hubs, and new themes and aesthetics, as the Festival seeks out the special spirit of each place, following the muticoloured story of a visual arts tapestry with its story board of images that identify what is so special in each of the chosen places. In its fifth year the festival is also now becoming a mature fruit, displaying all the character patiently cultivated over these years, not just locally but also internationally, with its content and investigations bearing the clear hallmarks of distant influences. Alberto Cano Founder of Lake Como Film Festival POLI TEMATICI THEMATIC HUBS IT - Il festival è un progetto diffuso sul territorio della città di Como, che si muove lungo una traccia EN - The festival project spreads all over the city of Como, stretching north south over the sud/nord, in una città estesa, una città paesaggio che raccoglie in sé tutti gli elementi fondamentali: extended cityscape, and embraces all the essential elements of the modern town; urban dall'urbano al naturale, dagli elementi architettonici e storici, a quelli naturali.

L’approche choisie emprunte à la fois au champ littéraire et au champ cinématographique, et fait intervenir à la fois théoriciens, écrivains et cinéastes. À travers plusieurs regards croisés entre cinéastes et écrivains, ce mémoire décrit comment les thèmes du dépaysement, de la mémoire, de l’identité, du territoire et de la langue reviennent sans cesse dans les œuvres des auteurs migrants. Il interroge également la place des auteurs migrants au sein de la littérature et du cinéma nationaux, leur apport à l’imaginaire collectif, et plus largement leur place dans le discours social ambiant. À travers son œuvre, Mallet raconte sa propre expérience d’exilée en même temps qu’elle témoigne de ce qui s’est passé après le coup d’État au Chili en 1973, laissant des traces pour contrer l’histoire officielle.

  • Analysis of the UIS International Survey on Feature Film Statistics
    INFORMATION SHEET No. 1 Analysis of the UIS International Survey on Feature Film Statistics With the support of the Government of Québec and in collaboration with the Institut de la statistique du Québec (ISQ), the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) launched a new international survey in 2007 to collect data on feature films. The analysis was based on a preliminary study by Ivan Bernier, Associate Professor, Université Laval and Serge Bernier, Associate Professor, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières. Introduction The UIS International Survey on Feature Film Statistics is based on a new approach to gather internationally comparable and better quality data in the field of culture statistics. Cinema data elicit much interest because the film industry is experiencing massive transition and growth in certain developing countries. These data can also be relevant to the study of the diversity of cultural expressions. Data was obtained from 101 countries for the years 2005-2006, indicating a coverage rate of 49%. This is a relatively reasonable coverage rate for an international survey. In the majority of cases, the data were obtained directly from countries in response to the questionnaire; 75 countries responded, for a response rate of 36%. Among those who responded, 11 – mainly developing countries – indicated they had no data on film production. Data on 26 other countries were obtained from alternative sources (government information available on the Internet, international compilations, etc.). Figure 1 shows the geographical imbalance in coverage rates – a strong concentration in Europe and North America with a coverage rate of 88% and very little coverage in Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Pacific with 33%, 27% and 24% respectively.

  • New Cinema from Quebec at Museum
    FO The Museum of Modern Art * IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart Note to Critics and editors* Advance screenings on request NEW CINEMA FROM QUEBEC AT MUSEUM The Museum of Modern Art will introduce New Cinema from Quebec and will offer New Yorkers their first exposure to the emerging consciousness of young French-Canadian film­ makers. The program begins at the Museum on February 3 and will include Claude Jutra' s "Mon Oncle Antoine," recipient of the Best Film of the Year in the 1971 Canadian Film Awards, and one of the most popular and highly praised motion pictures ever produced in Canada. Guy Fregault, Deputy Minister of Cultural Affairs of Quebec, will introduce "Mon Oncle Antoine" at the 8:00 p. m. showing on February 3. There are altogether 11 features and six shorts in the series. "The cinema of Quebec is an anxious cinema," according to Larry Kardish, Assistant Curator of the Department of Film, who is responsible for organizing this film cycle. It includes critically acclaimed Canadian films not seen here previously, among them "Les Males," "Q-bec My Love," and "My Childhood in Montreal." Cut loose from traditional obedience to church and state and surrounded by a pervasive, alien culture, the French- Canadian filmmaker is involved in a quest for his own and his people' s identity, according to Mr. Kardish. In this quest, he turns repeatedly to two themes: the native land, particularly its physical aspects, and a political-cultural establishment that fails to fulfill the needs of his people.

  • Yashwantrao Chavan
    Yashwantrao Chavan MESSAGE Shri Yashwantrao Chavan, born on 12th March 1913 in a small village called Devrashtra in the then Satara district, hailed from a rural family with modest means. His father was a bailiff who succumbed to the epidemic of plague when Yashwantrao was only four years old. He was brought up by his mother under difficult circumstances. He grew up in a family where social and political reforms were a subject of daily debate and discourse. He spent about 15 months in jail but the period of incarceration turned out to be a blessing in disguise. There were many eminent scholars who were also in the same jail and they conducted virtual classes and turned the jail into a university. It was in the jail that he first absorbed knowledge of political ideologies and classical literature. When India's independence was on the horizon, he won the election to the Legislative Assembly in 1946 and began his political career as Parliamentary Secretary to the Home Minister, Shri Morarji Desai. Soon he got involved in the vortex of movement for the Samyukta Maharashtra. Eventually, he became the Chief Minister of bilingual State of Bombay in 1956. He made a name for himself with his capacity for work, candid dialogue with opposition and administrative acumen. The State of Maharashtra was formed on 1st May 1960 and Yashwantrao became the first Chief Minister of Maharashtra. In November 1962, he became the Defence Minister in the aftermath of the India-China conflict. He worked hard to restore the morale of the armed forces and to enhance his strength through modern weapons, better equipment, organizational changes and a harmonious relationship with the armed forces.
