Gemeinsam können wir auf ein gutes Jahr für die Kunst zurückblicken: nationale und internationale Preise für den österreichischen Film, die Umsetzung der Kinodigitalisie- rung für die Programmkinos, ein vielbeachteter Beitrag Österreichs bei der Kunstbiennale in Venedig, weitere Stärkung des zeitgenössischen Kunstschaffens und die nachhaltige © Hans Ringhofer Umsetzung der Nachwuchsförderung und Kulturvermittlung.

The estab­ lishment of a chamber music society completes the full spectrum of perform­ ing arts that was fundamental to the original concept of Lincoln Center. The Chamber Music Society of Lin­ coln Center will have as its home the Center’s new Alice Tully Hall. This intimate hall, though located within the new Juilliard building, will be managed by Lincoln Center as an independent Wadsworth Carmirelli Treger public auditorium, with its own entrance and box office on Broadway between 65th and 66th Streets. The hall, with its 1,100 capacity and paneled basswood walls, has been specifically designed for chamber music and recitals. The initial Board of Directors of the New Chamber Music Society will com­ prise Miss Alice Tully, Chairman; Frank E. Taplin, President; Edward R. Ward­ well, Vice-President; David Rockefeller, Jr., Treasurer; Sampson R. Field, Sec­ retary; Mrs. George A. Carden; Dr. Peter Goldmark; Mrs. William Rosen- wald and Dr. William Schuman. The Chamber Music Society is being organ­ ized on a non-profit basis and, like other cultural institutions, depends upon voluntary contributions for its existence. Charles Wadsworth has been ap­ pointed Artistic Director of The Cham­ ber Music Society of Lincoln Center. The Society is the outgrowth of an in­ tensive survey of the chamber music field and the New York chamber music audience, conducted by Mr.

Katyn Abstract This is a review of Katyn (2007). This film er view is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol11/iss2/8 Garbowski: Katyn A little over a year ago a renowned American critic of popular culture came to speak to Polish students at my university. The critic had done some homework, and what she managed to read about Polish history convinced her that there was a mountain of material for fabulous films now that censorship had ended. Some such films have been released; Roman Polanski's The Pianist of 2002 is an outstanding example. Now, Andrzej Wajda, the Nestor of Polish cinema, has made one of his most powerful films in years on the topic of one of the more heinous Soviet war crimes, the massacre of thousands of Polish officers captured after their invasion of the country a couple of weeks after the Nazis attacked in September of 1939.

The independent Slovak Republic was born a quarter of a century ago – the first democratic state of the Slovaks, of which we can be rightly proud. Slovakia’s story has been anything but straightfor- ward, yet we have come a long way in the past twenty-five years. I can gladly say that Slovakia has been able to make good use of the unique potential of European integration. Over the course of twenty- five years of hard work, we have become a democratic and prosperous country – and a constituent of the safest, freest, most prosperous and best-governed part of the world. On 1st May, Slovakia celebrated 14 years of EU membership. This membership has been a natural homecoming to the family of democratic countries of Europe, from which we, together with other countries in the region, had been ripped out as a result of decisi- ons made by others. Our membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is also crucial, providing a prerequisite for our prosperity by sharing responsibility for common security.
