  • FILM FESTIVAL 22Nd - 29Th November 2012
    UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA IN PRETORIA SERBIAN ARTS AND CULTURE SOCIETY AFRICA SERBIAN FILM FESTIVAL 22nd - 29th November 2012 NU METRO, MONTECASINO An author’s perspective of the world Film, as a sublimation of all arts, is a true medium, a universal vehicle with which the broader public is presented with a world view, as seen by the eye of the fi lmmaker. Nowadays, due to the global economic crisis, which is ironically producing technological and all sorts of other develop- ments, an increasing number of people are pushed to the margins of average standards of living, and fi lmmakers are given the chance to bring under their ‘protection’ millions of disillusioned people with their fi lmmaking capabilities. Art, throughout its history, has always praised but has also been heavily critical of its subject. Film is not just that. Film is that and so much more. Film is life itself and beyond life. Film is everything many of us dream about but never dare to say out loud. That is why people love fi lms. That is why it is eternal. It tears down boundaries and brings together cul- tures. It awakens curiosity and builds bridges from one far away coast to another. Film is a ‘great lie’ but an even greater truth. Yugoslavian, and today the Serbian fi lm industry has always been ‘in trend’. It might sound harsh but, unfortunately, this region has always provided ample ‘material’ for fi lms. Under our Balkan clouds there has been an ongoing battle about which people are older, which came and settled fi rst, who started it and who will be fi rst to leave and such battles have been and continue to be an inspiration to fi lm producers.

  • Shohei Juku Aikido Canada
    Shohei Juku Aikido Canada Monthly Newsletter March, 2011. Number 75 “Over the Rainbow” Spring, March, hopeful Spring, joyful days... We had to practice saying these words around the time of the graduation ceremony in March. The Grade 5 class gave a graduation speech to Grade 6 and Grade 6 did the same to Grade 5 and the teachers. Around now I usually look back at all my memories about past graduation ceremonies. I think the ceremony does leave long lasting impressions on everyone's hearts. The other day I watched the 83rd Academy Awards on TV. This award was established in 1927 to promote the art of movie making in America. When I was a student I used to go watch foreign films like American movies. I preferred going alone. That way if I saw sad scenes, I could cry hard without worrying about anybody else. But there were no such scenes in Bruce Lee movies. In fact I was so excited that I danced around a lot. It was hard to copy Bruce Lee but his moves were so cool that it was worth trying. I skipped school and stayed at the movie theatre all day long with my lunch box. I was definitely young then! That much I was into Bruce Lee but unfortunately he never received an Academy Award. I believe he didn't even get nominated. When people accept an Academy Award, they thank their staff and cast members, praise and recognize their efforts but apparently they do not receive any prize money. The winners only receive a statue called “Oscar”.

Fullerton Ave. Chicago, IL 60614 (773) 281-9075 www.facets.org CICFF Mission: In 1983, Facets founded the Chicago International Children's Film Festival, the first competitive festival of films for children in the U.S. The impetus for the Festival came from a need to introduce new, non-violent, culturally diverse films for children to American children's audiences, and to recognize excellence in children's filmmaking. In addition, the Festival sought to empower children by involving them directly in the adjudication process. From its inception, the Festival has had independent juries of children and adult media professionals awarding prizes in multiple categories. For over 30 years, Facets Multi-Media has focused on developing innovative programs for children. The late Roger Ebert called Facets' children's programs, "One of the great movie treasures of Chicago." • CICFF is the largest, oldest and most prestigious film festival for children in the United States • CICFF showcase an average of 250 films from over 45 countries each year • The CICFF is the first Academy qualifying children’s film festival in the world -- Festival winners can (and do) go on to compete for the Oscars®. “The Lost Thing” (Australia) rd 83 Academy Awards Winner, Animated Short • More than 23,000 children, families and educators attend the Festival annually “A Cat in Paris” (France) “The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore” (US) 84th
