  • 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.

  • Jewish Identity and German Landscapes in Konrad Wolf's I Was Nineteen
    Religions 2012, 3, 130–150; doi:10.3390/rel3010130 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article Homecoming as a National Founding Myth: Jewish Identity and German Landscapes in Konrad Wolf’s I was Nineteen Ofer Ashkenazi History Department, University of Minnesota, 1110 Heller Hall, 271 19th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: 1-651-442-3030 Received: 5 January 2012; in revised form: 13 March 2012 / Accepted: 14 March 2012 / Published: 22 March 2012 Abstract: Konrad Wolf was one of the most enigmatic intellectuals of East Germany. The son of the Jewish Communist playwright Friedrich Wolf and the brother of Markus Wolf— the head of the GDR‘s Foreign Intelligence Agency—Konrad Wolf was exiled in Moscow during the Nazi era and returned to Germany as a Red Army soldier by the end of World War Two. This article examines Wolf‘s 1968 autobiographical film I was Nineteen (Ich war Neunzehn), which narrates the final days of World War II—and the initial formation of postwar reality—from the point of view of an exiled German volunteer in the Soviet Army. In analyzing Wolf‘s portrayals of the German landscape, I argue that he used the audio- visual clichés of Heimat-symbolism in order to undermine the sense of a homogenous and apolitical community commonly associated with this concept. Thrown out of their original contexts, his displaced Heimat images negotiate a sense of a heterogeneous community, which assumes multi-layered identities and highlights the shared ideology rather than the shared origins of the members of the national community.

  • 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.

    Documenting Life As It Is Page 1 of 2 Words Nadia Muhanna Photos Manaf Hassan Art should do more than imitate life. It should capture and document it, says Syrian filmmaker Ammar al- Beik whose unconventional films and documentaries have won international praise. Syrian filmmaker Ammar al-Beik’s early start in the industry was less than successful. As a 12-year-old, Beik auditioned for a role in the movie Dreams of the City by noted Syrian director Mohammad Malas. He failed to make the cut. Some 19 years later, however, in an ironic twist, Malas would hire Beik as his assistant director for the film Bab al-Makam, released with the English title Passion in 2005, giving Beik his big break. Beik has charted an unconventional approach to filmmaking and it shows in his work. The 36-year-old avoids working with large film production companies which he believes restrict creativity by imposing a rigid framework of rules and conditions. Instead, he prefers to just grab the camera and shoot, letting his spontaneity guide him. He has been particularly influenced by French director Robert Bresson’s book Notes on the Cinematographer. Beik directs and produces all of his own work and insists on employing amateur actors. “Famous actors are spoiled by the movie industry,” he said. “Cinematography requires amateur models that are pure and intact, ones that spontaneously give themselves rather than actors who perfectly perform a role.” Showing me a bulging book filled with olive tree branches and stones collected from Jerusalem, Nazareth, Acre, Gaza, Haifa and Nablus, Beik explained that he asks Palestinian directors to bring a piece of their homeland to the international film festivals he attends.

Eizenstat, Ahmed Maher, Meir Rosenne, Robert Lipshutz. The behind-the-scenes negotiations leading to the first Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel are revealed in all their riveting complexity in "Back Door Channels: The Price of Peace." PBS docu helmer Harry Hunkele gained unprecedented access to major players for an enthralling dissection of the unlikely path to the groundbreaking treaty, though he bites off more than he can chew and needs to rein in a tendency toward portentous explication, underscored by the incongruous music of Moby and Whale Hawk. Despite such annoyances, the docu deserves widespread exposure on PBS and satcasters. The Camp David Accords, signed in 1978, marked an unlikely moment when idealism briefly triumphed over obdurate stonewalling. Though never entirely satisfactory, the accords offered the hope of a brighter future in the Middle East; the failure of that initial promise in no way diminishes the achievement, whose memory can still bring a lump to the throat.

  • The Picture of Abjection: Film, Fetish, and the Nature of Difference
    The Picture of Abjection: Film, Fetish, and the Nature of Difference By Tina Chanter Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2008. ISBN: 9780253219183. 15 illustrations, 377 pp. £19.99 (pbk) A review by Adrienne Angelo, Angelo, University of West Georgia, USA How do scholars and others with an interest in film studies and psychoanalysis engage with existing theoretical discourses on race, gender, culture and sexual difference in order to bypass the often polemicized and contested paradigm of fetishism and voyeurism, two critical modes that have dominated and continue to dominate film theory? It is this problematic that Tina Chanter explores in The Picture of Abjection: Film, Fetish and the Nature of Difference. For Chanter, drawing largely upon Kristeva's theoretical considerations of abjection, a point of entry to this endeavor lies precisely in further developing the implications of abjection as a "staging of a defensive dynamic that has the potential to significantly rework the imaginary commitments of Oedipal theory, specifically its privileging of masculinity and femininity" (17). Chanter's primary goal appears to be to develop a new critical model at the very center of which lies that which is otherwise neglected, excluded and expelled from dominant cultural discourse for being "too much", too "other". However, for as much as Chanter promotes a consideration of film and film theory, there is less an in-depth reading of films per se than a highly informed reconsideration of theoretical notions of subjectivity and the subject, one read through the lens of abjection and its destabilizing and thus subversive potential for considering marginalized identities and their representation in film theory.

  • Abu Dhabi Film Festival Opens Submissions for Second Session of SANAD Grants
    Press Release Abu Dhabi Film Festival Opens Submissions for Second Session of SANAD Grants • SANAD Supports Arab Film-makers for Fifth Consecutive Year • Projects Receive up to US$20,000 for Development and up to US$60,000 for Post-production Abu Dhabi-UAE: June 3, 2014 – SANAD, the Abu Dhabi Film Festival's (ADFF) development and post-production fund, has called for entries for the second session of grants from across the Arab World. Submissions will be accepted until July 15, 2014 and successful grantees will be informed at the end of August ahead of the Abu Dhabi Film Festival in October 2014. ADFF, powered by twofour54, the commercial arm of Media Zone Authority – Abu Dhabi, offers Arab filmmakers with projects up to US$20,000 for development and up to US$60,000 for post-production.

In the first session of 2014, approximately 75 percent of all the submissions came from film-makers making their first or second feature length projects. Ali Al Jabri, Director of ADFF, said: “SANAD seeks out bold and remarkable works from both new and established filmmakers either in the development or post-production stage. With intercultural dialogue, creativity and relationship building at its core, SANAD serves as a vehicle for identifying and supporting worthwhile projects while connecting filmmakers to potential partners, funding opportunities and audiences. “Our aim is to spotlight innovative film projects and provide year-round support for new and established filmmakers whose films are essential to the continuing growth and fascinating trends in Arab Cinema.
