NEWS NEW RELEASES MIPTV 2006 Desert Race – the Ultimate Adventure A unique look upon the legendary Dakar Rally The Dakar Rally is the world’s longest and toughest motor race. This is a tale of survival of the fittest, and completing the race is in itself an enormous achievement. It is an event that brings together real men and the toughest tom-boys. The Dakar Rally is a rarity in a man’s world of the purest kind. It is a kind of community that nowadays practically exists only in the armed forces and some biker gangs, where it is often described as violent and callous. But the solidarity is positive and its structure basically masculine and so it comes naturally to men. It is the stories of these people, their dreams and their hopes that the film provides. We live with them in their ups and downs, we share their disappointments and cheer with them in their victories. We follow them day and Arts & Culture night through the sacrifices they make to ensure their chariots the best possible positions. ● Producer: ....................Carsten Holst Ready for screening Director: ......................Wadt Thomsen September 2006 Produced by: ..............Allright Film Duration: .....................58 min.

If their equipment fails they will have made their very last dive, because it is often as much as half an hour or even an hour to the next air pocket. In return fabulous experiences await the intrepid explorer: nature’s own inconceivably wondrous cathedrals, inhabited by species hitherto unknown. The fantastic caves attract cavers with their own particular dreams of revealing the secrets hidden there. Biologists, geologists and zoologists make the pilgrimage to Yucatan, Mexico, in search of the perfect altar for their ritual of derring-do and quest for beauty.

Email: [email protected] Crossing the Line What does it take to push us into the zone where we transgress ethical and legal boundaries? And as individuals and society as a whole, can we accept assault, torture and murder if we think the situation justifies them? Crossing the Line draws on hard-hitting, up-to-date examples to spotlight the dilemma of human rights versus our own protection. Esad Landzo, an ex Bosnian soldier, is a striking example of how close to the surface our inner torturer can be. He grew up in the bosom of a happy nuclear family. As a young soldier he emerged from the closet as a bloodthirsty avenger, torturing and murdering fellow human beings in cold blood. Today he is penitent, but from his prison cell he asks if he really had any choice. However, could or would any citizen in his right mind follow in Landzo’s bloody footsteps and resort to torture or murder for his own protection? And is even the most civilized society prepared to cross the line and ignore ethics and human rights if its Arts & Culture safety so requires? Many of us probably think or at least hope that this is not so. But the facts tell a different story. ● MIPDOC Video library Director: ....................

Official roads to Europe have been more or less closed for immigrants. The Other Europe presents the millions of illegal immigrants that force their way in anyway. We are allowed into their everyday life – a life without passports, papers, insurance, and all the other things we take for granted. The Other Europe will take the viewer to Germany, Spain, UK, and Belgium to illustrate the central dilemma of the film: the fact that the Europeans feel they are victims, drowned by a tide of immigrants. But is that the true picture? Is Europe really the victim, or do the demands for ridiculously cheap labour Arts & Culture create a breeding ground for the hundreds of thousands who sneak in illegally every year? Is Europe a helpless victim or in fact creating the tide? ● Latest film by award winning director Poul-Erik Heilbuth.

The boy discloses that the man and woman he has been living with are not his real parents. Cases have shown that many refugee children have been “reunited” with false parents, and we accompany eight-year-old Yousef on a dramatic, highly emotional journey back to the parents in Iraq who originally dispatched their son to Denmark. The programme takes us extraordinarily close to Yousef and the complicated business of getting him back to his real parents in Iraq. It reveals everything from bureaucracy, the difficulties of planning travel History & Politicsto a war-ravaged country, and the dramatic, deeply moving journey into the chaos of Iraq. We appreciate Yousef’s longing to see his family and his trepidation at returning to them, and we are present at the ● thought-provoking encounter between two very different approaches to child-rearing: an encounter that does not turn out quite as expected. 2005 Nordic Documentary Award MIPDOC Video library Director: ......................Jacob Adrian Mikkelsen Producer: ....................Steen Jensen Produced by: ..............DR TV (Danish Broadcasting Corp.)

    Duke Ellington Monument Unveiled in Central Park Tatum, Elinor

    Document 1 of 1 Duke Ellington monument unveiled in Central Park Tatum, Elinor. New York Amsterdam News [New York, N.Y] 05 July 1997: 14:3. Abstract A monument to jazz legend Duke Ellington was unveiled at Duke Ellington Circle on the northeast corner of Central Park on Jul 1, 1997. The jet black, 25-ft-high memorial was sculpted by Robert Graham and depicts Ellington, standing by his piano. The statue is a gift from the Duke Ellington Memorial Fund, founded by Bobby Short. Full Text Duke Ellington monument unveiled in Central Park The four corners of Central Park are places of honor. On the southwest gateway to the park are monuments and a statue of Christopher Columbus. On the southeast corner is a statue of General William Tecumseh Sherman. Now, on the northeast corner of the park, one of the greatest jazz legends of all time and a Harlem hero, the great Duke Ellington, stands firmly with his piano and his nine muses to guard the entrance to the park and to Harlem from now until eternity. The monument to Duke Ellington was over 18 years in the making, and finally, the dream of Bobby Short, the founder of the Duke Ellington Memorial Fund, came to its fruition with the unveiling ceremony at Duke Ellington Circle on 110th Street and Fifth Avenue on Tuesday. Hundreds of fans, family, friends and dignitaries came out to celebrate the life of Duke Ellington as he took his place of honor at the corner of Central Park. The jet black, 25-foot-high memorial sculpted by Robert Graham stands high in the sky, with Ellington standing by his piano, supported by three pillars of three muses each.

Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard.

    ABSTRACT HUMANITIES DECUIR, MICHAEL B.A. SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY AT NEW ORLEANS, 1987 M.A. THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY, 1989 THE INFLUENCE OF LOUIS ARMSTRONG ON THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE 1923–1930 Committee Chair: Timothy Askew, Ph.D. Dissertation dated August 2018 This research explores Louis Armstrong’s artistic choices and their impact directly and indirectly on the African-American literary, visual and performing arts between 1923 and 1930 during the period known as the Harlem Renaissance. This research uses analyses of musical transcriptions and examples of the period’s literary and visual arts to verify the significance of Armstrong’s influence(s). This research also analyzes the early nineteenth century West-African musical practices evident in Congo Square that were present in the traditional jazz and cultural behaviors that Armstrong heard and experienced growing up in New Orleans. Additionally, through a discourse analysis approach, this research examines the impact of Armstrong’s art on the philosophical debate regarding the purpose of the period’s art. Specifically, W.E.B. Du i Bois’s desire for the period’s art to be used as propaganda and Alain Locke’s admonitions that period African-American artists not produce works with the plight of blacks in America as the sole theme. ii THE INFLUENCE OF LOUIS ARMSTRONG ON THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE 1923–1930 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF ARTS IN HUMANITIES BY MICHAEL DECUIR DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES ATLANTA, GEORGIA AUGUST 2018 © 2018 MICHAEL DECUIR All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest debt of gratitude goes to my first music teacher, my mother Laura.

    Chicago Music Communities and the Everyday Significance of Playing Jazz

    MUSIC PRACTICES AS SOCIAL RELATIONS: CHICAGO MUSIC COMMUNITIES AND THE EVERYDAY SIGNIFICANCE OF PLAYING JAZZ by John Frederic Behling A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Music: Musicology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Mark Allan Clague, Chair Professor Paul A. Anderson Professor Kelly M. Askew Professor Charles Hiroshi Garrett Copyright John Frederic Behling 2010 Acknowledgements In this dissertation, I argue that the solos of jazz musicians spring from the practices of the communities in which they live. What holds true for expression and creativity in jazz is no less true of academic research and writing. This dissertation would not be possible without the support and encouragement of many communities and individuals. I thank all the musicians in Chicago who played music with me and welcomed me into their communities. I am especially grateful to Aki Antonia Smith, Edwina Smith, Scott Earl Holman, and Ed Breazeale for befriending me and introducing me to the musicians and communities about whom I write. I am also grateful for the support of my academic community. Kelly Askew introduced me to the anthropological side of ethnomusicology. Her writing showed me what compassionate and concrete ethnography should be like. Paul Anderson’s late night seminars helped me understand that musical practices have philosophical and psychological significance and that jazz criticism is part of a much larger and long- standing intellectual conversation. Charles Hiroshi Garrett, a late addition to my committee, embraced this project with enthusiasm. His generous encouragement and insightful comments are greatly appreciated.
