Une expression découverte ici à la faveur du mouvement populaire qui a agité La Guadeloupe, La Martinique… Et la « métropole » au début du printemps. Si le vocable Pwofitation a lui aussi connu un grand succès public, c’est au Lyannaj que nous dédions notre 9ème édition. Formidable langue créole qui nous offre ce mot en partage… Littéralement « lianer », c’est nouer, relier, vivre ensemble, et faire ensemble. Or depuis 2001, notre propos est justement de créer ce « Lyannaj » à Groix. Les insulaires et les amoureux des îles s’y retrouvent autour du cinéma, de la musique, et des débats. Lyannaj… à Sri Lanka. Notre île invitée en a bien besoin ! L'actuelle défaite militaire de la rebellion séparatiste tamoul met fin à près de 30 ans d'un conflit qui aura fait plus de 80 000 morts. Sans partis pris, autre que celui des populations civiles, nous avons invité des personnalités qui défendent la paix, la démocratie, et le « vivre ensemble », toutes confessions et ethnies confondues. En partenariat avec Amnesty International, nous vous proposons une vingtaine de films en provenance de l’île « aux mille sourires » et aux mille peines, en majorité inédits en France. Lyannaj toujours, mais cette fois contre la pwofitation. Nous vous invitons, par des films et des débats, à revenir sur le formidable séisme qui a secoué La Guadeloupe et la Martinique, avant de nous arrêter une nouvelle fois chez leur voisine Haïti. Nous la fêterons à travers des documentaires et des concerts afin d’amorcer notre futur partenariat avec la commune des Abricots et son maire Jean-Claude Fignolé.
  • Trailblazers of Fine Arts

    Trailblazers of Fine Arts

    Kaushalya Fernando T RAILBLAZERS OF FINE ARTS ...: She belongs to a new generation of artistes Face to Face by Ranga Chandrarathne Jackson Anthony's venomous attack on Kaushalya's acting once condemned her as an actress who is willing to expose 'ugly nudity, and categorised her as one among a group of actors including Hemasiri Liyanage, W.Jayasiri, Mahendra Perera and Saumya Liyanage. He also condemned this group's application of the media, as those films were not aesthetic creations, but creations based on delirious thoughts. It is surprising to hear a person who had worked with progressive directors like Dharmasiri Bandaranayake and the late Sugathapala de Silva making such petty and baseless remarks on serious and ground-braking creative work. Career Kaushalya did not want to comment on the adverse remarks. In her trailblazing career, she has acted in many stage dramas including 'Vikurti', 'Katandara Dekak' by her mother Somalatha Subasinghe, 'Punthila' a play directed by a Finnish theatre director and Sugathapala de Silva's 'Marat Sade' for which Kaushalya won Special Award of the Jury. Among the stage plays she acted are Dharmasiri Bandaranaike's 'Dhawala Bheeshana' for which she won the best actress's award, Somalatha Subasinghe's 'Antigone', 'Dona Kathirina', 'Yadam' and 'Nambukara Vilasiniya'. In most of these stage plays, Kaushalya won either Best Actress's Award or Best Supporting Actress's Award. For Asoka Handagama's 'Dunhida Addara' and 'Sanda Dadayama', Kaushalya won the Best Actress's Award and the Best Actress's Critic's Award. Handagama's 'Diyakata Pahana', Sudath Mahadiulwewe's 'Wanaspathi', Bertram Nihal's 'Isuru Gira' were some of the other teledramas she acted in.

Aquellas mujeres llenas de tonalidades, retratadas por Mohsen Makhmalbaf, contrastaban de forma inusitada con la sobriedad negra de sus contemporáneas. Los cines que vienen del Sur vuelan como las grullas, que son aves de paso, para hacer estación en Granada al iniciarse la temporada estival. Es época propicia para salir a la calle y admirar propuestas sorprendentes que se nos ofrecen en las pantallas de toda la ciudad y nos relatan historias que entremezclan la realidad con la imaginación de los cineastas; que nos hacen volar, como si fuéramos velocísimos pájaros migratorios, de Turquía a Brasil, y de allí a la China y en unas pocas horas más hasta Argelia.
  • In Post-War Sri Lankan Memory Culture

    In Post-War Sri Lankan Memory Culture

    ABSTRACT ‘LABORS OF MEMORY’ AND ‘GUERILLA-TYPES OF ATTRITION’ IN POST-WAR SRI LANKAN MEMORY CULTURE by Dinidu Priyanimal Karunanayake Speaking of Sri Lanka’s civil war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, Ananda Abeysekara observes an authorization of a power dynamic between Buddhism, the state head, and the nation. The official end of the war on May 19, 2009 has reaffirmed this religio- national power grid. Correspondingly, the religious fervor has become an indispensable ingredient in post-war memory culture. This thesis concentrates on state-sanctioned memory work and the ways in which it is resisted by artists who draw from memories of trauma. Using Sarath Weerasekara’s Gamani (2011), this thesis explores the “uses and abuses” of memory (Jelin) in the state–sponsored post–war cinema. The thesis also examines how this hegemonic memory narrative is deconstructed, through a close reading of Sanjeewa Pushpakumara’s Flying Fish (2011), and engages with the work of artists Thamotharapillai Sanaathanan and Bandu Manamperi. It thus shows how memories are merged with a quest for justice. ‘LABORS OF MEMORY’ AND ‘GUERILLA-TYPES OF ATTRITION’ IN POST-WAR SRI LANKAN MEMORY CULTURE A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of English by Karunanayake Pathirannehelage Dinidu Priyanimal Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2014 Advisor________________________ Professor Nalin Jayasena Reader_________________________ Professor Anita Mannur Reader_________________________
