    Jaarverslag 2006

    Jaarverslag 2006 - 2007 International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) toont de nieuwste onafhankelijke en vernieuwende films uit de wereld en is een platform voor actuele filmkunst, opkomend en gevestigd filmtalent en filmgerelateerde kunst. Naast de vertoning van films steunt het filmfestival actief de totstandkoming van auteurscinema en de deskundigheid van filmtalent, onafhankelijke filmindustrie en filmkritiek. Een internationale coproductiemarkt (CineMart), een fonds voor filmmakers in ontwikkelingslanden (Hubert Bals Fonds), trainingprojecten (Rotterdam Lab; Trainee Project for Young Film Critics) en debatten voor filmprofessionals maken deel uit van het filmfestival. Behalve via het filmfestival en de internationale activiteiten van Hubert Bals Fonds en CineMart, zorgt de Stichting Filmfestival Rotterdam er voor dat de kunstzinnige film in Nederland op andere wijzen te zien blijft: via de filmtheaters (Tigers on Tour), op DVD (Tiger Releases), televisie (NPS Wereldcinema) en online (Tigeronline.nl). Op landelijk, regionaal en lokaal niveau brengt IFFR studenten en scholieren in contact met onafhankelijke filmkunst via de Rotterdam Film Course, Meet the Maestro, Filmblik Rotterdam en Hollywood in de Klas. Geselecteerde filmmakers voor de VPRO Tiger Awards Competitie samen op de foto met filmfestivaldirecteur Sandra den Hamer.

As you may know, the Aspen Institute Germany is a non-partisan, privately supported organization dedicated to values-based leadership in addressing the toughest policy challenges of the day. As you will see from the reports on the Aspen European Strategy Forum, Iran, Syria, Lebanon and the Balkans that follow, a significant part of Aspen’s current work is devoted to promoting dialogue between key stakeholders on the most important strategic issues and to building lasting ties and constructive exchanges between leaders in North America, Europe and the Near East. The reports on the various events that Aspen convened in 2007 and 2008 show how Aspen achieves this: by bringing together interdisciplinary groups of decision makers and experts from business, academia, politics and the arts that might otherwise not meet. These groups are convened in small-scale conferences, seminars and discussion groups to consider complex issues in depth, in the spirit of neutrality and open mindedness needed for a genuine search for common ground and viable solutions. The Aspen Institute organizes a program on leadership development. In the course of 2007 and 2008, this program brought leaders from Germany, Lebanon, the Balkans and the United States of America together to explore the importance of values-based leadership together with one another.

  • The Personal Impact of Exile

    The Personal Impact of Exile

    “Exile brings you overnight where it would normally take a lifetime to go” Joseph Brodsky i 3 Endnotes .............................................................................................................................................................................34 Foreword by Zamaneh Media As an independent media organization or journalist in exile, it is easy that to feel you are unique. Unique in the sense that your work is of unprecedented importance, but also that challenges you face are yours alone. The isolation, evident throughout this report, is an important factor in this, combined with a passionate solidarity with and commitment to all your countrymen and women living under severe repression. Because we are based in the Netherlands, we at Zamaneh Media have the luxury of regular and close contact with various other exiled media organizations for audiences in different countries, especially Radio Dabanga and Radio Tamazuj. Through these encounters, we feel less alone. We found that exiled media organizations like us not only share a similar passion, but also face challenges that often are remarkably similar. Not only editorial challenges, but also financial, organizational and security-related ones. This has urged us to investigate these similarities thoroughly and structurally. This urge resulted in a two-day expert meeting with representatives of exiled media from all over the world, with the primary aim of sharing both challenges, but also best practices and mitigation tactics. An effort that has been generously supported by the two aforementioned media houses and facilitated by Michelle Foster, all of whom deserve our sincerest gratitude for joining us on this journey. This report details the conclusions of our meeting, supplemented with a wealth of insights from previous work as well as the detailed knowledge of independent media that Newsgain brings to the table.

  • Online Technologies and the Power Struggle in Iran ARASH ANGHAEI

    Online Technologies and the Power Struggle in Iran ARASH ANGHAEI

    Cyber-Activists as Innovators: Online Technologies and the Power Struggle in Iran ARASH ANGHAEI A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of East London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2016 Abstract This thesis analyses key social and technical capabilities and functions in Iran through the lens of the National Innovation System (NIS) model, focusing on processes influencing the on-going online encounter between the regime and local and expatriate pro- democracy cyber-activists in the aftermath of the country's contested presidential elections in June 2009. Conceptually, it is located in Science and Technology Studies (STS), with an emphasis on constructivist theory including Social Shaping of Technology (SST) as its creative backbone. In the original Nordic conceptualisation of the NIS model, openness is considered a given. This prevents the model from adequately explaining the dynamics of innovation in repressive countries. In Iran, nationwide innovation processes are distorted by high level security officials' ideology-driven approach to the generation and diffusion of scientific knowledge and the influence of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) over Iran's national economy. Bifurcated due to significant political differences, the Iranian NIS has become dysfunctional in the absence of an integrated, democratic structure, making the country highly dependent on foreign expertise. The overreliance of Iran on cross-border technological contributions is reflected in the state's internet surveillance apparatus. Currently, major European information and communications technology (ICT) companies aid the core of the censorship infrastructure employed by the Iranian regime, while a great majority of the anti-filtering software used by the cyber-activists is developed by North American universities, research centres and human rights NGOs.

    Censorship of Poetry in Post-Revolutionary Iran (1979 to 2014), Growing up with Censorship (A Memoir), and the Kindly Interrogator (A Collection of Poetry)

    Censorship of Poetry in Post-Revolutionary Iran (1979 to 2014), Growing up with Censorship (A Memoir), and The Kindly Interrogator (A Collection of Poetry) Alireza Hassani This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics Department of Creative Writing November 2015 Abstract The thesis comprises a dissertation, a linking piece and a collection of poems. The dissertation is an analysis of state-imposed censorship in Iranian poetry from 1979 through 2014. It investigates the state's rationale for censorship, its mechanism and its effects in order to show how censorship has influenced the trends in poetry and the creativity of poets during the period studied. The introduction outlines attitudes towards censorship in three different categories: Firstly, censorship as "good and necessary", then censorship as "fundamentally wrong yet harmless or even beneficial to poetry", and lastly, censorship as a force that is always destructive and damages poetry. Chapter one investigates the relevant laws, theories and cultural policies in order to identify the underlying causes for censorship of poetry. Chapter two looks at the structure and mechanism of the censorship apparatus and examines the role of cultural organizations as well as judicial and security forces in enforcing censorship. Chapter three contemplates and explores the reaction of Iranian poets to censorship and different strategies and techniques they adopt to protest, challenge and circumvent censorship. Chapter four analyses the outcome of the relationship between the censorship apparatus and the poets, providing a clear picture of how censorship defines, shapes and presents the poetry produced and published in Iran.
