Festivals & Prizes: Official Competition, Berlin (Jury Grand Prix; Silver Bear for Best Actor); Jerusalem; London Members Winner of two major prizes at this year’s Berlin Film Festival, including Best Actor, this new film from Leon Gorr, Peter Ivany, Les Rabinowicz, Michael Roseby & Michael Selwyn Argentinian director Daniel Burman (his Waiting for the Messiah opened our Festival in 2000) is the most eagerly awaited Jewish movie of the year and one of the hottest on the international festival circuit. Set in Honorary Consultants: Herbert, Geer & Rundle present-day, post-devaluation Argentina, Lost Embrace is a wonderful, bittersweet comedy which explores very large themes through the unlikeliest of situations. Ariel (Daniel Hendler), a broodingly handsome, intense Honorary Solicitors: Marshalls & Dent twentysomething, lives in Galeria Once, a run-down shopping centre in the Jewish inner-city area of Buenos Aires, where his mother Sonia runs a lingerie store, and his energetic, roguish brother Joseph, who was once an Honorary Accountants: Roseby, Rosner & Young aspiring rabbi, has an import-export business. The Galeria is an amusingly diverse affair, with Koreans, Italians and other dislocated immigrants, along with families like Ariel’s, whose grandparents came to Argentina from Poland to escape the Holocaust. Ariel wants to claim a Polish passport and identity so he can go to Europe and Honorary Auditors: Sothertons L.L.P. start a new life. What pre-occupies him most, though, is not his grandparents’ harrowing experiences, or his own uncertain future, but why his father went to Israel shortly after Ariel was born, to join its army and fight in the Yom Kippur War. Why, Ariel ponders, did his father never return and why does his mother still stand up Festival Director: Les Rabinowicz for a man who left her in the lurch with two young children? All is resolved in the most perfect of endings, underplayed and tender. Festival Programmer: Diane Perelsztejn Friends of the Festival A ustralian Première Jessica Goldstein, Mansook Irving, Phillip Zajac, Delyce Litchfield, Scott Murray, AMEN Annette Smith & Lina Raso France 2002 Costa-Gavras 132 min In English Festivals & Prizes: Official Competition, Berlin; César Best Screenplay, France We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the following organizations and individuals: With hard-hitting films like The Music Box, Missing and Z, Greek director Costa-Gavras has never been afraid of inciting controversy Donors during his long and much-lauded international career. But he may Arkardy Shtrambrandt; The Pratt Foundation; Standard Universal Group; have tackled his most incendiary subject yet with Amen, a searing The Ivany Investment Group; Rosie & Solomon Lew historical thriller about Pope Pius XII’s silence during the Holocaust. Based loosely on Rolf Hochhuth’s groundbreaking 1963 play, The Deputy, this meticulously researched film follows two characters as With the assistance of: they attempt to alert the Church and the wider world to the Altshul Printers and AltCreative; extermination of Europe’s Jews in Hitler’s death camps. The first is Mercure Grand Hotel on Swanston, Melbourne; the remarkable figure of Kurt Gerstein, the German SS officer who was pivotal in providing the Zyklon B gas Sofitel Wentworth Sydney used in the gas chambers, a gas he originally thought was being used for decontamination purposes. Appalled by what he witnessed, Gerstein tried to sabotage his own production line and expose what the Germans were doing. Gerstein’s Schindleresque mission parallels that of a fictional second character, an idealistic young Jesuit (played by the director and actor Mathieu Kassovitz – Amélie, Métisse, La Haine), who struggles to make the Pope speak out. Instead, he discovers pro-German and anti-Semitic pressures at the Vatican, along with the infamous Vatican escape route used to ferry fleeing Nazis out of Europe at war’s end.

Set in the working-class “Hatikva” section of southern Tel Aviv, Avanim (literally politics and, mercifully, other ‘big’ issues to portray a “stones” in Hebrew) tells the story of thirtysomething Michale (splendidly played by Asi Levi) as family which is blessedly normal in its internal chaos.

  • Migration Story: from Muslim Immigrants to European Citizens of The
    A Migration Story From Muslim Immigrants to European "Citizens of the Heart?"' BASSAM TIBI Although a newcomer with regard to migration of a global scope, Europe has become a popular destination for Muslim immigrants, taking in more Muslims than the U.S. in recent years. It is currently home to more than 20 million Muslims. However, despite their large numbers, these im- migrants are not integrated into European society. They are therefore sus- ceptible to the political Islam that is making Europe its battlefront. As the prominent New York Times journalist Richard Bernstein, who led the Berlin office of that paper for four years, wrote in his farewell col- umn, Europeans believe they live in a Tuscan paradise and hate to see the problems in the "world beyond." 2 Bernstein noted that this European senti- ment can be described as "wealthy, soignde, [and] ecologically correct" and that European opinion leaders believe they are "distant from vexing prob- lems like Muslim immigration."3 Stuck in this mindset, Europeans do not view themselves as confronted with what is perceived to be "Islam" or with its jihadist dimension. The perception that jihadist assaults by al-Qaeda on September 11, 2001 were the result of an unsettled score between the Arabs and the United States was belied by a consistent series of events in Europe ranging from attacks in Madrid on March 11, 2004 to the foiled plot in London in August 2006. What is the underlying story? Dr. Professor Bassam Tibi is a world-renowned political scientist, a professor of internationalrelations at the University of Giittingen, Germany, and the A.D.

    1. Información General. 1.1. Título del Trabajo de Investigación. IMAGINARIO MONTEVIDEO Ideas de ciudad desde el proyecto y el cine http://algortascheps.wix.com/imaginariomontevideo 1.2. Autor/es. Carolina Algorta y Cecilia Scheps 2. Resumen de 200 palabras. La producción audiovisual recoge con particular intensidad y elocuencia miradas y visiones de cada época. Apartándose del análisis de los códigos específicos del arte de la cinematografía vistos en sus propias lógicas, y de la personalidad de sus creadores, a partir del análisis de contenidos (implícitos o explícitos) permite detectar transformaciones y continuidades a lo largo de los procesos históricos de transformación cultural. La relativa juventud del medio, su sensibilidad hacia aspectos teórico-estéticos y -muy en particular- tecnológicos que se van desenvolviendo en paralelo con la invención y desarrollo de sus códigos formales, hace que a lo largo de su relativamente breve tiempo de existencia haya construido -en su conjunto- un registro (históricamente único por su dinámica visual) de las transformaciones del medio cultural. En particular el arte cinematográfico, la elección de locaciones, los objetos que se encuadran y los encuadres mismos, son espejo de los contextos en que se produce. Las decisiones estéticas o narrativas que las determinan incorporan, inevitablemente el contexto que en parte los determina y orienta. Esta mirada refleja implícita o explícitamente un imaginario colectivo que las incorpora y condiciona. Desde la perspectiva arquitectónica es también posible hacer lecturas de estos aspectos. El estudio de la producción audiovisual habilita a realizar aproximaciones a la construcción imaginaria de la arquitectura en la ciudad; lo cual influye sobre el contexto en el que la arquitectura, a su vez, se produce y en cuya transformación actúa.

  • Uruguay Film Commission & Promotion Office
    La presente recopilación busca reflejar la trayectoria de la ficción uruguaya de los últimos veinticinco años, con el objetivo de ampliar las vías de distribución del cine nacional. Hablar de trayectoria es una forma de mostrar que hay una historia, un camino recorrido que revela, en sus huellas, el significativo reconocimiento internacional que concita nuestro cine. El catálogo reúne mediometrajes y largometrajes realizados desde 1985 hasta marzo de 2010. Para la selección se ha considerado mediometraje a la obra de 30’ y largometraje a la que excede los 60 minutos. Como definición de película nacional se tomó la que establece el artículo 10 de la ley 18.284: aquella que se realice total o parcialmente en el territorio de la República Oriental del Uruguay y en la que la mayoría de los técnicos y artistas intervinientes sean residentes en el país o ciudadanos uruguayos. Para las coproducciones se siguió la definición que establece la ley en el mismo artículo: obras cinematográficas y audiovisuales nacionales realizadas total o parcialmente en el territorio de la República en régimen de coproducción con otros países, que empleen personal técnico y artístico que reúna las características antedichas, en un 20% como mínimo. En el caso de los cortometrajes, el relevamiento no fue exhaustivo; se presenta aquí una selección más restringida integrada por aquellas obras que fueron ampliadas a 35 mm. y/o premiadas en festivales internacionales. The present compilation aims to reflect the path of the Uruguayan fiction of the last twenty five years with the objective to broaden the ways of distribution of the national cinema.
