Extractions: "The Fourth Dimension" is an elegant meditation on time, travel, and ceremony in the form of a journey. In her first foray into digital video, Minh-ha deconstructs the role of ritual in mediating between the past and the present. She explains, "Shown in their widespread functions and manifestations, including more evident loci such as festivals, religious rite and theatrical performance, 'rituals' involve not only the regularity in the structure of everyday life, but also the dynamic agents in the world of meaning." With its lush imagery, Minh-ha's Japan is viewed through mobile frames, with doors and windows sliding shut, revealing new vistas as it blocks out the old light.

Soon after it was established in 1932 it witnessed the rise of fascism. And as one of the regime's tools for promoting Italian culture, through the war years festival screenings were exclusive to Italian and German films. Its grand prix was even christened the Mussolini Award. From 1943 to 1946 the festival was discontinued, and when it reemerged its return was incorporated into the nation-wide celebration of the end of fascism. This year Venice coincides with the memory of 11 September and a remarkable Special Event screening marked the occasion. Directed by 11 filmmakers from around the world, 11 September is a rich and varied offering that generated debate even prior to being screened. Consisting of 11 mini features of 11 minutes and 9 seconds' duration each by Samira Makhmalbaf (Iran), Claude Lelouch (France), Youssef Chahine (Egypt), Danis Tanovic (Bosnia), Idrissa Ouedraogo (Burkino Faso), Ken Loach (Britain), Alejandero Gonzalez Inarritu (Mexico), Amos Gitai (Israel), Mira Nair (India), Sean Penn (USA), Sohei Imamura (Japan), respectively the film services various and often glaringly contradictory viewpoints ranging from mournful recall of the World Trade Center explosions to sympathy with those crushed by the American military machine. While not constituting a significant development for the filmmakers involved indeed at times they seem to be treading well worn territory the films reflect political perspectives in the process of translating cinematically.

Extractions: In societies close to nature the respect for and solidarity with natural materials can be sensed in the care with which object are made. Apart from their practical function, all objects have symbolic meanings in form and decoration. The specific aspect in the relation of earth - man - cosmos is made visible in symbols and experienced in rituals. In a relatively short time the traditional man - nature relation was extended with the phenomenon of culture, the ability of reasoning formally. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century artists and scientific researchers in particular were fascinated by this bond with nature. They let themselves be inspired by the power of expression of buildings and objects of 'exotic' cultures and primitive ( literally original) peoples. The accessibility for and interest in early civilizations only increased also by means of television documentaries, exhibitions and tourism. In the arts as well authentic traditions are still a source of inspiration, whether it concerns music, dance or visual arts.
Sacred Ritual And Spiritual Partnership In burkino faso, the small village in West Africa where she comes from, they havea traditions to the West so that a healing could take place in our culture. http://www.newconnexion.net/article/09-99/sacred.html
Extractions: Posted: September, 1999 Sacred Ritual and Spiritual Partnership Sobonfu Somé's name means The Keeper of Ritual. Her life's work was set out for her before she was born. In Burkino Faso, the small village in West Africa where she comes from, they have a hearing ritual where the elders put a pregnant woman into trance and ask the baby questions such as "Who are you?" The baby announces what her purpose is through the mother's voice and the elders choose her name to reflect this. "We believe that everyone has a purpose, a gift to offer the world," she says. In this culture most people tend to live unbalanced lives which are crammed with things to do and deadlines. They have no time to connect with the soul space within themselves, so they search for a guru of some form to take care of their spiritual needs This is why we must bring ritual, stories and myths back into our lives so that we can find that sacred space. But it isn't enough to do this mindlessly, we need to live aspects of the story. We solve problems only when we notice what we are feeling when we hear certain things. When we do not take this to our hearts and take responsibility, we give away our power, either to a relationship, a guru, or some kind of pursuit."

Extractions: On July 14th, our team of ten students and adults from North Ridge Alliance Church took the largest of many steps on our journey to Burkina-Faso in West Africa. Approximately six months earlier, the call became clear that God had plans for the ministry in Burkina-Faso, and He had plans for us to be involved. Our journey began there, and though no one stepped onto a plane until a rainy morning in mid-July, it was clear the mission had already begun. In September of 1998, I was privileged to spend some time with my good friend and colleague, Peter Brokopp, just hours before he was to finally depart for West Africa on his assignment for language study. He was to study in Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso before his ultimate destination in Congo-Brazzaville. In those few moments, mention was made of our desire at North Ridge to take some students overseas for a summer missions trip. It was a frustrating issue up to that point, however, because we were confident the experience needed to be more than the construction of a building or execution of a program. We had several potential mission candidates willing to go, and we desired a genuine, authentic-as-possible introduction to the real work of the mission field. Pete said that he would love to bring a team out someday, especially once he was finished with his language studies in Ouagadougou. Four months went by with time ticking away and a great deal of prayer and concern. It was now December and we really didn't know what to do about this mission trip. By now we should have already presented the trip to our church family and begun monthly fundraisers at least, I thought. After all kinds of research, quite a few dead ends, and many anxious questions of students, little seemed to pan out. But there was always the possibility of Burkina-Faso. It was so far away, though, and we were sure it would be way too much money.

African-American Artists Captured In 'Conjure Women' Traditions, conflict and comedy in Kenya, burkino faso, Haiti and the United States ofAfrican tradition creating and reinventing a sense of self and culture. http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/4587/artcas29.html
Extractions: African-American Artists Captured In 'Conjure Women' Traditions, conflict and comedy in Kenya, Burkino Faso, Haiti and the United States and a country in turmoil are explored when the Mill Valley Film Festival unspools October 5-15 at the Sequoia Twin Theatres and Masonic Hall in Mill Valley, and the Lark Theatre in Larkspur. Demetria Royals ("Mama's Pushcart," MVFF 1988; "Inventing Herself," MVFF 1993) captures the wisdom of four exceptional African American artists in the world premiere of "Conjure Women." Portraits of choreographer/dancer Anita Gonzalez, performance artist Robbie McCauley, photographer Carrie Mae Weems, and jazz vocalist/composer Cassandra Wilson are vividly brought to life filmmaker Royals, not only through their dynamic work but also as wise women of African tradition creating and reinventing a sense of self and culture. Ms. Royals is expected to attend the festival. Tradition and modernity collide in Dany Kouyate's "Keita," a co-production of France and Burkina Faso. Filmmaker Kouyate gives us a rich tale of thirteenth century legends seen through the eyes of today's youth, when a griot - a traditional wise man - comes to pass along ancestral stories to a young boy, much to the chagrin of his parent. Mr. Kouyate will attend the festival. From Kenya rages "The Battle of the Sacred Tree," a comedy of errors based on a short story by Barbara Kimenye. Director Wanjiru Kinyanjui creates an inspired tale of an ideological tug-of-war between the practitioners of an indigenous religion and the local Christian Women's Group over the town's sacred fig tree.

The British/French/American revolution in film study and theory was initiated in English largely by Screen magazine in the early 1970s. It proceeded to sweep the academic world of cinema over the next two decades. The project was to construct a social, political and aesthetic theory specific to the study of cinema and popular culture. Althusserian marxism, Lacanian psychoanalysis, post-structuralism, semiotics, and feminist theory were all brought to bear on the work which sought to define new terminology and new methodologies for the study of cinema. This course will emphasize the seminal theories and theoreticians of that movement, as well as some second-stage developments from that work. Topics include realism, the progressive text, classic Hollywood narrative, the apparatus, representation and spectatorship, psychoanalysis, post-colonial theory, queer theory and extra-textual approaches.

Extractions: November, 2002 Subtitled "Aesthetics of Diversity," the gathering was the final part of a trilogy of meetings over several years, covering the past, the present and now the future. One could hear Russian, Hebrew, Turkish, Lithuanian, French, Spanish, Chinese, German and other tongues in between the keynote talks, the networking groups and the dozens of dance performances. Defining aesthetics was not really a problem since there was agreement that the attributes of beauty can be diverse. John Ashford of the Robin Howard Theatre in London proposed four different components of diversity: the increased ability, through globalization, to read diverse forms; the technical ability of the performers; sex and sexuality, which he feels is seeing less and less diversity; and cultural heritage. To him, the polarity of diversity is integration. Repeatedly the issue of tradition versus contemporary process was raised and the importance of fluidity stressed. The problem of young choreographers operating in a country where there is a strong dance tradition is widespread. Another issue raised was whether the role of the artist in the community includes a moral duty to humanity.
