“Just a Moment : project dealing with prevention of young suicide” will be guest of AFF2014

 
filorosso (1)
  • THE PROJECT.
  • Just a moment before is the project for a feature film dealing with the prevention of young suicide and the awareness of this topic by noticing its premonitory signs. It’s a film project with social and educational implications.

    Cinema can be a good means to make aware many people of the importance ofpaying attention on the others, and on those premonitory signs that precede young suicide. Actually, recent reports about devastating episodes of cyberbullingtell us that this phenomenon must be faced quickly and decisively.

  • THE FILM.
  • The essence of this film is the absent presence of suicide: in other words, our message is always positive making the most of life rather than thinking to its disappearance. In the meantime, we would like to make aware the audience about ethical and moral implications of this topic: about the relationship between young people and their families, about their feelings at work or during their daily life. It’s very simple: thinking about ourselves, to act just a moment before.

    The project is about an international co-production that will start in Switzerland, because we have the Pro Juventute Switzerland Foundation’s support: this is very useful for us, to share information about the topic and to identify the main experts.

    It’s time to do something: join the project, join the life!

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 15,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 6 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Filmmakers opinion requested. Poll about broadcasting the Ascona Film Festival short films selection.

We are thinking about broadcasting the Ascona Film Festival short films selection.

We can use bambuser-logo for a live broadcast of your films. It’s gonna be on streaming and no download possible (except for hackers, but…).

We think it’s a good opportunity for reaching a wide public and make a lot of visibility of your productions.

This is a first open poll and if we get a positive feedback we will ask permission to all the selected filmmakers to make the broadcast.

In any case we will not public publish your work without your permission, don’t worry.  We care about filmmakers and act accordingly.

    Why The Locarno Film Festival, With A New Boss, Maintains A Unique Presence In the Industry

    Over the past four years, the Locarno Film Festival rapidly increased its global profile in the film festival world for good reason: The program, organized by former Cannes Directors Fortnight head Olivier Pére, appealed to distinct cinephile tastes even while courting an active European marketplace. A number of world premieres at the Swiss gathering, which has taken place in August every year since 1946, eventually screened at bigger fall festivals like Toronto, but at Locarno they were allowed to stand tall: Last year, for instance, the avant garde fishing documentary “Leviathan” was one of the biggest stars in town, even as the festival’s massive outdoor Piazza Grande section screened the likes of “Magic Mike” nearby. The festival managed a very rare mix of highbrow sensibilities and star power, a combination epitomized by the youngish Pére’s charisma and exceptional knowledge of movies.
