			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<p>Mario Van Peebles is one of the few consistantly working African American directors who actually makes films that remind us of where the African American people came from and what contributions they made to American society and history.  NEW JACK CITY, POSSE, PANTHER &#8211; they all had a tough story to tell about the African American experience in America.  Some of them made for great film going experiences (NEW JACK CITY, PANTHER) and others didn’t (POSSE) but all strived for an honesty not present in the films of Van Peebles&#8217; other contemporary in the media spotlight Spike Lee.</p>
<p>BAADASSSSS! is no different and it marks his most personal and best film to date.  The story concerns the trials and tribulations of his father Melvin as he faught to make his ground breaking film SWEAT SWEATBACK’S BAADASSSSS SONG, which ushered in the Blacplotation film movement.</p>
<p>Van Peebles does not hold back.  He shows both the creative genius of his father as well as the stuborn egomaniac that some would thing abused his children.  Van Peebles was bold to play his own father as was his father who placed the title character in the landmark film but like the film so boldly states “he is the only man who can bring this story to light because he lived it” (or thereabouts).</p>
<p>Having made NEW JACK CITY and PANTHER Van Peebles is no stranger to controversial subject matter and BAADASSSSS! pushes the buttons even further but also shows a man trying to break down the walls that the Hollywood Studio system wanted to wall him behind.  Melvin was a man who wanted to show the world the “real” experience of the African American and other minorities in this country in a system that only wanted to see African Americans portrayed as comic foils for the main “white” characters of the film.</p>
<p>He even went out of his way to have a minority crew (that would learn by doing) and put his own money into the film, as well as use non-union labor &#8211; all which would have been unthinkable at the time.</p>
<p>The truly scary revelation of this film is how true it was then and how true it still is today as the Hollywood “machine” still underhires minorities and still wants the standard “comedy” from many directors/actors/producers of those minorities.  In this, Van Peebles is still fighting the same fight his father faught almost forty years earlier.  There have been some advances to corect this but forty years is a long time to still be doing “baby steps.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<p>When it come to film making there are endless choices available, but one among them stands above all the rest &#8211; the Los Angeles Film School.</p>
<p>Here you learn the art of filmmaking on the very practical front that is actually making your own films.  Es, in the first week itself you are taught on handling a camera.  By graduations, that is with in an year&#8217;s span, you would have made several films all by yourself.</p>
<p>If that’s not a reason justified enough for you to believe that the Los Angeles Film School is the ace, here are some more concrete reasons:</p>
<p>1. The campus of the Los Angeles Film School is located right in the heart of the films&#8217; capital Hollywood.</p>
<p>2. The school&#8217;s location boasts of the corner of Vine &amp; Sunset, just a few steps away from Kodak Theater and Hollywood Walk of Fame.  It is surrounded by all major motion picture studios &amp; the film industry business houses.  Everything you dreamt of would be within a walking distance.</p>
<p>3. The faculty here comprise of known Hollywood professionals, those who have big films to their credits like The Matrix, Spider Man, and Blade Runner.</p>
<p>4. Their experience and practical knowledge would guide you trough a journey towards becoming an ace film maker.</p>
<p>5. The school is determined to train you all the required aspects of film making that is from A to Z.  Such as producing, directing, cinematography, screenwriting, production design, etc.</p>
<p>6. The curriculum of the school is certainly the best with all latest technological film production.  It is this state-of-the-art curriculum that makes them distinctly ahead, hence making it the best ground to begin a successful film production career.</p>
<p>7. LA Film School goes ahead with a mission – that is to create the next generation of filmmakers for the industry – those who are self-confident in their abilities, excellent in facing all sorts of competitions, and passionate for making movies.</p>
<p>8. The small sizes of the classes allow very close and interactive learning in an unbeatable hands-on environment.</p>
<p>9. LA Film School&#8217;s faculty is that of extremely professional film makers who are unquestionably devoted towards the art and are hence, truly loyal for teaching the craft.</p>
<p>10. The state-of-the-art facilities at the school make learning more easy and fun.</p>
<p>11. The students would have all the rights to the films they make during the span of the course.</p>
<p>12. The cost as per the facilities is quite reasonable for this sort of education.</p>
<p>13. No film school ever guarantees a permanent job after graduation.  Yet, here you have the advantage of knowing your instructors who formulate the film industry of Hollywood in real sense.  They would give you some instructions as to knowing the best ways to get that dream break in film making.</p>
<p>14. Your instructors would do their level best to help you succeed in developing a great film making career by teaching you anything and everything you would need to know in film making.</p>
<p>15. They would also teach you the ways and means to approach the major production agencies.</p>
<p>16. The films that you make during the course, formulate an excellent portfolio that would help you in your professional journey ahead.</p></div>

<p>Cinema Paradiso (Paradise Cinema in English) &#8211; 4 Stars (Excellent)</p>
<p>In my search for films that are not well known but tell a great story with an excellent presentation, I discovered &#8220;Cinema Paradiso&#8221; by Italian Director Giuseppe Tornatore.</p>
<p>Tornatore intended the film to be an obituary for traditional movie theaters (like Paradise Cinema) and the movie industry in general, but after the film&#8217;s critical acclaim and box-office success, he changed his mind and apparently never publicly mentioned the demise of films again.</p>
<p>Many critics credit Cinema Paradiso with reviving Italy&#8217;s movie industry, which would later produce &#8220;Mediterraneo&#8221; and &#8220;Life is Beautiful&#8221;. Tornatore deserves even more credit than his directing effort; he also wrote the story and screenplay with some collaboration from Vanna Paoli.</p>
<p>Giuseppe Tornatore joins a very select group of writer/directors who have been able to create great films in a dual role. Most writer/directors fail miserably in their effort. I would elevate Tornatore to the same level as Tim McCanlies in &#8220;Secondhand Lions&#8221; and Kirk Jones in &#8220;Waking Ned Devine&#8221;, both excellent pictures. It takes a lot more than gumption to create an excellent film, it also takes enormous talent, heart, sensitivity and maturity.</p>
<p>So just how successful was Cinema Paradiso? Among its 19 wins and 12 nominations for excellence was the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards, Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globes, and Grand Prize of the Jury at the Cannes Film Festival.</p>
<p>Cinema Paradiso will capture your heart when you see 6-year-old Salvatore &#8220;Toto&#8221; Di Vita (played by Salvatore Cascio) become captivated by the local cinema in his small, native Sicilian Village. He misses his father, who becomes a World War II victim, and through guile and a high interest level, convinces the cinema projectionist Alfredo (Philippe Noiret) to mentor him.</p>
<p>There are three &#8220;Totos&#8221; in the filmthe younger (Salvatore Cascio), the teenager (Marco Leonardi) and the adult (Jacques Perrin). Perrin is a real-life film producer. Cascio steals every scene he is in with his incredible facial expressions, inquisitive mind and indomitable determination to learn how to be a projectionist.</p>
<p>Along the way, he gets into a lot of trouble. He loses his mother&#8217;s trust by spending money he is given to buy bread for the family on an admission fee to see a film at the theater. He cons Alfredo the projectionist into giving him some film that causes a fire in his home and threatens his sister&#8217;s life. He causes Alfredo to break his promise to Toto&#8217;s mother that he will no longer let Toto into the projectionist&#8217;s booth.</p>
<p>Ultimately, the flammable film also causes a fire and destroys the Cinema Paradiso and, in a harrowing act, Toto saves Alfredo&#8217;s life but Alfredo loses his sight in the disaster. After the Paradiso is rebuilt as the Nuovo Cinema Paradiso (New Paradise Cinema), Toto, who has learned to be a projectionist, is hired as a child to do so because he is the only one in the village who knows how.</p>
<p>The bond between Alfredo as a surrogate father to Toto will only grow deeper when Toto enters his teenage years. He will seek out Alfredo for advice on life when he falls in love with the beautiful Elena (Agnese Nano), who comes from a rich family and enters into a forbidden relationship with Toto.</p>
<p>Alfredo will encourage Toto to leave his village for Rome and never return if he is serious about a career in the movie industry. Toto will eventually grow up to become a famous movie producer in Rome.</p>
<p>Cinema Paradiso starts when Toto learns that his beloved Alfredo has died. Toto has not been back to his village and to visit his mother and sister in 30 years. The question is: Will he return for the funeral? After reliving his life in flashbacks during a sleepless night, he boards a plane home to find himself again. The total story is too good to reveal much more here.</p>
<p>Cinema Paradiso is all about relationships. The relationship of a mother to her son, of a surrogate father to a son, of a boy to a girl, of a young romance, of a village&#8217;s citizens to its theater, and of intergenerational gatherings among the villagers.</p>
<p>The release of Cinema Paradiso in 1988 proves the adage that if success was easy every film would achieve critical acclaim and would be a box-office smash. The original version released in Italy was 155 minutes (2 hours, 35 minutes) and had a poor response. After shortening the film to 123 minutes (2 hours, 3 minutes), it became an instant success.</p>
<p>I saw the 123-minute version that was released in the United States and was disappointed that there was no indication of what ultimately happened in Toto&#8217;s relationship with Elena. I have since learned that Director Giuseppe Tornatore released a 173-minute version (2 hours, 53 minutes) in 2002 that contains exactly what I wanted to see. Find and watch the longer version if you can, it just adds to an already excellent film.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="KonaBody">
<p>In the last two weeks in October, I have been on a magical world tour that included the US, France, Italy, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan and India, to mention a few. But as all these countries came to me in London, I only had to travel to London. Before you all wonder if I have gone crazy, let me tell you that the Times BFI 51st London Film Festival made it possible! There were around 184 feature films and 133 short films from 43 countries, shown at various venues in London. The Festival Started on 17 October, with the opening night gala showing David Cronenberg&#8217;s &#8216;Eastern Promises&#8217; and finished on 1 November, with the closing night gala showing Wes Anderson&#8217;s &#8216;The Darjeeling Limited&#8217;, a train voyage across India. Few films from the festival are reviewed below and I hope you enjoy the tour as much as I did.</p>
<p>The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: Julian Schnabel/France.</p>
<p>What does one say after witnessing such brilliance! Perhaps, &#8216;Thank God for the London Film Festival&#8217;, without which I could not have seen this most wonderful French film! Brilliance in performance, acting, photography and technical details were evident through the film, making it totally gripping to the very end. The directorial skill was at its best in the restrain showed at the most crucial moments. The film is based on a true story. J D Bauby, the editor of French Vogue suffered a stroke and the film starts as he comes out of a coma after 20 days. He was diagnosed with a rare &#8216;locked in syndrome&#8217;, which left him with his memory and only the movement of his left eye! With the help of the speech therapist, through the alphabet of blinking, he tells his story which became a best seller.</p>
<p>The alphabet of blinking and the explanation about moving the tongue on the roof of the mouth to improve the movement and swallowing clearly show extensive research, which I am sure would be quite helpful for families in similar situations. It also shows that a stroke can affect anyone, even the most charismatic 43 year old Editor in chief of Vogue. J D Bauby&#8217;s flamboyant lifestyle is shown through the film as flash back just to remind the audience what JD Bauby was like before he was committed to the wheelchair. His relationship with his father was most touching! He still had his imagination and memory and his wonderful sense of humour was shown through his thoughts, by a voice over by Mathieu Amalric who stars as Bauby. A great film not to be missed</p>
<p>In Memory of Me:Saverio Costanzo/ Italy</p>
<p>As the film is set in Venice One expects to see at least a bit of this beautiful city. But that was not to be! The camera has eyes for the outside world only when a large ship slips by the window of the seminary. &#8216;In Memory of me&#8217; is a very intense film that goes into the inner depth of spirituality and the conflicts encountered. The story is about Andrea who is accepted into a Jesuit seminary, isolated in an island. The recruits undergo very strict training to prepare them for the disciplined work that awaits these soldiers of Christ. The rituals are repeated in a methodical fashion everyday and that includes cleaning of the corridors of that magnificent monastic building.</p>
<p>The inmates&#8217; personality is analyzed to such an extent that they start to doubt their own spirituality and whether such mental cruelty is justified. The silence that lingers in the magnificent corridors is mesmerizing, to say the least. We have heard of severe Mother Superiors, but the Father Superior in this film is frightening. Some find this fearsome training unbearable and decide to leave. Andrea too reaches his turning point, but finally realizes that he is made for better things and God has a purpose for him and decides to follow Him. This film is a lesson in itself in how one gives himself to God, and then loose that faith and ultimately regaining the love of God and the faith. A very intense film that makes one think.</p>
<p>Secret Sunshine: Lee Chang-Dong/South Korea</p>
<p>This film tells the story of a woman who moves to her husband&#8217;s hometown after he was killed in an accident. Her agony, mental torture, spiritual conflicts and social interactions are portrayed quite well and the actress, Jean Do-Yeon, who plays Lee shin-ae has given a brilliant performance. But somehow, director looses his plot towards the end when he deals with religion and its conflicts and how it affects Lee shin-ae.</p>
<p>The World Unseen: Shamim Sarif /UK-South Africa</p>
<p>Written and directed by Shamim Sarif, &#8216;The World Unseen&#8217; tells the story of two women in South Africa and the turmoil in their society in the 50s. Miriam (Lisa Ray), a submissive woman who lives with her husband in an isolated village, meets Amina (Sheetal Seth), who is the opposite of Miriam. Amina is quite unconventional and a free spirit who runs a coffee shop in partnership with Jacob. Jacob is black and Shamim has succeeded in showing the problems they encounter in an apartheid South Africa. Miriam meets Amina in the coffee shop and they couldn&#8217;t ignore the strong attraction they both felt. Amina was everything Miriam wanted to be, strong willed and independent. Amina volunteered to give driving lessons to Miriam and their suppressed feelings take over. Director has shown great restrain in showing the relationship, but without loosing any of the intensity. They face hostility from the police and Amina&#8217;s husband. Amidst all this there is inner conflict and Miriam&#8217;s realization that she cannot return to her controlling husband, but decides to do what&#8217;s practical. Sheethal&#8217;s performance is the backbone of this film that reflects the director&#8217;s skill in getting the best out of the actor. Shamim Sarif&#8217;s debut attempt shows great promise. A film to watch!</p></div>

<p>The love of films becomes a celebration in London for two weeks during &#8216;The Times BFI 51st London Film Festival&#8217;. The capital city is buzzing with people who love films and filmmakers from all over the world. This festival gives a chance to view films, documentaries and provide opportunity to meet filmmakers and celebrity artists. It also promotes world films that may not be available for screening in the cinemas across the nation. The festival is an important venue for development and promotion of films from UK and abroad and it showed around 184 feature films and 133 short films from 43 countries, at various venues in London. The Festival Started with the opening night gala showing David Cronenberg&#8217;s &#8216;Eastern Promises&#8217; and finished with the closing night gala showing Wes Anderson&#8217;s &#8216;The Darjeeling Limited&#8217;, a train voyage across India. Few films from the festival are reviewed below.</p>
<p>Closing The Ring: Richard Attenborough/ UK-Canada</p>
<p>Richard Attenborough has done it again. &#8216;Closing the ring&#8217; is one of the most beautiful films I have seen in a long time. This film is about the value of love and the loss of it, inability to grieve, loyalty among friends and above all, the heartache and suffering brought on by war. Shirley MacLain and Christopher Plummer have excelled in their performance. Christopher Plummer showed his adoring fans that he could still win hearts, just as he did all those years ago as the handsome captain in &#8216;Sound of Music&#8217;! &#8216;Jimmy&#8217; (Martin Mac Cann) was a delight to watch along with Pete Postlethwaite. Richard Attenborough shows us that there is no shame in falling love and keep it live, no matter what your age is. &#8216;A film that touches your heart and tells you something&#8217;, that&#8217;s what &#8216;Closing the Ring&#8217; does and therefore, an example of good cinema truly at its best. Question &amp; Answer time with Lord Attenborough after the screening was sheer delight.</p>
<p>The Darjeeling Limited: Wes Anderson/USA</p>
<p>A light hearted film that tells the story of three brothers who haven&#8217;t seen each other for a year going on a train journey through the deserts of India. They are trying to bond with each other and with the beautiful but unknown conditions in India. Wes Anderson&#8217;s film brings comedy, conflict among siblings and some hilarious moments. These brothers who love each other don&#8217;t like each other very much and their odd behaviour comes as no surprise once you meet their mother (Angelica Houston), who gives a great performance along with Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson. A good laugh and a film you don&#8217;t want to miss.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m Not There: Todd Haynes/USA</p>
<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m not There&#8217; means just that! It&#8217;s a biographical journey into Bob Dylan&#8217;s life, portrayed by six actors, but Bob Dylan, as the title says, is not there! If you think an 11-year-old black boy, Marcus Carl Franklin, who is splendid as Bob Dylan is odd, the worse is yet to come; but that&#8217;s surely the best, Dylan played by a woman! Cate Blanchett in black and white turns up as Bob Dylan and you don&#8217;t for a moment suspect that it&#8217;s a woman. She is just magnificent and puts the other &#8216;Bobs&#8217; in the shade. It&#8217;s confusing and chaotic if you are not a Dylan fan, but entertaining till the closing credits. The music however is real stuff and as the closing credits roll in, songs like the original &#8216;Knock knock knock&#8217;n on heaven&#8217;s door&#8217; keeps you on your seat.</p>
<p>The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford: Andrew Domonik /USA</p>
<p>Definitely &#8216;a Brad Pitt film&#8217; and everyone else fades away in the background. The film is based on the legend of Jesse James, &#8216;the gentleman outlaw&#8217; who became an American icon. Brad Pitt has shown his acting ability yet again, only more so this time. He has graduated in the &#8216;Jack Nicholson School of acting&#8217;! A film worth watching and the cinematography is at its best. Perhaps the film would have been even better, if it did not stretch that long after the assassination of Jesse James; great film, in spite of this and not to be missed.</p>
<p>In Memory of Me: Saverio Costanzo/ Italy</p>
<p>As the film is set in Venice one expects to see at least a bit of this beautiful city; but that was not to be. The camera has eyes for the outside world only when a large ship slips by the window of the seminary. &#8216;In Memory of me&#8217; is a very intense film that goes into the inner depth of spirituality and the conflicts encountered. The story is about Andrea who is accepted into a Jesuit seminary, isolated in an island. The recruits undergo very strict training to prepare them for the disciplined work that awaits these soldiers of Christ. The rituals are repeated in a methodical fashion everyday and that includes cleaning of the corridors of that magnificent monastic building. The inmates&#8217; personality is analyzed to such an extent that they start to doubt their own spirituality and whether such mental cruelty is justified.</p>
<p>The silence that lingers in the magnificent corridors is mesmerizing, to say the least! We have heard of severe Mother Superiors, but the Father Superior in this film is frightening. Some find this fearsome training unbearable and decide to leave. Andrea too reaches his turning point, but finally realizes that he is made for better things and God has a purpose for him and decides to follow Him. This film is a lesson in itself in how one gives himself to God, then loose that faith and ultimately regaining the love of God and the faith. An intense film that makes one think.</p>
<p>Things We Lost in the Fire: Susanne Bier/USA</p>
<p>It tells the story of Audrey (Halle Berry), her loss and how she tries to rebuild her life after loosing the love of her life in a tragic accident. Her envious life with her husband &#8216;Brian&#8217; and the two beautiful children are shown as flashback. Audrey decides to seek help from her husband&#8217;s childhood friend, Jerry (Benicio Del Toro), who is a drug addict and quite dangerous at times. Though she did not like him to be her husband&#8217;s friend in the past, she felt drawn to him now as they both had one thing in common- the love they both shared for Brian. She asks Jerry to move into the converted garage that was refurnished following a fire at the house and Audrey and the children form a bond with him. Anyone would wish to have somebody like Jerry in a situation like this, but not a drug addict though! Complications set in and the emotional turmoil in dealing with the sense of loss, drug addiction, rehabilitation and the society&#8217;s role in all this are portrayed very well.</p>
<p>Halle Berry has given a magnificent performance. Benicio Del Toro was dazzling and he has given his best ever. It was a delight to see Halle Berry at the screening, looking gorgeous in a brilliant blue backless gown! Susanne Bier (Director) and Halle Berry answered questions from the audience after the film: a beautiful film not to be missed.</p>
<p>Richard Attenborough, Wes Anderson, Susanne Bier, Saverio Constanzo, Andrew Dominik, Shivajee Chandrabhushan, Shamim Sarif, Amitab Bachan, Robert Redford, Tom Cruise, Halle Berry and Adrien Brody were among the celebrities who attended the screening of their films. It was truly a festival of films, films that touched the audience and made them think. The two weeks of the festival was a stage for meeting the best filmmakers from all over the world, listen to them and see films of extreme diversity.</p></div>
