Christmas 2009 feature on VideoChannel According to [Wikipedia] --> "Found footage is a filmmaking term which describes a method of compiling films partly or entirely of footage which has not been created by the filmmaker, and changing its meaning by placing it in a new context. The term refers to the "found object" (objet trouvé) of art history." VideoChannel is looking for some excellent films and videos using "found footage" as a relevant component of the film/video making which are planned to form also the basis for FFF (Found Footage Film) collection. For the online feature in December and later physical screenings, however, is most relevant, that no authors rights are violated by the creator using "found footage".

In addition to the trauma of sexual exploitation, survivors often miss out on school and are exposed to physical injury, sexually transmitted infections, HIV and unwanted pregnancies. The Day My God Died presents the stories of young girls whose lives have been shattered by the child sex trade. In the film, they describe the day they were abducted from their village and sold into sexual servitude. They are victimized by many. Recruiters capture them, smugglers transport them, brothel owners enslave them, corrupt police betray them and customers rape and infect them. Organizations working to help free these girls are sometimes successful and some victims have formed their own underground railway out of slavery. Maili, trafficked at 19 along with her infant daughter, risks her life to help other girls. Jyoti, sold at age12, leads a raid on a brothel resulting in the rescue of seven girls and the arrest of two brothel owners. *Subtitles: English * *November 10 , 7.50 p.m. Walking the Path of Unity Senegal, 2009 Duration -- 30 mins Directors: Marc Dacosse & Eric Dagostino (Brussels)* In Senegal, the movement to end female genital cutting continues to gain momentum. More than 100 villages have publicly abandoned this practice and also repudiated early marriages. In the heart of Senegal's Casamance region, the people of Diégoune and neighbouring villages, publicly declared the abandonment of the practice of female genital cutting. Facilitated by Tostan and the Belgian organization Respect, and shown in partnership with Cinéma Numérique Ambulant, the film highlights the key players in the movement towards the abandonment of FGC. Whether in the rice field, the central village space, or the mosque, the men and women in the film explain with joy and pride their reasons for deciding to abandon practices harmful to the well-being of their children. The dedication and activism of these men and women eventually led to the collective abandonment of FGC and child/forced marriage by the village's entire social network. *Language: Diola Subtitles: English * *November 11 , 6.30 p.m. 21 and Up South Africa: Mandela's Children South Africa, 2007, 69 min Director: Angus Gibson (South Africa)* In South Africa, a quarter of the work force is unemployed, especially among young people under the age of 35, women and African people, where the rate of unemployment has been falling since 2003. The Up Series are documentaries that revisit a group of children from different countries every seven years. In 2007, in post-apartheid South Africa, filmmaker Angus Gibson re-visits 11 young people of various races and backgrounds as they turn 21. The result is an insightful look at the lives of these young people who, faced with varying economic and social realities, must deal with issues such as unemployment, crime, race relations, education and the AIDS epidemic, which has killed three of the original 14 children. *Language: English* *November 11 , 7.45 p.m. Sari's Mother Iraq, 2007, 21 min Director: James Longley (US)* Director James Longley creates an intimate, revealing portrait of life inside war-torn Iraq. In the restive Mahmudiyah area of central Iraq, the Zegum family makes their living by selling milk and butter, farming land rented from their neighbors. Sari, their 10 year-old son, is dying of AIDS. Faten, the boy's mother, does not lose her resolve as she visits doctors and ministers trying to get help from Iraqi's broken healthcare system. *Language: Arabic Subtitles: English* *November 11, 8.10 p.m. The Final Inch India, 2008, 39 min Director: Irene Taylor Brodsky (US)* Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Nigeria are the last four countries where polio remains prevalent. India's high birth rate and dense population presents the greatest challenge in the global drive to end the disease. Nearly 50 years after a vaccine for polio was developed in the United States, the polio virus is largely forgotten in many countries. But polio remains a threat to the world's poorest. In India, The Final Inch follows volunteers as they try to persuade reluctant families that their children's health transcends politics and religion. The film personalizes the global campaign to eradicate polio by capturing the dedication of volunteers as they search for the impoverished and vulnerable children who need the vaccine before it is too late. *Language: English * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is why every second day a new media institute/course is coming into being. These media institutes are promising a sure and lucrative journalistic career and charging heavy fees from students. On the other hand universities and colleges have started teaching media in the name of employment oriented course. The private media institutes aim to prepare an army of media walkers and managers while the government institutions are teaching media to make ideals. Those who study in colleges/universities may be acquainted with theory but lack practical skills, especially the use of new technology; whereas students coming from private institutions are trained to become pawns of market and the corporate world only. The question of social commitment remains far behind in both the situations. While the fact is that when media loses social concern and neglects the issue of social development and transformation, it becomes meaningless. And this kind of 'media' can be management, can be a lucrative profession or anything else but not media. Therefore, This is high time to look at the media scenario, and include all those socially relevant issues which will help the students and media-personals in developing a social approach, so that they could think and work towards a better and just society. It is not always necessary to start with a big capital and heavy paraphernalia in terms of machinery. In fact, many a times it forbids genuine initiatives and creates havoc in the process of learning. Now, several examples have been set all over the world, where a meager technological assistance has boosted the proliferation process of alternative media. The pertinent thing is how open your eyes are, how you see your everyday life and what is your understanding of the space and time, you are a part of. The media programme of SAFAR is constantly searching and exploring opportunities to establish an alternative media, a media which will go beyond the academic barriers and market preconditions. It also intends to do experimental media activities of different kinds, especially low cost media with not only prevalent forms and technologies but also with emerging ones. In order to honor its commitment towards real media, SAFAR in association with SARAI-CSDS is organizing a three day Media Workshop for students, media enthusiasts, development professionals and grass root activists, which is the second in the series. This will include bi-lingual sessions on print, radio, television and web journalism by experts like Khadeeja Arif (correspondent , BBC Radio), Piya Kochhar (radio journalist & media entrepreneur), Prof. Abhay Kumar Dubey (CSDS), Dilip Mandal (economicstimes.com), Rahul Pandita (senior correspondent, Open), Rakesh Kumar Singh (digi-activist & media researcher), Shailesh Bharatwasi (hindyugm.com) and Vineet Kumar (television critic). *Since SAFAR is a self funded initiative, we are charging a meager amount of Rs. 600/- from students, Rs. 900 from development professionals and Rs. 1200 from corporate professionals, which will include registration & course fee, lunch, tea and stationeries. * Outstation participants should manage their stay on their own. Participants will be given certificates. *Last date of registration is November 20th 2009*. No requests will be entertained after that.

Optimized for Firefox 3.xx, Safari 4, Google Chrome 3, and Internet Explorer 8] "One Text, Many Stories" is an exploration of reading, and of how the visual context and process of reading influences interpretation. An original text composed of nine short passages describes an urban space reconstituted in memory, and is interspersed with short extracts from Michael de Certeau's "The Practice of Everyday Life" and "The Production of Space" by Henri Lefebre. Taken together, the passages are a construction of 'the city' as a fluid mental map of elements that are shuffled and rearranged. Inspired by the css Zen Garden (http://www.csszengarden.com/) use of CSS to separate structure and appearance, each page redisplays and reconfigures the primary text. Through this alteration, the text undergoes shifts in meaning and narrative arc. BIOGRAPHY Annette Weintraub is a media artist whose projects embed layered narratives within a variety of architectural constructs. Her work is an investigation of architecture as visual language, and focuses on the dynamics of urban space, the intrusion of media into public space and the symbolism of space. She creates projects that integrate elements of narrative, film and architecture within a conceptual representation of space. She is now working with hybrid constructs of 2D and 3D in order to explore modes of spatial representation and the subjective experience of physical space. Weintraub's projects have been shown at venues that include: The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center; The International Art Biennial-Buenos Aires; 5th Salon de Arte in Cuba; File in Brazil; Video Biennal Israel; The 5th Biennial of Media and Architecture in Graz Austria; The Whitney Biennial; The International Center for Photography/ICP; The First Chiang Mai New Media Art Festival; The International Film Festival Rotterdam; Thirteen/WNET TV's Reel New York.Web; Viper in Switzerland; at SIGGRAPH and ISEA and numerous other national and international exhibitions. Commissions include The Rushlikon Centre for Global Dialogue, CEPA and Turbulence. She is Professor of Art and Chair of the Art Department at The City College of New York, CUNY.
