Film Festival: Cinema in the animal house
Jerusalem Post – May 29, 2008
Mine was a history professor from my undergraduate days. He was witty smart and always had great observations on life. And during the 2005 professors’ strike he urged us not to waste our time as students as it wass the best and perhaps last time when we could completely and honestly fight for our beliefs. “Don’t give excuses about lack of time.
Cannes Journal As Star Power Leaves Residents Start Recovery
New York Times – May 29, 2008
The posters were winched down the covered beach restaurants dismantled the out-of-town limousines driven away in black convoys of Audis and Mercedeses. The employees of Cannes’s most famous hotels staggered to get the last large suitcases into the last massive cars and the festival souvenir shop was closing its temporary staff members like Lili Brun 22 a student from Paris here for the wages desperate to finish and flee. The staff of the décor department of the Palais des Festivals et des Congreès was pulling up the famous red carpet — 2153 square feet of thin synthetic stuff — to change it for a last time. And slowly with “les stars” and their entourages now gone the Cannois began to re-emerge on the streets of their own city blinking a little as if seeing the place for the first time. Monday is the “Day of the Cannois” and as a gesture to the residents who rarely venture out during the festival unless they work in service industries the Palais shows the prize-winning film on Monday to all who can prove with their electricity bill that they live here. By Tuesday the judgments were in. There was pride that a French film had won the Palme d’r for the first time in 21 years.

If you want to see where dance is headed start here. But research also involves looking back: diving into the unknown is difficult if you don’t know where you’ve been. n Tuesday before taking any plunges Movement Research peered into contemporary dance’s murky past into a time as distant and mythical as Arthur’s legendary kingdom: the 1980s and ’90s. That’s not entirely flippant.

–>Although I’d never deny that the opportunity to taste wines from more than 200 wineries from around the world is the No. 1 reason to attend the Pittsburgh Wine Festival I’d say that getting to meet the people associated with making or marketing those wines has to be a close second. Their stories add a lot of body to their wines. The Wolfs of Eagle EyePeople were flocking to the Eagle Eye booth at Heinz Field on May 8 not only to taste the rich cabernet but also to admire the turn-of-the-century photographs on display there. Bill Wolf — who with his wife Roxanne owns Eagle Eye Winery — has Pittsburgh roots and some of them happen to be in the wine-and-beer trade. His great-grandfather came from Germany to the United States in the mid-nineteenth century and opened a bakery in Blair (now Clairton) Pa… While waiting for those vines to mature the Wolfs bought grapes from other Napa growers and released their first wine in ctober 2004. They still augment their own production with purchased fruit. Their Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon which was showcased at the festival quickly sold out that night at the PLCB on-site store. The winery produces 5000 cases annually with a plan to gradually grow to 10000 cases. Roxanne Wolf is the creator of the whimsical painting on the Eagle Eye label. There is a twinkle in eagle’s eye which is mirrored in the eyes of the winery owners. It looks to me like the sparkle that comes from utter contentment and a passion for one’s work.
