DREAMS OF DALI: VR VIDEO




Click on the arrows to get the full 360 degree experience.
I felt as impressed as everyone else did when I saw my first 360-degree video, the technology that allows viewers to “look” in any direction they wish. But most of the 360-degree videos that became popular early simply demonstrated the concept, and as much astonishment as the experience of the concept alone can generate, even more excitement came from thinking about the technology’s potential. It hasn’t taken long for 360-degree videos to look beyond virtual reality — indeed, to look all the way to virtual surreality, as envisioned by perhaps the best-known surrealist of them all, Salvador Dalí.

APRIL 15 IS INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY. REMEMBERING THE MARTYRS AND THE HEROES OF THE HOLOCAUST.

Part 1: The Sonderkommando revolt

By Dimitri Vorris

...One action will stand out alongside the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and that is the Revolt of the Sonderkommando in Auschwitz-Birkenau on October 7, 1944. This was an uprising in which Sephardi and Greeks Jews both helped plan and execute and left a memorable list of heroes and martyrs to posterity. Their victory was dual: it was a psychological victory over the Nazis who now feared the Jews in the camps and hastened their declining confidence in winning or even surviving the war and secondly, they died as free men in the tradition of Greek noble death, an outcome that has become part of western tradition, namely to fight against all odds until the very end and deny the enemy the opportunity to loot and gloat.
Feature film project "Sonderkommando", depicts one of the most heroic pages of humankind history.  The world forgets not only that Sephardic Jewry suffered during the Holocaust too, but that Jews were brave enough to revolt and fight under the most hopeless circumstances. These historical events have striking similarities with Leonidas and the 300 Spartans fighting the Battle at Thermopylae. The major difference is that, in this film, you don’t have an elite army fighting an Empire, but imprisoned, entrapped, everyday people in a death camp. They are hungry, tortured, abused, sick, ailing, armed only with an ingenious plot and self-made guns and explosives. Against the Empire of the Third Reich. They are performing the ultimate sacrifice for their fellow man and woman. 


 "Sonderkommando" is a film about the riots at the death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. It is based on real historical  events.  “Sonderkommando” depicts a story that has never before been told cinematically—that of the Sonderkommando uprising at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, in which 300 Jewish prisoners (men and women) plotted to overthrow the SS and blow up the camp’s crematoria.  The Sonderkommando were camp prisoners who were forced to aid their Nazi tormentors in the process of killing fellow prisoners (cremating the bodies etc.) Every four months most of them were gassed down by the Nazis in order to eliminate eyewitness testimonies later.

 I feel very strongly that this film needs to be made and the story of the Sephardic Jewish plight needs to be told.  The Sonderkommando revolt was a shining moment in WWII and Jewish history and the time is ripe to alert the world as to who these people are, why their history is so unique and important and why their dead must be remembered and their living must thrive. Anti-semitism is on the rise. The world remains unaware.

LEGENDARY EDITOR JERRY GREENBERG HONORED WITH LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AT EDDIE AWARDS

Jerry Greenberg was honored last night with a Lifetime Career Achievement Award at the 65th annual American Cinema Editors (ACE) Eddie Awards. Deadline's Ross A. Lincoln and Erik Pedersen report that "Carol Littleton presented Greenberg with his career nod. The Oscar-winning editor of The French Connection has a résumé of required viewing spanning decades, but watching his tribute reel tonight, it stuck out that, if editing is the most important part of completing a film, he is one of the most quantifiably influential people in the past 40 years. Not only on film, but given his work on Scarface, the man is partly responsible for an enormous amount of hip-hop. Greenberg was double Oscar nominee in 1980 for Apocalypse Now and Kramer Vs. Kramer, and his dozens of editing credits also include The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three, The Untouchables, Christmas Vacation, American History X and Get Carter."

Aside from Scarface and The Untouchables, Greenberg worked with De Palma on Dressed To Kill, Body Double, Wise Guys, and the music video for Bruce Springsteen's Dancing In The Dark. In Susan Dworkin's 1984 book Double De Palma, De Palma said of Greenberg, "I can just talk to him on the phone, and he'll know exactly what I want. And can even do it better."
According to the bio on the ACE press release, Greenberg "began his career in his native New York in 1960 where he learned how to edit music and began familiarizing himself with the Moviola, splicers, synchronizers and recorders. He was ready for his big break and he got it when he was offered an apprenticing job for the legendary Dede Allen on Elia Kazan’s America America. By 1967, Greenberg and Allen were working closely together and on Bonnie and Clyde, Greenberg was given the task of editing a couple of the shootout scenes and worked closely with Allen and director Arthur Penn on them. Not soon after, his career was off and running. He cut his first solo feature Bye Bye Braverman for director Sidney Lumet in 1971 and won the Oscar® and BAFTA for editing William Friedkin’s The French Connection a year later. The infamous car chase from that film has been dissected and taught at film schools ever since."

Media Misinformation On Greece Misleads the World

FORBES/By Frances Coppola

The amount of misinformation about the new Greek government being spread by the world’s media beggars belief.
On Friday, Greek financial minister Yanis Varoufakis supposedly refused to cooperate with the “Troika” of IMF , ECB and European Commission. What he actually did was refuse to cooperate with the overseers put in place by those three institutions to enforce their austerity program, which is progressively destroying the Greek economy.
Also on Friday, the Greek government’s refusal to accept further bailout loans was widely interpreted as an intention to default on its debts. This is an unwarranted assumption. Greece does not want to accept more bailout loans, because they are counterproductive for an insolvent country. But it wants to renegotiate its debts, not default on them.
Now we are told that Syriza is backtracking on its “initial defiance”. In an exclusive, Bloomberg reported that Alexis Tsipras, the Greek Prime Minister, had sent an email in which he committed Greece to paying its debts to the IMF and ECB:
Greece will repay its debts to the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund and reach a deal “soon” with the euro-area nations that funded most of the country’s financial rescue, Tsipras said in a statement e-mailed to Bloomberg News on Saturday.
“The deliberation with our European partners has just begun,” Tsipras said. “Despite the fact that there are differences in perspective, I am absolutely confident that we will soon manage to reach a mutually beneficial agreement, both for Greece and for Europe as a whole.”
The world breathed a collective sigh of relief. Syriza had seen the error of its ways, the Troika had regained the upper hand and all was well with the world.

YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE mood video



...Through the voices of these four women in the film, we begin to understand the complexity of the everyday challenges and the relationship issues they are facing (one out of eight women in USA is going to face the challenge of breast cancer). And hopefully, we can transform ourselves, alter our perspectives, and, ultimately, change our own complicated and distorted relationships and attitudes towards breast-cancer patients.

The mood, pace and overall tone of the film is unique since it is elevated far above the drama of the four leading female characters. They are searching for the light in the end of the tunnel. They remain optimistic and humorous even in the worst of circumstances and challenges they are facing. Life goes on and you have to rise above adversities and obstacles. You have to re-invent yourself.


A heartfelt screenplay about finding the courage to change and fall in love again after life (and others) had let you down...
