Beyond Burqa’s and the Taliban: the Afghan Film Festival Taliban, turbans and terrorism: these are just a few things that spring to mind when we contemplate Afghanistan. But there is more to Afghanistan! That’s why the Woest Foundation and Rialto bring the Afghan Film Festival to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on Saturday the 13th of November. For one day, Rialto will be the stage for the best Afghan films, documentaries, visual arts, music and debates. Forget about Camp Holland and plunge into the unknown parts of Afghanistan! It is time to put the spotlights on the role of cinema, art and culture in the country… By presenting the best and most recent films and documentaries, the Afghan Film Festival tries to offer a deep and nuanced view on contemporary Afghan society. The program touches upon diverse topics like the recent war, political elections, the fate of Afghan refugees abroad and the extensive drug addiction in the country. But the films also show the resilience and strength of the people in Afghanistan. Besides films and documentaries, there will be several debates in which politicians, filmmakers, journalists and Afghan students offer their perspective on Afghanistan’s current society. In the evening, journalist and author Eefje Blankevoort will host the talk show Zap Afghanistan, in which she discusses the impact of our own imaging around Afghanistan with various experts. Which images from Afghanistan were we never allowed to see? And what did Afghans like to watch themselves in the past few years? Around midnight you can join in on a special edition of Rialto Laat, which transforms the film theatre into an Afghan club with several DJs and VJs, who mix traditional Afghan sounds and video-clips with steaming Western beats. The Afghan Film Festival Saturday November 13th, 3 PM – 3 AM Film theatre Rialto, Ceintuurbaan 338, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. For more information: http://www.afghaansfilmfestival.nl/english-version The Afghan Film Festival is a cooperation between the Woest Foundation and Rialto Laat. Rialto Laat: a surprising mix of cult, camp & crossover on the late Friday- or Saturday night. On a monthly basis, a guest programmer explores the boundaries of the (un)expected.

A true revolution is happening near you ... 3D stereo imaging!
You are ALL concerned: movie and TV industry, entertainment parks,
media, communication agencies, artists, scientists and engineers,
R&D labs, manufacturers, deciders, movie buffs, high-tech
enthusiasts, and, obviously, the press.
To help you
appreciate and anticipate as best as possible this revolution and take
advantage of all opportunities of this wave, which is as much high-tech
than it is artistic, the e-mage technology cluster of Liège, in
collaboration with the University of Liège, has decided to organize a
yearly event, called 3D Stereo MEDIA, totally dedicated to ALL facets of 3D stereo imaging, and thus unique in Europe.
Fostering the get-together and interaction of all players in 3D stereo
imaging is natural since most of the biological, psychological, and
technical principles, as well as much hardware and software, of 3D
stereo, apply to many applications: not only cinema - which concerns us
all - but also medical imaging, architecture, urbanism, cartography,
remote sensing, vehicle simulators, aerospace, design, etc.
The 1st edition of 3D Stereo MEDIA
will happen in Liège, Belgium, on 1-3 December 2009, featuring a 3D
stereo film festival, a large array of conferences, an exhibition, and
specialized training. Hundreds of experts and professionals, coming
from all over the world, will be present.
Ben Stassen, the
well knowned director and producer of “Fly Me to the Moon”, the first
3D Stereo animation film in the world, will be the President of 3D
Stereo MEDIA 2009.
