* Talent shortages will undermine economic recovery. As the global economy becomes more dependent on technology, workers will need more proficiency in science, technology, engineering, or mathematically based (STEM) jobs. To produce these talented workers, the U.S. education system needs to work with community-based organizations and NGOs to improve training for tomorrow's careers. - Edward Gordon, "The Global Talent Crisis," Sep-Oct 2009, p. 38

* Professions will become hyperspecialized. As professional and academic fields become more and more specialized, the current subspecialization trend may lead to hyperspecialization. For example, a surgeon may only repair knees injured during the playing of football. There are already significant knowledge gaps and communication difficulties between specialties and subspecialties, and these divides will only become larger and more difficult to surmount. - Bruce L. Tow and David A. Gilliam, "Synthesis: An Interdisciplinary Discipline," May-June 2009, p. 43

* Young people will read more, and the old will play more video games. The 2007 American Time Use Survey from the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed some surprising findings. links of london stores In 2007, adults aged 75 and older spent nearly twice as much time playing video games (about 20 minutes) as they did in 2006. Teens aged 15-19 spent twice as much time reading as they did before (about 14 minutes) and less time using a computer for games or casual surfing. - World Trends & Forecasts, Nov-Dec 2008, p. 14 Links of London Earrings 

* Only two-thirds of American households will own cars in the decades ahead, down from seveneighths today.  P Charm In the post-Great Recession era, most new housing will be built in conjunction with high-density, mixed-use, and other in-fill developments clustered around rail-transit stations throughout an increasingly urbanized nation.

From 9th - 15th November public will have access for the first time in São Paulo Espelho Atlântico - Film Week from Africa and the Diaspora, held
annually since 2008 at Caixa Cultural - Rio de Janeiro. Its
programming highlights the contemporary look to the African situation
and their descendants scattered around the world.

Among others, we
have the premiere of short film Black Berlin and the selection of some of the
best films showcased at the show in the last two years.

Black Berlin by Sabrina Fidalgo, shows in a fun way a young
Brazilian in the German capital, divided between the spoils of the first
world and the past memories in their own country. The selection of
Brazilian films also have "Maria Sem Graça" by Leandro Godinho, which
brings in the main cast samba paulista Fabiana Cozza playing an aunt
who tries to dissuade her niece's black obsession to become a Xuxa ( a very popular Brazilian TVshow with German ancient),
and O som e o resto, by André Lavaquial, the only Brazilian film which participated in the session Cinéfondation, in Cannes Film Festival
2008.

The outside view on the african-Brazilian culture is well
represented by the film Os Cariocas by Ariel's Bigault, originally made
for French TV. Portugal
shows a sensitive short animation Ossudo by Julio Alves, based on the
short story Ossos by Mia Couto, who speaks of love in extreme poverty
and helplessness.

Of the films made in Africa, highlight Kuxa Kanema is a powerful
portrait of the socialist experience in Mozambique, with unpublished
images of Samora Machel and other relics of the Newsreel maintained by
the government during that period. In Angola, we'll show The Hero, a
fiction film that depicts the intricacies of rebuilding a country after
decades of civil war, and that counts in the main cast with
Brazilian actresses Neusa Borges, Maria Ceiça.

The woman question comes mainly through the eyes of two
contemporary African filmmakers, who bring different perspectives on
the issue of gender in that continent. From Cape Verde, we display the
misadventures of a group of women in the first film in that country by
national team totally - Cape Verde My Love by Ana Ramos Lisboa.
From Mauritania there is the beautiful Waiting for the Men a documentary by Katy
Lena Ndiaye about f women
living under the strict Muslim tradition in a society dominated by men.

Curated by filmmaker Lilian Solá Santiago, she also displays two
films short ; Ballet Foot in the Ground (in
partnership with Marianna Miller, winner of the Best Documentary at the
Hollywood Film Festival I, 2009), which shows the trajectory of
Mercedes Baptista, the precursor of african-Brazilian dance, and the
doc-fiction Graffiti which raises the question of the
criminalization of black youth in Sao Paulo, through the agency of the
police in revenge for attacks by the PCC in 2006.

Fun with reflection!

You Are Here Film Festival

follow us on Twitter @youareherefest

A NEW KIND OF FILM FESTIVAL.

The You Are Here Film Festival is a web-based film festival dedicated to films that tackle the themes of place and locale.  Local subject matters, local people, local culture -- anything goes, so long as it captures the spirit of a specific place.  There are no restrictions on the length of the films, format, what have you.  Your film can be documentary, fiction, a feature or very short, narrative or experimental.  What matters most is the filmmaker’s skill and ability to capture the sense of a place that is unique to all other places in the world.

A ROLLING FESTIVAL.

Submissions are rolling.  So submit any time.  Winners receive $100 prize -- and are chosen periodically when it feels like we’ve found a the right film.  Winning films will be played on the festival site -- and we’ll also upload the winning films onto other sites.  Laurels, email blasts, tweets, and a press release accompany the winning films. 

THINK SMALL.

Your film can be about a county, a town, a city street, a rural field, a single address.  This is a festival that seeks to express what it means to be from somewhere specific. 

WHY LOCAL?

Local is good.  This is true for food, for friends, and for film.  There are a lot of great festivals out there celebrating different kinds of films for everybody.  But there is yet to be a festival that celebrates the notion of place. 

let's get goin'

How does one submit an entry to the MEIFF 2009... one can't find a form online!!!

hoping to one day get my movie produced

We are excited to have films from all over the world! Be apart of this special 1st Annual Event.

THE SITE IS REALLY GREAT

What goes on here then?

Good to be here

Just getting started on Film 21. Initial info on the films can be found at

Synopsis

Two brothers are trying to survive a planetary disaster.
"Things" have envaded the world....
Nobody knows how they got here nor what they came here to do,
only that they feed on living things included humans.
The brothers, both from Congo, live in the apartment of an ex military man.
The latter, always accompanied by a bodyguard, has captured one of the "things" and wants to study it to better fight them.
