Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

Мила Турајлић у Америчкој академији бира документарац за Оскара

Редитељку Милу Турајлић позвала је Америчка академија за филмску уметност и науку да буде њихов члан у сектору документаристике, што значи да ће моћи да учествује и у гласању за Оскара у категорији документарних остварења, преноси Танјуг. Задовољство због овог позива, редитељка је поделила на својој фејсбук страници. Академија је позвала 819 филмских уметника и радника „који су се истакли доприносом биоскопским филмовима и филмској уметности”, а поред Турајлићеве на листи су и аутори филма „Земља меда” Тамара Котевска и Љубо Стефанов, али и многобројни добитници Оскара попут екипе филма „Паразит”.

„Веома сам почаствована позивом да се придружим академији. Невероватно је што ћу се наћи у тако цењеном друштву, у класи 2020, чији је досадашњи рад веома инспиришући. У њих сврставам многе пријатеље, колеге и менторе, а то само показује великодушност и љубав које ова заједница пружа”, написала је Турајлићева, која је недавно дошла у Београд како би доснимила сцене за свој нови документарни филм „Досије Лабудовић”, за који завршава монтажу.

The Hagia Sophia

The Mystical Light of the Great Church and its Architectural Dress

by Charalambos P. Stathakis

Dear reader, as you run like the rest of us along the dizzy main road, stop, stay aside for a while. Let the others be dizzy, and take the secret underground trail, which will lead you through the dewdrops of the leaves, the crystal smile of the sun, the city’s underground galler- ies, your knowledge, and your feelings, to the doorstep of the Hagia Sophia. Because all dew- drops, all sunrays, and all beauty lead there. That is what you will be told by my friend, the author, whom I am fond of and whom I send you to, Charalambos Stathakis: the doctor, the warm and humane researcher, the scientist devoted to his work and his patients, who has given a series of scientific papers, who, nevertheless, retains a nest of beauty untouched in his heart, which makes him outstanding—even though he is not a specialist in architecture, nor a historian, nor a theologian, nor a Byzantinist—it makes him stand out in all these together and in entirety.
