Film "Love Hunter – priče iz njujorškog taksija" na turneji po Americi

Posle veoma uspešne premijere u Njujorku, film “Love Hunter – priče iz njujorškog taksija”, kojeg je Njujork Tajms nazvao “jednim od osveženja njujorške filmske scene”, kreće dalje na američku turneju.

“Turneja počinje u Čikagu a zatim slede i Vašington i Los Anđeles, a dodaju se i novi gradovi poput Toronta i San Franciska. Biće ih verovatno dodato još, jer su nas kontaktirali ljudi iz cele Amerike i pitaju kad ćemo doći i u njihov grad”, kaže Brane Bala, jedan od režisera.

Ova muzička komedija, bazirana većim delom na njujorškim avanturama Milana Mumina, legendarnog frontmena kultnog novosadskog benda “Love Hunters”, govori o ljubavi i praćenju snova. Mumin u filmu igra samog sebe dok kao taksista u Njujorku pokušava da sakupi novac za snimanje svog prvog američkog albuma.

“Drago mi je da se publika uspela poistovetiti sa glavnim likom koji prolazi kroz razne avanture ali i tegobe koje su, čini se, neizostavni deo svake priče o potrazi za snovima i, naravno, ljubavi”, kaže Milan Mumin.

Film je svoju američku premijeru imao u Njujorku u novembru 2014, gde je publika ovacijama pozdravila pored Milana Mumina i ostale glumce među kojima su Jelena Stupljanin, Eleanor Hačins (Eleanor Hutchins), Anika Peterson (Annika Peterson), Majkl Denola (Michael DeNola) i drugi.

“Srećni smo što se publici toliko svideo film i morali smo da se odazovemo pozivima ljudi iz drugih gradova i da krenemo na ovu turneju”, kaže režiser Nemanja Bala.

Turneja počinje u Čikagu simbolično na Dan Zaljubljenih 14. februara, a biće još dve projekcije 17. i 18. februara u čuvenom Gene Siskel Filmskom Centru. Zatim turneja nastavlja dalje u Vašington i Los Anđeles u martu. Sve informacije o turneji mogu se naći na sajtu filma: lovehunterfilm.com ili preko LeitmotivArts na www.facebook.com/LeitmotivArtsNYC

On Divine Philanthropy

On Divine Philanthropy

From Plato to John Chrysostom

by Bishop Danilo Krstic

This book describes the use of the notion of divine philanthropy from its first appearance in Aeschylos and Plato to the highly polyvalent use of it by John Chrysostom. Each page is marked by meticulous scholarship and great insight, lucidity of thought and expression. Bishop Danilo’s principal methodology in examining Chrysostom is a philological analysis of his works in order to grasp all the semantic shades of the concept of philanthropia throughout his vast literary output. The author overviews the observable development of the concept of philanthropia in a research that encompasses nearly seven centuries of literary sources. Peculiar theological connotations are studied in the uses of divine philanthropia both in the classical development from Aeschylos via Plutarch down to Libanius, Themistius of Byzantium and the Emperor Julian, as well as in the biblical development, especially from Philo and the New Testament through Origen and the Cappadocians to Chrysostom.

With this book, the author invites us to re-read Chrysostom’s golden pages on the ineffable philanthropy of God. "There is a modern ring in Chrysostom’s attempt to prove that we are loved—no matter who and where we are—and even infinitely loved, since our Friend and Lover is the infinite Triune God."

The victory of Chrysostom’s use of philanthropia meant the affirmation of ecclesial culture even at the level of Graeco-Roman culture. May we witness the same reality today in the modern techno-scientific world in which we live.
