Prof. Haim/Howard Cedar and his son, Yossef/Joseph Cedar, the filmmaker (by Nir Hasson in Haaretz) “There’s no connection between the father and the son in ‘Footnote’ and the relationship between us.

Let’s start with the finale! 7. Don’t stop until it’s done. Stopping simply because you’re tired or bored is habit-forming. (Plus you’re always capable of doing more than you think.) If the only barrier to completion is effort or motivation, stay at it and bust through that barrier. From Inc.: “Jeff Haden learned much of what he knows...

Recently an apparently well-known British blogger featured on Democracy Now! was denouncing some British politicians for being “Pro-Israel” and from my progressive perspective I was shocked. I shouldn’t have been… Too many times I have been involved in discussions with individuals who claim to be on the side of “people.”...

Pier Marton
___________________Screens Reveal AND Conceal
Born and raised in Paris, Pier Marton moved to the U.S. in the early seventies to live in Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, San Diego, San Francisco and, more recently, St. Louis; in parallel to teaching media at major universities, his many video-art activities have included video installations, performances and documentaries (with works in prominent museums like MoMA and Beaubourg).
As new media offers more and more a form of pseudo-challenge to the status quo, for Pier Marton it is “no-media” that now represents the next frontier: to look beyond media and most concepts, however "practical" those may appear to be.
He is available for presentations and workshops on:
Non-Images & No-Media - Slow Cinema - Shoah and Film- Experimental Cinema and Video Art - Film Painting in Sound/Movement - Non-Violent Media - Imperfection in Film - Unclassifiable Music/Arts - Blinded by Sight - The Shoah in 1,000 Years - A Porous Reality - Secular Jews - Taking it the Hard Way - Exhilarating Creativity - and anything else that may be ignored by society at large.
Remnants from recent presentations: Images of the Other (at the School of Visual Arts Alguonquin Annual Conference), Resistance (at a St. Louis Yom HaShoah Commemoration).
