"Lebanon," an Israeli film that recounts Israel's 1982 invasion of its northern neighbor through soldiers' eyes, won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival Saturday.
The festival jury announced the Golden Lion and other prizes on the last day of the 11-day international festival.
The anti-war film, directed by Samuel Maoz, tells the story of paratroopers searching a hostile town. The conflict is seen through the binocular-aided eyes of soldiers in an armored vehicle.

"Sita Sings the Blues is a musical, animated personal interpretation of the Indian epic the Ramayana. The aspect of the story that I focus on is the relationship between Sita and Rama, who are gods incarnated as human beings, and even they can't make their marriage work." - Nina Paley

GLIMMER The 8th Hull International Short Film Festival, which runs from 19th-25th April 2010, will once again give filmmakers the opportunity to walk away with the Anthony Minghella Award for Best International and Best UK Short. Sponsored by the University of Hull, the awards come with a cash prize of £1000 and £500 respectively and give those working in all genres the chance to vie for the prestigious honour. Last year’s winners included The Solitary Life of Cranes (Dir. Eva Weber, UK, 2008) a lyrical and moving documentary, and Dobro Jutro [Good Morning] (Dir. Marina Radmilac, Serbia, 2008), a remarkable drama about a girl waking up in a strange flat. Shot in one take, the film received its UK premiere at the 7th edition of GLIMMER.

The Film Festival Team
Cafesociety.org runs filmmaking workshops in the community working particularly with young people in youth clubs, adventure playgrounds, schools, and education centres.
We think digital filmmaking is a magical tool to enhance both learning and teaching. Our school programmes are designed to complement the national curriculum and to offer real tangible learning outcomes that aim to inspire and motivate pupils and teachers.
Each project is different depending on the type of group, genre and theme but all the workshops we run take the students through the filmmaking process from start to finish. They learn about storytelling, scriptwriting, storyboarding, sound, camera, acting and editing. At the end of each project a screening is held and students are given a DVD of their film.

Here you can see the final film in three parts and also see the process and development of ideas from start to finish. The film, posters and all artistic outputs were made by young people who have experienced homelessness first hand. The film is designed for use in schools and youth settings and will come complete with resources and session plans.

Exploring one of the many corners of cyberspace I found this little gem, a video made at Kelvin High School, which was screened at Hull Screen. It has a message; however, it is worth viewing it. The editor.
I run a friendly, informal social group that meets twice a month, once to see a 'mainstream' film and once to see a film at Hull Screen. It is totally free, no commitment necessary - people just turn up as and when they can/want. There is a mix of ages and I've had some very positive feedback about how welcome new people have felt when they come to a meet.
This is proving very popular, with regular cinema attendances.
I send messages and invites via our message board, which is becoming more and more lively - go to Yahoo!Groups and search for Hull Cinema Group (or see this website's homepage). Or let me know if you don't have a computer/internet access as possibly something can be arranged that could keep you in the loop.
Please get in touch with me if you are interested in coming along. Films and times will vary and suggestions will be welcome. The meets are open to anyone of any age. See full post at the Comments Board.
At present the group meets usually on Monday or Tuesday evening, to have a drink then see a movie (variety of genres) at one of the mainstream cinemas (normally Vue Cinema at Princes Quay). Please contact Cate if you would like information about these meets also.
Best wishes - Cate Allison.

Reel Hull houses 7 dolby digital surround screens with modern comfortable seating, concessions kiosk and a box office. The latest movie for all ages and the main blockbusters on their release dates.
Hull Screen is an independent cinema, currently run by Reel Cinemas and showing “art house” foreign and “indie” films.
Recently, for instance, the Screen showed the remarkable Argentinian movie XXY, with its bold theme and outstanding performances, and Lemon Tree, a memorable and compassionate Israeli film on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
You will see films at the Screen which you will not catch at the local commercial cinemas. A "must" for students engaged in Media/Film courses, the Screen is a treat for all discerning cinema-goers!
Hull Screen has moved to Reel Cinemas, in St. Stephen's shopping centre.
We are a support group acting as a pressure group to develop the Screen. The more people that use the Screen, the greater the hope of its survival.
