Award Winning Film:
Sunday, October 26, 2008 at 1:30 PM sharp! Butler Institute of American Art Admission is free and Parking is free. The Youngstown Chapter will host a showing of the Czech film “Ine Svety”-- Other Worlds. The focus of this film is on the eastern region of Slovakia, known as Saris. Saris lies on the border between Eastern and Western Europe, between the “rational individualism” of the west and the “expressive emotionality” of the east. This territory below the castern Carpathian Mountains developed into a colorful national and religious blend of peoples. The film follows the so-called globalizing process and its impact on individual stories and lives of the inhabitants of Saris, portraying individuals who represent their own ethnic group- Slovak, Rusyn, Romany (Gypsy) and Jews. The film examines the various ways in which their uniqueness. traditional customs and local knowledge are rapidly disappearing. Ine Svety won the Audience Award at the 2006 KARLOVYVARY FILM FESTIVAL.
IF YOUR FAMILY BACKGROUND IS FROM EASTERN EUROPE, THEN THIS IS A MUST SEE FILM. COME AND SEE HOW LIFE HAS AND IS CHANGING FOR SLOVAKS, RUSYNS, ROMANY (GYSPY), AND JEWS. IT IS A VERY INSTRESTING AND ENLIGHTING FILM. COME AND BRING A FRIEND. EVERYONE IS WELCOME! ALSO PLEASE REMEMBERB TO SEND YOUR NOMINATIONS FOR YOUR CHAPTERS OFFICERS. ELECTIONS WILL BE HELD IN DECEMBER.
