Svetozaru Cvetkoviću nagrada kritike za najboljeg glumca na festivalu u Hjustonu

Glumac Svetozar Cvetković dobio nagradu kritike za najboljeg glumca na 50. filmskom festivalu Vorldfest (Worldfest) u Hjustonu.

Cvetković je priznanje dobio za ulogu u filmu "You Go To My Head", koji je režirao belgijski producent i reditelj Dimitri De Klerk, saopštila je produkcijska kuća Testament films.

- Ovo je lepa vest. Pogotovo što priznanje dolazi od ljudi koji vas ne poznaju, ili vas čak možda nisu nikad ni gledali - rekao je tim povodom Cvetković koji nije bio u mogućnosti da prisustvuje dodeli nagrada.

On je dodao da se oseća "pomalo nestvarno, i istovremeno ponosno", kada se pogleda ko su ovogodišnji laureati.

Medju glumcima, ovogodišnji dobitnici nagrada u zvaničnoj konkurenciji su Natali Portman, Džef Bridžis i Kejsi Aflek.

"You Go To My Head" je nezavisna, niskobudžetna francusko-nemačko-američka koprodukcija, snimana 2015. godine sa vrlo malom ekipom, u Marakešu i pustinjskim predelima Maroka. Reditelj De Klerk je dobio nagrade za režiju i film u celini.

Dizajner tona bio je Novica Jankov iz Srbije. Očekuje se da film uskoro bude prikazan i u Beogradu, uz prisustvo reditelja.

A conversation with Fr. Stamatis Skliris and Fr. Marko Rupnik on contemporary Christian art

In these timely conversations led by Fr. Radovan Bigovic, many issues are introduced that enable the contemporary reader to deepen and expand his or her understanding of the role of art in the life of the Church. Here we find answers to questions on the crisis of contemporary ecclesiastical art in West and East; the impact of Impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract painting on contemporary ecclesiastical painting; and a consideration of the main distrinction between iconography and secular painting. The dialogue, while resolving some doubts about the difference between iconography, religious painting, and painting in general, reconciles the requirement to obey inconographic canons with the freedom essential to artistic creativity, demonstrating that obedience to the canons is not a threat to the vitatlity of iconography. Both artists illumine the role of prayer and ascetisicm in the art of iconography. They also mention curcial differences between iconography in the Orthodox Church and in Roman Catholicism. How important thse distinctions are when exploring the relationship between contemporary theology and art! In a time when postmodern "metaphysics' revitalizes every concept, these masters still believe that, to some extent, Post-Modernism adds to the revitatiztion of Christian art, stimulating questions about "artistic inspiration" and the essential asethetic categories of Christian painting. Their exceptionally wide, yet nonetheless deep, expertise assists their not-so-everday connections between theology, ar, and modern issues concerning society: "society" taken in its broader meaning as "civilization." Finally, the entire artistic project of Stamatis and Rupnik has important ecumenical implications that aswer a genuine longing for unity in the Christian word.

The text of this 94-page soft-bound book has been translated from the Serbian by Ivana Jakovljevic, Fr. Gregory Edwards, and Andrijana Krstic.
