Nagrada za „Liniju života“

Uprkos pandemiji virusa, zasedao je žiri 53. Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Hjustonu – WorldFest, i filmu „Linija života“ Darka Bajića dodelio nagradu „Zlatnu Remi nagradu“ u konkurenciji dokumentarnog filma.

Nakon uspešne premijere filma ,,Linija života“ koja je, u prepunoj sali Kombak Dvorane otvorila prošlogodišnji Beldocs, dobitnik godišnje nagrade UFUS-a za najbolji dokumentarni film 2019. godine, biće prikazan na Drugom programu RTS-a u utorak 5. maja u 20 časpoa. Tog dana navršava se 75 godina od oslobođenja logora Mauthauzen.

„Linija života“ je film o čuvenom slikaru i profesoru Milošu Bajiću, ali film o životu u XX veku koji je podneblju Balkana doneo periode velikih razaranja i velikih obnova. O surovosti rata u kojem je ljudski život vredeo onoliko koliko je čovek bio sposoban da radi u monstruoznoj mašineriji koncentracionih logora. O 11 miliona onih koji nisu dočekali šansu da nakon tog rata žive, rade, stvaraju i stvore porodice. I o tome kako je glavni junak ovog filma svojom maštom i umetnošću pobedio smrt.

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.
