On today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Bruno Anković about his new film ‘Celebration', which premiered at this years Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Crystal Globe competition. We dive into the themes and storytelling techniques used in ‘Celebration', which explores the cyclical nature of history and the challenges of portraying the passage of time through different actors. We also discuss Bruno's cinema influences, including Michael Haneke's ‘The White Ribbon' (2009) and Jim Sheridan's ‘The Field' (1990). Other past inspiration includes the Croatian films ‘Handcuffs' (Croatian title - “Lisice”), dir. Krsto Papić (1969) and ‘The Birch Tree' (Croatian title - “Breza”), dir. Antę Babaja (1967). The discussion also provides insights into Bruno's creative process and the connection between personal experiences and artistic expression. It explores the challenges of making a film that tackles sensitive topics and the importance of creating dialogue and understanding. Bruno discusses the political and social context of the Balkans region and the ongoing tensions that exist. His film ‘Celebration' aims to shed light on why young people can be drawn to extreme ideologies, and the impact of poverty and lack of education. Short EndsThe current cinema landscape is influenced by past films and filmmakers like Michael Haneke and Jim Sheridan, and it is important to appreciate and learn from their work.The passage of time can be effectively portrayed through storytelling techniques such as nonlinear narratives and the use of different actors to represent different stages of a character's life.Filmmaking is a powerful medium for exploring historical and social themes, and it allows for a deeper understanding of the cyclical nature of history.Personal experiences and cultural backgrounds can shape the creative process and influence the themes and storytelling choices in a film.Filmmaking can be a powerful tool for addressing sensitive topics and creating dialogue and understanding.The Balkans region continues to face political and social tensions, and the film ‘Celebration' aims to shed light on these issues.The film explores the reasons why young people can be drawn to extreme ideologies, highlighting the impact of poverty and lack of education.Film festivals play a crucial role in promoting and distributing independent films, and sales agents are important in navigating the industry.What Movies Are You Watching?Like, subscribe and follow us on our socials @pastpresentfeature

Other topics include the experience of watching one's own film, the challenges of making a feature film compared to shorts, the value of film labs and festivals, and the difficulties of the Georgian Film Center. George emphasizes the importance of serving the story and removing oneself as a director.

In this episode, we have Tara Geraghty-Moats, a trailblazer in women's nordic combined who made the switch this season to biathlon. As we discuss in this conversation, women's nordic combined could be put on display as an example of gender inequity in sport. Despite the fact that men have competed in nordic combined at the Olympics since the first Winter Games in 1924 and the FIS has organized a men's World Cup season since 1983, the women's counterpart is still not included in the Olympics and only saw its first World Cup season last year. The original 2020-2021 World Cup schedule included four venues, plus the World Championships in Oberstdorf, Germany, but due to COVID cancellations, only one event took place. As Tara won this event in Ramsau, Austria, she was later named the overall World Cup winner and took home the first ever women's World Cup crystal globe. While she has goals remaining in nordic combined, Tara feels the move to biathlon was the right one, which you'll hear about conversation. Tara also discusses her background in winter sports, the state of women's nordic combined in the U.S., what her training and travel looked like during the transition, and her goals for the upcoming season.Thanks for listening.

This week I am talking to Bill Bennett about his film 'PGS The Movie'. PGS – Intuition is your Personal Guidance System is an 83 minute movie detailing one man's search for a voice that saved his life. While driving early one morning, Bill Bennett heard a voice which told him to slow down. He was approaching an intersection, he slowed down, and a huge truck ran a red light, missing him by inches. If not for that voice, Bill would have been killed. He was determined to find out what that voice was, so he spent three years traveling the world interviewing experts on intuition, spanning the fields of science, religion and spirituality. Bill discovered that intuition is part of a subtle energetic system that seeks to protect us and guide us along our life's journey so that we can achieve our true purpose – and lead a life of fulfillment and contentment. He called it our PGS – our Personal Guidance System. For Bill, the three year journey to make the film not only took him to the furthermost reaches of the planet, it also took him to the innermost depths of his soul. As he says: Making this movie changed my life. Watching it could change yours. In a career spanning more than thirty years, Bill Bennett has made numerous feature films and documentaries and won many awards, both in his home country of Australia, and internationally. He's won Australia's equivalent of the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director, and been nominated a further twelve times. Twice he's won Australia's equivalent of the Emmy for Most Outstanding Documentary. His films have been distributed through several Hollywood studios, and have screened at some of the world's most prestigious film festivals. He's been in Official Selection at the New York Film Festival, and had two films in Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival. He's won the Crystal Globe for Best Picture at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, and had three major international retrospectives, including the Chicago Museum of Art's Film Centre. www.pgsthemovie.com www.billbennett.com.au www.patreon.com/pastlivespodcast

El pasado día 7 de noviembre conmemoramos el segundo aniversario de la muerte de Leonard Norman Cohen, poeta, novelista y cantautor canadiense, nacido en Montreal en 1934. Este escritor, compositor y cantante canadiense ha sido considerado una figura fundamental del folk estadounidense de los sesenta y setenta, sus canciones, que sobresalen particularmente por la fuerza y calidad literaria de sus letras, reforzadas por expresivas melodías, influyeron en la mayoría de cantautores contemporáneos. Su vocación le llevó en sus inicios a la literatura. Empezó publicando novelas como El juego favorito (1963) y Los hermosos vencidos (1966), aunque ciertamente su género favorito era la poesía. De 1956 es Comparemos mitologías, al que seguirían numerosos volúmenes de poemas: La caja de especias de la Tierra (1961), Parásitos del paraíso (1962), Flores para Hitler (1964), La energía de los esclavos (1972), El libro de la misericordia (1984). Si bien la poesía parecía ser su principal centro de interés, hacia 1966 empezó a ser habitual su presencia en los escenarios de los clubes de folk del barrio neoyorquino del Greenwich Village. Inició su carrera musical con la ayuda de Juddy Collins, quien introdujo al por entonces prometedor escritor y poeta en los círculos musicales. La versión que Collins hizo en 1966 de su canción Suzanne (publicada como poema dentro del libro Parásitos del paraíso) reforzaría el interés ya existente por la compleja personalidad de Cohen, que casi se vio obligado a debutar discográficamente en enero de 1968. Pero iba a ser John Hammond (famoso cazatalentos del sello CBS) el responsable final del paso de Cohen a la música, tras ver actuar al canadiense en el Festival de Folk de Newport de 1966. Su primer álbum se tituló sencillamente Songs of Leonard Cohen (Canciones de Leonard Cohen, 1968). De este disco fue sin duda un acierto su producción mínima, prácticamente reducida a la presencia de la voz y la guitarra de Leonard, lo que destacó el interés de las letras. En cualquier caso, este primer trabajo colocó de inmediato a Cohen en la primera línea de los cantautores del momento. El contenido intimista de los textos dejaba bien claro desde el primer instante su postura progresista dentro y fuera de los escenarios. Desde entonces el cantautor canadiense, ajeno siempre a planteamientos comerciales y a las grandes campañas promocionales, compaginaría con idéntico interés y rigor la literatura, la composición y grabación de nuevos temas y las actuaciones en directo. Su segundo álbum, Songs from a room (Canciones desde una habitación, 1969), se mantuvo en la misma línea y elevó al cantautor al rango de líder de toda una generación de músicos interesados por el folk. Su actuación en el Festival de Wight de 1970 y su posterior gira europea ampliaron el número de seguidores fuera de Canadá y de los Estados Unidos y sirvió a Cohen para descubrir la isla griega de Hydra, a la que convertiría en el lugar preferido de sus periódicos retiros. Ya en los setenta, su producción discográfica comenzó a hacerse más sofisticada por lo que respecta a los arreglos de los temas contenidos en su álbumes, manteniendo, sin embargo, la misma coherencia inicial en las letras de sus canciones. En 1971 publicó Songs of love and hate (Canciones de amor y de odio) y en 1973 el álbum en directo titulado Live Songs. Ambos anticiparon el éxito popular que alcanzaría New skin for the old ceremony (Nueva piel para la vieja ceremonia, 1974). Después de la publicación de Greatest Hits en 1977, se habló de una retirada definitiva de Leonard Cohen de la música, pero el rumor fue desmentido de inmediato con el lanzamiento de Death of a Lady (Muerte de una dama, 1977), producido por Phil Spector. La grabación de este nuevo trabajo se desarrolló en un ambiente de constante tensión entre Spector y Cohen, quienes mantuvieron fuertes discrepancias en los arreglos de cada tema, hecho que perjudicó el resultado final. Tal vez por ello, el cantautor canadiense volvería a sus raíces en Recent songs (Canciones recientes, 1979). La irrupción de nuevas corriente musicales a finales de los setenta, como el Punk y la New Wave, pareció desplazar a Leonard Cohen de los primeros planos de la actualidad. Pero Cohen, ajeno siempre a las modas, se dedicó igualmente a seguir escribiendo canciones y a escribir, protagonizar y dirigir el cortometraje I am a hotel, que merecería el Gran Premio del Festival Internacional de Televisión de Montreaux, en Suiza. Meses después, en 1985, publicó Various positions (Diversas posiciones), un álbum que mostraba a un Leonard Cohen muy puesto al día en los arreglos de sus canciones. Ganador ese mismo año de un Award canadiense (compartido con Lewis Furey) por la música de la Ópera-Rock Night Magic, en 1988 recuperó las cotas de su antigua popularidad con el álbum I'm your man (Soy tu hombre), superventas a ambos lados del Atlántico. Sus posteriores trabajos, como The future (El futuro, 1992), siguieron demostrando un alto nivel de creatividad, en una línea de trabajo que, pese a su evolución estilística, mantiene las constantes y las esencias de sus inicios, las mismas que lo convirtieron en el gran letrista y compositor de los setenta. Finalizada la gira de presentación de su nuevo trabajo, Cohen se retiró a un monasterio zen en San Diego (California), donde permanecería durante seis años. Tras nueve años de silencio creativo, el cantautor volvió en 2001 a la escena musical para presentar el vigésimo tercer álbum de su carrera, que se editó con el escueto título de Ten new songs (Diez canciones nuevas). Dear heather (2004), Old ideas (2012), Popular problems (2014) y You want it darker (2016) fueron los últimos títulos de su discografía. En el año 2009, Leonard Cohen visitó nuevamente Zaragoza y nos obsequió con un concierto memorable en el que encandiló al numeroso público que allí nos encontrábamos. Fue el 15 de septiembre de este año. Se hizo acompañar por una orquesta de auténticos solistas, entre los que debemos destacar de manera sobresaliente a nuestro vecino Javier Mas, extraordinario con las cuerdas, que supieron conjugar el blues, el folk, el country, el soul, el flamenco y el jazz. Orquesta y coro al servicio de la peculiar y envolvente voz del Sr. Cohen. Una gozada. Vamos a volver a escuchar una canción de Cohen pero en esta ocasión, en una versión que Bill Pritchard hizo de I’m your man. Cohen fue más popular como cantautor que como poeta, pero, paradójicamente, se le reconoció más esta última faceta que la primera. Como cantante recibió el Crystal Globe en 1988 por haber vendido cinco millones de discos fuera de Estados Unidos. En 1991 entró en la Hall of Fame de músicos en Toronto (Canadá) y recibió el premio Juno al escritor de canciones del año. En 1993 le fue concedido el Juno al mejor cantante masculino del año. Sin embargo, en literatura, la lista de galardones cosechados es casi interminable; mereció dos títulos Honoris causa por las universidades de Dalhousie (1970) y McGill (1992), y en 2011 recibió el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de las Letras. Se han hecho, a lo largo de los años, innumerables versiones de las canciones de Leonard Cohen con mayor o menor acierto. Entre ellas, esta que acabamos de escuchar a cargo de Jeff Buckley, pero hay muchas más a cual más interesante y, desde luego, muy acertadas. Por ejemplo, la que hace Silvia Pérez Cruz del precioso Pequeño Vals Vienés. O la que hizo el propio Joe Cocker de Bird on the wire La canción Priests (sacerdote) nunca salió al mercado cantada por Cohen, sino que su partitura fue publicada junto al disco Songs from a Room. Enrique Morente tradujo su letra e hizo su propia versión en el álbum que cambió la historia del flamento: Omega, en 1996. Escuchamos Enrique Morente junto a Lagartija Nick En fin, se marchó uno de los más grandes de la música y la poesía. Todos hemos perdido algo con su muerte y hemos contraído una deuda impagable por su legado. Fue sobre todo, un hombre bueno, que a pesar de su apariencia seria y, porque no decirlo, un poco lúgubre, los que tuvieron la suerte de conocerle afirman que fue un hombre con una increíble paz interior, entrañable, generoso y simpático. Nos despedimos por hoy con las palabras que en su día le dedicó Enrique Bumbury en redes sociales: “No puedo expresar con palabras lo que ha significado Leonard Cohen en mi vida. Su influencia musical, poética y humana. Tuve el honor de conocerle, de estrechar su mano y hablar con él. Sus canciones y poemas me acompañarán siempre.”

El pasado día 7 de noviembre conmemoramos el segundo aniversario de la muerte de Leonard Norman Cohen, poeta, novelista y cantautor canadiense, nacido en Montreal en 1934. Este escritor, compositor y cantante canadiense ha sido considerado una figura fundamental del folk estadounidense de los sesenta y setenta, sus canciones, que sobresalen particularmente por la fuerza y calidad literaria de sus letras, reforzadas por expresivas melodías, influyeron en la mayoría de cantautores contemporáneos. Su vocación le llevó en sus inicios a la literatura. Empezó publicando novelas como El juego favorito (1963) y Los hermosos vencidos (1966), aunque ciertamente su género favorito era la poesía. De 1956 es Comparemos mitologías, al que seguirían numerosos volúmenes de poemas: La caja de especias de la Tierra (1961), Parásitos del paraíso (1962), Flores para Hitler (1964), La energía de los esclavos (1972), El libro de la misericordia (1984). Si bien la poesía parecía ser su principal centro de interés, hacia 1966 empezó a ser habitual su presencia en los escenarios de los clubes de folk del barrio neoyorquino del Greenwich Village. Inició su carrera musical con la ayuda de Juddy Collins, quien introdujo al por entonces prometedor escritor y poeta en los círculos musicales. La versión que Collins hizo en 1966 de su canción Suzanne (publicada como poema dentro del libro Parásitos del paraíso) reforzaría el interés ya existente por la compleja personalidad de Cohen, que casi se vio obligado a debutar discográficamente en enero de 1968. Pero iba a ser John Hammond (famoso cazatalentos del sello CBS) el responsable final del paso de Cohen a la música, tras ver actuar al canadiense en el Festival de Folk de Newport de 1966. Su primer álbum se tituló sencillamente Songs of Leonard Cohen (Canciones de Leonard Cohen, 1968). De este disco fue sin duda un acierto su producción mínima, prácticamente reducida a la presencia de la voz y la guitarra de Leonard, lo que destacó el interés de las letras. En cualquier caso, este primer trabajo colocó de inmediato a Cohen en la primera línea de los cantautores del momento. El contenido intimista de los textos dejaba bien claro desde el primer instante su postura progresista dentro y fuera de los escenarios. Desde entonces el cantautor canadiense, ajeno siempre a planteamientos comerciales y a las grandes campañas promocionales, compaginaría con idéntico interés y rigor la literatura, la composición y grabación de nuevos temas y las actuaciones en directo. Su segundo álbum, Songs from a room (Canciones desde una habitación, 1969), se mantuvo en la misma línea y elevó al cantautor al rango de líder de toda una generación de músicos interesados por el folk. Su actuación en el Festival de Wight de 1970 y su posterior gira europea ampliaron el número de seguidores fuera de Canadá y de los Estados Unidos y sirvió a Cohen para descubrir la isla griega de Hydra, a la que convertiría en el lugar preferido de sus periódicos retiros. Ya en los setenta, su producción discográfica comenzó a hacerse más sofisticada por lo que respecta a los arreglos de los temas contenidos en su álbumes, manteniendo, sin embargo, la misma coherencia inicial en las letras de sus canciones. En 1971 publicó Songs of love and hate (Canciones de amor y de odio) y en 1973 el álbum en directo titulado Live Songs.

Aired Wednesday, 31 January 2018, 2:00 PM ESTPGS - Intuition Your Personal Guidance System with Bill BennettWhat would you do if you heard a voice telling you what to do? Would you listen to that voice or ignore it?For Bill Bennett, listening to a voice he heard while rushing to the airport early one morning literally saved his life. As he approached an intersection, the voice told him to slow down. Fortunately Bill listened because a huge truck ran a red light on a cross street right in front of him, missing him by inches. If it were not for that voice and Bill’s willingness to listen and follow the guidance of that voice, Bill Bennet would have been killed.Determined to find out what that voice was, where it came from, and why his life was saved caused Bill Bennett to embark upon a 3-year long journey to sacred sites around the globe and meet with holy men, mystics, research scientists, quantum physicists, and psychiatrists. What Bill uncovered has now been made available in his remarkable movie called PGS – Intuition Is Your Personal Guidance System now available in cinemas in the United States and around the world.Interviewees in this film include: Caroline Myss, Paul Selig, James Van Praagh, Dr. Judith Orloff, Lee Carroll, Dr. Dean Radin, Michael Tamura, Dr. Jeffrey Fannin, Foster Gamble, Dr. Francesca McCartney, H.H.

In this episode of Nordic Nation, we review November and December racing on the World Cup with Justin Wadsworth.   A former U.S. Olympian and coach as well as Canadian head coach, Wadsworth will be doing on-air commentary during the 2018 Olympics for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). This season, there's much to discuss with Wadsworth. Ten races into the World Cup, the racing so far has seen an unsettled women's side and a lopsided men's field. Charlotte Kalla has renewed the premise that Sweden can produce a formidable nordic-ski powerhouse as she leads the overall World Cup standings by 98 points over a quartet of Norwegians — specifically, Ingvild Flugstad Østberg, Heidi Weng, Marit Bjørgen and Ragnhild Haga, respectively. Americans Jessie Diggins and Sadie Bjornsen follow in sixth and eighth. Former Canadian national team head coach Justin Wadsworth (Photo: FIS/NordicFocus) Kalla remains a beacon of blue-and-yellow Swedish hope as she won the Ruka Triple, the Lillehammer skiathlon, and the 10-kilometer freestyle individual start in Toblach. On the men's side, Johannes Høsflot Klæbo is the story. The upstart Norwegian has entered eight races and won seven — a record number of races won by a male World Cup skier before Jan. 1. Early on, it appears to be Klæbo's Crystal Globe to lose in a season where it might just be in with the new and out with the old. Yup, the Tour de Ski is about to begin on Saturday, Dec. 30, time to brush up on what went down during World Cup Period 1.
