EVENT: CELEBRATION OF THE STATEHOOD DAY OF SERBIA
DATE: Saturday, February 15th 2003. TIME: 7pm PLACE: MIT Room 4-237 LANGUAGE: Serbian. DESCRIPTION: We will show a documentary movie "The Calvary of Serbia" (serbian: "Golgota Srbije"), a Serbian movie, without English subtitles. Details that follow are also in Serbian. DOKUMENTARNI FILM:"Golgota Srbije," autenticni snimci ratnih operatera 1914 - 1918. PROIZVODNJA: Artistik film (1940), Jugoslovenska kinoteka (1993). TRAJANJE: 90 minuta. MUZIKA: Milenko Zivkovic. JEZIK: Srpski, NIJE titlovan na engleski. OPIS FILMA: Najbolje predratno beogradsko privatno filmsko preduzece "Artistik film," vlasnistvo Andreje Glisica i Zarija Djokica, prihvatilo je ideju poznatog patriote, knjizevnika i filmskog reditelja Stanislava Krakova da realizuju film o Srbiji i srpskim stradanjima i pobedama u prvom svetskom ratu. Film su nazvali "Golgota Srbije," a prva verzija koja je prikazana 1930. godine nosila je naslov "Za cast otadzbine." Posto nije bilo dovoljno dokumentarnog materijala, reditelj i scenarista filma Stanislav Krakov izvrsio je rekonstrukciju znacajnih dogadjaja. Filmsko snimanje su obavili Stevan Miskovic i Andra Glisic. Film je izazvao interesovanje publike ali posto je bio bez zvuka ubrzo je zaboravljen. Glisic i Djokic su nastavili traganja za dokumentarnim materijalom i poceli da realizuju novu zvucnu verziju filma, koja je dobila i nov naslov "Pozar na Balkanu." Muziku je napisao kompozitor Milenko Zivkovic, a po zelji autora u film je uneo himne, marseve i popularne pesme koje su pevali Srbi, saveznicki i neprijateljski vojnici. Film je tako i svojevrstan muzicki leksikon, mada je njegova vrednost pre svega u znacaju dokumenata, jer su snimljeni na mestima gde su se dogadjaji odigravali a ucestvovale su cesto i jedinice koje su to prezivele. Premijera je bila predvidjena za rano prolece 1940. godine ali je film i pored pohvala na zatvorenim projekcijama cenzura zabranila 16. marta 1940. godine sa motivacijom ... da bi film svojom sadrzinom nepovoljno uticao na odnose nase drzave prema stranim drzavama." Apeli nisu pomogli i film su morali da preprave i tek skracenu verziju cenzura odobrava 21. avgusta 1940. godine. Film se zatim uspesno prikazivao i za samo sest dana u bioskopu "Luksor" videlo ga je 18 789 Beogradjana. Odiseja filma se nastavlja tokom drugog svetskog rata ali ni posle oslobodjenja nove vlasti nisu bile zainteresovane za srpska stradanja. Film je bio bunkerisan a potom predat Jugoslovenskoj kinoteci koja je uspela da od porodica vlasnika otkupi ostali filmski materijal i izvrsi restauraciju zabranjenog filma. Istrazivanje i restauraciju integralne kopije obavio je Stevan Jovicic. Jugoslovenska kinoteka i RTS PGP A lecture by Head of the Department for Justice and Human Coordination Center of FRY and Republic of Serbia for Kosovo & Metohia.

EVENT: A LECTURE ON ETHNOMUSICOLOGY TITLE: DATE:April 20th 2002. TIME:6:30pm LOCATION: MIT Room 6-120 LANGUAGE: English. DESCRIPTION: Ethnomusicologist Ranko Stevanovic will present the results of several years of his on-site research, illustrated with original sound recordings and photographs, discussing an area of folk heritage which has not been the focus of ethnomusicologists in the past. He will explore in detail the melody, rhythm, harmony, form, and function of this particularly articulated speech of shepherds, their manner of communication with animals, in addition to their use of bells. A thorough analysis is undoubtedly justified, in view of the fact that the sheperds' primitive musical exchange gave rise to the development of numerous subsequent vocal and instrumental forms. About the lecturerRanko Stevanovic obtained his M.A. degree at the Department of Ethnomusicology of the Belgrade Music Academy. He is the author of several papers and has lectured at international meetings of ethnomusicologists. Additionally, he has collected and published anthologies of traditional children's games and songs.

DATE: Friday, February 15th 2002. TIME: 7pm PLACE: MIT Room 4-237 LANGUAGE: Serbian COST: Free! DESCRIPTION: We will show "March on Drina" (serbian: "Mars na Drinu"), a Serbian movie, without English subtitles. Details that follow are also in Serbian.

ULOGE: Ljuba Tadic, Aleksandar Gavric, Nikola Jovanovic, Vlada Popovic, Gidra Bojanic. MUZIKA: Vasilije Mokranjac, Stanislav Binicki. ZANR: Ratni. OPIS FILMA: Film je prica o vojnicima koji su ostvarili nemoguce, koji su se borili, patili, marsirali kilometrima bez odmora i na kraju trijumfovali. To su mali, obicni ljudi iz Srbije, seljaci, gradjani, intelektualci koji su simbol svog vremena i obicaja. Prica je portret sudbine srpske artiljerijske baterije u prvom svetskom ratu koja se na Ceru suocila sa austrijskom vojskom. Prateci bateriju na njenom putu ka Ceru, upoznajemo se sa njenim vojnicima i njihovim karakterima. Svi oni, oficiri i redovi, gradjani i seljaci, bogatasi i siromasi, sa sobom u bitku nose svoje sumnje, brige i radosti. Ovo nije hronika Cerske bitke, vec drama srpskog naroda u teskim ratnim vremenima (DELTA KLASICI). O novim drzavnim praznicima mozete vise procitati ovde.
