ZagrebDox 2011 hosts MOMz Hot ROCKs

Many thanks to the amazing town and staff of the 2011 ZagrebDox International Documentary Film Festival held last week, February 26th-March 6th in Croatia. An incredible mélange of North, South, East and West. The people are overwhelmingly gracious and nice, the food and drink simply wonderful. Thank you again for hosting MOMz Hot ROCKs as part of the Musical Globe Programme. I was one of only two Americans to attend, a true honor and memorable screening. The best part was seeing the translation to Hrvatski jezik.

COOL IT ROCKS IT!

Awesome Mama Ondi Timoner directs COOL IT, a bold new vision from Bjorn Lomborg, author of "The Skeptical Environmentalist."

It opens this Friday on select screens, look it up, it's a go to/keep it in mind movie. The conversation continues about what we can do individually and globally to address environmental concerns. It debunks much of the information in An Inconvenient Truth and poses multiple strategies that will take increased research and development as a society as a whole. I saw it this evening at the 92Y Tribeca with Ondi and Bjorn present, I hope the reception everywhere is as grand. The film is dense with information, simultaneously entertaining and engaging. A striking endeavor that piques the brain to imagine what we can accomplish on a macro level in our micro world. Congratulations to the filmmakers, another relevant act for change.

Arts in the One World conference presents MOMz Hot ROCKs and so much more

Arts in the One World is an annual gathering; this is the fifth convening. Pulling together students, faculty, practitioners and activists across disciplines, from immediate and international communities, framing presentations and conversations open to the school and the general public. AOW explore various ways artistic, political, and historical purposes intersect (through reconciliation, the recovery of historical memory, and advocacy for justice).

First convened in January 2006 by Erik Ehn, then Director of the Theater Department at CalArts, currently Head of Playwrighting at Brown University, this year the conference expanded to the Brown campus, March 17-21.

AOW is truly unique and conjures powerful moving dialogue, performance and presentations that give voice to those sometimes pushed aside, asunder or simply forgotten and ignored.

MOMz Hot ROCKs is truly grateful and honored to have been a small part, screening Saturday, March 21, 2010.

Anyone who has time to explore and be part of Arts in the One World will not only become more informed and aware of world communites, but will see and feel the direct connection we all share no matter what side the issue or world we are standing on.
