FRIDAY NOVEMBER 28, 2008, 6th floor, 2-4 pm
\nFREE ENTRANCE: WORKSHOP\u00a0WITH GEORGE PAUL CSICSERY featuring\u00a0an elaboration on the uses of an ethnographic film to\u00a0further the interest of cultural groups, its feasibility, its\u00a0audience, and what sort of subjects lend themselves to\u00a0films, what is involved in becoming a documentary film\u00a0producer (including the career path, contacts, problems,\u00a0the financial aspects, and the work of various levels of\u00a0production), and \u201cpure\u201d filmmaking versus television\u00a0productions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SHOWN AS\u00a0PART OF\u00a0FRIDAY\u00a0AFTERNOON\u00a0WORKSHOP:
\nSongs Along a\u00a0Stony Road, a onehour\u00a0documentary intercutting musical performances, the\u00a0stories in the songs, and personal histories about the\u00a0musicians discovered by Transylvanian ethnomusicologist\u00a0Zolt\u00e1n Kall\u00f3s, who became these musicians\u2019 \u201cguardian\u00a0angel.\u201d As Csicsery tells us, \u201cI am looking for a way to\u00a0depict and preserve pieces of a vanishing heritage. With\u00a0Hungary and Romania now very much a part of the\u00a0global economy and culture, the people, music, and even\u00a0the regional dialects used in the film, are fast receding\u00a0into the past. I hope to capture some of it for posterity\u00a0before it disappears.\u201d Filmed in Transylvania during\u00a01999, 2001, 2002 and 2006 with co-producer Chris\u00a0Teerink of the Netherlands, the project was supported by\u00a0ArtsLink CEC, National Geographic’s All Roads Film\u00a0initiative, and by the Nederlands Thuiskopie Fonds. A\u00a0fine cut of the film was screened as part of National\u00a0Geographic’s Tuesdays at Noon series in Washington,\u00a0D.C., on August 26, 2008.<\/p>\n
