Abbas Kiarostami, Palme d'Or-winning Iranian film-maker, dies aged 76

Celebrated Iranian director, whose Taste of Cherry won Cannes' top prize in 1997, remained in the country after the Islamic revolution and continued to flourish


Abbas Kiarostami, the multi-award-winning Iranian director whose 1997 film Taste of Cherry was awarded the Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival, has died aged 76.
"Abbas Kiarostami, who had travelled to France for treatment, has died," reported the semi-official Isna news agency on Monday. Iran's house of cinema confirmed the report, Isna said. Kiarostami had been diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancer in March 2016, and had undergone a series of operations, including in Paris last month.
Speaking to the Guardian from Tehran, Oscar-winning Iranian film-maker Asghar Farhadi – who had been due to fly to Paris to visit his friend later tonight – said he was "very sad, in total shock".
     
            Read more      "He wasn't just a film-maker," Farhadi continued, "he was a modern mystic, both in his cinema and his private life." Farhadi said Kiarostami's success enabled many generations of Iranian film-makers: "He definitely paved ways for others and influenced a great deal of people. It's not just the world of cinema that has lost a great man; the whole world has lost someone really great."
Mohsen Makhmalbaf echoed the sentiment, saying Iran's cinema owes its global reputation to his fellow director, but that this visibility did not translate into a greater visibility for his work in his homeland.
"Kiarostami gave the Iranian cinema the international credibility that it has today," he told the Guardian. "But his films were unfortunately not seen as much in Iran. He changed the world's cinema; he freshened it and humanised it in contrast with Hollywood's rough version."
"He was a man of life, who enjoyed living and made films in praise of life – that's why it's so difficult to come to terms with his death," he said.
Kiarostami's rise to the status of one of the world's foremost auteurs started from relatively humble beginnings. He was born in 1940 in Tehran, and originally studied painting at the University of Tehran; Kiarostami began working as a graphic designer and went on to shoot dozens of commercials for Iranian TV. In 1969 he joined Kanun (the Centre for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults), where he ran the film department, and was able to make his own films. In 2005 Kiarostami told the Guardian: "We were supposed to make films that dealt with childhood problems. At the beginning it was just a job, but it was the making of me as an artist."


In the two decades he worked for Kanun, Kiarostami made films continuously, including his first feature, The Report, in 1977. He managed to negotiate the transition triggered by the Khomeini revolution, re-working the films he made to try and accommodate the demands of a new set of censors. Unlike many of his film-industry peers, Kiarostami decided to remain in Iran after the revolution, likening himself to "a tree that is rooted in the ground". "[If you] transfer it from one place to another, the tree will no longer bear fruit ... If I had left my country, I would be the same as the tree."
It was while he was at Kanun also that Kiarostami embarked on what would become known as the Koker trilogy, the three films that established his international reputation as a director of considerable sensitivity and intellectual rigour. The first, Where Is the Friend's Home?, was completed in 1987, and its sympathetic story of a schoolkid's attempt to return a classmate's exercise book, won Kiarostami's first major award, the Bronze Leopard at the Locarno film festival.
Life, and Nothing More..., finished in 1992, saw him blend fiction and documentary in his account of his search for the earlier film's cast after the devastating earthquake of 1990. Said Jean-Luc Godard after seeing the film: "Film begins with DW Griffith and ends with Abbas Kiarostami." In 1994, Kiarostami made Through the Olive Trees, which revolved around the making of a fictional second instalment of Life, and Nothing More.


However, the hostile censorship climate meant he had already left his job at Kanun, shortly after completing another film, Homework, in 1989. Close-Up, from 1990 was an agile docu-fiction about a man who had been put on trial for impersonating Kiarostami's fellow film-maker Mohsen Makhmalbaf. At the same time, Kiarostami wrote and produced films by other directors, most notably The White Balloon, the 1995 directorial debut of Jafar Panahi, who had worked on Through the Olive Trees as an assistant director.


Kiarostami's upward ascension as a major auteur was confirmed in 1997, when his seventh feature, Taste of Cherry – a study of a man driving around looking for someone to help him commit suicide – was awarded the Palme d'Or (jointly, with The Eel, directed by Shohei Imamura).
Kiarostami's subsequent career alternated between formal features, such as the poetic drama The Wind Will Carry Us and Ten, which exploited Kiarostami's fondness for filming and photographing in cars, and outside ideas such as ABC Africa, which arose after Kiarostami was invited to film Aids orphans in Uganda, and Tickets, a three-part film made with Ken Loach and Ermanno Olmi. He also moved into what can only be described as minimalist documentary with Five (subtitled Dedicated to Ozu), which comprised a series of lengthy shots of Spanish landscape, and Shirin, composed of a series of headshots of women watching an unseen film.
Latterly, Kiarostami found it increasingly difficult to film in Iran, as political strife grew in the wake of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's rise to power. His next two films, Certified Copy and Like Someone in Love were filmed abroad, in Italy and Japan respectively, even if they dealt in Kiarostami's familiar themes of authenticity and relationships. Both were screened at Cannes, and the former won the festival's best actress award for Juliette Binoche.
Last week, Kiarostami was among 683 film-makers asked to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; many commented on the belated nature of the invite. In 2003, The Guardian ranked him the sixth best working director.
Kiarostami was married once, in 1969, to Parvin Amir-Gholi, but they divorced in 1982. They had two sons together: Ahmad (a mulitmedia publisher) and Bahman (a documentary-maker).

Suicide's Alan Vega Dead at 78

Alan passed peacefully in his sleep last night, July 16. He was 78 years of age.
Alan was not only relentlessly creative, writing music and painting until the end, he was also startlingly unique. Along with Martin Rev, in the early 1970's, they formed the two person avant band known as Suicide. Almost immediately, their incredible and unclassifiable music went against every possible grain. Their confrontational live performances, light-years before Punk Rock, are the stuff of legend. Their first, self-titled album is one of the single most challenging and noteworthy achievements in American music.

 Ahmed Zewail, Nobel laureate who sparked a 'revolution in chemistry,' dies at 70

Ahmed H. Zewail, a winner of the Nobel Prize in chemistry who grew up on the banks of the Nile River in Egypt and used the heat from his mother's Arabic coffee maker in one of his earliest excursions into science, died Aug. 2. He was 70.
The California Institute of Technology, the Pasadena-based university where he had been a faculty member and administrator for years, announced the death but did not provide further information. He was a resident of San Marino, a suburb of Los Angeles.
Dr. Zewail, the first Egyptian and Arab to win a Nobel in science, fulfilled the ambitions of his devoted mother, who, well before he received his PhD, hung on his door in the family home a sign declaring him "Dr. Ahmed."
He received the Nobel in 1999 for work that used lasers to probe the intricacies of chemical reactions as they occurred step by step, instant by instant, over intervals of time almost too small to imagine.
His pioneering work came in an area known by the exotic sounding name of femtochemistry, where femto is a prefix used to suggest quantities and time intervals on the order of a millionth of a billionth of those encountered in the everyday world.


Pulses produced on such a scale by laser made it possible for Dr. Zewail to speak of chemical reactions and transformations occurring over areas of atomic dimensions and within almost infinitesimally small moments of time.
Just as slow-motion photography revealed aspects of common events hidden from the scrutiny of the unaided human senses, "femto" techniques, embodying laser capabilities, gave science new insights into how chemical reactions proceed.
"Professor Zewail's contributions have brought about a revolution in chemistry and adjacent sciences, since this type of investigation allows us to understand and predict important reactions," the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced at the time of the Nobel awards ceremony.
With such advances, it became possible to watch as chemical bonds formed, broke and formed again. It offered the opportunity to witness each step of the process by which atoms and molecules absorbed energy and expelled it, or exchanged it, or used it to rotate and vibrate.
Permitting unprecedented understanding of chemical behavior at its most detailed, Dr. Zewail's advances in femtochemistry pointed the way to greater control over the actions of atoms and molecules. It enhanced scientists' ability to create new compounds and to manipulate old ones.
Ahmed Hassan Zewail was born in Damanhur, a city about 100 miles northwest of Cairo, on Feb. 26, 1946. He grew up in Desouk, another northern city, in a family of four children, and steps away from a landmark mosque whose imam encouraged broad-based learning. "Education was in the fabric of our culture and religion," he later wrote.
His father was a government employee who also ran a private business. His mother, a homemaker, doted on her four children and on the science-minded Ahmed — her only son — in particular.
"As a boy it was clear that my inclinations were toward the physical sciences," he wrote in a Nobel autobiographical statement. "Mathematics, mechanics, and chemistry were among the fields that gave me a special satisfaction. Social sciences were not as attractive because in those days much emphasis was placed on memorization of subjects, names and the like, and for reasons unknown (to me), my mind kept asking 'how' and 'why.' "
"In my teens," he added. "I recall feeling a thrill when I solved a difficult problem in mechanics, for instance, considering all of the tricky operational forces of a car going uphill or downhill. . . . In my bedroom I constructed a small apparatus, out of my mother's oil burner (for making Arabic coffee) and a few glass tubes, in order to see how wood is transformed into a burning gas and a liquid substance. I still remember this vividly, not only for the science, but also for the danger of burning down our house!"
He graduated in 1967 from Egypt's Alexandria University, where he also received a master's degree in chemistry in 1969. Because of the Arab-Israeli wars of that era — and the United States's backing of Israel — the Egyptian government did not offer financial support or other incentives to study in America.
Instead, Dr. Zewail was left to find his own fellowships and scholarships to leave for the West. He did, ultimately completing a doctorate in chemistry from the University of Pennsylvania in 1974.
Subsequently, he went to the Berkeley campus of the University of California to continue his research on an IBM postdoctoral research fellowship. In 1976, he joined the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) as an assistant professor and later became the first holder of a chair named for Linus C. Pauling, one of the few winners of two Nobels (one for chemistry and one for peace).
Dr. Zewail wrote hundreds of scientific papers and contributed to more than a dozen books. He held medals, prizes and other honors from governments and scientific institutions around the world.
A dual American and Egyptian citizen, he was a member of President Obama's science and technology advisory panel from 2009 to 2013 and also served as the president's special envoy for science to the Middle East.
In 1989, he went to Saudi Arabia to receive the King Faisal International Prize. While there, he met Dema Faham, the daughter of a man receiving the same prize. They married months later. Besides his wife, survivors include their four children, according to Caltech.
Dr. Zewail worked for years to raise money and generate political interest in creating a science-based university and research campus near Cairo. The Zewail City of Science and Technology was inaugurated in 2011 to stem a brain drain of Egypt's talented scientists.
In the aftermath of the 2013 Egyptian military coup and previous uprisings at Tahrir Square and elsewhere, he wrote an opinion piece in the New York Times that lambasted the country for emphasizing the expansion of the security apparatus and "mega resorts and vanity projects" over educational opportunities. He said the restless and teeming young people had few avenues to a stable and decent life.
"A part of the world that pioneered science and mathematics during Europe's dark ages is now lost in a dark age of illiteracy and knowledge deficiency," he wrote, adding that he wished the $1.5 billion in annual support that the United States gives to Egypt would accent "scientific and industrial cooperation" instead of going overwhelmingly toward the purchase of military equipment.

Zaboravismo da javimo da je umro jedan od naših najvećih savremenih slikara.


Preminuo Ljuba Popović 

Slikar Ljubomir Ljuba Popović preminuo je u 82. godini života posle duge i teške bolesti. Biće sahranjen u utorak, 16. avgusta, u Valjevu. Opelo počinje u 13.30 u Hramu Vaskrsenja Gospodnjeg, a sahrana je zakazana za 15 časova.


Ljuba Popović je bio jedan od najcenjenijih savremenih srpskih slikara, kako u domaćim, tako i u međunarodnim krugovima.

Rođen je 1934. godine u Tuzli. Osnovnu školu i gimnaziju završio je u Valjevu. Studirao je na Akademiji primenjenih umetnosti i Likovnoj akademiji u Beogradu.
Nakon prvog, dvonedeljnog boravka u Parizu, posvećenog najvećim delom posetama Luvru, učestvovao je u nekoliko grupnih izložbi u Beogradu (Novi oblici nadrealizma i relacionizma, San i mašta).
Godine 1963. nastanio se definitivno u Parizu. Upoznaje Renea de Solijea, koji se odmah interesuje za njegovo delo, i između njih dvojice rađa se prijateljstvo zasnovano na uzajamnom poštovanju.
Stigavši u Pariz previše kasno da bi upoznao Bretona, a po prirodi i inače nezavisnog duha, nikad nije pripadao grupi nadrealista. Uprkos tome, o njegovom delu pisali su Alen Boske, Alen Žufroa, Andre Pjer de Mandijarg i Patrik Valdberg, a kasnije i mnogi drugi autori, među kojima Etijambl, Žan-Klarans Lamber, Žil Nere, Gustav Rene Hoke, Žan-Kristof Bajli, Žan-Luj Ferije, Izor de Sen Pjer, An Tronš, Saran Aleksandrijan, Mišel Elenberger.
Ljubino slikarstvo, okvalifikovano vrlo često i olako kao "fantastično", podrobnijom analizom otkriva svu svoju složenost i dubinu.

Slike su ispunjene čudesnim, nestvarnim bićima, očima što vas posmatraju iz prikrajka, vampirušama i androidima koji borave u isprepletanom mnoštvu neobičnih predmeta, rastinja i arhitekture, zajedno – a jedni drugima nepoznati.
To umnožavanje i nagomilavanje formi u suštini je vrlo pažljivo organizovano, građeno često oko stabilnih geometrijskih struktura. Boje, složene sa smelošću i suptilnošću, ukazuju na vrhunsko poznavanje slikarskog umeća. Sve skupa otkriva čoveka široke kulture, istančanog poznavaoca kako istorije slikarstva, tako i istorije civilizacije uopšte.
Od 1991. bio je član SANU van radnog sastava.
Prošle godine u Galeriji RTS-a bila je otvorena retrospektivna izložba u čast slikarevog 80. rođendana, koju je posetilo oko 20.000 ljudi, a u izdanju RTS Izdavaštva objavljena je i njegova monografija koja nosi naziv "Ljuba".
