Film "Love Hunter – priče iz njujorškog taksija" na turneji po Americi

Posle veoma uspešne premijere u Njujorku, film “Love Hunter – priče iz njujorškog taksija”, kojeg je Njujork Tajms nazvao “jednim od osveženja njujorške filmske scene”, kreće dalje na američku turneju.

“Turneja počinje u Čikagu a zatim slede i Vašington i Los Anđeles, a dodaju se i novi gradovi poput Toronta i San Franciska. Biće ih verovatno dodato još, jer su nas kontaktirali ljudi iz cele Amerike i pitaju kad ćemo doći i u njihov grad”, kaže Brane Bala, jedan od režisera.

Ova muzička komedija, bazirana većim delom na njujorškim avanturama Milana Mumina, legendarnog frontmena kultnog novosadskog benda “Love Hunters”, govori o ljubavi i praćenju snova. Mumin u filmu igra samog sebe dok kao taksista u Njujorku pokušava da sakupi novac za snimanje svog prvog američkog albuma.

.

“Drago mi je da se publika uspela poistovetiti sa glavnim likom koji prolazi kroz razne avanture ali i tegobe koje su, čini se, neizostavni deo svake priče o potrazi za snovima i, naravno, ljubavi”, kaže Milan Mumin.

Film je svoju američku premijeru imao u Njujorku u novembru 2014, gde je publika ovacijama pozdravila pored Milana Mumina i ostale glumce među kojima su Jelena Stupljanin, Eleanor Hačins (Eleanor Hutchins), Anika Peterson (Annika Peterson), Majkl Denola (Michael DeNola) i drugi.

“Srećni smo što se publici toliko svideo film i morali smo da se odazovemo pozivima ljudi iz drugih gradova i da krenemo na ovu turneju”, kaže režiser Nemanja Bala.

Turneja počinje u Čikagu simbolično na Dan Zaljubljenih 14. februara, a biće još dve projekcije 17. i 18. februara u čuvenom Gene Siskel Filmskom Centru. Zatim turneja nastavlja dalje u Vašington i Los Anđeles u martu. Sve informacije o turneji mogu se naći na sajtu filma: lovehunterfilm.com ili preko LeitmotivArts na www.facebook.com/LeitmotivArtsNYC

On The Holy Liturgy

by Bishop Athanasius Yevtich

The Divine Liturgy is at the center of Orthodox Christian life. It is through the Eucharist that the faithful are united with Christ and therefore with one another. Every Eucharistic gathering is an image and a reality of the Heavenly Liturgy, i.e. unceasing Synaxis of angels and saints around God’s throne. Thus the Liturgy is the proclamation of and a real image of God’s Kingdom in this world.

In this television interview conducted by the Logos, a renowned Orthodox theologian and retired Bishop of Zahumlje and Hercegovina, his Grace Atanasije, brings forth these essential points citing historical development of the Liturgies bringing to light the present misunderstanding of certain Liturgical actions and movements.

Bishop Atanasije aptly points out the necessity for Liturgical renewal, i.e. moving away from passive liturgical attendance to active participation and immersion of the soul and body into a full communion with Christ.
