Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

Nagrada za „Liniju života“

Uprkos pandemiji virusa, zasedao je žiri 53. Međunarodnog filmskog festivala u Hjustonu – WorldFest, i filmu „Linija života“ Darka Bajića dodelio nagradu „Zlatnu Remi nagradu“ u konkurenciji dokumentarnog filma.

Nakon uspešne premijere filma ,,Linija života“ koja je, u prepunoj sali Kombak Dvorane otvorila prošlogodišnji Beldocs, dobitnik godišnje nagrade UFUS-a za najbolji dokumentarni film 2019. godine, biće prikazan na Drugom programu RTS-a u utorak 5. maja u 20 časpoa. Tog dana navršava se 75 godina od oslobođenja logora Mauthauzen.

„Linija života“ je film o čuvenom slikaru i profesoru Milošu Bajiću, ali film o životu u XX veku koji je podneblju Balkana doneo periode velikih razaranja i velikih obnova. O surovosti rata u kojem je ljudski život vredeo onoliko koliko je čovek bio sposoban da radi u monstruoznoj mašineriji koncentracionih logora. O 11 miliona onih koji nisu dočekali šansu da nakon tog rata žive, rade, stvaraju i stvore porodice. I o tome kako je glavni junak ovog filma svojom maštom i umetnošću pobedio smrt.

Đorđe Bajić

Serbian Americans: History—Culture—Press

by Krinka Vidaković-Petrov, translated from Serbian by Milina Jovanović

Learned, lucid, and deeply perceptive, SERBIAN AMERICANS is an immensely rewarding and readable book, which will give historians invaluable new insights, and general readers exciting new ways to approach the history​ of Serbian printed media. Serbian immigration to the U.S. started dates from the first few decades of 19th c. The first papers were published in San Francisco starting in 1893. During the years of the most intense politicization of the Serbian American community, the Serbian printed media developed quickly with a growing number of daily, weekly, monthly and yearly publications. Newspapers were published in Serbian print shops, while the development of printing presses was a precondition for the growth of publishing in general. Among them were various kinds of books: classical Serbian literature, folksong collections, political pamphlets, works of the earliest Serbian American writers in America (poetry, prose and plays), first translations from English to Serbian, books about Serb immigrants, dictionaries, textbooks, primers, etc.
