SUMMARY:Southern Circuit tour of independent filmmakers presents "Hillbilly"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring bell hooks\, Ronny Cox and Billy Redden from Deliverance\, director Michael Apted\, activists and writers Frank X Walker\, Crystal Good\, and Silas House\, and musicians Sam Gleaves and Amythyst Kiah\, hillbilly arrives at a crucial moment\, confronting depictions of Appalachian and other rural people on a broad\, national level. \nIt introduces audiences to a nuanced\, authentic Appalachia that is quite conscious of how it has been portrayed and the impacts of those portrayals. The documentary deconstructs mainstream representations while asking crucial questions: Where did the hillbilly archetype come from and why has it endured on-screen for more than a hundred years? How does it relate to the exploitation of the land and people who live there? How do Appalachian and rural people view themselves as a result of these negative portrayals\, and what is the impact on the rest of America? \nQ&A with producer Sam Cole afterwards. \n  \nContact Warren County Public Library at 270-781-4882

SUMMARY:Bosnia and Herzegovina: Then and Now Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The School of Journalism & Broadcasting is excited to announce the opening of a photographic exhibition AND a documentary film screening. \n  \nWEDNESDAY\, JANUARY 31\nJody Richards Hall (MMTH) \n1666 Normal Dr. \nWestern Kentucky University \nBowling Green\, KY \nDIRECTIONS \n  \nGALLERY EXHIBITION OPENING RECEPTION\nJody Richards Hall (MMTH) Atrium: 6:00 pm \nLight refreshments will be served \n  \nBosnia and Herzegovina: Then and Now \nA Visual Exploration of a Country in Change \nOver 50 photographs by Lara Ciarabellini\, Amel Emric\, James H. Kenney\, Jr.\, Jose Lopez\, Matt Lutton\, Dijana Muminovic\, Roger M. Richards and Andy Spyra will be on display January 31 – April 13 exploring the people and places of Bosnia and Herzegovina since the start of the war in 1992 until today.  \n\nDOCUMENTARY SCREENING\nJody Richards Hall Auditorium: 7:30 pm \nSarajevo Roses: A Cinematic Essay \nDirected by Roger M. Richards \nThe film’s director Roger M. Richards\, an award-winning filmmaker and two-time Pulitzer Prize nominated photojournalist who was in Sarajevo at the height of the conflict and has witnessed and filmed its restoration on numerous returns––and who is thus uniquely positioned to share the tragedy’s impact on a great people and a very special place\, will lead a post-film discussion.  \nThe documentary screening\, presented by WKU’s International Year Of program\, is a WKU “swipable” event\, free and open to the public. No parking pass is required after 4:30 pm at the Chestnut Street lot just three blocks from JRH. DIRECTIONS \nFor more information\, please contact Tim Broekema at tim.broekema@wku.edu \n\nABOUT THE FILM\nWhat happens when a modern society implodes? \nImagine waking up to find society collapsed: stores shuttered\, electricity and water shut off\, no food or medicine\, neighbors become enemies and fighting in the streets. \nThat’s what happened in the city of Sarajevo\, only eight years after hosting the 1984 Winter Olympic games. \nThese are stories of Sarajevo: a surgeon turned psychiatrist to understand and heal his PTSD; a tuxedo-clad cellist playing for the dead at massacre sites; a young woman immortalized in a photograph as she flees a sniper’s bullet; and children struggling to survive in an or \nphanage near the frontline. \nWhen Josip Broz\, aka Tito\, the benevolent dictator of the federation of Yugoslavia\, died on May 4\, 1980\, nobody had an inkling of the bloodshed and ruin to come.  In early 1992\, a referendum on independence took Bosnia down the path to war. \nDuring the four-year siege of the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo\, the longest of the 20th century\, hundreds of thousands of artillery\, mortar and tank shells were fired into the city from the surrounding hills.  As each exploded\, it left a crater in concrete resembling a flower.  Citizens stoically painted these “pavement petals” red and called them “Sarajevoroses.”  Some remain today\, fading reminders of innocent blood that was spilled on these streets\, in this once all-embracing city.  The Sarajevo “rose” represents the impact of the war on the lives of these individuals and all citizens of Sarajevo. \nAt its heart\, “Sarajevo Roses” is a meditation on the search for inner peace and recovery after experiencing PTSD from the horrors of war; how the neighbor next door is capable of committing the most inhuman acts; and personal testimony that love\, and living fully in the present\, are the best we can hope for as human beings.  Important lessons for a troubled world. \n  \n \n  \nABOUT THE GALLERY EXHIBITION\nOn display January 31 – April 13 \nGallery Hours \nSunday  |  4:00PM – 9:00PM \nMonday – Thursday  |  9:00AM – 9:00 PM \nFriday  |  9:00AM – 5:00PM \nClosed when WKU is not in session \n  \nABOUT THE PHOTOJOURNALISTS\nLara Ciarabellini \nLara Ciarabellini is an Italian photographer currently shooting between Trieste (Italy)\, Sarajevo and Rio de Janeiro. She received a Master degree in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography\, at London College of Communication\, University of Arts\, in 2012. Her research “A visual comparison of Yugoslavian National Liberation War Movies” will be part of the Research Centre NAM at LCC. Ciarabellini’s work titled Bosnia: If chaos awakens the madness was a finalist in The Aftermath Project 2011 and work of hers has been exhibited at Nursery Gallery – London\, at Savignano OFF Festival 2013\, at AFFGallery – Berlin\, at Officine Fotografiche – Rome\, at National Scientific Library – Tbilisi\, and at The Library Project – Dublin\, Galerija Hran – Sarajevo\, Fodar Biennal – Pleven.Cariocas in Olympia has been exhibited at Kaunas Festival in Lithuania. \nAmel Emric \nPhotographer Amel Emric provides a uniquely intimate view into the lives of refugees fleeing ethnic cleansing in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

SUMMARY:Afghan journalist receives award for international reporting
DESCRIPTION:The School of Journalism & Broadcasting at Western Kentucky University will welcome Afghan journalist Lotfullah Najafizada to campus in late September as the recipient of the second annual Fleischaker/Greene Award for Courageous International Reporting. \nNajafizada serves as the director of TOLONews\, Afghanistan’s first and largest 24/7 news and current events channel\, where he oversees a newsroom of over 100 media professionals in Kabul and news bureaus throughout the country. He has conducted TV interviews with many global leaders\, including former British Prime Minister David Cameron\, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani\, Afghan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. \nIn 2017\, Forbes selected Najafizada among the “30 under 30” top media influencers in Asia. In 2016\, TIME Magazine named him a Next Generation Leader and Reporters Without Borders named him a Press Freedom Hero for his fight for free press in Afghanistan. \n“At 29 years old\, this year’s Fleischaker/Greene Award for Courageous International Reporting recipient\, Lotfullah Najafizada\, has already braved numerous threats while working as a journalist and as Director of TOLOnews\,” said Dr. Loup Langton\, the School of Journalism & Broadcasting’s former director\, who helped select Najafizada for the award. “We’re fortunate to have him join us to talk about the current situation in his country as well as the challenges and rewards of reporting from a country that has faced so much violence and uncertainty for decades.” \nNajafizada started out in journalism as a page designer at a local newspaper in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-e-Sharif. He later began writing and reporting\, which led to a job in the online department at Kabul-based media group MOBY. When the idea came at MOBY to start a 24-hour news station\, Najafizada was chosen to lead it. \nSince assuming the director role at TOLONews\, Najafizada has received threats from the Taliban for his coverage of Kabul affairs. In 2014\, the Taliban attacked several of his colleagues\, and Najafizada made the decision to continue reporting despite the dangers. \nThe Award for Courageous International Reporting is given by the Fleischaker/Greene Fund for Excellence in First Amendment Issues at WKU. The award ceremony and Najafizada’s presentation will be held at 7 p.m. CDT on Thursday\, Sept. 28 in Ransdell Hall auditorium on WKU’s campus. The event is free and open to the public. \nFor more information about Najafizada’s visit to campus\, contact Amanda J. Crawford\, assistant professor of journalism\, at 270-745-6407 or amanda.crawford@wku.edu. \nAbout the Fleischaker/Greene Fund for Excellence \nIn 2008\, Louisville attorneys Jon Fleischaker and Kim Greene created the Fleischaker/Greene Fund for Excellence in First Amendment Issues at Western Kentucky University. The Fund also supports WKU’s Fleischaker/Greene Scholars in First Amendment Studies Program\, which gives top students in the School of Journalism & Broadcasting the opportunity to take an advanced special topics class and brings nationally recognized speakers in journalism and First Amendment issues to the WKU campus.
