Sam Hanna (1903-96), a pioneering filmmaker from Burnley, Lancashire, was dubbed the 'Lowry of filmmaking' by BBC broadcaster Brian Redhead in the 1980s. The well-meant label stuck, even though it misses the variety of Hanna's remarkable output. Hanna's intimate glimpses into the lives of strangers enable us to imagine the possible stories that lie behind the images. Away from mid-century exponents of documentary filmmaking and photography, Hanna shows us humanity and a microcosm of a world in change, where his subjects are caught up in issues far beyond their grasp that we, as onlookers years later, encounter and see afresh. Written and curated by historian Heather Norris Nicholson, Round our way combines stills, essays and archive photography to document Hanna's unique visual record on film, particularly in northern England, but also further afield, during decades of profound change.
Die Geschichte der Annäherung an ein Faszinosum. Und die skurrilen, vergeblichen Versuche, seiner Anziehung zu entkommen. Wie ein magisches Geschehen erscheint der Salzburger Schülerin Hanna Werbezirk die Stimme eines Autors, der im Nachtstudio von Radio Wien zu hören ist. Es ist die des in Frankfurt am Main lebenden Philosophen, Soziologen und Komponisten Th. W. Adorno. Das unausgeführte »W« seines Namens, das für »Wiesengrund« steht, wird zur poetischen Einstiegsstelle in einen Roman, der sich an die Fersen der jungen Hanna Werbezirk heftet. Um Wiesengrund in natura zu erleben, geht sie als Philosophiestudentin nach Frankfurt am Main, wo sie in gänzlich neue Sphären hineingerät. Nicht nur in die politischen Turbulenzen der Zeit, sondern vor allem in jenes magische Feld, das sie selbst um den hazardeurhaften Denker errichtet hat. Über die Begegnungen mit ihm erzählt das Buch in einer Vielzahl von emblematischen Miniaturen. Und vom Denken eines Musikers, eines Poeten der Moderne, der die europäische Aufklärung auf seine Weise weiterschreibt.
Sterne sind aus Plasma und Gas gemacht. Der Vater muss es wissen, ein weit über Salzburg hinaus bekannter Astrophysiker. Hanna Werbezirk hält sie trotzdem für ewig. Und hat wenig Lust, ihm als Assistentin in seinem astronomischen Labor zu dienen. Im Nachtstudio hört sie heimlich die Vortragsfolge eines Autors, dessen Name sie sich merken wird. Wiesengrund. Er könnte hilfreich sein, für sie die Frage nach der Beschaffenheit der Sterne zu klären. Seine Worte, wendig und wandlungsfähig, eröffnen ihr den Blick in eine Welt mit eigenen Gesetzen. Das Gefühl einer Komplizenschaft mit dem radiophonen Mitternachtsbesucher macht aus der Lektüre seiner Schriften ein von Herzklopfen begleitetes Ereignis. Als Studentin der Philosophie reist Hanna einige Jahre später nach Frankfurt am Main, um Wiesengrund in natura zu erleben – und gerät in gänzlich neue Sphären. Die politischen Turbulenzen der Zeit wirken auch in ihre neuen Lebensverhältnisse hinein. Vor allem aber steht sie jenem magischen Feld gegenüber, das sie selbst um den hazardeurhaften Denker errichtet hat. Wiesengrund ist der zweite Roman der Schriftstellerin, Essayistin und Theaterautorin Gisela von Wysocki nach ihrem gefeierten Romandebüt Wir machen Musik. Er handelt von der Annäherung an ein Faszinosum. Und beschreibt die komischen, skurrilen Versuche, aber auch die Vergeblichkeit, seinem beklemmenden Zauber zu entkommen.

Robust health care systems are paramount for the health, security, and prosperity of people and countries as a whole. This book provides for the first time a chronicle of the struggle for, and eventual success of, universal health coverage (UHC) in Tanzania.

From a little before ten years of age Brian McFarlane became addicted to stories told on the screen, and the mere fact that he had difficulty in getting to see the films he wanted - or any for that matter - only made them seem more alluring. But it wasn't just seeing the films that mattered: he also wanted, and quite soon needed, to be writing about them and these obsessions have been part of his life for the next sixty-odd years. Real and reel is a light-hearted and but deeply felt account of a lifetime's addiction. It is one particular writer and critic's story, but it will strike sparks among many others. Though many other interests have kept Brian McFarlane's life lively, nothing else has exerted such a long-standing grip on the author's imagination as film. Editor of the Encyclopaedia of British Cinema, co-editor of Manchester University Press's British Film Makers series, and author of over a dozen critical works on film and adaptation, Brian McFarlane's autobiographical Real and reel can also be read as a biography of the subject of Film Studies itself. ;

An uplifting tale about the power of friendship, finding your place in the world, and realising your dreams while remaining true to who you are. Tumbledown is a little demolition truck growing up in a loving family. His parents go to work every day demolishing buildings with their big wrecking balls. But soft-hearted Tumbledown doesn’t like to destroy. He’d rather build things. He dreams of being a cement mixer. When Tumbledown cries, his wrecking ball swings out and destroys everything it touches. When Tumbledown laughs, his wrecking ball swings out and destroys everything it touches. His soft heart can’t skip a beat without leaving a trail of destruction. At school other students laugh at him, but still he won’t let go of his dream. When Tumbledown makes friends with a feisty troop of metal springs, they hatch a plan to save him from himself. They fan out over his wrecking ball and every time it swings they do their best to absorb the shock. The day comes when the worn-out springs turn to the Wise Old Crane for help. Tumbledown can never be a cement mixer, but maybe there are other ways, better suited to his nature. After some search, the Wise Old Crane finds a new job for Tumbledown at a construction site using his wrecking ball to smooth out the cement on the ground. It’s hard work but Tumbledown is finally happy, and he grows stronger and more skillful with every passing day.
K u n s t / A n g s t EIN ÜBERLEBENSHANDBUCH FÜR DEN KÜNSTLER Von DAVID BAYLES & TED ORLAND Worum geht es bei Kunst? Wohin bewegt sie sich? Welche Widerstände gibt es? DAS SIND DIE FRAGEN, AUF DIE ES ANKOMMT, wiederkehrende Fragen, die sich in jedem Stadium der künstlerischen Entwicklung stellen. Sie sind der Ursprung für dieses Kompendium scharfsinniger Beobachtungen.

Es geht darum, dass du deine Zukunft in die Hand nimmst, den Freien Willen über Vorherbestimmung, die Wahl vor den Zufall stellst. Es geht darum, dein eigenes Werk zu finden.
