| Interfilm North America has launched its new website. The site had been created to build and strengthen a network of communicators who have an interest in contemporary films that explore social justice, human values, and how religion and spirituality are reflected in cinema. |
Interfilm is an international network which brings together interested individuals and institutions concerned with film and theology, church and cinema. Interfilm was founded at the initiative of representatives of German, French, Dutch and Swiss Protestant film work in 1955. It is affiliated to the World Council of Churches (WCC), Geneva. Today, it includes Anglican, Orthodox and Jewish experts as well as other Protestant church denominations.
One of Interfilm’s main tasks is to be present at international film festivals with its own jury. For their awards, the juries select films that stand out due to their artistic quality; that reveal human attitudes or expressions of the Gospel or prompt discussion; and which sensitize viewers to spiritual and social questions and values.
At the 41st General Assembly of Interfilm, held 12 June 2010 in Copenhagen, Denmark, Philip Lee, WACC's Deputy Director of Programmes, was elected as one of three Vice-Presidents. He will represent the interests of Interfilm North America on Interfilm's Steering Committee. Visit the new site here. |

| "No hay historia muda. Por mucho que la quemen, por mucho que la rompan, por mucho que la mientan, la historia humana se niega a callarse la boca. El tiempo que fue sigue latiendo, vivo, dentro del tiempo que es, aunque el tiempo que es no lo quiera o no lo sepa. El derecho de recordar no figura entre los derechos humanos consagrados por las Naciones Unidas, pero hoy es más que nunca necesario reivindicarlo y ponerlo en práctica: no para repetir el pasado, sino para evitar que se repita." |
