Written by Brian Gallagher   
Wednesday, 30 March 2011

Dear Friends,

We haven't been to the opera as a group for quite some time.
 
Sandra Martinovic, a former Committee member of CSYPN, is currently assistant director to Dioneo's new production of 'The Emperor of Atlantis'. She's told us she is one of the first assistant female opera directors from Croatia to work in London.
 
 
It would be very nice to go as a CSYPN group to support this project, a one act opera, and to listen to an opera which has been described as 'powerful'.

Dr Branko Franolic

It is with some sadness that we report the passing of prominent Croatian linguist Dr Branko Franolic on 10 January. As many of you know, he was a good friend to CSYPN, and a number of you will recall his lecture in Cambridge back in 2001. CSYPN also co-published his 2008 book on the Croatian language.

An excellent feature on his life by Marcus Tanner can be seen here: http://bit.ly/fHeS2S

There will be a service in his memory at the Croatian church in London on Sunday 30 January. It will begin at 4PM and the address is: Church of Sacred Heart, 112 Horseferry Road, SW1P 2EF. Nearest tube: St. James’s Park. Map: http://bit.ly/fwkIb0

Our thoughts and sympathy go to his family.

Croatian film premiere on Sunday 25 April
Written by Brian Gallagher   
Thursday, 22 April 2010
Dear Friends,

We’ve been asked to notify you of a Croatian film premiering on Sunday at the East End film festival. Link and Details below


http://www.eastendfilmfestival.com/index.php?/programme/#25

Metastases (Metastaze) (UK Premiere) + short
Genesis, Sunday 25 April, 8.30pm

82 min | Croatia | 2009 | Dir: Branko Schmidt

Four young junkies without jobs, future or any kind of perspective, spend their time drinking, fighting, shoplifting, stealing, fanatically cheering for their local soccer club, and drug smuggling.

Metastases can be described as Croatian “Generation X” or “Trainspotting”, with it’s depiction of recent social problems in Zagreb. It explores the ‘illnesses’ that plague modern Croatia in the wake of war, and reflects the petty hatreds, violence, prejudices and moods hanging over the country with no cure in sight.

The film is being screened at the Genesis cinema, details of its location can be found at:

Play by Ivor Martinic
Written by Adrian Johnson   
Wednesday, 02 September 2009

The Blue Elephant Theatre will be showing a play by Croatian playwright Ivor Martinic, 'The Title of the Drama About Ante is Written Here':

"1,280 children were wounded during the Croatian War of Independence. Inspired by the true story of a young boy who lost both his mother and one of his legs following a bomb blast, The title of the drama about Ante is Written Here deals with the relationship between 12-year-old Ante and his father, long-absent during the war where he had served on the front, and their painful readjustment to post-war life, alone together in their grief yet trying to start afresh."

Photo Exhibition
Written by Adrian Johnson   
Wednesday, 02 September 2009

You are cordially invited to the opening of the exihibition, Medjimurski pilovi [Medjimurje Roadside Shrines]
on Tuesday 8th September, 6 to 8pm, at the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia
21 Conway Street
London W1T 6BN

About the Exhibition
In 'Medjimurski pilovi', Damir Klaic depicts Medjimurje roadside religious shrines in a photographic examiniation. In this exhibition, they appear as intimate messages from the folk: from crucifix to crucifix, from praying post to praying post, from Jesus to Mary, from powerful to local saints - all far from chapels and churches but with the same aim to serve as altars of faith.

The artist offers a photo-safari of the Medjimurje terrain, its villages and fields, away from major roads and highways. These photographs point to a local heritage that describes both people and religion.
