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.

A conversation with Fr. Stamatis Skliris and Fr. Marko Rupnik on contemporary Christian art

In these timely conversations led by Fr. Radovan Bigovic, many issues are introduced that enable the contemporary reader to deepen and expand his or her understanding of the role of art in the life of the Church. Here we find answers to questions on the crisis of contemporary ecclesiastical art in West and East; the impact of Impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract painting on contemporary ecclesiastical painting; and a consideration of the main distrinction between iconography and secular painting. The dialogue, while resolving some doubts about the difference between iconography, religious painting, and painting in general, reconciles the requirement to obey inconographic canons with the freedom essential to artistic creativity, demonstrating that obedience to the canons is not a threat to the vitatlity of iconography. Both artists illumine the role of prayer and ascetisicm in the art of iconography. They also mention curcial differences between iconography in the Orthodox Church and in Roman Catholicism. How important thse distinctions are when exploring the relationship between contemporary theology and art! In a time when postmodern "metaphysics' revitalizes every concept, these masters still believe that, to some extent, Post-Modernism adds to the revitatiztion of Christian art, stimulating questions about "artistic inspiration" and the essential asethetic categories of Christian painting. Their exceptionally wide, yet nonetheless deep, expertise assists their not-so-everday connections between theology, ar, and modern issues concerning society: "society" taken in its broader meaning as "civilization." Finally, the entire artistic project of Stamatis and Rupnik has important ecumenical implications that aswer a genuine longing for unity in the Christian word.
