Celebrating Cinema in Pondicherry

 Shoe Story is going to Pondicherry! We in Taiwan feel a special cinematic connection to the city, as whole streets in Taichung were once transformed into Pondicherry for scenes in Ang Lee’s Life of Pi.

The Indo French International Film Festival aims to be ‘truly an international platform for all filmmakers beyond language barriers across the globe.’ We’re delighted to participate and encouraged by the kind recognition. Greetings to director Satheesh Kumar and all our friends at IFIFF!

《鞋故事》要去本地治裡！ 我們台灣人與這座城市有著特殊的電影聯繫，因為台中的整條街道都曾因李安的《少年派奇幻漂流》中的場景而變成本地治裡。

Indo French Film Festival 旨在成為“真正為全球所有電影製作人提供超越語言障礙的國際平台”。我們很高興參與並受到這種認可的鼓舞。 嚮導演 Satheesh Kumar 和我們在本地治裡的所有朋友致以問候！

Gold Leaf: Where to find David

Image
I am sometimes asked where specifically to find appearances of the supporting character I play in Chunyang Lin’s 12-episode dramatic series Gold Leaf  (茶金). Here’s where. Scenes with A T Beaune as David Episode 1 39:00 – 40:39 ‘Good things come with good wine.’ Episode 2        07:55 – 10:00 ‘Is Mr Fu-ji OK?’ Episode 6 45:20 – 46:49 ‘Is this the American Army #6 tea of legend?’ Episode 10    40:00 – 40:29 ‘The World Tea Expo happens every four years.’                               40:30 – 42:19 ‘This is my chief tea master.’                               42:20 – 44:00 ‘I am leaving Jardine.’                               51:42 – 53:29 ‘Our only condition.’    ...

1 Cocoa Beach, 1969 (from ‘Five Vignettes’)

Five Vignettes from 1001 Nights and Other Short Stories by A T Beaune    ©   2014   All rights reserved. We do not remember days. We remember moments. – Cesare Pavese 1 Cocoa Beach, 1969 The launch of a Saturn V sends a bead of sun into the sky. You squint. The sky darkens around that bead of fire pushing its pale dart. Neighbours stand on their lawns around you, gazing skyward. Only after the glowing bead clears the rooftops does the sound arrive. You feel the rumble as much as hear it. It rolls toward you, takes over your ribs. Windows rattle, birds flee. Over the rumble now sprouts a burning crackle. The crackle and the rumble merge into a single growl of power. On my portable radio a tenor  voice speaks through static. ‘We’ve got us a roll program.’ The climbing fireball sprouts a trailing cloud. It lengthens into a snaking white spiral. ‘Roll complete and pitch is programming.’ Crackle. ‘Copy that,’ says another voice. ‘Stand by for Mode ...

Why not accredit news sources like we do schools?

We’re seeing much discussion today about how to improve news. Bad international actors now flood our information spaces with falsehoods. Interviewers ask naïve questions of their subjects rather than risk losing access. News organisations have reduced staff to the point that ‘journalism’ increasingly refers to pundits who comment on news rather reporters who seek it out.  What can we do to improve things? What follows is one suggestion. Let’s do some curation—and, in the process, shift the reward system. Why not have an international, independent accreditation network for news sources? It would work much as accrediting organisations now do for universities. Information sources would be periodically evaluated by research and journalism professionals using objective standards.  These services would then be assigned tiered ratings. AP, for example might earn a designation of Gold Medal News Source at the end of the day; Discovery Channel might be a Bronze Medal source. Sensatio...
