“People told me this was an unadaptable book, so the only logical thing to do was to try to adapt it,” says writer, producer and filmmaker Ava DuVernay of her work taking the award-winning title “Caste” from page to screen. In conversation with Pat Mitchell, DuVernay talks about the resulting film, “Origin,” and discusses her process for turning ideas into pictures that pack a punch.

    Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people—they always go away, sooner or later. You can’t hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart.

      2/3 Next month will mark the second anniversary of the Russian aggression against Ukraine. EU ministers discuss the EU’s continued support to the country, including in the military field. They are joined remotely by Ukrainian foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba. EU leaders will meet on 1 February at a special summit to discuss new financial aid to Ukraine.

      3/3 Last September, Azerbaijan conducted a military operation in Nagorno-Karabakh, leading to mass displacement of over 100 000 Karabakh Armenians. The Council exchanges on the situation in both countries.

    I saw a film out of Fulton County Georgia in 2019… it showed suitcases of pristine mail-in ballots brought out from under tables after press and political opponents were sent home… the response of media to it was extraordinary… they said what I saw was usual business… nothing to see. 😂

    Referring to someone as “remarkable” is exclusive to members of their own tribe. Animals have no interest in human remark abilities. Does that make us more special or more important than they?
    It’s very apparent that we have disregarded THEIR interests. We overestimate our value…given that our species offers the planet absolutely nothing!

    It’s the only reason people still support the democrat party. They control almost all of mainstream media and Hollywood. Most people are sheepish and gladly follow false narratives without questioning.

    what an uninspiring interview – had to trun it off at 8:47

    I didn’t know what it is about, I didn’t understand What I would get out of it

    I expected from the title a talk (as know and loved from TED) about how film changes the way we see the world

  18. @mbergamin16

    Is that why the majority of new films being made suck and have messaging inserted everywhere? 😂

    The trailer did nothing to attract me to see the film. The conversation and the critical response to the film does attract me as soon as it is posted on Netflix.

    I was privileged to see this as a surprise film. (AMCs screed unseen). I had no idea what 8 was going to watch. This was one of the most, if not THE most important films of our time. Well done Ms. Duverney! I truly hope every 16 year old gets to see this, along with their parents and even Grandparents. I want people to see and be able to discuss this film.
