IDF recruitment
Lately a new campaign was launched in Israel against people who shirk of their military service.
A video commercial was diffused in the main TV channels to declare that "a real Israeli doesn't evade from the military service.

"A true Israeli goes to the army", they've been telling us in an aggressive campaign against draft evasion, which expects us to accept the notion that those who don't go to the army, are not as worthy. this massive campaign was endorsed on billboards, buses and ads in TV.

several of us have decided to come up with an alternative ad using less models and more sane criticism. please pass on this alternative version to show that the militaristic approach is not the only way to go. you can post this on your website, or anywhere else.

So Mrs Cohen, Tracy-Ann Oberman & Harvey B Brown
www.ukjewishfilmfestival.org.uk
A classic Jewish joke is told simultaneously by Graham Norton, Boy George, Brian Ferry, Davina McCall, Vanessa Feltz and thirty other Jewish and non-Jewish stars in a short film by actress Tracy-Ann Oberman and filmmaker Harvey B Brown to launch this year's UK Jewish Film Festival (UKJFF).
Now in its fourteenth year, the UKJFF is the foremost Jewish film event in Europe and is one of the leading specialist festivals in the country. It has a reputation for giving first showings to both major new movies, as well as independent documentaries and shorts.
This year's festival - held at cinemas across central and north London, from 4-21st November 2010 - comprises 66 films from countries including the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Israel, China, the UK and the US. It includes 35 UK Premieres and two special previews of films to be released in 2011, as well as workshops for emerging film makers, panel discussions and first showings for the winners of the Pears Foundation Short Film Fund at the UKJFF.
To be screened in cinemas countrywide, the short film with contributions from over thirty Jewish and non-Jewish celebrities, sees Mrs Cohen trying to save money on the personal ad announcing her husband's death in the Jewish Chronicle, (the Festival's media sponsor).
The short film also launches the UKJFF's first ever comedy strand, Comedy Clash, which asks whether comedy can or should be expected to make a difference in tackling racism and prejudice. It will include special live comedy events and discussions with contributions from Josh Howie, Sky Movies's own "Movie Geek", David Baddiel and leading Muslim comedian, Shazia Mirza.

TAKE AWAY SHOWS
The 'Take away shows' video podcasts (in French : Concerts à emporter) have been created in 2006 for La Blogotheque by Chryde, who wanted to shake things up and find another way to share music, and Vincent Moon, who wanted to film music differently. Since then, other directors across the world joined this project, among others Jeremiah for Kidam.
Every week, La Blogotheque invites an artist or a band to play in the streets, in a bar, a park, or even in a flat or in an elevator. What makes the beauty of it is all the little incidents, hesitations, and crazy stuff happening unexpectingly. Our goal is to try and capture the music just like it happens, without preparation, without tricks. Spontaneity is the keyword.
Camille
In 2005 she released the album Le Fil, which was produced in collaboration with English producer MaJiKer. This album incorporated an avant-garde concept — a string, or thread ("le fil"), which was a drone that persisted throughout the entire course of the album. All of the songs in this album are based on the exploration of the voice, with only a double bass or double bass and keyboard as accompanying instruments.
Camille w/ Barbatuques
Camille-God is Sound
new piece ‘God is Sound’ comprising chants from different religious traditions: Christian, Sufi, Buddhist, Jewish, Shinto, Hindu, and including Bach’s Infinite Canon
