Private is a 2004 film directed by Saverio Costanzo. A debut film by the director, the film is a minimalist psychological drama about a Palestinian family of seven suddenly confronted with a volatile situation in their home that in many ways reflects the larger ongoing conflict between Palestinians and Israel.
Initially selected as the official entry from Italy for the foreign language film category at the 78th Academy Awards, Private was disqualified as its main spoken language is not in Italian (a rule that was changed, effective with the next year's Oscars, partly due to this film). The film has received the Golden Leopard (best film) award at the 57th Locarno International Film Festival.
Mohammad, his wife and their five children live in a large, isolated house located halfway between a Palestinian village and an Israeli settlement. The house, in the crossfire of the two sides, is a strategic lookout point that the Israeli army decides to seize, confining the family to a few downstairs rooms in daytime and a single room at night. Mohammad refuses to leave this home and, reinforced by his principles against violence, decides to find a way to keep his family together in the house until the Israeli soldiers move on.

Genres: Musical,Regia Saverio Costanzo Il conflitto che oppone israeliani e palestinesi è condensato in una caso esemplare di resistenza passiva ma non remissiva, non violenta ma intransigente, di una famiglia palestinese che ha visto la sua casa occupata da una pattuglia dell’esercito israeliano. Quadro di una situazione di occupazione militare come quella in atto nella West Bank, dove la popolazione subisce quotidianamente violazioni della propria vita privata, come l’occupazione della propria casa, con minacce di morte e vessazioni, senza potere né voler reagire, tranne la determinazione a non cedere, a non voler lasciare la propria terra, la propria casa.

_grau is a personal reflection on memories coming up during a car accident, where past events emerge, fuse, erode and finally vanish ethereally … various real sources where distorted, filtered and fitted into a sculptural structure to create not a plain abstract, but a very private snapshot of a whole life within its last seconds … Media critic Matt Hanson, author of The End of Celluloid and founder of onedotzero festival says: "_grau appeals to me because it is organo-tech. it does not deliberately ape the abstract pioneers of abstract cinema, and it is worlds away from the motion graphic masturbation of many of those enamoured by digital animation. seidel's work is impressionistic, melding biological and emotional currents. out of amorphous shapes we make out bones, heads, a hand. a sp...

How do we tell the story of a life? What cruel reduction of an image will stand (in the obituary, the family photo album, the memory of friends) for the years between a grave and a difficult birth? Public Lighting examines the current media obsession with biography, offering up "the six different kinds of personality" (the obsessive, the narcissist…) as case studies and miniatures, possible examples. "Meta-biopic in seven parts. A writer looks at a city and distills from her examination six different kinds of personality." (Athens Festival) “Prolific Canadian experimental filmmaker Mike Hoolboom's Public Lighting surpasses even the beauty of his most recent work, Imitations of Life. Visually dense and hypnotic while brimming with the kind of penetrating ideas one associates with Godard, P...

SUN Project was the first and original PsyTrance act who consequently started the concept of combining Rock/Metal influences with Psychadelic Trance productions back in 1995. Since those days this guys don..t go on stage without electric guitars and drums, beside the more typical computerized equipment. Today you can find some more other acts in this scene who started to use this concept for themselves later. S.U.N. Project is one of the few acts which have kept their name alive in the PsyTrance scene over 11 years now! They released 10 albums on different record labels. These albums are unfortunately sold out completely..But from march 2009 they will be ready for download on I-Tunes, BeatPort and others !

He's been the man in every war before
Fought so brave and nearly froze at Valley Forge
And in the big war he was the man
And now in Vietnam we owe a lot to the private
He has the courage of the knights of old
He's America's strenght standing straight and bold
With gun in hand he is a fightin' man
A courageous man yes we owe a lot to the private
He takes the gun and he points it straight
Straight at the heart of the things that free man hates
We owe a lot to the private
He's some lonely girl's only sweetheart
And he's some mother's only son
And he's some father's greatest pride and joy
Oh that great boy yes we owe a lot to the private
He takes the gun...
