In memory of Doncaster College Scawsby in 1984

Yorkshire people are so specific and different .They can be English, Irish, Scotish or multicultural people coming from India , Pakistan Arabs and else e where ,therefore Yorkshire people are intelligent and welcoming .

I know that the south like London has different views on Yorkshire, but the north remains more accurate and warm .Doncaster college remains one of the intellectual meeting of all genre of students.I happen to have O and A levels and i have quite enjoyed my two years with my drama mates ,my birds and my teachers like Ean Watson and others.

Everybody agrees that Syria and Egypt are having a peaceful fighting as far as drama is concerned .However, Moroccan public is well aware of syrian drama because it is beautiful and so noble that it tackles sensitive subjects that the Arab world is undertaking nowadays such as Arab Identity, self reliance , Arabic language and Arab dignity and this resumes in Bab al Hara which is a story about Damascus in the 1930s (monstersandcritics.com/smallscreen/features/article_1364617.).

" It portrays the Damascene traditions in the first half of the past century, focusing on values and social relationships, especially between family members.Its sweeping popularity is so remarkable that children in Damascus and other Syrian cities mimic the series' characters during their street errands. The old Damascene dialect used in the series has become trendy among schoolchildren and in office."

wheras Egyptian drama squeezes itself into more melodramatic scenes resumed into more comercial cinema in which the audience feel no more at ease but it just can't find the patience to stay in front of tv sets or silver sceens to wach, states an independent journalist.

Bilingual people may be interested by film-makers.

Switching languages can also switch personality: study

Tue Jun 24, 11:33 AM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - People who are bicultural and speak two languages may unconsciously change their personality when they switch languages, according to a U.S. study.
ADVERTISEMENT

Researchers David Luna from Baruch College and Torsten Ringberg and Laura A. Peracchio from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee studied groups of Hispanic women, all of whom were bilingual, but with varying degrees of cultural identification.

They found significant changes in self perception or "frame-shifting" in bicultural participants -- women who participate in both Latino and Anglo culture.

"Language can be a cue that activates different culture-specific frames," the researchers said in a study published in the Journal of Consumer Research.

While frame-shifting has been studied before, they said this research found that people who are bicultural switched frames more quickly and easily than people who are bilingual but living in one culture.

The researchers said the women classified themselves as more assertive when they spoke Spanish than when they spoke English.

"In the Spanish-language sessions, informants perceived females as more self-sufficient and extroverted," they said.

In one of the studies, a group of bilingual U.S. Hispanic women viewed advertisements that featured women in different scenarios. The participants saw the ads in one language - English or Spanish - and then, six months later, they viewed the same ads in the other language.

Their perceptions of themselves and of the women in the ads shifted depending on the language.

"One respondent, for example, saw an ad's main character as a risk-taking, independent woman in the Spanish version of the ad, but as a hopeless, lonely, confused woman in the English version," said the researchers.

Khalid Khachan's lucid work for SNRt trainers.

Now It becomes clear that after a top secret report on conditions of training at SNRt , handed already to the number one in television.The same report has been given to Emmanuel Hoog and to the new comer of the INA ( Institut National de l'audiovisuel ) ,Khalid Khachan must consider his job as a training responsible and see to those who are promoted professionally in their jobs ,professionalism and flexibilty are may be the lonely instruments that Khalid should have to observe his colleagues , states a Tv journalist .

Khalid Khachan comes from an artistic family;his father was a shef - d'orchestre and has worked for SNRT x- RTM for many years along with abdessalem Amer and El Rashedi.However , everybody agrees that Khalid is a decent guy who has marked good points especially he has gone through many different jobs.


The PDG of SNRT has a wide imagination to choose Khalid for this job ,meanwhile Khalid's task is not easy ,he must follow his SNRT agents as far as their professional performances(hope springs in the humain breast ) .

Surprisingly ,Too many INA teachers are asked to go back to France, because of that mysterious report given to INA spearhead meanwhile , according to these teachers "courses given to SNRT technicians are well taught and practiced , but not considerably matched with mentalities of some bureaucrats who oppose fervently the teachings of INA people."The best example goes to tv tools and machinaries mastered by the technical director namely, wild angles recently bought from LTS ( 10.10 mm never given to the direction of production ),sound machines (sophisticated mics still hidden somewhere) ,cranes ( Ultra crane ,Cinejip and Jimmy Jim,,, ) lightings like Chinese balls ,diffuse lightings and more ,,,.

Mysterious agressions against journalists and technicians from SNRT

Mysteious agressions continues to happen against SNRT journalists and technicians especially now we have two agressive cases (see Houssaine Garcshane and Mohammed Essaraj Eddaou ) .Now that IFEX , the Canadian agency which protects journalists in the world, is investigating about this affair ,Local responsibles either in SNRT and police should make serious measures so as to stop these atrocities against artists,journalists and technicians .


El houssine has produced for his box of dreams SNRT, several film documntaries in which one of them is primed in Tunisia .
Now,El Houssaine GUARCHANE is editing Talghounja 's dailies at Snrt which is about a berber tribe singing and making some rituals to ask for rain which has been late to come to life.
This artistic work is a 26 m film documentary called Talghounja narrated by Sakina BOUAACHRINE with the co-ordination of Hamza EL ADAWI as a production designer .Luckily,Snrt has started to produce some intelligent film documentaries like this one and other ones like Al Madinate Al Oum focusing on seducing Moroccan viewers and the world .

There is nothing sweet like freedom.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

Martin Luther King said this saying to Americans but it can applly to any country in the world like my country Morocco.

Exams in television , a courageous act designed by SNRT to go higher professionally

Yesterday,the 11th of june, too many technicians,journalists ,speakers and directors were happy to see that SNRT had hung official results for the 2007 exams .It is obvious that it is the first time in history of RTM that was used once to belong to the Moroccan state ,but now it becomes SNRT, a semi-compagny belonging to the same state ;that TV technicians have all rights to go through exams so that to improve their grades and go higher in rank .
It is certain that this is a praiseful decision that SNRT bureaucrats have taken but let's not forget that this courageous act has come out of a very hard and painful struggle of Tv Technicians and journalists that started ever since tv was still at Mohammed 5 theatre in Rabat .

Dr Faust,a german legend ,in Rabat.

Faust (German for "fist") or Faustus (Latin for "auspicious" or "lucky") is the protagonist of a classic German legend in which he makes a pact with the Devil. The tale is the basis for many literary, artistic, cinematic and musical works, such as those by Christopher Marlowe, Goethe, Mikhail Bulgakov, Thomas Mann, Hector Berlioz, Franz Liszt, Washington Irving, and Charles Gounod.

The name "Faust" has come to stand for a charlatan alchemist (some claim "astrologer and necromancer") whose pride and vanity lead to his doom. Similarly, the adjective "Faustian" has come to denote acts or constellations involving human hubris which lead eventually to nemesis.

CCM or Al Jamaa Al Hadariya in Salé risk nothing to buy The Opera House for people ( Cinema l'opera ) owned by El Charkaoui brothers .

The Box office made by CCM in 2003 ,Morocco imported 378 Hindi films , the number of fans were 3 783602 and ticket revenues were 36101026. Although CCM confirms that these stastics are not fully complete , but in 2006 up to june we had 264 Hindi films and ticket revenues were 581800." This applies to Fairouz cinema which is nearly the only cinema that resists to buy copies of hindi films meanwhile U S A movies remain secondary and uninterested by Rabat cinemagoers and bollyphiles apart from those who prefer intelligent cinema .

Moroccan governement just marvel at cinema home theatres on their way to vanish for ever which is an act of indifference and irresponsability .Fairouz cinema still resists to mediocrity of bad moroccan directors in Morocco , it also resists to cabled televisions and i don't think it is the fault of piracy that causes the shut down of cinema theatres ,i think cinemagoers are still looking for cinema of good quality in cinemas . There are very spaceful and wonderful cinemas still to fit in our 21 first century like The Opera House owned by El Charkaoui brothers in Salé .The commune of Salé,( El Jamaa Al Hadariya) could have bought all rights from the family of El Charkaoui to may be save cinephilia of so many people in this millennium town called Salé which eventually will join Rabt to become a cosmopolitan city very soon .

مديتني - آمي Madinati - Oummi , a film documentary directed by Allal El Alaoui, is in the desk of SNRT

Ce documentaire dépend artistiquement des faits réels raconté par une très jeune fille nommé Zahra et son père .Ce film est inspiré par le chef-d'œuvre de Friderico Felllini “ Roma “.

L’utilisation du montage chronologique et le développement des méthodes de reportage journalistique seront l’outil nécéssaire pour la réalisation de ce documentaire dans lequel on prétend à submerger les cinéphiles et télé-spectateurs dans une situation brûlante ou la vie se manifeste ferventement dans les domaines sociales ,économiques ,politiques et culturels de ces deux magnifiques villes appellé Rabat et Salé .

Finalement, les sujets filmés seront monographiquement traités et enrichés par des interviews d’intervenants professionnels,artistes, cinéphiles notament des gens simples qui se metamorphosent et vient douleuresement et joyeusement dans ces deux villes extra-ordinaires.
