Coca - die Taube aus Tschetschenien
Link: sevenload.com
von 7video
Ihre Eltern nannten Sainap Gaschaiewa "Coca" - die Taube. Geboren in der Verbannung in Kasachstan, wurde sie Geschäftsfrau und zog vier Kinder groß. Seit 1994 dokumentiert sie, was in ihrer Heimat täglich geschieht: Verschleppung, Folter, Mord. Zusammen mit anderen Frauen hat sie Hunderte von Video-Kassetten versteckt. Die will sie jetzt nach Westeuropa schaffen.
Was Präsident Putin zur "antiterroristischen Aktion" erklärt, hat Züge eines Völkermords angenommen. Bis zu 30 Prozent der tschetschenischen Bevölkerung könnten getötet worden sein. Die Weltöffentlichkeit schweigt; sei es aus Unwissen, Hilflosigkeit oder Opportunismus. Sainap Gaschaiewa hofft, dass es zu einem Tribunal kommt und die Schuldigen bestraft werden - auf welcher Seite sie auch stehen. Ein Kampf gegen Windmühlen?

KATIE MELUA - bald wieder in Deutschland!
Nach ausverkauften Konzerten in ganz Europa, mannigfaltigen Auszeichnungen und ihrem zweiten Album "Piece by Piece", das sich mittlerweile auf vierfach Platin zubewegt, kommt Katie Melua im Sommer nach Deutschland zurück. Die Erfolgsstory der heute 22-jährigen begann 2003 mit der Veröffentlichung ihres Debutalbums "Call of the Search", das sich weltweit über 4 Millionen Mal verkaufte. Ihr zweites Album "Piece by Piece" hielt sich allein in Deutschland über 72 Wochen in den Top 20 und steht weltweit bei über 4,5 Millionen verkaufter Einheiten. Katie Melua wurde vom Verband der europäischen Musikindustrie (ifpi) zudem als "erfolgreichste Künstlerin Europas" ausgezeichnet und erhielt den World Music Award als "erfolgreichste englische Künstlerin weltweit". Darüber hinaus wurde sie jüngst mit ihrem zweiten ECHO 2007 als "beste internationale Künstlerin" geehrt.Bei ihren Konzerten bezaubert Katie, unterstützt durch ihre brillante Band, mit Charisma und dem ihr eigenen überwältigenden Stimmvolumen. Mit Songs wie "Nine Million Bicycles", "Piece by Piece", "The Closest Thing to Crazy" oder "Call Off The Search", schaffen sie und ihre herausragenden Musiker es immer wieder unvergessliche Konzerterlebnisse zu präsentieren. Über die zierliche Sängerin mit der glasklaren Stimme, den dunklen Korkenzieherlocken und den hypnotischen Augen wurde schon viel geschrieben, doch der Trierische Volksfreund brachte es kürzlich auf den Punkt: Katie Melua ist die schönste Verbindung zwischen zwei Noten.

Nutsa A Young Georgian Blogger Present Us A Nice Video
>>> Theatre and Film University Girls' Ensemble
We, Theatre and Film university students decided to create girls' ensemble some months ago. Since february we have repetitions and we work really hard. But we are still without name :) Our head is Lela Goliadze, daughter of famous singer Amiran Goliadze (Ensemble "Rustavi"). She, herself is a member of ensemble "Kelaptari". Our ensemble is not famous, we haven't had concert and people don't know us yet. So, Kaukasus is the first, where people can listen to us :) I took this repetition yesterday. Hope you'll enjoy it...

Khor Virap Monastery
XVI Century AD - Lusarvat Village, Ararat Marz
Khor Virap is one of the most popular destinations in Armenia for a number of reasons, primarily because it is where Grigor Luisavorich (St. Gregory the Illuminator) was imprisoned for 13 years before curing King Trdat III of a disease. This caused the conversion of the king and Armenia into the first officially Christian nation in the world in the year 301. To this day you can visit the underground chamber he was imprisoned, located in the nondescript St. Gevorg Chapel apart from the main church. Be careful in this building, there are two holes which can be climbed down but are unmarked. There is one smaller chamber by the door which has some stairs and then a twist and a ladder leading to the small room. There is another hole in the main room, to the right of the altar, with a long ladder leading down into the larger cistern where Grigor Luisavorich was imprisoned. It is actually impressive in size for an underground prison cell, and due to candles and a lack of air circulation was very stuffy, much like the other smaller chamber. Even with the candles it is rather useful to have a flashlight. I blew out all of the candles to preserve some oxygen when I went down there.
This monastery rests atop a little hill in an otherwise very flat Ararat Valley. You can make it out from the highway a few kilometers away and it grows bigger as you turn off the highway and drive towards it. When you arrive you will be as close to Mt. Ararat as you can probably get in Armenia. It is huge and towers over Khor Virap on even hazy days. You can actually see the green belt along the Arax River which denotes the boundary with Turkey from the monastery and there are some military lookout posts around this area. At night there are lights visible on Mt. Ararat, these are American listening posts and Turkish bases.
The large St. Astvatsatsin church at Khor Virap was built in the 17th century and is typical in design, but with a lack of virtually any decorative carving, or elements. It is located in a fort like complex with a nice courtyard. For most Armenians this is a very important site, and is easily accessible from Yerevan for a half day trip, or even better as a stop along the way to Southern Armenia or Karabakh.
On weekends you will often see weddings, performances, snack stands, and doves being sold for release. In the summer it can be very hot here, so morning might be the best time to come. The gates are locked at night time as early as 5:30pm.

The hill of Khor Virap and those adjoining were the site of the important early Armenian capital of ancient Artashat or Artaxiasata, built by King Artashes I, founder of the Artashesid dynasty, around 180 BC. According to legend, the Carthaginian general Hannibal, who spent his twilight years in flight from a vengeful Rome, inspired the founding of the city. There are extensive excavations of residential and other structures. Well-preserved mud-brick fortifications line the N slope of the third hill from the NE. Ancient coins and potsherds can still be found. The site was destroyed by the Persian King of Kings Shapur II, and the capital was moved to Dvin by King Khosrov III (330-338). The course of the rivers has evidently changed, since ancient authors said that this spacious and well-laid-out city was located at the confluence of the Araxes and Metsamor rivers.

Tinantin Panchvidze: Abende voller Georgien. Beim abendlichen spaziergang heute, habe ich die BATUMI auf der Strasse singen hören. Sie waren wieder im Terzo Mondo. Diesmal privat, sassen draussen und sangen für sich hin...
Paar Sekunden später gehörte ich auch zu ihnen. Es war so nah und intensiv.. Die verzauberten Passanten blieben stehen und verlangten nach mehr und mehr Musik; aus den Balkonen und Autos hörte man Klatschen, Bewunderung.

Memorial / WITNESS co-production 2007 26 Min. 5 Sek. - 15.05.2007
www.witness.org
“Crying Sun” (Memorial/WITNESS co-production 2007) tells the story of people from the Chechen mountainous village of Zumsoy and their struggle to preserve cultural identity and traditions in the context of military raids and enforced disappearances by the federal army, attacks by guerilla fighters, and subsequent displacement. By helping to articulate the voices of Zumsoy villagers in the public and policy spheres, the video calls on local and federal authorities to end impunity for human rights violations and to restore policies for the return of mountain villagers to their ancestral homes. In the international advocacy fora, the video will help bring visibility to calls for justice in Chechnya.

Grozny, Chechnya: A Russian special forces member surveys the wasteland that is now central Grozny. In this spot stood a hotel, government buildings and residential apartments. Russians forces destroyed the area, called Freedom Square, and later bulldozed it to avoid Chechen fighters taking up positions in the rubble of a second Stalingrad.

In an age of conflict, civil war and the (re)construction of urban spaces, destruction has become an alternative form of architecture, challenging both the traditional role and place of architecture and various forms of international supervision. Volume examines this new realism through a variety of different studies, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon and Kosovo. Order this title now!
Destruction is no longer the outcome of blind rage, but increasingly a matter of meticulous calculation. Destruction has become an alternative architecture’ Ole Bouman
‘Cities Unbuilt’ is the first comprehensive research on the architecture of destruction. This issue offers a detailed analysis on spatial and social implications of destruction in various parts of the world and discusses issues around migration and displacement, ‘warchitecture’ and ‘post-warchitecture’, counter-heritage, cultural interventions and post-conflict reconstruction strategies.
While architectural records regularly hit the news with positive developments – even higher towers, smarter technologies, stunning designs, and iconic buildings – the general daily news is negative: man-made destruction caused by conflict and war and natural disasters make up large parts of the news’ content. Remarkably there is no discourse on these subjects within the global professional community of architects, yet there is a strong correlation between destruction – the unbuilding of cities – and the construction of buildings.
In this age of realism destruction marks a dramatic proliferation of the unbuilding of cities worldwide challenging the traditional notion of architecture as the vehicle of hope and progress. Volume explores the less discussed creative sides of destruction, a realm where architecture and design play an important part. Volume shows how they are engaged in destruction, but also what options architecture has to confront these situations. Even in destruction there is hope.
Three Cahiers are central to this issue – Cahier South Caucasus, Cahier Kosovo and Cahier Lebanon – framed by a series of introductory essays by Ole Bouman, Robert Bevan, Ester Charlesworth, Caroline Arnulf, Andrew Herscher and the concluding creative agenda with contributions by Christian Ernsten and Malkit Shoshan, Nick Shepherd and Kai Vöckler amongst others.
