Hi Bruno,

I hope you are well. It is a sad time for Paris but be brave and know that the word is praying for Paris.

I just wanted to thank you again for your help with my film "Foxed".  We had a great run on the festival circuit and are now making the FOXED feature film.  

I have posted the short film on Vimeo and in the Foxed Blog.  Please pass it on.  It is a true film festivals.con success story. Make a short, play the festival circuit... Get a deal to make the feature!

Thanks again!

James

Dear Bruno:

My thoughts are with you and your family and colleagues.

It took me most of the weekend to hear back from my family and friends in Paris, and although they were okay, they are reeling from the heinous acts, as I’m sure you are and  I just wanted you to know my heart is with you.  J’ai deux pays, mon pays et Paris, and I am heartbroken but stand with you and yours.

We are so lucky to work around the world, and not to see people’s differences, but to see each other as friends and colleagues who make and disseminate images to entertain, not to divide.  I only wish we could reach the people who are filled with hate.

Best, Bonnie Voland IM Global Film

Dear friends and colleagues,

Only today is possible for me to react. Our thoughts are for those who have their life stolen. For families whose members were cowardly killed or injured. Our thoughts are for any human being that is a victim of the insanity of a bunch of criminals. We have to unite around the world our voices, our strength and our capacities to make this a better world.

We have to fight for peace, for friendship among individuals, Countries and Cultures. Cinema is a powerful arm against ignorance, against terror and fundamentalism. We shall use it widely.

Behind terror and terrorist attacks is just a coward criminal strategy to make us fear, to provoke changes in our lives and in our minds. We have to fight back with more cooperation more culture and more cinema.

Hello Bruno,

What just happened in France and before in other countries are barbaric acts caused by the self styled Islamic  state, an organized terrorism threatening  our basic values of freedom, tolerance and justice.  My sorrow goes to all who have suffered with the hope that there is the will power  by all countries concerned to destroy  the Islamic state through effective military and political actions.

We were shocked and shaken by the events in Paris. Thanks God the team of Filmfestivals is safe. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of the victims. Everything seems surreal as if it happened in another world, not on our planet which has everything to be a happy place for the people. At this time we should bring ourselves together and think, think, think - what we can do to stop this sensless .

Questa volta non restiamo in silenzio: Parigi ci appartiene

Muri invisibili (Parigi ci appartiene)

Federico Chiacchiari

La guerra finisce quando i muri vengono abbattuti. Ma lo sappiamo bene: i muri più difficili da abbattere sono quelli invisibili agli occhi, i muri dei pregiudizi, i muri culturali.

Dans Paris (Parigi ci appartiene)

Simone Emiliani

Non si può stare in silenzio. Ma non ci sono neanche le parole. C'è solo voglia di Parigi. Attraversata mentalmente come sul filo di The Walk prima di essere lì il prima possibile

Non l’abbiamo “scampata”! (Parigi ci appartiene)

Valentina Carnelutti

Ma questa guerra è in corso da tempo! E questi morti e feriti e traumatizzati ci sono continuamente! E ci passano davanti e accanto e ci chiedono aiuto ogni giorno. (dal Blog di Valentina Carnelutti)

Parigi, città aperta (Parigi ci appartiene)

Lou Reed – John Cale – Nico – (Le-Bataclan – 1972) – Femme Fatale (Parigi ci appartiene)

On January 29, 1972 Lou Reed and John Cale, founding members of the Velvet Underground, reunited with Nico, German actress, model and musician, for a special concert at le Bataclan nightclub in Paris.

Peace for Paris (Parigi ci appartiene)

Redazione Sentieri Selvaggi

Questa volta non staremo in silenzio. Sconvolti, devastati dalle stragi di Parigi, abbiamo deciso di continuare a lavorare con i nostri strumenti, che sono il cinema e la cultura. Parigi ci appartiene

Dear Bruno,

It is horrible what happened in Paris last night. And the world press and celebrities are informing us of it. 

With reference to your first item, Justin Bieber did not draw that symbol of Peace for Paris. Read who the artist really is in this Slate article Meet the artist behind the Eiffel Tower peace sign drawing. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/11/14/paris_shooting_eiffel_tower_peace_sign_an_interview_with_artist_jean_jullien.html?wpsrc=sh_all_tab_tw_bot.

In fact, the creator of the drawing was a French illustrator named Jean Jullien, who posted it to his Twitter page around midnight Paris-time with the caption “Peace for Paris,” and watched it swiftly take flight.

Bonjour Bruno, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of France! The radical Islamists are going to kill us all! And we are letting it happen! Fondly, with prayers.
