Persian filmmaker Vahid Vakilifar’s latest feature ‘Taboor’ (2012) is making its US premier at the 12th Tribeca Film Festival. This is his second feature; his first was ‘Gesher’ in 2010. Vahid produced, wrote and directed ‘Taboor’. I interviewed him at the Electra Palace in Thessaloniki, Greece during the 53rd Thessaloniki Film Festival. Here is what he had to say:
ME: What does ‘Taboor’ mean in Farsi?

'My Awkward Sexual Adventure' (2012) is one of my favorite Tribeca films. This is a romantic comedy sure to have you laughing and crying simultaneously; it uniquely explores the complications of intimacy and relationship, an innovative look at the ageless battle of the sexes. Just when I thought I’d seen it all when it comes to romantic (sex) comedies, this one sneaks out of the depths of freezing ‘Winter-peg’ (Winnipeg), Canada, and heats up the screen with love, sex...
The 12th edition of the Tribeca Film Festival hosts the bittersweet final chapter of the 'Before' trology. ‘Before Midnight’ (2013) has received electric international buzz since its world premier in January at Sundance and at its international premier in February at the Berlin International Film festival.
Many films have attempted to capture the truth about love, but few have ever gone the lengths of the ‘Before’ trilogy. It began with an in...

JAMES FRANCO PRESENTS "The Director" (2013) A FILM BY CHRISTINA VOROS.
In the 1960s, American movie icons traveling to Rome noticed the exceptional craftsmanship of a local leather shop founded by Guccio Gucci in 1921. They returned to Hollywood and appeared in films with the bags and shoes that would help to make the Florentine brand an international fashion powerhouse. Ninety years later, Gucci's FridaGiannini is taking inspiration back from the cinema—as well as art,mus...

Tribeca Film Festival
By Ioannis Pappos
In quantum laboratories around the world you can see an object in two different places at once. Yes, at the same time. Laugh, I used to, but quantum physics is a radical science. I studied electrical engineering, was taught Heisenberg’s theory that atoms are not things but rather tendencies, and still I can’t totally believe that one object can be in more than one place at the same time. Heisenberg was the first paradox in my adult life, so...

All you skateboarders living in Rhode Island during the 90′s, will recall “Club Babyhead” in Providence, Newport Skatepark in Newport, RI, ”Rocky Point” Amusement Park Halloween raves, and, of course, the RISD graduate, Shepard Fairey, and his “Andre the Giant Has a Posse” stickers plastered on every lamppost.

As we know, documentaries have become a better source of obtaining facts than the contrived nightly news on the major broadcasting networks and many have sought out other sites like Youtube, docs, and social media as supplements that ultimately lead to their thought processing and critical thinking abilities.
Listen to two of America’s most well known activists talk shop about serious topics like Occupy Wall Street, healthcare, teachers, education, unions, 9/11, the loss of priv...
