World AIDS Days - December 1, 2005 In commemoration of World AIDS Day, the Public Affairs Section is working with post's PEPFAR team to provide information about HIV/AIDS awareness and USG efforts to combat this disease. This year's theme is "Stop AIDS. Keep the promise," focusing on keeping commitments to stop AIDS at all levels: personal, community, organizational, governmental. It supports the World AIDS Campaign advocacy efforts for the fulfillment of the UN Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS and subsequent policy commitments on AIDS. There is a poster exhibit on the first floor of the Rose Garden this week so please stop by and take a look. We welcome everyone (and your contacts) to attend an information session tomorrow with the Ambassador, Dan Levitt representing PEPFAR, and several PEPFAR partner representatives who will talk about their programs.

On the Waterfront - Editorial Reviews from Amazon.com's Marlon Brando's famous "I coulda been a contenda" speech is such a warhorse by now that a lot of people probably feel they've seen this picture already, even if they haven't. And many of those who have seen it may have forgotten how flat-out thrilling it is. For all its great dramatic and cinematic qualities, and its fiery social criticism, Elia Kazan's On the Waterfront is also one of the most gripping melodramas of political corruption and individual heroism ever made in the United States, a five-star gut-grabber. Shot on location around the docks of Hoboken, New Jersey, in the mid-1950s, it tells the fact-based story of a longshoreman (Brando's Terry Malloy) who is blackballed and savagely beaten for informing against the mobsters who have taken over his union and sold it out to the bosses. (Karl Malden has a more conventional stalwart-hero role, as an idealistic priest who nurtures Terry's pangs of conscience.) Lee J. Cobb, who created the role of Willy Loman in Death of Salesman under Kazan's direction on Broadway, makes a formidable foe as a greedy union leader.

Film Showing: December 23, 2005 Ngày 23 tháng 12 năm 2005 từ lúc 14h00 đến 16h00 IRC sẽ tổ chức trình chiếu bá»™ phim Citizen Kane tại tầng 2, tòa nhà Vưá»?n Hồng, số 170 Ngá»?c Khánh, Hà Ná»™i.

Citizen Kane - Editorial Reviews from Amazon.com's Arguably the greatest of American films, Orson Welles's 1941 masterpiece, made when he was only 26, still unfurls like a dream and carries the viewer along the mysterious currents of time and memory to reach a mature (if ambiguous) conclusion: people are the sum of their contradictions, and can't be known easily. Welles plays newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane, taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. The result is that every well-meaning or tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event. Written by Welles and Herman J. Mankiewicz, and photographed by Gregg Toland, the film is the sum of Welles's awesome ambitions as an artist in Hollywood. He pushes the limits of then-available technology to create a true magic show, a visual and aural feast that almost seems to be rising up from a viewer's subconsciousness. As Kane, Welles even ushers in the influence of Bertolt Brecht on film acting. This is truly a one-of-a-kind work, and in many ways is still the most modern of modern films from the 20th century.
