I thought to myself I would tell my story in two perspectives; the long take and the edited version to see if Andre Bazin was right or Pudovkin and Eisenstein. Do you think our life is based on a long take or is just a series of cuts? When we sleep at night couldn’t that just be a big cut? And people, do we see them as a long take or in cuts? I think that when people get tired of life they create the cut ".</span></span></span></span></p></span></span>CaféLitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10386941541485433674noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1734936570480520135.post-69277326161022382892008-12-01T10:40:00.000-08:002008-12-05T10:14:14.993-08:00CafeLitt 100: "History of flag in Iran<b><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-family:georgia,serif;font-size:13;" >Subject: <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">History of flag in Iran</span><span> </span></span><span style="border-collapse: collapse;

This book is a poignant societal and physiological sketch written by young writer. It is written in the form of letters of correspondence between two characters both trapped within the poverty and circumstances of ST.Petersburgs slums. Makar and Varvara , two young lovers , too poor to marry , struggle with poverty all the times. This book demonstrates the beautiful and tragic face of 19 century Russian society.</span><br /></span></div></div></span>CaféLitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10386941541485433674noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1734936570480520135.post-7941036752792499152008-11-14T04:48:00.000-08:002008-11-22T05:54:52.977-08:00CafeLitt 98: World Religions<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTZrqOQ_NRjqMjwE7OeUpIWE3cFNcDxSYXu2S8bPc15OW10xQGLxD_8kv_G_UvEI721Qj8Epw2tyfUXDtxTRStp78RACXn_OmOjxCteEcg6AttCSwLfVi6RX6i8pxeAV1UwuS4E5UwaxPd/s1600-h/world-religion.jpg"><img style="float:right;

In 2004, ecotourism and nature tourism were growing globally three times faster than the tourism industry as a whole. This new industry has also affected Iran and made government and private businesses to take advantage of this opportunity. Because of climate variety and considerable biodiversity, Iran has a good potential for ecotourism development; however, since the main challenge of ecotourism is its sustainability there is a fear among people who are trying to conserve Iran's nature about possible negative impacts of ecotourism on Iran's environment if it is executed without complete respect to accepted principles and policies. If conducted in a true way, ecotourism can be a powerful tool to save small communities cultures, shrinking ecosystems and their wildlife.CaféLitthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10386941541485433674noreply@blogger.com1
