Song for GAZA

oleh Michael Heart
WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)Copyright 2009

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

we'll be there...

everyone is invited!!!

Dari kaca mata aku, azri abu hassan, semestinya bersyukur kerana Awan Mendung Menanti Pelangi dapat di tayangkan selepas Dekan Fakulti Teknologi Kreatif dan Artistik, Prof Hatta Azad Khan membuat keputusan untuk BANNED. Pada 21 Januari 2008, RABU, jam 8 malam bertempat di Pancha Delima Fakulti Teknologi Kreatif dan Artistik UiTM Puncak Perdana anda di jemput hadir menonton dan sesi soal jawab bersama pengarah muda antaranya Zainorhisyam, Azri Abu Hassan dan Jaja Kadir. Selain itu tenaga krew produksi juga akan terlibat bersama dalamsesi soal jawab dari sudut art direction, photography dan producer.

Terdapat TIGA buah filem pendek iaitu iaitu Omah Ciliku Enek Kelambu, Awan Mendung Menanti Pelangi dan Sinkronis.

Butiran Lanjut seperti berikut :

Omah Cilikku Enek Kelambu / The Mosquito Net in My Little House
(Director: Mohd Zainorhisyam, 2008, 11min.) In Javanese with Malay & English subtitles

This simple, slice-of-life story focuses on a peasant who promises his son to buy him a new pair of slippers on the way back from attending prayer. This leads to a night of ‘thought-provoking’ when at home his wife laments over their deplorable state of life during their bedtime conversation.

Awan Mendung Menanti Pelangi / The Rainbow Hides Behind the Cloudy Sky
(Director: Azri Abu Hassan, 2008, 20min.) In Malay with English subtitles

This short pays tribute to and is made in the style of those cloying, overly sentimental Malay melodramas of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Rohani, a college lecturer in her 40s, returns home to seek forgiveness after having a scandalous affair with her Indian student, Raju who is twenty years younger. Will Rohani be forgiven?

Sinkronis / Synchronic
(Director: Jaja Ismail, 2008, 18min.)

A lonely and dispirited photographer contemplates and reminisces over his tempestuous relationship with his former girlfriend when she was treated secondarily after his camera. By fully utilizing images and sound to render its story and to evoke emotional resonance, the short explores themes of love, loss and remorse.

awan mendung menanti pelangi - kena BANNED di FAKULTI TEKNOLOGI KREATIF DAN ARTISTIK, UiTM.

Darah aku membeku. Apabila ketua program skrin memberitahu aku, filem pendek AWAN MENDUNG MENANTI PELANGI kena BANNED dan tidak boleh ditayang pada malam premiere 21 Januari 2008 di Pancha Delima, Uitm Puncak Perdana.

Aku bertanya "Kenapa En Norman?" Lalu dia membalas "Our Dekan, Prof Dr Hatta Azad Khan tak bagi tayang."

Aku menghempas badan aku ke kerusi yang begitu empuk dan enak di bilik ketua program skrin. Aku memandang satu sudut tanpa mengelipkan mata aku yang begitu cantik seperti Tom Cruise. Di dalam kepala otak aku, ramai followers KOPITIAM, rakan-rakan pelajar fakulti menanti tayangan Awan Mendung Menanti Pelangi pada malam tersebut. Seolah-olah aku telah menghampakan mereka semua.

Aku minta maaf wahai rakan-rakan sekalian.
Aku minta maaf wahai team produksi kopitiam dan awan mendung menanti pelangi.
Yang nyata, aku bukan bersalah. Setahu aku, lebih 30 orang sudah menonton filem pendek ini, dan memberi respon yang baik. Tapi hanya satu sahaja MANUSIA yang diciptakan oleh Allah S.W.T ini tidak memberi kebenaran tayangan. Aku tak sanggup menceritakan sebab-sebab mengapa beliau tak bagi tayang... Tanyalah pada Producer aku Marinamirana, P.A aku Byxura dan Ketua Program Skrin, Norman Yusoff.

Sekian,

azri abu hassan

p/s tayangan Awan Mendung Menanti Pelangi akan disiarkan di sebuah art event, LAYAR TANCHAP pada 30hb ini.

SURAT DARI KARYAWAN - 11/1/2009

Semalam, aku melihat rakan seperjuanganku,
pelajar perfileman bersorak di atas kemenangan filem pendek,
Aku turut gembira,
Menepuk tangan,
Tersentuh di hati,
Lalu aku bertanya,
Mungkin belum tiba masanya,
Karyaku diangkat sebagai karya terbaik...

Hanya cukup tercalon sahaja,
Aku kembali melihat rakan seperjuanagnku,
Yang tidak kira warna kulit,
Ini Malay Sia!
Senyum, Tawa dan Sedih...
Bukan bangsaku di atas pentas.

Aku renung kembali,
Adakah karya aku tidak seHEBAT mereka?
Atau karya aku masih ada cacat-cela??
Mungkin,
Arghhh!!!! Persetan kau wahai Sang Juri!
Aku masih kecil ibarat semut mencari rezeki,
Dan aku seorang Karyawan...
