Judith Kerr, The Guardian

[rufusdayglo]

RIP Judith Kerr, author and illustrator, perhaps most famous for her iconic Children's book, 'The Tiger who came to tea'. • • • Her family fled across Europe to escaoe Nazi Germany, and she eventually settled in London. She wrote a brilliant series about her family's struggle 'When Hitler stole Pink Rabbit'. Judith saw first hand what fascism did. • • • In these times of rising fascism, remember what our previous generations fought to create. A peaceful, united Europe. Get out and vote today and honour that sacrifice. We are Europe. #restinpeace #judithkerr #thetigerwhocametotea #arthero #Artist #writer #author #jewishhistory #europe #europeanelections #remember https://www.instagram.com/p/BxzTFmMBDYC/?igshid=pcylw1yjgkvl

#あれやこれや #ジュディスカー #judithkerr 前にも書いたけど私は猫と老人の写真が好きだな〜。愛猫と一緒の写真は今のうちにいっぱい撮った方がよいですよ。独居老人とペットの問題とかよく目にするし…相談されたり押し付けられる現場がボヤくのは理解するけど…無責任だとか怒る人達が理解できない。 そんなの黙って助けてあげればいいし批判しないでそういうペットを受け入れる場所を作ればいい。 私は今いる3ニャンで打ち止めと思って暮らしているが…老後にペットと暮らせる事は生きがいになるだろうし幸せな事だと思うよ。高齢ドライバーの問題もそうだけど…高齢者が増えれば普通に起こり得る事だし…ましてや誰もが簡単に運転できる車があって事故が起きるのなんて当然だから。 建前を言うけどみんなが便利で長生きできる幸せな世の中が理想なんだよね〜みなさん。本当に長生きが幸せなのかとか…便利が故のデメリットとか矛盾や問題をよ〜く考える時だと思いますよ。自分だっていずれは老人だし…いずれは弱者になるんだから…。 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx0CXrOh-sQ/?igshid=18c1ctah004aa

Last of my world book day series and its the very iconic tiger who came to tea with the classic 60s brown teapot that Judith Kerr liked to add to lots of her stories. In my second year at uni I did 2 projects, 1 where I looked into Judith Kerr and her life and work and the other project solely looked at the tiger who came to tea. I loved learning all about Judith as she was such an inspirational woman to me and so many. ---- #thetigerwhocametotea #tiger #tigerwhocametotea #judithkerr #bigcat #worldbookdaycostume #worldbookday #worldbookday2022 #cuteillustration #art #childrensbook #illustration #judithkerrbooks #illustrator #leedsbasedillustrator #magic_of_illustrations #picturebookillustration #picturebook #kidlit #childrensbookillustrator #cuteillustrationsketch #watercolour #watercolourandpen #sketchbook #painting #charlotsart #characterdesign #childrensbookart #teapot https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca5NL3vL3BW/?utm_medium=tumblr

@jojo_bridget and I enjoyed our visit to @ntknole last week to visit the Tiger Who Came to Tea exhibition. Being able to see Judith Kerrs actual artwork was wonderful and filled me with childhood loveliness. If you’re in the area it’s definitely worth a visit :) . . . . #JudithKerr #TheTigerWhoCameToTea #WhenHitlerStolePinkRabbit #NationalTrust #KnolePark #Bookstagram #BooksellerHoliday (at Knole Park,Sevenoaks) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5K_z4nAOrP/?igshid=gtazr4420kgq

A RETURN OF SORTS…!

BCN FILM FESTIVAL 2020

WOKE! Film Previews  

by Lucas Avram Cavazos

Guess who's back? I hope this finds you, my lovelies, strong and moving from surviving to thriving. The last time I graced these pages directly and not just via tagged social media samo-samo, a new year was dawning, I was pumped with 2020 vision, and my mom was still alive. Fast forward six months and Lawd knows, our world has seen a global pandemic rip through our continents and our homes, opening eyes and forcing many of us to turn brave new corners showing new mirrors revealing new truths. Again, I hope all is well.

We all have certainly had loads of time to become streaming magnates, and I don't know about you, but between Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Movistar, and HBO Go, there has been a love fest of cinema, docs, series catch-ups and horror nights in my home, so it's made working through this brave, new world quite more palatable. Catalonia's first taste of cinematic normalcy came over the last week as the BCN Film Fest braved the coronavirus restrictions and heralded its fourth annual incarnation, providing a broad spectrum of a host of genres, industry and celebrity sightings, with all films gravitating toward those loved subjects of history and literature. Let's take a peek at some upcoming films that made their Spanish or Catalan, some even European, debuts here in BCN this past week. We’ll start with three of them.

Firstly, we commence with director Matteo Garrone and his glorious retelling of Pinocchio, based on the beloved classic by Carlo Collodi nearly 140 years ago. Starring none other than Roberto Benigni as Geppetto and the cutest of newcomers in pure fantasy wooden form is little Federico Ielapi as Pinocchio. Far be it from me to deny the Disney gods their due but I'm going to trust this version to be much more accurate to the original...full stop. From a few moments in, the sheer silliness of Begnini is so on point that it is instantly impossible to not feel for him as he lovingly constructs his little puppet out of what turns out to be a huge, magic log of wood. What he produces is a rapscallion little tyke that we know as Pinocchio, and he is not a mere simple little fellow. In fact, he's a right louse at times, obstinate and daring but still ever so tied to his human father. His daring nature throws him into the midst of a traveling puppet circus, only to find him then taking an adventure to get back to his dad. What he and his counterparts, found and befriended along the way, help show is that we are usually just trying to get back to the essence of who we are in some form or fashion. Some years ago, Benigni actually created his own interpretation of this dear fable, and it was widely panned. If this was a form of redemption with director Garrone at the helm, mission accomplished. The film won 15 awards at this year's David Di Donatello Awards and swept it clean and is currently, slowly drawing more audiences to the box office till. Maybe not for the youngest but what a great family film. ###-1/2

When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, based on the novel Als Hitler das rosa Kaninchen stahl by Judith Kerr, is masterfully and evocatively served to us in emotional beauty by director Caroline Link, who gave us Exit Marrakech a few years ago. Taking the essence of nostalgia and turning it WAY up, Link and her perfectly cast actors serve us a brutally honest and semi-autobiographical telling of the life of author Judith Kerr, acclaimed German-born British illustrator and writer. Starting in Berlin, Germany 1933, just as Hitler's new forces are commencing their triumph after many a year in German politics, we see a well-known and well-to-do family of German-Jewish heritage quite aware that their opposed and vocal views of the National Socialists will soon force them to flee to Switzerland, before making it to Paris, and then eventually winding up in England. The film chronicles these times over a span of two years. The title is derived from the protagonist Anna Kemper's (the spectacular young actress Riva Krymalowski) need to choose only one plush toy to take before their lives as refugees begin, and she decides to leave her wee rabbit behind in the belief that her dear housekeeper will forward it on to her when able. What grips you is the way director Link draws out the pure nature of a young sister and brother team as they move from proud upper middle-class intelligentsia life to one of glorified refugees. All involved are uniquely aware that they are documenting truth in the face of an ever-increasing fear as Nazi takeover grows stronger. But beyond that, it becomes powerfully moving to watch the manner in which their parents make their harsh reality an adventure-of-sorts for the two young Kemper children. Winsome yet profound, emotional and yet quite comical as well, this is a wonderful piece of historical cinema and well worth the time. ####

Polish director Agnieszka Holland is not a stranger to reproducing works of literature for the big screen… think The Secret Garden and Washington Square as examples. Her latest work takes on a subject that even I, as a history tutor, was not even aware of, frankly. Mr. Jones is based on the true events documenting Welshman Gareth Jones, who stumbled onto a sickening truth. Played by James Norton with odd anxiety (known for playing the imprisoned psychopath on Happy Valley), Jones is also an adviser to David Lloyd George, the former British Prime Minister, so he actually has some wee access to intelligence and as the film is set in the early 30s, his furtive and somewhat intense nature makes him a bit of someone to ignore amongst others of his ilk. But since he had the chance to interview the Führer Hitler whilst travelling, he knows damn well that the Germans want war, and he becomes hellbent to interview Stalin, and so he travels to Moscow, kicking it indie journo-style. What then happens is a side trip to Ukraine, where he becomes aware of and documents the ‘Holodomor,’ (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor), the mighty famine that hit Ukraine from 1932 to damn near ’34. It is reported that nearly four million people died and NOT because of natural causes but due to a deliberate starvation policy, enforced by Stalin. He forced Ukrainians and other workers to cull grain, then sell and distribute it for the most money possible, while waging mass assault, deportation, even execution if any worker flouted the norms. The scenes depicted at this point are incredibly hard to watch, but what makes it even sicker is the way Stalin continues to be lauded by many today and that no one believed Jones when he finally got back to Moscow and the UK. Even George Orwell makes himself known within the film, but that pales in comparison to the heinous truths that the last part of the film brings with it. From passing a dead body on a Ukranian train platform to a scene in which a baby, still alive and crying but aside its dead and frozen parent, is tossed onto a cart with the already deceased, Fighting the inevitable I suppose…but then there’s the horrifying cannabalism scene. It matters not…Holland makes it brutal so we learn about what truly happened. The New York Times correspondent in Moscow, Walter Duranty, played eerily by Peter Sarsgaard to shit-ass perfection, poo-poos the mere notions brought up by Jones, and what is more, the same continues to be said about the atrocities that took place over those two-plus years. Mr. Jones horrifies you into needing to know more. Start with that wikipedia link and then find this film soon in theatres! ###-1/2

Thought I would share some of the work I did last term as part of my theory module. For the module I am focusing on judith Kerr. Last term I went in depth into her life and work. I find her the most interesting woman as she had a very interesting life as a child and young adult and she always seems so upbeat and happy even though some horrible things happened in her life. -------- 1st pic- her in heaven with mog 2nd pic- a jokey drawing of the tiger as a nazi as Rosen as theorised 3rd pic- her thinking about how she was lucky in the war compared to others 4th pic- her working for red cross in ww2 5th pic- reading to her children and thinking she could do better 6th pic- her and her family escaping around Europe before ww2 ------- #judithkerr #thetigerwhocametotea #mogthecat #mogtheforgetfulcat #illustrator #illustration #illustrationstudent #universitywork #uniwork #arttheory #colouredpencils #biographical #leedsbasedartist #leedsbasedartists #charlotsart #drawing #childrensbookillustrations #childrensbooks #kidlit #kidlitillustration #childrensillustrations #sketchbook #traditionalart https://www.instagram.com/p/B9RzI2_B08S/?igshid=1xvvom3e7wgu7
