Ah yes, the old time squeeze thing. Since many hands lighten the load, perhaps your appeal to your audience will indeed generate some traffic. I'll do my part by commenting here whenever I have something to add.
Philoso?hy talk is a must listen podcast for me. Thanks for all you guys are doing to keep us thinking.

In addition to my phoned-in nomination for "Kawasaki's Rose" (directed by Jan Hrebejk of the Czech Republic) for the Dionysus award, I would like to make a strong honorable mention for "Na Putu" ("On the Path"), which recently premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival.
Directed by Jasmila Zbanic, who won Berlin's top award in 2007 for "Esma's Secret," the film is set in present-day
Sarajevo. But while "Esma's Secret" revolves around a rape survivor's struggle to conceal her trauma from her daughter, who was fathered by a Serb soldier, Luna, the protagonist in ?On The Path,? has a choice about motherhood.
The film opens on her relationship with Amar, her partner, at cruising altitude (she?s an airline attendant; he?s a flight controller), but fertility issues prevent her from getting pregnant. Once Amar is fired after getting busted for schnapps in his coffee mug on the job, the couple?s relationship is severely tested, but not because of Amar?s unemployment. When an old war buddy offers him a job teaching IT at a rural youth camp that turns out to be an Islamic fundamentalist community, he begins to drift from the western lifestyle he and Luna once took for granted. As a result, both partners are challenged to rethink their repressed war traumas, their love for each other, and their deepest beliefs, while Luna?s longing for motherhood is soon warped by the partner she barely recognizes. The film moves at an easy, natural pace, but its philosophical charge is power-packed.

Hey Alexa:
Good suggestion. And thanks for the great phone call from Berlin. That was way cool. If you get a chance, though, can you move your comment to the Dionysus Awards Post. That way it may generate more discussion.
Thanks
Ken

Hi Ken! I moved the post...sorry it was in the wrong place to start with, but it wasn't loadable anywhere else at first. Will you be uploading the Feb. 28 broadcast of PT soon? I have to send it ASAP to some at Berlinal HQ.
Thanks again for taking my call...It was much more fun talking about that Czech film in English than in German...
Cheers, or Tchüss as they say 'over here' -
