Community News!
Happy weekend folks! Wherever you are, whatever your situation is—may you find solace in things you care about!
We are having a great time in CINE community. The price of CINE is on the rise! Some may complain about the liquidity—but CINE is by design like that. The only way to get CINE is to participate on the blockchain, engage in the community and earn the coins. One cannot just buy a massive amount of CINE and disrupt that flow.
We regularly and actively curate posts that require genuine attention. Hence, it's way easier for a film enthusiast to accumulate CINE.
We have our pool running quite well and that is a great opportunity to grow on your liquid CINE as well.
Know more on how to add to our liquidity pool here.
Cine Contest Update
The current contest Cinetv Contest: Your Most Favorite Classic Film(s) is still open and the deadline is 8th March 2022, 11:59 PM, UTC time. So you still have some time if you want to take part in it.
The results will be published on Wednesday, along with a brand new contest.
Next Watch Parties
Next weekend we'll watch a few short films from Czechoslovakia, preferably some surreal ones. Watch party will be held on our discord server. Stay tuned and look out for announcements. :)
Let's highlight some of the mentionable posts from this week that was posted in CineTV. We want to recognize exceptional pieces and let the authors know their efforts are not futile. This is also a fine way to get some more traction in their posts.
@nbarrios67 - Belfast, a vision through innocent eyes of a senseless confrontation
@lordtimoty - The Width of Films: The tangible makes the intangible better
Dominique Pinon
Dominique Pinon should be a familiar face to any curious filmgoer who wanted to try french films. He is mostly known for his performances in Jean-Pierre Jeunet films such as Delicatessen, Amelie.
George Miller
Miller gave us the fabulous world of Mad Max! Very few filmmakers can make such engaging and imaginative dystopia and still keep it fun and wild!
Pier Paolo Pasolini
Pasolini could easily be the most controversial filmmaker in the history of cinema. I'd understand if you never want to hear his name again (not really) but the truth is he remains a misunderstood artist on so many levels. His films are extreme, that is true, but his artist self remains intact in all of them—even when they are certainly not suitable for the mass.
Andrzej Wajda
Now, Wajda is a weird case. He is considered one of the greatest filmmakers ever lived—yet when people get together and chat a lot, his name usually does not come up like many of his contemporaries. The funny thing is four of his films had Oscar nominations in the foreign-language category (He is Polish), he should have been a buzzword, right?!
But CINETV remembers him, honors him. How can we forget the director of Ashes and Diamond?
This is it for this week.
WE WILL RETURN.
