Info USA Brno cordially invite you to a Screening & Discussion American Bluegrass music and Banjo Romantika by Lee Bidgood
Bluegrass music has a long history as part of cultural life in the Czech lands. In fact, bluegrass music been heard and played by Czechs for about as long as the form has existed--but how did this music travel from its heartland in the rural United States to Central Europe? The 2013 documentary film Banjo Romantika helps provide some of the historical context for Czech love of bluegrass music and also helps interpret the "Americanism" that is common throughout the present-day Czech Republic. Dr. Lee Bidgood will introduce the film and discuss some of the ideas that he and filmmaker Shara Lange convey through the film's presentation of musical performance, interviews, and observational material.
Lee Bidgood, PhD is a musician, educator, and ethnomusicologist, and works as Assistant Professor in the Department of Appalachian Studies at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, TN. Bidgood completed his doctoral studies in Critical and Comparative Studies in Music at the University of Virginia in 2010. He has conducted ethnomusicological fieldwork in the Czech Republic since 2002, focusing on the performance of Americanism by Czechs involved with bluegrass-related music making.

She will discuss the ongoing movement and provide her perspective of the social, economic and political challenges for women in America today.

Lecture: The origin of Cinematic Africa - unique photographs of Martin Johnson and Jan Svatoš
Jacquelin Borgheson curator of the safari Museum, Chanute Kansas
Jan Svatoš, filmmaker, author of documentary film Camera obscura
Photographers, explorers, naturalists, authors, and native Kansans, Martin and Osa Johnson traveled the world from 1917-1936. The Johnsons are best remembered for their numerous movies and books about the wildlife and people of Africa, Borneo, and the South Seas. They popularized camera safaris and introduced Americans to a larger world. In the 1930s, Kansas husband-and-wife team Osa and Martin Johnson, flying two Sikorsky amphibian aircraft painted in animal motifs, covered 60,000 miles and photographed the land and peoples of Africa. The Johnsons introduced Depression-era audiences to the beauty of East Africa with their popular travel books and safari documentary films like Baboona. They circled the world six times, bringing their experiences to the screen for all to see. Their most famous film CONGORILLA (for which project this certificate was presumably issued to fund), took two years to make and required the husband and wife team to live with pygmies for seven months. Their achievements are preserved by the Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum in Osa's hometown of Chanute, Kansas.

Fireballs of high-speed air action explode off screen in this exciting story of the "Fighting 99th" – the first sguadron of Black American pilots to be allowed to fight for their country. It is 1943 and the Germans are winning the Second World War as the U.S. suffers huge losses on the ground and in the air. Four newly recruited pilots are united by a desire to serve their country, at a time when black flyers are not welcomed in the Air Force. Now, through the brutal demands of their training, to the perils of flying over nations at war, the men they call "The Tuskegee Airman" must undertake the riskiest mission of their lives – to prove to America that courage knows no color. Their success could earn them respect, save lives, and help win a terrible war. Their failure could destroy more hopes and dreams than their own.

The image and reputation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration suffered from a series of very embarrassing incidents in 2007. Indeed, the agency has endured other public relations challenges during its fifty-year history, primarily relating to its ventures in human spaceflight. The agency's reputation recovered slightly in 2008, thanks in part to its participation in that summer's Smithsonian Folklife Festival. Whether NASA will be able to recapture the public's excitement in future space exploration remains to be seen.
