logline: ‘Imagine that you see everything through a monitor, that you have never seen the face of your loved one, that you even have never seen you own eyes…’

INTERFACE is selected for ‘De Ontmoeting’ (the Meeting), an initiative by VERS and Cinecrowd, giving Dutch, young and unconventional filmmakers an opportunity to further develop their skills and style.

When concluding this crowdfunding campaign successfully VPRO DORST will invest in this film. That way your donation is doubled. With your help INTERFACE can be realized, and it creates the perfect platform for the intended audiences.

Last Words @ Ohio State University

The Cappadocian variety of Greek, spoken in Asia Minor until the population exchanges between Greek and Turkey in the 1920s, has been of considerable interest to Hellenists and linguists more generally because of the intense contact it underwent with Turkish and the effects that this contact had on the language.  After the 1920s, it was believed to be extinct, absorbed into the Greek communities of mainland Greece.  Within the past 15 years, however, enclaves of Cappadocian speakers have been discovered in Greece and Professor Mark Janse, who had studied Cappadocian for years thinking it extinct, has been the forefront of this discovery and of the study of the reemergence of Cappadocian.  He will talk about his involvement with Cappadocian and the Cappadocians and then screen an award-winning  film about his discovery and about the language (“Last Words”, by Koert Davidse (http://www.sndfilms.com/last-words/)).
