Short Films "Lucky Dip"/Best of VideoActive: This Saturday at Filmbase, Curved Street, Dublin

From the Convergence Website: "Family, home, school, work, neighbourhood, town, city and country - our lives are filled with communities of one sort or another. These are the building blocks of our society. Doesn't it make sense that healthy communities lead to healthy societies?

For the inaugural festival of 2005, Sustainable Ireland is proud to present Convergence Seven - Building Healthy Communities : A challenging programme of events designed to educate and expand our understanding of community, and what it means to build healthy, sustainable environments. Opening with a keynote lecture by Swedish social planner and economist Torbjorn Lahti, and continuing over a four-day festival, attendees can choose from over 30 lectures, conferences, workshops, films, exhibitions, discussions and initiatives."

'The Irish poet Brendan Kennelly once described Bewley's Café in Grafton Street as the 'heart and the hearth of Dublin'. Dublin, he said, would not be Dublin without Bewley's. These sentiments have been echoed by generations of Irish people since Joshua Bewley first introduced tea to the Irish public in 1835.

Bewley's is a name synonymous in the history of Dublin and more recently of Ireland as a whole. Bewley's itself has a rich history of growth and survival which has proved it to be one of the last bastions of tradition in a changing Ireland.' read full story / add a comment

In the eyes of Islamists, Las Vegas is the Sodom and Gomorrah of modern times: a city where women not only bare their bodies but also sell them in the all-engulfing pursuit of the god they call Dollar, while men drown their soulless bodies in alcohol and gamble away their own god, Money. Yet this is where a number of strict-living Islamist terrorists, including the leader of the 9/11 hijackers, Mohamed Atta, and four other 9/11 hijackers spent part of their summer shortly before they committed their evil deed. read full story / add a comment
