"Desert Rose" is a song co-authored by British musician #Sting and #Algerian songwriter Cheb Rabah (Rabah Zarradine), featuring Algerian #raï singer #ChebMami, from Sting's sixth solo studio album, #BrandNewDay (1999). According to Sting, the lyrics have to do with "lost love and longing". Riding a wave of pre-9/11 interest in Latin and Arabic cultures, "Desert Rose" peaked at No. 2 in Canada, No. 3 in Switzerland, No. 4 in Italy, No. 15 in the United Kingdom.

So it's now official: my latest ethnographic film #HopaLide has been selected for the #RAI FILM Festival in Bristol. What pleasure to be part of this traditional #VisualAnthropology event!

You can either attend the screening on the 12th of June in the Watershed Cinema (starting at 09:40 in the morning – I'll be there!) or watch the film between the 16th of June and – 16th of July online (in the company of over 90 ethnographic films from 36 countries!)

One thing I like about RAI Drama is that they are still willing to run 3-4 mins of end credits so just about everyone, right down to the members of the in-house orchestra, gets a name "up in lights". scrolling past slowly enough to be read.

These 'Draft PCC Guiding Principles for Use of AI and Machine Learning Technologies in Cataloging and Metadata Work' are great! I kinda wish I'd seen them before drafting our BL guidelines for ethical AI as 'AI usage should be beneficial' is a very elegant phrase

#EU #Italy #PressFreedom #RAI #TV #Television #News #Media #Journalism: "An Italian union has called for political parties to be “eliminated from Rai” as journalists with the public broadcaster went on strike in protest against the “suffocating control” allegedly being wielded by Giorgia Meloni’s rightwing government over their work.

The ruling coalition has been accused of influencing programming, including censoring themes that are not in tune with its rightwing stance.

The strike on Monday came amid a growing debate in Italy about political influence in the media after Rai was accused of censoring an antifascism monologue that was due to be read on one of its TV talkshows by the high-profile author Antonio Scurati.

“This strike is in response to industrial themes … but also there is an aspect linked to the independence and autonomy of journalists,” Daniele Macheda, the president of Usigrai, the main union representing Rai journalists, told reporters in Rome. “Things have happened in Italy, also recently, that do not give us much hope in [the way] things are going.”

Since 2005, the majority of Rai’s board has been chosen by politicians and its main shareholder, the economy ministry, as part of a law that was reinforced by Matteo Renzi’s centre-left government in 2015." https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/06/italy-rai-journalists-strike-giorgia-meloni-government
