The Oscars shine the brightest light on a small cove in Japan
- Exposing the cruelty and captivity of dolphins
Landmark documentary "The Cove", winner of the Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary 2009, is being screened at Eden Cinemas at 6.30pm on April 27th 2010. This free event is being organised by Nature Trust (Malta) as part of its on-going activities celebrating Global Cetacean Day.
This documentary vividly portrays the on-going and wilful human threat to the wild dolphin populations that roam free along the coast of a small fishing town called Taiji in southern Japan.
You are invited to view this film because it exposes the clandestine, violent killing of wild dolphins that result in 23,000 deaths every year. You will see how a team of specialised individuals came together because of one man, Ric O'Barry, to record atrocities that continue to take place in this tranquil, remote bay, so that the world can learn of what is happening. Ric O'Barry became famous in the 1960s for capturing and training the five dolphins that played Flipper on the hugely successful TV show of the same name. But after Kathy, the main "Flipper", died in his arms, Ric O'Barry changed forever and he began an uncompromising crusade to free captive dolphins all over the world. The Cove is intended to challenge its audiences to question the actions of others; those actions that hide away the uncomfortable truths that affect the decisions we take in ordinary life.
This is an educational event, brought to you free by the sponsorship of Eden Cinemas.
Tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis.
Please obtain your free ticket from the Eden Cinema box office on the evening of the screening.
Donations can be made towards Nature Trust (Malta)'s Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre on the night. The evening will commence promptly at 6.30pm and guests are requested to take their seats in good time. Kindly note that this is a 91 minute feature, rated PG 13 for Disturbing Content. It is not intended for young audiences.

Artscist European Student Competition: Extension of registration and submission deadlines to June 1, 2010 |
About Artscist – The Hulda Festival Student Competition
The Hulda Festival - The Hulda Festival is a project coordinated by the Ilhan Koman Foundation with 14 local co-organisers across Europe. The festival takes its name from the boat M/S Hulda, a 105-year old two-mast Swedish-make schooner where the sculptor Ilhan Koman lived and worked for more than twenty years. Inspired by the scientific and innovative work of Koman, the Hulda Festival essentially exploits the notion of creativity, and uses both an onboard exhibition of the scientific artworks of Ilhan Koman, and experimental art and science workshops to explain scientific knowledge with a playful approach. www.huldafestival.org
Artscist - The main objective of the Hulda Festival is to create alternative perspectives to awaken public interest in science. As indirect approaches that exploit art are more effective in attracting laymen to science rather than by simply presenting science per se; art can serve as an efficient tool in awakening attention through aesthetic and ludic associations; creativity—being the common denominator of art and science—is an essential actor in the development of knowledge-based societies which do not build merely on learned knowledge. Basing on this objective, Artscist invites higher education students from the 10 cities where the festival is taking place (namely Stockholm, Amsterdam, Flanders, Bordeaux, Lisbon, Barcelona, Malta, Naples, Thessalonica, Istanbul) to participate in the competition with their innovative and creative artistic projects that vulgarise scientific phenomena.
Prize - One winning author from each of the 10 cities will be invited to Istanbul for 4 days (travel, accommodation costs and meals covered by the organisers), to participate in an “Art and Science” symposium and attend the opening of the exhibition of their works in a major cultural centre.
Expected Content of Projects to Be Submitted - Students wishing to participate in “artscist” are invited to present their creative projects that explore scientific phenomena with the aim of introducing the scientific aspect to the general public in a vulgarised manner. These works, which are envisaged to be “scientific artworks” or “artistic experiments”, shall be accompanied with vulgarising descriptions and can use any medium, as long as they don’t require their authors to be permanently present to demonstrate their work.
Evaluation and Jury - The projects will be evaluated based on originality, quality of and potential for vulgarisation by an international jury of seven members from diverse disciplines such as sociology, mathematics, molecular biology, medicine, architecture, electronic engineering, fine arts.
Who Can Participate - Students over 18 years old from any department in the 10 cities involved in the Hulda Festival are invited to participate in the competition with their innovative projects. Science students are encouraged to collaborate with other students experienced in pedagogy and arts, and vice versa.
Deadlines - Participants are expected to register on www.huldafestival.org from March 1 to
Results – Names of the 10 winners of “artscist” will be announced on www.huldafestival.org on July 31, 2010.

Swimathon in Aid of Inspire
We are pleased to announce that we shall once again be organising our yearly charity
fundraiser, the Swimathon Challenge. Swimathon 2010 will take place between Monday
19th April and Sunday 25th April, at Inspire Marsascala’s indoor pool, the MFA Ta’
Qali indoor pool and the Tal-Qroqq national pool.
Swimathon Challenge aims to promote healthy living amongst the local community through
organised sports whilst also offering a challenging activity for those who like
to push themselves and reach a goal… thus allowing us to reach our goal, that is
of enhancing the quality of lives of thousands of disabled persons through a range
of professional services, including therapeutic, educational, recreational and inclusive
programmes.
Compete with your colleagues at the Swimathon and have fun outside the office whilst
challenging yourselves and above all help us raise the much needed funds for persons
with disabilities! This is also an ideal opportunity to promote teambuilding and
wellbeing amongst work colleagues whilst also strengthening the CSR values of your
organisation or business.
Whether you are swimming on your own or as a group there are various award categories
to be won. The categories are divided in this way;
- Most Funds raised by an Individual
- Most Funds raised by a mini Group
- Most Funds raised by a Large Group
- Most Laps by an Individual
- Most Laps by a mini Group
- Most Laps by a Large Group
The methods of how to raise funds are even easier! The minimum donation is €25 per hour and per lane. However we encourage you to raise further by either collecting donations towards Inspire from your family members, partners, colleagues and anyone you know through a sponsor sheet or by committing him/her self to donate a sum of money depending on the number of laps you swim, thus giving you an incentive to raise as much funds for the charity as possible.
An official certificate will be handed out following your effort as proof of your achievement and support towards the organisation.
We surely hope that you are interested and up for the challenge and look forward to receiving your confirmation of participation by the 16th April 2010, on 21890000 or email Alexia on alexia.sammut@inspire.org.mt. Please make your booking as soon as possible to avoid any disappointment.
