“message from greece” - Jung sein in Griechenland, ist dieser Tage nicht besonders verheißungsvoll. Was macht man als junger Grieche in Zeiten der Krise? Geht man in die Arbeitslosigkeit oder nach Australien? „message from greece“ ist eine Doku über die junge Generation zwischen Chancenlosigkeit und Emigration. Die aktuelle Krise trifft sie schwer. Viele sehen sich im Würgegriff Europas und zwischen Empörung und Resignation angesichts der korrupten Strukturen im eigenen Land. Die europäische Krisenbewältigung hinterlässt tiefe Spuren in ihrem Alltag. Ist Griechenland finanzstrategische Versuchskaninchen? Ihre Lebenswirklichkeit verweist auf eine Zukunft mit zermürbender Erblast. Ein Leben unter schwierigen Umständen , mit durchschnittlichen Einkommen von 600,-€ monatlich (mittlerweile noch weniger) und meistens ohne Krankenversicherung.
Kaum eine Nachrichtensendung läuft noch ohne die Berichterstattung über die Rettungsbemühungen für Griechenland. Dem kleinen Europastaat im Süden droht der Staatsbankrott. Jetzt droht auch der Mittelschicht aufgrund von Lohnkürzungen und Entlassungen ein Abrutschen in die Armut. In Deutschland wurde in einigen Medien das Bild vom faulen Griechen geschaffen, doch wie sieht die Realität aus, in einem Land, das neben dem Tourismus kaum eigene Wirtschaftskraft mehr besitzt.
Die Generation junger Griechen ist von der aktuellen Krise unmittelbar betroffen. Mittlerweile ist beträgt die Arbeitslosenquote der unter 24jährigen 52%. In unseren häufigen Aufenthalten in Griechenland und unseren Telefonaten mit Freunden und Familie erleben wir eine Realität, die geprägt ist von Verzweiflung und Kampf, von Gefühlen der Ohnmacht und des Betruges, der Suche nach persönlichem Glück und dem menschlichen Zusammenhalt. Es ist auch die Geschichte eines kollektiven Schicksals gelebt in Einzelgeschichten. Vielen droht die Arbeitslosigkeit, und das Gespenst der Auswanderung spukt in den Köpfen der jungen Generation. Und von genau diesen Menschen wollen wir in “message from greece“ erzählen.
Die Filmemacher_innen Mosjkan Ehrari und Vassili Vougiatzis sind anwesend!
The Postcard
A postcard that was published by Moore & Wingham, Publishers of High-Class Postcards, 39 East Street, Chichester, Sussex. The artwork was by George Fossick.
The card was posted in Southsea using a 1d. stamp on the 6th. August 1931. It was sent to:
The Rev. Bruce Cornford, M.A.,
Queen's Road,
Waterlooville,
Hants.
The message on the divided back was as follows:
"When paying in some more
money this morning, I enquired
about that odd eight shillings &
sixpence, & was told that it was
interest allowed, so it is all right,
and not a printer's error.
B.L."
The Rev. Bruce Cornford
The Reverend Bruce Cornford was born in 1867.
His clerical career didn’t have the most auspicious of beginnings. Having just been made a Deacon, Cornford was sent to serve his curacy in Portsmouth.
The vicar who was meant to be training him was laid-back, when he wasn’t away on holiday.
After being left alone to run the parish for a prolonged period while the incumbent was on the continent, Cornford finally cracked and, in protest at these regular absences, put his superior’s house on the market.
When the Vicar was glancing over the English newspapers some time later, he happened to notice a sizeable Portsmouth residence up for sale. His interest piqued, he read on, only to realise to his horror that it was his own house that was being flogged to the highest bidder.
The ‘all enquiries to Rev. Bruce Cornford’ part of the advert rather gave the game away – the Vicar cut short his jaunt and Cornford got the sack.
In a 1923 issue of the parish magazine, Bruce made the following comment on the christening of Princess Mary’s baby:
"I should like to make my tiny protest at a solemn
piece of bunkum enacted at the christening of the
Lascelles baby by the Most Rev. the Lord Archbishop
of York.
General Higginson, of the Guards, aged 96, was one
of the sponsors for this child, and the Archbishop thus
solemnly addressed him:
“Ye are to take care that this child be
brought to the Bishop so soon as he
can say the Creed, the Lord s Prayer,
the Ten Commandments, and be further
instructed in the Church Catechism set
forth for that purpose.”
Surely this is simply farcical. When the baby is four, the
General will be 100, and should he live to that great age
I do not think there will be much possibility of effectual
communication between the two.
When the Archbishop was Vicar at Portsea I think he
used to tell his people that 15 or 16 was usually the best
age for a confirmation candidate.
The General, if he lives, will then be 111, and hardly in a
condition to approach the bishop with the child."
In 1928 the Reverend Bruce Cornford convened the inaugural meeting of the Waterlooville & District Motor Cycle and Light Car Club. The meeting took place at The Heroes Pub in Waterlooville.
Bruce died in 1940.

Held during the Golden Week holiday, the Flower Candle Message display which takes place in Peace Memorial Park the evenings of May 3-5th provides a quiet, but striking contrast to the packed streets and noisy stages of the daytime Flower Festival.
It is a display of hundreds of candles wrapped in messages calling for peace in the Peace Memorial Park. It is an opportunity for the many visitors in town for the Flower Festivalto pay their respects to those who lost their lives in the A-bombing and its aftermath. It is a very pretty sight.

A message from the family for our Christmas Cards. The lovely font is Rockwell shadow - 16 or 18pt I think.
This message is hanged up on a shop of my town... It's so hilaryus... For no italian readers:
"Today I almost died. If I'll exit resuscitation, tomorrow I am open"
I have always felt especially drawn to my faith during easter. It is a time for reflection and contemplation. I look forward to attending the services starting on Maundy Thursday with the washing of the feet, to the solemnity of Good Friday and the celebration of the Easter Vigil where the church proclaims the message of the Risen Lord.
Peace and love to all my Flickr friends and may all your families and friends be blessed. Happy Easter.
