Any chance we can download the movie somewhere?

[Daskalot]

The Greeks have hit a new low, this only verifies their paranoia, and that we are right, now is the time to contact media, send them a link to the translation asap.

what a ridiculous nation Greece is. Vetoing a country because a few citizens make a movie. When are EU going to realise Greece are morons and abuse there privlages and power to vote. What a joke.

This should be good for Macedonia - EU politicians will soon or later realize what Greece is about.

Also, the more contraversy the more exposure this movie will get. Good free publicity for these makers. All this hype will bring more people to the truth. Thank you you Arab bastards thankyou. Keep shooting your selves in the foot. These film makers will show it and smile all the way to the bank. hehehehe

Sadly enough, EU knows who they deal with. The fact that they tolerate it is somewhat scary for Europeans and it's citizen.

But, with every greek cramp their true face is exposed. That is good.

It is the Ghandi way of doing things. Provoke the beast to come out and show it's ugly face to the world, to drop it's deception veil.

If you have any ideas how the film can be promoted to a wider audience, despite Greek objections, e-mail Meto Koloski at [email protected]. An interview with the film director will come out in the fall/winter issue of UMD Voice in a couple of weeks.

Greece threatens to veto Iceland's bid for EU membership if they sell,distribute or advertise or let this film be sold, distibuted or advertised by private companies from Iceland. This is a film made by a private citizen from Iceland, now living and working in Norway.The Iceland ......as a country had nothing to do with the making of this film, yet they can be vetoed by the spoiled brat of Europe called Ellada/Greece/Hellas!

Do you want to help Macedonia? Then e-mail the following to every single news agency, TV, newspaper, etc...you can find information about.

Greece threatens to veto Iceland's EU membership over documentary on Macedonia

Skopje, November 17 (MIA) - A first presentation of the documentary 'A Name Is A Name' - work of art of Icelandic director Sigurjon Einarsson, which features Macedonians as hostages of their name, has been cancelled due to a pressure of Greek diplomats, TV Channel 5 reported late Tuesday.

Greece will do everything to prevent Iceland's accession to the EU if it allows the movie presentation, diplomats told the Icelandic Ambassador to the US.

The movie presentation should have taken place at the Icelandic Ambassador's residence in Washington. Greek and Macedonian Ambassadors were invited as guests to the presentation.

Einarsson confirmed the incident to Channel 5, quoting the Icelandic Ambassador, who revealed no details on his encounter with the Greek diplomats, except that they had done something to really frighten him and made him cancel the presentation of the movie.

This incident will not prevent the promotion of this documentary across the globe, Einarsson said.

A cross between a documentary and a feature film, 'A Name Is A Name' is instead, a classic 'road film', made largely on the proverbial and literal road over a period of seven months in the Republic of Macedonia. At its heart, the film is about a group of people who call themselves Macedonians and what it means to them to be known as such. Interspersed throughout the conversations is Macedonia itself – the stunning landscapes and scenery that make up this gentle country and ancient land. Places and points of interest – monasteries and mosques, historical and archeological sites, towns, little hamlets and cities, lakes and mountains – that make Macedonia what it has been and what it is today, the documentary home page reads.

i am in contact with Jason Milko the producer. I am imforming him about the Macedonian comunity support. Here is his most recent email he sent me.

"Hi Bill….

Thanks for the thoughts. I’m actually the producer of the film!

Keep telling people about it…and maybe even start a grass-roots movement there to call ABC and request the film to be shown…start talking it up!

Let me know what you think…

Best,

Jason"

We must work hard to expose the situation. what a great opertunity this is. It will be for a great cause not only for the people who Created this film, but also for Macedonians and any future projects that wish to tell the truth. I sugest a gathering infront of the ABC building with demands this subject is brought up and the actual movie aired. This can be just a last resort if by letter, we are ignored. :rmacedonia
