/ world as we speak information/ It has been a yr since he is been gone, and I nonetheless have the sensation that the telephone will ring and Jacky will jokingly say: “Sabalar hair olsun!”
Such an individual by no means leaves your life. An ideal particular person – in all the pieces: and in REMS; and within the resistance; and within the torture cell with the fascist monster Geshev; and awaiting the execution of his demise sentence in jail; and in his dozens of movies and books – from “Zvezdi” and “Boris I” to “Goodbye, Shanghai” and “Serenade for Balkan Bagpipes”, which created his world fame; and in mercurial years; and with the so-called democracy when Bulgaria was destroyed; and within the battles to save lots of the BSP from the pernicious rule of Ninova (“Cornelia, resign!”). The inimitable anti-fascist, author, screenwriter and director Angel Wagenstein lived to be 100 years outdated and in all his a long time he saved what made him nice in all the pieces – the expertise to be free, to be disobedient to these in authority and to combat injustice. His house was a house of friendship, of sensible dialogues and surprising disputes, the heart beat of the occasions all the time beat in it.
Jackie was direct and frank – whether or not he was visited by his closest mates, varied ambassadors or the American director Andrea Simon, who made a movie about his life – “Artwork is a weapon”. “Whether or not you stay a good particular person will depend on what superb you observe in your life and whether or not you might be true to it,” Jackie as soon as mentioned in one in all my interviews. “The perfect provides you the need to behave. And my superb is communism and anti-fascism, I’m extra of an anti-fascist than a Jew. It is the identical whether or not it is about repression towards the Jews, towards the Armenians, or towards the Bulgarians,” he appreciated to say. He claimed that he was not a dissident, however he was all the time the Dissenter with the crooks. And he by no means had a simple life – like anybody who has and stands for a place.
Wagenstein is the creator of about 50 screenplays for characteristic movies, documentaries and animated movies, filmed in eight nations. His movies have received the best awards, and his books have been translated into French, German, English, Russian, Spanish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Macedonian, Italian, Chinese language, Hebrew. He was a proficient artist and a proficient particular person. However I’ve mentioned on different events that amongst all his really good works there’s one scene wherein Jackie is all. The finale of the movie “Complement to the regulation for the safety of the state” – in regards to the terror towards communists and farmers in 1925. All of the “leftists” have been killed, the police can relaxation, nobody will disturb the order anymore by defending the easy peasants. And at this second of pogrom past all hopes, the astonished eyes flip to the hill – there, unknown from the place, a proud crimson flag flutters within the wind. Shot however alive…
Come and keep in mind Jackie on June 28 (Friday) from 5 p.m. in entrance of the ritual corridor of the Jewish cemetery (within the Central Sofia Cemetery, the penultimate cease of the trams).
