| Indonesian violin maestro Idris Sardi dies Posted: 28 Apr 2014 04:23 AM PDT The Indonesian entertainment world has lost a music legend, Idris Sardi, 76, who died this morning after suffering a lung ailment. The Indonesian violin maestro who had spent most of his life playing the violin, died at the Meilia Cibubur Hospital, Jakarta, at 7.25am. Friends described the passing of the legendary musician as a major loss to the Indonesian people because there was no comparison for his love for the arts. Famous musician and singer, Katon Bagaskara, said the late Idris was not only skilled in playing the violin, but also had extraordinary talent in music arrangement to the extent that anyone who listened to his music could feel the beat. Another famous singer, Bob Tutopoli said the late Idris whom he knew was an artiste who always placed importance on perfection in his works. "If there is anything that did not suit his liking, he (Idris) could become angry, especially if it carried the Indonesian name, he would become very sensitive," said Tutopoli. Born in Jakarta on June 7, 1938, Idris began to play the violin at the age of six and by the time he was 10 years old, the artiste had held his first solo performance in Yogyakarta which attracted much attention. The father to famous actor, Lukman Sardi, Idris established close relations with Malaysian artistes and had produced an album of new arrangements of Tan Sri P. Ramlee's songs. – Bernama, April 28, 2014. |
| Coppola, Bernal join Campion on Cannes festival jury Posted: 28 Apr 2014 03:58 AM PDT Coppola, whose second feature film "Lost in Translation" was nominated for four Oscars, is no stranger to the festival. The 42-year-old's third film "Marie-Antoinette" competed at the festival in 2006 and "The Bling Ring" opened the new talent section last year. Mexico's Bernal shot to fame with his role in the Oscar-nominated film "Amores Perros" and his role as a young Che Guevara in "The Motorcycle Diaries" earned him a Bafta nomination. He is also a director and producer. US veteran actor Dafoe has acted in some 80 films – the most recent being "The Grand Budapest Hotel" – and was twice nominated for an Oscar. Also part of the jury will be Chinese director Jia Zhangke, whose gritty depiction of life in the Middle Kingdom has won him acclaim but also drawn the ire of the country's censors. Other jury members are French actress Carole Bouquet, Iranian actress Leila Hatami, South Korean actress Jeon Do-yeon and Danish director and producer Nicolas Winding Refn. The jury, headed by New Zealand director Campion, will award the coveted Palme d'Or to one of the 18 films in competition at the May 14-25 festival. – AFP, April 28, 2014. |
