Digital Media Festival at Madonna University Features Filmmaking, Concerts and Events
LIVONIA, Mich. – Hollywood comes to Motown again this summer. The second annual Project Accessible Hollywood (PAH-fest) Motown will take place on the campus of Madonna University on July 14-20. The unique, entirely free, digital media festival travels to cities throughout the U.S. and internationally, giving anyone and everyone an opportunity to take part in movie making. Metro-Detroiters from all walks of life will have access to digital equipment and professional coaching, enabling them to create their own short digital films. PAH-fest is the brainchild of Christopher Coppola, nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola and brother to actor Nicholas Cage. Coppola plans to be on campus again this year.
PAHfest will also be invading the virtual world, incorporating the chat realm “Second Life” into the mix. People from around the globe can now experience PAH like never before, interacting in the virtual world “Detroit Life”. In 2006, Loudbaby launched the city of Detroit within the virtual world of “Second Life”, aptly called "Detroit Life : The Motor City inside The Metaverse." Since the debut of Detroit Life last year, Loudbaby has quickly established itself as a world leader in the production of Mixed Reality Events.
An exciting new addition to PAH-fest this year is a high-tech lunchtime concert Wednesday, July 16, from 12-2 p.m. World-famous European musician, Ridha (Cooljoke) Ibrahim, will perform from his studio in Italy and perform in the world of Detroit Life in Second Life. Madonna will be streaming video of his avatar for this 3D virtual concert. Computers in at Madonna’s Livonia campus will host PAH Disco where online-concert-goers can dance as avatars while enjoying a pizza lunch provided by the University.
The fashion world of Second Life will not go unnoticed as Virtual Clothing Designer Lemania Indigo features a series of clothing made just for PAHfest featuring the “Motown Sound.” She is turning the proceeds of this clothing line back to the PAHfest MOTOWN organizers to help offset the cost of the festival. “Creativity has been a huge part of my life and PAHfest allows other people to express their thoughts, ideas, and feelings all over the world giving them a voice. I am very proud to be part of such a wonderful idea and event,” said Indigo.
Madonna University, Michigan’s most affordable is home to an award-winning Broadcast and Cinema Arts Department. The University’s main campus is conveniently located at I-96 and Levan Road in Livonia. For more information, visit (www.madonna.edu) or www.pahnation.org.

1001 Arabian Nights

King Shahriyar had become disgruntled with the unfaithfulness of women, and vowed to have a new wife each night. Each was to be executed the following morning.
Shahrazad, when her turn came, enacted a clever plan. Each night her sister Dunyzad would come into their room and request a story. The King became so entranced by Shahrazad's stories that he would long to hear the conclusion of each one; and night after night Shahrazad would leave him in suspense, thus earning herself a further stay of execution.

Ode To Joy

Joy, thou beauteous godly lighting,

Daughter of Elysium,

Fire drunken we are ent'ringHeavenly, thy holy home!

Thy enchantments bind together,

What did custom's sword divide,

Beggars are a prince's brother,

Where thy gentle wings abide.
