Grandir
''Grandir'' is a 2013 first-person French documentary film by Dominique Cabrera. The film, whose working title was ''O Happy Days!'' (''Ô Heureux jours !''), is a follow-up to the filmmaker's 1995 film diary ''Tomorrow and Tomorrow Again'' (''Demain et encore demain''). In ''Grandir'', Cabrera expanded her diaristic approach, starting by filming family at her brother's wedding in Massachusetts. According to the filmmaker, this was a way of appreciating them more deeply, cherishing them while they're alive. From there, the filmmaker continued recording events and gatherings – holidays, births, and her father's funeral – in the hopes of grappling with family secrets, which might explain her anxiety and persistent insomnia. She also traveled to Algeria with her sister to investigate the mysterious conditions surrounding their mother's birth. Cabrera met one of the film's editors, Isidore Bethel, when she was a visiting professor in Harvard's film program and advising h ...

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

2013 Films
The following tables list films released in 2013. Three popular films ('' Top Gun'', '' Jurassic Park'', and '' The Wizard of Oz'') were re-released in 3D and IMAX. Evaluation of the year Richard Brody of ''The New Yorker'' said, "The year 2013 has been an amazing one for movies, though maybe every year is an amazing year for movies if one is ready to be amazed by movies. It’s also a particularly apt year to make a list of the best films. Making a list is not merely a numerical act but also a polemical one, and the best of this year’s films are polemical in their assertion of the singularity of cinema, as well as of the art form’s opposition to the disposable images of television. The 2013 crop comprises an unplanned, if not accidental, collective declaration of the essence of the cinema, an art of images and sounds that, at their best, don’t exist to tell a story or to tantalize the audience (though they may well do so) but, rather, to reflect a crisis in the life of th ...
