Surname
In some cultures, a surname, family name, or last name is the portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family, tribe or community. Practices vary by culture. The family name may be placed at either the start of a person's full name, as the forename, or at the end; the number of surnames given to an individual also varies. As the surname indicates genetic inheritance, all members of a family unit may have identical surnames or there may be variations; for example, a woman might marry and have a child, but later remarry and have another child by a different father, and as such both children could have different surnames. It is common to see two or more words in a surname, such as in compound surnames. Compound surnames can be composed of separate names, such as in traditional Spanish culture, they can be hyphenated together, or may contain prefixes.

Julie Talen
Julie Talen is a writer and experimental filmmaker best known for her work with multi-channel narrative. Her directorial debut, the digital feature, ''Pretend'', premiered at the Lincoln Center’s New York Video Festival in 2003. The film uses an array of multiple frames and complex graphics to tell the story of a troubled family living in upstate New York. "The collage of images evokes the memories, fantasies and fears of the characters, bridging the distance between the objective reality of what the camera sees and the inner worlds that are ordinarily left to actors to convey,’’ wrote A.O. Scott of ''The New York Times'', who also called ''Pretend'' a “harrowing, dazzling feature.” In ''Sixty Cameras Against the War'' (2004), Talen unearthed unexpected synchronicity among random digital videos taken in a massive but little-seen anti-war rally held in New York City on Feb 15, 2003, just days before the invasion of Iraq. The film was shown at the Whitney Museum of America ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
