The moving images behind a weapons ban
When Jocelyn Ajami set out to make a film about Lebanon after the 2006 war between Lebanon and Israel, she didn’t think she’d end up making, as she puts it, “a tool to campaign against cluster bombs.”
“The film focuses on a 10-day visit, six weeks after the war, by a group of Americans,” says the Caracas native who now lives in Boston’s Back Bay.Read More

IN THE film “Paraíso Travel,” a young immigrant named Marlon finds himself lost and broke shortly after arriving in New York and being separated from his girlfriend, the cunning and sexy Reina, played by Angélica Blandón. He meets an older man, a fixer for new arrivals, who helps him find shelter and asks the naive illegal what else he might need.
“How do I get rid of this fear?” asks Marlon, somewhat overplayed by Aldemar Correa.
Of course, the old man can’t help him with the dread that haunts strangers in a strange land, except to say that in time it goes away. That small, intimate moment in this occasionally overwrought drama offers a glimpse into the emotional and mental toll of the immigrant experience, which is often seen through ideological eyes.Read More

For his last four movies, Woody Allen has been working in Europe - three in London and a new one, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” in Barcelona. It was initially neat to think of the filmmaker on vacation away from Manhattan (or given his preference for casting Scarlett Johansson, on his honeymoon). It might be time to see what his native New York has to offer again. His next film is set there, but we have to admit that Allen may never come entirely home, if not geographically then artistically.Read More

Merengue! Visual Rythms / Ritmos Visuales
August 14 - November 23, 2008
Merengue! Visual Rhythms/Ritmos Visuales is the first exhibition to explore the significant historical impact merengue music has had on the visual arts in the Dominican Republic. This collection, organized by the Centro Cultural Eduardo Leon Jiménez and travelled by the International Arts and Artists agency, consists of approximately 47 works by 27 classical and contemporary artists - paintings, works on paper, photographs, sculpture and video, as well as popular graphics, video documentaries, and an illustrated timeline panel that reveals the evolving artistic styles practiced by Dominican artists who interpret the island’s most important musical and dance form.
August 1, 2008. Los Angeles Times. Conceptually sophisticated and visually smashing, the installation design that artist Jorge Pardo conceived and executed for the impressive Pre-Columbian collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art was unveiled to the public Sunday. Unlike anything you’ve seen in an art museum before, it’s built on a deep understanding of the potential power of smart decoration.Read More

“The tradition in this state… of public support for the arts goes all the way back to the original Constitution — written by John Adams — which says it will be the public duty of the government to support the arts, support the sciences, to support education, for all levels of society. We’ve got to raise children to appreciate the arts.”
