    The Laughing Heart

    your life is your life
    don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
    be on the watch.
    there are ways out.
    there is a light somewhere.
    it may not be much light but
    it beats the darkness.
    be on the watch.
    the gods will offer you chances.
    know them.
    take them.
    you can’t beat death but
    you can beat death in life, sometimes.
    and the more often you learn to do it,
    the more light there will be.
    your life is your life.
    know it while you have it.
    you are marvelous
    the gods wait to delight
    in you.

    - C. Bukowski

  8. The food movement has been slow to recognise the fact that worker rights and working conditions should be a key part of any discussion about the ethics of food. Reforms to the food system need to incorporate workers and their welfare, not just better farming practices, more humane treatment of animals, and other measures focusing on food as an end product. Food is also a process, and the people involved in that process have a right to fair treatment, something they don’t have currently. The continued marginalisation of farmworkers and the focus on other issues in the food movement speaks poorly of the movement overall, and reveals some telling attitudes about labour, race, and entitlement.
     

  9. 7 Cajas

    Went to go see this film yesterday at the closing night of Cine Las Americas Film Festival in Austin. It is so nice to finally see high quality features coming out of Paraguay doing well on the festival circuit. Especially one co-directed by a woman. This is a product of Juan Carlos Maneglia and Tana Schémbori’s direction and vision. A surprisingly hilarious thriller about a boy (Victor) who, more than anything, wants to purchase a cell phone with a camcorder on it so he can be on tv. The story takes place in all too familiar labyrinthine Mercado 4. Where my tia and bela would once take us to go get new clothes on the cheap.                                                         

     

  10. Juice! - film - July 2011

    This awesome dude drove us around and kept us very entertained in Haiti for an entire month while working on a multimedia project with Cine Institute in Jacmel. He told us he used to ask his mom for juice a lot when he was little. So eventually she just started calling him “Juice”. You are what you eat, or drink, I guess. Bon bagay mwen zanmi!

    My father came across digital scans of my grandpa’s old film from way back in the day. I’m editing the photos with the intention to reprint them. They hold some exciting family history.

    Laura Mvula’s mix of classic soul and modern breeziness can be difficult to locate on a calendar, let alone a map. Classically trained and only 26, she writes songs that sound like the whole world at once.

    Tuvimos la oportunidad de tomar un poco de tereré y hablar un rato hoy con los miembros del grupo Colombiano Bomba Estereo después de su set. Ellos siempre ponen un show súper divertido y lleno de baile. 

    Terminaron con esta musica tan linda:
