Buenos Aires
A
couple of years ago my parents, like a lot of elderly people, suddenly
took to cruises. And in order to share their new-found love, they
insisted that my wife and I join them on one.
My
wife and I, just so you know, are more accustomed to kayaking the
headwaters of the Amazon than standing in line at the floating buffet,
so when we got an opportunity to take part in one of the "activities",
we jumped.
We went snorkeling.

Caphirinas, dee-jayed dança and Brazilian beats in Central Park – even if Cine Fest Petrobras Brasil (June 5 to 12, 2010) weren't bringing a week of new Brazilian cinema to New York, it'd still be a pretext to samba.
Back for its eighth run, the week-long carnival will lead off with the Opening Night film, The Well Beloved One/O Bem Amado, followed by a festa brasileira. Guel Arraes's feature adaptation of playwright Dias Gomes's classic comedy sends up small-town politics and mores ...

Synopsis:
In Argentina, more than eight thousand people die every year in road accidents at a daily average of twenty-two. More than a hundred and twenty thousand are injured. Only the last decade has seen one hundred thousand deaths. The millions of pesos that every victim represents in medical and legal expenses produce an enormous market, supported by the compensations of insurance companies and the weakness of the law. Behind every tragedy, there is an industry.SOSA is a lawyer spec...

El skinhead es un tipo pelado, lleva borceguíes, a veces tiradores, están los que andan tatuados de pies a cabeza. Lo que muchos no saben es que hay algunos que llevan un parche con la figura de un casco troyano de perfil, negro con letras blancas que dicen “SHARP”. Es decir, Skinhead Against Racial Predjuice (Skinhead contra el prejuicio racial). También se llaman a sí mismos “antifascistas”.
La cultura skinhead existe desde hace 40 años. En Buenos Aires ya lleva más de 20 y sin embargo los prejuicios siguen intactos. La gente les tiene miedo y la prensa los difama. Son considerados una “tribu urbana” en el mejor de los casos y en el peor (y el más común) se los tilda de neo nazis.
Lejos de eso, el movimiento skinhead se origina en 1969 en Inglaterra, cuando la llegada de una ola de inmigración de Jamaica irrumpe en los barrios obreros. Los jamaiquinos comienzan a juntarse con los “mods” y se dan cuenta que no sólo tienen en común su origen de clase trabajadora, sino que además comparten el gusto por la música negra. Por ende, el skinhead nace, nada más y nada menos, que de la unión de blancos y negros, siendo éste el verdadero espíritu del movimiento. Lo curioso es que a pesar de lo que los medios de comunicación afirmen, la mayor parte de los skinheads de Buenos Aires siguen esta tradición.
Troyanos mostrará la parte de la historia británica (cómo nació y se fue transformando el movimiento), pero hará especial hincapié en cómo fue recibido y adaptado en Buenos Aires. Será un documental con un estilo formal expositivo, en el que se usarán principalmente entrevistas y material de archivo. Una vez desarraigado el prejuicio del espectador común, se mostrarán las distintas aristas de una tan interesante como poco explorada cultura.

Jointly presented with Havana, Cuba's International Festival of New
Latin American Cinema, the Havana Film Festival New York is
close, but no cigar. Subways and skyscrapers just can't match that fallen
Habanero elegance as a habitat for Latino cinema. But if Cuba isn't on your
itinerary and Manhattan is, you could do worse than to savor a
week of Big Apple screenings from and about Latin America and
the Caribbean, and about Latinos in the U.S.

The Retrospektive at the Berlinale usually excites all types of film historians, curators, museum personnel, and other interested parties--especially when it's a German subject. This year, a restored version of Fritz Lang's 1927 Metropolis trumped the Retrospektive itself, which was a look-back at significant and sometimes controversial films shown at the film festival since it began in 1951--in far warmer June weather.

Director: Maria Rosa Andreotti.
“I should be given the title of Summa Cum Laude bum”, states Ramon Rojas to camera in the first minutes of this documentary portrait shot in the streets of Buenos Aires by visual artist Maria Rosa Andreotti. Musician, street poet, bum by own choice, anarchist, Rojas is one of those urban characters so marginal to the system that is virtually invisible to a majority of society.
“Ramón Rojas – Sueños de chozas” [“Ramón Rojas – Dreams of huts”] looks at the experience and outlook of a man whose culture is his haven and his value of survival. The documentary looks into Ramón’s paradoxes as well as at the decisions to which one may be driven, almost to the limit of losing the most intimate thing we have – the right to privacy, to fantasy and hence, to individual freedom, for all of which a home or a refuge is absolutely necessary.
Re-discovered by Andreotti’s camera, Rojas is featured as an essential part of the current social and economic Argentine landscape.
