Santos, Yoe F (Feb, 2008) : Sonar en voz alta...Testimonio de Gratitud a dialogos...

Soñar en voz alta…

Compartir y competir por la excelencia y la proyección positiva de la institucionalidad, el talento y la libertad, sin renunciar al amar y al sembrar, bebiendo del legado de solidaridad humana, de los ya idos/as y retroalimentando -esperanzas, aprendizajes, motivación intrínseca y autoafirmación- para los y las que ya están, y de los que vendrán.

"Es una cosa bastante repugnante el éxito. Su falsa semejanza con el mérito, engaña a los hombres".

Víctor Hugo

“(…) Un pueblo informado es un pueblo maduro para tomar todas las decisiones políticas importantes. De ahí que los medios de comunicación deban ser compañeros de viaje que eviten el sectarismo y la manipulación. (…) buenas leyes deben evitar que la libertad de expresión sea mal utilizada (…) Frente al exhibicionismo (…) lo que hace falta es mayor educación en el valor de la autonomía y en el auto-respeto. Frente a los atentados, desde la libertad de expresión (…)Y en relación con el secreto y su mala utilización por el poder político, lo más oportuno es mantener la labor de vigilancia y control de los ciudadanos y de los medios de comunicación. (…) punto de referencia básico (…) para enfrentarnos con libertad, discernimiento y también cierto distanciamiento a las agresiones a la libertad de expresión por parte de los que les gustaría dominarla y de los que hacen un uso frívolo e irresponsable de ella (...)”

(…) En la República Dominicana, muchas de las que están emigrando a Europa (…) las enfermeras son muy bien valoradas.

We believe in your sensibility and solidarity: One Invitation for You and your organization

I hope you'll consider joining an innovative human rights group, called WITNESS, where I have recently become a member.

http://www.witness.org/register

WITNESS is a human rights organization rooted in the principle that “a picture is worth a 1,000 words.” By partnering with local organizations around the globe, WITNESS empowers human rights defenders to use video as a tool to shine a light on those most affected by human rights violations. Since its founding in 1992 by musician and advocate Peter Gabriel, WITNESS has partnered with more than 200 human rights groups in 50 countries, bringing often untold stories and unheard voices to the attention of key decision makers, the media, and general public to create lasting change.

As a WITNESS online activist, you can view video documentation of human rights violations in countries like Burma, Sierra Leone, and Uganda, for example, and sign online petitions to end those practices. Or you can just sign up to receive e-mail updates, all for free.

I hope you'll join WITNESS today:

Celebrate Black History Month with African and African Diaspora Film...

Celebrate Black History Month with African and African Diaspora Film
Posted by: africanfilm.com, african.beat
Sat Feb 9, 2008 1:39 pm (PST)
Dear Colleague,
Are you looking for new teaching and communication tools to celebrate Black History Month? ArtMattan Productions offers a rich and unique selection of films that focus on the human experience of black people in Africa, the Caribbean, North and South America, Australia and Europe. All these films were shown during our annual African Diaspora Film Festival in New York.

NEW ACQUISITIONS
+++++++++++++++++
By the award winning Director of Daratt, Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, ArtMattan Productions is pleased to bring to you, now available for the first time with English subtitles, the award winning film
SOTIGUI KOUYAT€ ¦É, A MODERN GRIOT
>>>>> SOTIGUI KOUYAT€ ¦É, A MODERN GRIOT
Chad/France, 1996, 58min, French with English subtitles, doc., Mahamat-Saleh
Haroun, dir.
Through testimonies by Peter Brook, Jean-Claude Carriere, Jean-Pierre Guigane,
and Sotigui Kouyate himself, the film dresses the portrait of one of Africa?s greatest actors now based in Paris, France. From Africa to Europe, the film unveils the multiple facets of Sotigui Kouyate, actor, musician and modern
griot.

Winner ACCT award at the Amiens Film Festival, 1996. Official Selection, African Diaspora Film Festival 2007.
?a man with an extraordinary presence and quality?
When casting The Mahabharata, Peter Brook?s assistant scoured through film studios in search of an actor to take on one of the lead roles, Bhisma the sage.

?I saw one shot of a tree and a man as tall and slender as this tree, with an extraordinary presence and quality. It was Sotigui,? recalls Brook in this documentary about the actor. Born in 1936 in Bamako (Mali), Kouyat€ ¦é belongs to an illustrious family of griots?masters of words who are at once genealogists, historians, masters of ceremonies, advisers, mediators, singers and musicians.

He has handed down all these talents, as a composer, dancer, actor and father, to his own children and a multitude of ?spiritual children? dispersed across the world, for whom he is a precious guide. Filling each of his roles with profound dignity, he has appeared in some 60 films, including Sia: The Dream of the Python directed by his son Dany Kouyate and Names Live Nowhere by Dominique Loireau in which he follows African immigrants in Europe and tells their story only as a griot could do.

Both films are available at
http://www.AfricanFilm.com.
?Despite years away from home and a career spanning many cultures, Malian actor and griot Sotigui Kouyat€ ¦é has not strayed from his foremost mission: to break ignorance of Africa?s living traditions and spark encounters across continents? Cynthia Guttman, UNESCO Courier journalist
>>>>> YOUSSOU N?DOUR: RETURN TO GOREE
Senegal/Switzerland/Luxembourg, 2006, 108min, English and French with English subtitles, Pierre-Yves Borgeaud, dir.

A musical road movie, Youssou N'Dour: Return to Gor€ ¦ée follows Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour's historical journey tracing the trail left by slaves and the jazz music they created. Youssou N'Dour's challenge is to bring back to Africa a jazz repertoire of his own songs to perform a concert in Gor€ ¦ée, the island
that today symbolizes the slave trade and stands to honor its victims. From Atlanta to New Orleans, from New York to Bordeaux and Luxembourg, the songs are transformed, immersed in jazz and gospel.

Transcending cultural divisions and rehearsing with of some of the world's most exceptional musicians, Youssou N'Dour is preparing to return to Africa for the final concert...

?The musical documentary ?Youssou N?Dour: Return To Goree? offers a meeting ground of cultures?as well as a history of imperialism, Western and pre-Western colonialism, coercion and subversion. Director Pierre-Yves Borgeaud rightfully imagines that such a story can be told visually by looking at the relationship between what is called jazz and contemporary West African music.
In the process, Borgeaud creates a portrait in sound of the Black Atlantic.

Whether the subjects of the film are communicating in English, French or Arabic, the resonance of African indigenous cultures is expressed instrumentally or vocally across national boundaries.? Astride Charles--SeeingBlack.com Contributing Critic

Also now available from ArtMattan Productions is HOMECOMING from South Africa, Opening Night film, African Diaspora Film Festival 2006.
>>>>>>> HOMECOMING
South Africa, 2005, 90 min, drama in English, Morman Maake, dir.
Charlie, Thabo and Peter, three "MK" veterans from the armed branch of the African National Congress, return to post-apartheid South Africa in 1996 after years of exile. It will not be easy for them to find their place in society again. Charlie dreams of opening a club,

Thabo has to patch up his relationship
with his wife and son and Peter continues to work in the Party and investigate the traitors of the ANC. Continuously hampered as he delves into the Government's files, his ensuing investigations provide shocking revelations of the identities of the traitors.

Pared down from a successful mini series for the South African Broadcasting Corporation, Homecoming draws its plot from the
real life experiences of acclaimed filmmaker and writer, Zola Maseko, a former "MK" soldier of the ANC. Morman Maake (26) is perhaps the most promising young director from South Africa.

He studied at ADFA, a dynamic young film- and drama school in Johannesburg. He has several films to his name, amongst which Sweet Home (1999), Soldiers of Rock (2003), and Homecoming (2005).
Below, please find an index of titles by theme such as Religion,
Music, Women Studies, Arab Studies, Afro-Latino Studies, Francophonie, and more.

F. D. Halcomb: Open Letter to reporter Jami Floyd from CNN...about current articles and political campaign.

This is my response to CNN reporter Jami Floyd who believes that voter ID laws would be a hardship on the elderly, the poor, the disabled, people of color, and the poorly educated. I disagree.

I am disabled, poor, a senior citizen and of sound mind. I do not drive, but I have a photo ID that allows me to cash checks, get a library card, get medical treatment, or purchase beer now and then.

Getting an ID is so simple that even an 18-year-old voting for the first time or applying for a driver’s license can do it.

Not long ago, in a TN state election, a candidate was found to have received votes from dead citizens. That problem has always been with us, so a law requiring photo ID is not discriminating against illegal immigrants, the physically disabled, seniors, or those with little education. Healthy, educated people are the ones who are usually behind election fraud.

We do need election reform. If I can produce my ID in order to vote, for instance, there is no reason for me to not receive a receipt.

People who have served their time in prison should automatically have their right to vote restored. (Now THERE is discrimination against people of color!)

Election Day should be a national holiday and nonessential businesses should close to make it easier for workers to vote.

The Electoral College should be abolished. Presidential campaigns should be publicly financed to keep big corporations and special interest groups out of our government. More referendums should be held so that citizens can actively participate in the lawmaking process.

Miss Floyd, please continue to campaign for election reform, but don’t be concerned about the photo ID laws. They are a GOOD thing.

Respectfully,

F. D. Halcomb

Valores, actitudes o la revolución necesaria...

-Mirando estos 24 años en CCIAV.org y el mundo circundante-

“En la República Dominicana, no hay una industria de cine. Cuando tú no puedes contar, al menos con cuatro proveedores, de los elementos que utilizas en cada caso en la producción. Si quieres, si necesitas un actor de una edad, (…) un sonido, unas luces, no puedes elegir (…) luego al terminar la película, venga lío, para encontrar donde proyectarla (…) estás poniendo a inversionistas a que te confíen 10 o 20 millones de pesos(…) Los verdaderos héroes de la audiovisualidad dominicana, son los estudiantes de cine de la UASD (…) sin recursos, sin nada están produciendo (…) bueno ahora me dicen que ha mejorado algo (…) estamos haciendo esfuerzos desde este estudio que antes fue una planta de producción de agua embotellada, no algo diseñado, originalmente para la industria (…) ves por ejemplo en Argentina, todos los precios de los servicios están en la Internet. Todos. Entonces sabes antes de ir, por cuanto saldrá la producción. En RD, no ningún proveedor tiene estandarizados y transparentes sus precios, por concepto de los servicios que presta. Lo que obliga a que quien quiera venir a co-producir, tenga que viajar a RD, para entonces luego negociar, uno por uno con los proveedores (…) estamos interesados en producciones de bajo presupuesto, de 200 a 300 mil dólares.Vendrá pronto una producción polaca al estudio (…)”

Ángel Muñiz. Cineasta

Entrevista realizada por el videasta Oscar Grullón, para III Festival de Cine, Televisión y Video, Moca, Provincia Espaillat, organizado por Circuito Cultural Caramaná, enero, 2008

“(…) si me hubiera interesado sólo el dinero, entonces no elegiría invertir en el cine. Hubiera puesto un banco, una financiera, una compraventa. El artista tiene que mirar mas allá del
