Life in Exile

Cultural Mexicali, Part I

For Annouck

In this series of articles which we will develop a little, we want to emphasize that cultural activity - the most overlooked, is again slowly making a dent in the state. Without wishing to Barbados to anyone or insult anyone, I think little by little - a little earlier, shortly after the earthquake more or less - cultural issues in our city so forgotten, that have always existed but never had given them the necessary importance, are turning the corner after the rut that we live after the end of the nineties, when SuperFranquicias Maquilalandia and came to lend more to lose in the area, so crammed with the pseudo beer, caguamota between the eggs, and other expected depths of a city that still until the nineties - before Carlos Salinas did m ... ejidos to become new malls and micromini pichoneras, new local and non-real estate.


Among the authors, so to call them, these artists Mexicali and no, I have been trying to renew or emphasis as the Stylite in the desert - lol - in promoting art and culture both in our state, as in city \u200b\u200bitself, we have to Ricardo Gomez, a young actor with a career and - Worth the oxymoron - in the city of Mexicali, with enough time acting, driving, and also acting as both plays in their own projects.


to talk briefly about the history of Ricardo Gomez, it would take quite some time, although brief, suffice it to mention that this guy - for those who are chilangolandia or other places or countries, has worked in the conduct of television programs in local channel 66, also in the cultural program of ICBC (Institute Baja California culture) cultural news called 'Shades' and also other less known side of Richard, is the program that features Internet, called' La Vida No Script "program comedy that already has developed with time group of actor friends, with some success.

Program "life unscripted" with Ricardo Gomez-Felipe-Teresina Tututi Vital: made 100% in Mexicali ... and he owed this review to my friend Ricardo ...

As we can see, just to sample the acting work of Ricardo, and his companions, Felipe Tututi, Teresina vital, not only has great talent in the state, but also in Mexicali as always None at the center of the Republic-all going to end chilangos Ensenada, scared of the heat - and Tijuana, always the center of the world, could have much more relevant, if not for the internal vendettas which are so prone Tijuanenses. (She is straightforward, it hurts, but sorry I do)


Well, also because not only acting, but began to have direction in Mexicali, where they are putting a lot of good cultural projects, such as Luv in Mexicali, Miguel Cetto Kramis, who heads Pantomime actors and theater, and also find new and alternative projects, like today at eight, it was the video presentation of a rather novel, in the IMAX theater Sol del Niño Museum.

People entering the presentation of the film "Waiting" today April 13 to 8 pm. There was good turnout of people ...

Because it was the presentation of the film actor and director Daniel Galo, who directed the short film "Waiting", short quite interesting in its proposal ....



Here are some pictures of the event ...

actor and co-producer of the film, Felipe Tututi, the microphone ...

Daniel Galo, Director short film "Waiting" to the microphone. Very interesting your vision and analysis of the local situation at the border, and their proposals ...

Just as interesting was that it was named among 5 finalists for Best Short Film at the Cannes Film Festival ....



I say, and I repeat: in Mexicali, NO talent.


We could talk a little more with the Director, Daniel Galo, very handsome indeed, who at his age has a busy career on the social implications of such films. He was quite animated, and many other projects in the pipeline. in this case our good friend Ricardo just participated a cameo in the film and as associate producer, along with another great artist of the border, Felipe Tututi actor, who is fully involved in the film, along with the son of Ricardo and Reyna Bañuelos amateur actress.


We were pleasantly surprised this news, we hope also to be reporting more often, and the like to note that in Mexicali There's history, pretty good stories to tell, the richness of the film, no dialogue, just background music of Moby , is very rich and deep, by addressing complex social issues in the history of documentary: the daily life of a prostitute as an adult, at the border. It addresses several themes in this video: both hard life the middle-aged prostitute, pedophilia, prostitution itself, violence / crime urban daily machismo so common in this border, alcoholism, etc, all subjects seem to come together, and summed up as short minutes it takes this short, rich highly polished, of a quality not just to be on the tour of "Traveling" by Diego Luna and Gael, but also to be where, as competing to win the Cannes award-winning medal.

Hopefully, then, that so, and from here, send a hug again, and congratulations to the participants of this great project.

To see that in Mexicali nomas .... IF you know a thing ... is pleased to be seeking people who are "doing things We only offer no talking "as the good Richard, and I think so, this way, the DO, not just talk, is the secret of success ... for all ...


is good to see that finally, in the state culture is being promoted as it deserves. NOT OF A FREE: many times - I know - you have to cut stones, the artists, knock wall, and is to be so DALE Y DALE Y DALE (thing that Mexicali are very good: we re fools, this is a feature our very own, this is how we get things, and sometimes the gallants, I add hehee)


'll see that lie within a short cultural horizon here in Mexicali. by In the meantime, we began reporting on events / characters in the latest culture and relevant. Positive people, willing to fight and overcome, and succeed, DESERVES TO BE NOTICED, and this humble effort in this blog, it is a little step, little by little, to go in this direction ...



NOTE: This post is duplicated on my other blog "Retrokitsch" for those who DO NOT want to get to this blog, and go straight. Or vice versa ....

Greetings to all the artists / creative Mexicali they are doing something ... keep it up .... Weekly column

Japan

For Annouck

At the head of my bed, among the books that I have hand, is 's book "Hiroshima," testimony from a reporter about the survivors of 2nd World War. The book consists of 6 lurid testimonies of six people, different from each other, they managed to survive the detonation of the Hiroshima bomb. The book has several stages - still not finished - first speech of everyday life in Japan, a life quite different from today's highly technological and industrial Japan, a life in time of war, where the food, and way of life was conditioned by the economy of war, with soldiers patrolling the streets, some still on earth, and the broad green field dominated much of the landscape. the second stage talks about the reaction of the six players in the disaster when the atomic blast literally throws, to various sites that were in a lucky fluke, where fortune accidentally saves them from certain death. in a third step, the book starts to speak - as far as I go - in the testimony of the characters they observe, narrate, comment as they left the city looking after the outbreak, deaths, fires, and the understandable result of high energy outbreak of a weapon, knowing their horrific effects on laboratory tests in the open field was used deliberately by Truman, without any logical justification, Japan had already lost the war and was technically paid - more than the morbid pleasure to try the toy.

Morbido; Truman should, should know. Even so, by ordering the detonation of Fat Man and Little Boy - pumps up with names 'prosaic' members - the president of the United States detonated at the same time, the arms race, promoted the gringo army manipulation of government for their own profit, and exploitation of nuclear energy for other uses, none of them, ultimately, positive.

* * *

After more than 70 years of horrible war, after many years of peace, yet the world continued with the use of nuclear energy energy generation. oil, already in the forties, knew of his next final, and gas was only up power, nuclear energy, the promising future.

to Three Mile Island. the big crash of flight when it melted part of a nuclear reactor plant in Coney Island, in the U.S. in 1979. The horror of the 'possibility' of what could be, was reflected in the now famous film, The China Syndrome "now I think that is a bit forgotten, but at the time was overwhelming, lost B Science Fiction movies and films Catastrophes of terrifying, so popular in the 70's - and you left pretty scary @, I must say.

Extract The China Syndrome, with the then-popular Jane Fonda - as a Left-and Michael's dad Douglas, in his best heyday.

* * *

As the lesson was not learned what happened at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl have come to understand better the consequences of a nuclear explosion.


Indeed, Chernobyl, in Russian, means Wormwood.

Which by the way the Bible is a rather chilling paragraph in the apocalypse that talks about the star called "wormwood" which falls to the ground. in a flash ... Coincidence?


About Chernobyl seems to be everything and that, even so, the consequences of terrible accident were far beyond the borders, since the start of the end of the Cold War, through the wars of the countries of Eastern Europe "in their struggle against the autocratic rule of then-Stalinist to acid rain and spread radioactive of the toxic cloud by several European countries - I think I get to France, a country that should have been chastened by the horror of Chernobyl, to say nothing of the explosion of Hiroshima / Nagasaki, but there has its nuclear Plantota, along with their wines;! the environmentalists!

After 9 earthquake in Japan, among the dead, injury, destruction, and economic destruction that will follow, lasting this once power in recovering the economic level they once had-role already being subtracted from China, more pragmatic and better economically than Japan (not for nothing was the birthplace of Confucius and Lao-Tse, among other philosophers).




But beyond economics, the devastation of the country more technologized the world, the Japanese collective consciousness, a people day and night in his sleep late comics and manga, breathing worlds apocalyptic nightmares torn apart by a thousand and one circumstances, reflected in dreams of his comic opiates beautiful and nubile cyber princes, princesses and super-powerful the thousand and one monster, turned to arm a million and one times, going from Godzilla to the subconscious terrors of Final Fantasy, all monsters over and repeated thousands of times, just add the one and only one monster, the thing that I touched, the only nation to which he has played this horrible monster - so far:





The monster of the Holocaust and nuclear radiation.



I recommend for now, to review the blog of my esteemed Mario Bogarin , an expert on Japanese collective dreams, sure now, will have something interesting to say about it. (If you understand, of course, hopefully this article comes a little more clear for us neophytes in Japanese) Waiting for your next article, Mario ... see you'll have to say about it.



Hopefully next is the reconstruction of Japan ... that nothing bad happens .... but an embrace of solidarity to all the Japanese people from this place in exile ...


PS I tell my friends-macrobiotic health food of a good support Ensenada-in addition of iodine, prevention has proven effective against radiation, as in the case of Chernobyl for example - that if they can take something called Pasta Miso, Seaweed besides. According to the macrobiotic

, Miso was largely what the symptoms cured of exposure to radioactivity in the case of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in some people exposed. Miso is a fermented paste of soybeans - their effects are similar to yogurt, which is Saladita as soy sauce. taken at a soup with tofu and seaweed, or added to foods. is added before serving so that digestive enzymes are not damaged by heat.

Marine Algae on the other hand, help in cases of exposure to radiation, and a nice addition, dietary supplements, because they contain high doses of trace elements, minerals, and one that MAS is the iodine-contain and be within sea, I guess.

so if you have chance, to bind to the seaweed and miso, my dear ... Column
