Film Festival in Cartagena, Colombia
JANUARY 26, 2012
Films representing 24 countries will be featured at the 2012 Cartagena International Film Festival (FICCI), Latin America’s longest-running film festival, which will take place on February 23-29. Audiences can look forward to over 100 National and 8 World Premieres. The program includes 12 features in the Official Dramatic Competition, 13 documentaries in the Official Documentary Competition, 11 “Gems,” and 20 short films, while the majority of the 12 films in "Colombia al 100%" section will be making their World Premiere. Tribute will be paid to the San Sebastian Film Festival and to Isabella Rossellini, who will be present at the festival along with Claire Denis, who will be celebrated in a Retrospective. Other guests will include the Brazilian master Héctor Babenco, the actors Gael García Bernal, Rodrigo Santoro and Jorge Perugorría, and the directors of the films competing in the official competitions. FICCI will also transform one of the city's “plazas” in the heart of Cartagena’s beautiful Historic Center, into an open-air “Cinema Under the Stars," where four large-format digitized films will screen with impeccable quality to 8,000-strong audiences.
"Infrastructure is the key word of this year’s festival,” says FICCI Director Monika Wagenberg. “This year, we will be focusing our efforts not just on the festival’s physical infrastructure - venues in the Historic Center, which is the heart of the festival, have been renovated and new ones built - but on its human infrastructure: the outstanding team of talented professionals we have assembled, all of whom hold the festival close to their hearts. The last year’s crop of films includes some remarkable works that will without doubt join the canon of great cinema, and we are proud to have them as part of our program. This year's Festival is unmissable: combining a first rate program, theaters in the best possible conditions, and the opportunity to meet and talk with the directors of most of the films, and several high profile film personalities. In celebration of our vision, this year we have thrown open the doors of our theaters in the Old City so that everyone, without charge, can take advantage of this unprecedented cinematic event.”

For a full listing of sections, films and other information, the official 2012 FICCI program can be downloaded HERE in PDF format.
Also announced were the films selected to participate in the "Nuevos Creadores" section and the Cartagena Meetings event, which encompasses the 7th International Producers Meeting, a Documentary Filmmaking Workshop, the Colombian Film Video Library, a Film Festival Management Workshop and the 6th Film Criticism Workshop. And finally, the announcement that Belgian conductor Paul Dury will be leading Colombia’s 80-strong National Symphonic Orchestra in a performance of a dozen film scores accompanying scenes which will be projected on a giant screen.
No mention was yet made of Salón FICCI or what we can expect at the closing ceremony, but these will certainly be amongst the surprise announcements the organizers will be making in forthcoming weeks.
The official 2012 FICCI program was released on January 20, just a month before the festival kicks off. To mark the occasion, over 100 members of the press and Colombia’s film community attended an exclusive screening of Violeta Went To Heaven — a film by the Chilean director Andrés Wood, that will be participating in the Gems section of the festival — at the Multiplex Andino de Cine Colombia.
Se reveló el programa del 52º FICCI lleno de novedades y estrenos
26 ENERO 2012
Con más de 100 estrenos nacionales, 8 mundiales y la representación de 24 países, se dio a conocer el programa de la próxima edición del Festival Internacional de Cine de Cartagena de Indias -FICCI-, que se llevará a cabo del 23 al 29 de febrero de 2012. 12 películas en la Competencia Oficial Ficción, 13 en la Competencia Oficial Documental, 12 estrenos en la sección Colombia al 100% donde la mayoría tendrá su premier mundial, 20 cortometrajes en competencia, 11 títulos en la sección Gemas, tributo a Isabella Rossellini, una retrospectiva de Claire Denis, -ambas invitadas que estarán presentes en el festival, junto al maestro brasilero Héctor Babenco, los actores Gael García Bernal, Jorge Perugorría y Rodrigo Santoro ademas de todos los directores de las competencias oficiales-; y las Conchas de Oro del Festival de Cine de San Sebastián, Cine bajo las estrellas, entre otras novedades es lo que se viene para esta cita con el festival de cine más antiguo de América Latina.
Según la directora, Monika Wagenberg "Para esta edición del FICCI, la palabra clave es infraestructura. Este año el esfuerzo en el cual estamos trabajando concierne no solo a la infraestructura física del Festival - los espacios del Casco Histórico, el corazón físico del Festival, llegaran renovados y algunos totalmente nuevos - sino también la infraestructura humana, es decir, la conformación del equipo del certamen. La cosecha de cine del 2011 y lo que llevamos del 2012 ha traído varias obras que permanecerán en la memoria de los cinéfilos y estamos orgullosos de poder contar con ellas en nuestro programa. Las podrán descubrir a través de nuestras diferentes secciones, las cuales, cabe anotar, mantienen el perfil que delineamos en la edición del FICCI 51. El Festival está imperdible, tenemos una selección de primer nivel, las salas en las mejores condiciones y la oportunidad de tener a los directores de la gran mayoría de estas películas, además de grandes personajes del cine para compartir de primera mano sus experiencias. Hemos abierto las puertas de nuestras salas del centro histórico para que todos, sin costo alguno, puedan disfrutar de esta oferta cinematográfica sin precedentes".

Unlearning everything we've learned!
Today I am meditating on the word UNleArn~
I will post my thoughts tonight.......
"I do not belong to the category of the learned. My whole life has been based on a fundamental truth which can only be called unlearning. Whatever the society has forced me to learn, through the schools and the colleges and the universities, my work has been how to unlearn it; how to clean myself from all this junk, rubbish and all kinds of crap. I am not a learned man. Perhaps I might be the most unlearned man in the world. And I would hate to be respected by the present humanity - it does not have that intelligence, nor has it that heart, nor has it that being." quote by ~Osho at JP
Have a beautiful day!
NAMASTE~

AIM TELL-A-VISION REPRESENTS “AFROLATINOS” DOCUMENTARY SERIES
~Groundbreaking Documentary Series Shines Light on African Diaspora in Latin America~
January 17, 2012- AIM Tell-A-Vision® Group (AIM TV), the company that pioneered English language programming for American Latinos, announced today they will be representing “AfroLatinos: The Untaught Story®”, a one of a kind, groundbreaking documentary series four years in the making from award winning producer Renzo Devia’s Creador Pictures®.
The AfroLatinos documentary series is the first of this magnitude to be made with the documentary team traveling under often extreme conditions to Afro-Latino communities and locales in over 18 countries to conduct over 200 interviews and gather rare archival footage.
Eight one hour Spanish language episodes are themed to cover the Afro-Latino experience including; History Parts 1 & 2, Religion, Music, Dance, Identity, Women’s Roles & Gastronomy, and Social Issues & Solutions. An identically themed, additional eight episodes in English will include original English language interviews as well as a larger focus on the Afro Latino experience in the U.S.
AfroLatinos Producers, Renzo Devia and Co-producer & Writer Alicia Anabel Santos have enlisted dozens of experts on the Afro-Latino experience and in the process have become experts themselves. They have traveled the Americas conducting workshops at colleges and universities and have helped create one book on the subject with another in progress.
"This documentary series aims to educate the world on the African influence in Latin American culture. We hope to help stop racial discrimination and create more awareness of social issues affecting Afros in Latin America,” states Renzo Devia, Executive Producer of the series.
“AfroLatinos are not a passing trend. This is the story of over 150 million afro-descendants who have been without voice. This is a story that needs to be told and we celebrate AfroLatinos everyday,” states Alicia Anabel Santos, Co-Producer and Writer.
In addition to over 150 Million Afro-Latinos in Latin America and the Caribbean, there are millions more making up a significant portion of U.S. Latinos, the largest minority group in the United States. Millions of dollars are currently being invested in the development of Afro-Latino communities and the U.S. State Department is working with the producers to educate Senators and Congressmen on the issues effecting black communities in Latin America. With the United Nations General Assembly proclaiming 2011 as the International Year for People of African Descent, awareness of the under reported Afro- Latino culture and history is at an all time high.
AIM TV will be attending the upcoming NATPE convention to screen the series for interested broadcast, and cable outlets as well as the media. Visit WWW.AFROLATINOS.TV for more information.

Meditation 18: Let There Be Love
At 6:00pm on New Years Eve he transitioned from this place. His name was Alfonso. He was Colombian and he was my friend. Alfonso was a ray of light. Whenever I came to Bogota to visit I would make it a point visit him at El Parque Lourdes, where he worked in Champinero. Alfonso sold minutes in the plaza to people who couldn’t afford cell phones.
HIS LIGHT… that is what I will remember most about him. How he would begin screaming in excitement when he saw me coming. He was proud that I finished writing my book. He couldn’t wait to read it in Spanish. A brain hemorrhage put him in a coma. He was my age forty. Young full of life and filled with SO MUCH LOVE. He was an expression of love and joy that he shared with everyone he touched. I am happy that the memory I have of him was dancing, smiling and joking with me in the park.
We were walking into a nightclub when we heard the news that Alfonso was no longer with us… He was taken off the machines Saturday and his spirit left his body. I danced that entire evening in his name.
How will you live your life in 2012 and the rest of your days?
To Aflonso… donde quiera que estes… yo se que estas bien.. mi amigo te adoro… eres luz… se que estas con tus guias espirituales… tu angel de la guardia… se que estas mejor que nosotros… nos veremos un dia… que dios te bendiga… en pas descanses… besote tu Alicia
Let there be love… that’s what I have been thinking about… this is my word for 2012 – LOVE!!!
Love is what we must strive for… not just love in what we do… our dreams… me as a writer, you as a dancer, actor, singer, mother, father, businesswoman/man… not just at work… but to all those in our lives… all those we walk by… even those we don’t know.
LET THERE BE LOVE of humanity, animals and the environment. We all deserve to be loved and we all have so much love to give. Tell someone you don’t know that you love them… people are so afraid to show love, share love, give love… don’t be afraid… no one can take your love away from you. It’s yours to give.
If no one has told you they love you today allow me to be the first…
I LOVE YOU!!!
And so it is!
I AFFIRM: Today I will be an expression of love in all that I do. Today I will be love with everyone that I meet. Today I will allow love to be my state of mind.

I am so excited about this part of my journey. I am excited about the opportunity to meet knew people and build community. I may not have reached my $6,000 goal but I have in fact REACHED MY GOALS for 2011. So far I have $265.00 towards the beginning of my book tour and I intend on stretching it as far as I can go. Once I return from Bogota, Colombia IT’S ON! WATCH ME!
I am so grateful to all of you who supported me during this entire process, to all those who have always supported my work I LOVE YOU!
To all those who contributed to my indiegogo campaign please look out for your gifts when I return to New York City in January. From the depths of me thank you.
2012 The Year of Completion!!!!
Its time we complete things! Its time we begin that thing we have always wanted and arrive to completion. What 2012 being the year of completion means to me is that many of my projects are nearing completion. My spiritual life and personal life are finally aligning. All is in perfect order. But we are still not done yet. There is still much to do to arrive to COMPLETION.
I still need your help. My plan is to begin my book tour once I arrive end of January and continue my tour until the end of March and so although my indiegogo campaign is done I am reaching out to you to donate what you can to help me continue the tour along the way.
There are many ways you can help me…
There are several flights I need to book so if you have airline miles you would like to donate I would happily accept that.
If you have a community of people you would like to invite to my reading in your town send me their emails so that I can add them to my newsletter email list.
If you are a book club send me your contact information – help me to promote in your city. There are many cities where I do not have contacts so I will definitely need your help and ensuring that I have a great turnout at each event.
If you would like to host me in your city to save on hotel costs – I ACCEPT!
Anything you can do to help me achieve this incredible dream is appreciated.
