LA, Smokin' Mirrors & SubCine Present: Hollywood Video
Slam JUNE 3RD ! ! !
Share
your work - Meet other Latino media makers - Shake your groove
thing to tunes after the screening.
What's
a Film Slam?
It's
like a poetry slam but with flicks: people show up with
their best five minutes of their film or video cued up. We
show the films randomly (NO first come, first serve--we want
you to hang out!), the filmmaker is introduced and can say a
couple of words and the night goes on like that.
from
7-7:45: we collect the vids (VHS, DVD format)
from
8-10p: we watch the vids
The Slam/Mixer is
generously hosted by Smokin’ Mirrors Studios, 4928 Hollywood
Blvd, and will offer live DJ entertainment from 10
p.m. to midnight immediately following the screenings. The
event is free and open to the public. For more info,
email Sonia Gonzalez: LaSone189@aol.com.

MEMBER NEWS: Pepe
Urquijo’s documentary “Of
Mexican Descent” (OMD) leads audiences through the world of a
Los Angeles music industry not often seen—underground Chicano
Hiphop. With the members of the Hiphop group of the same name
as guides, 2Mex and Xololanxinxo, “OMD” shows us insightful
glimpses of this world and how OMD the group survives as “smart artists”—performers who
independently control the creation, production and
distribution of their music. The end result is not a music
video, but instead an entertaining how-to-guide that also
spotlights the duo's personalities. Pepe is please to announce
that OMD was recently screened in New York’s famed Tribeca
Film Festival. DAY WITHOUT A MEXICAN, the cheeky feature
co-written by our own Sergio Guerrero is
screening in 50 theatres in Southern Califas right
now!
Raquel
Almazan will perform excerpts from her
collaborative performance piece She Wolves during
-scopeLos Angeles as part of the Cinema-scope opening
reception. She Wolves depicts women through four
female archetypes [the Ancient Warrior, the Falsely
Enlightened Corset, the Modern C.E.O. and Futuristic Virgin
Stripper] in an absurdist fashion. The four archetypes
collide in this multi-layered collaboration of movement, media
and text. Excerpts of the video piece, She
Wolves, created by Almazan in collaboration with Tatiana
Sainz will also be presented during -scopeLos Angeles at The
Standard Hotel in downtown LA from May 21 through 24. Check www.shewolves.net for
details.
Capitol Hill may get into Nielsen
brouhaha
Some lawmakers on the House Commerce Committee
are calling for a congressional investigation into the
accuracy of data derived from Nielsen Media Research's
new Local People Meter. Nielsen has come under increasing
pressure to justify LPM data, which critics say undercounts
minorities. Nielsen has maintained that the system actually
delivers more accurate data, and noted this week that numbers
show blacks and Hispanics are watching more cable TV than
broadcast. Yahoo!/Reuters/Hollywood Reporter (5/13),

The Media Arts Center San Diego,
producer of the annual San Diego Latino Film Festival,
continues its special monthly film series, ³Cinema En Tu
Idioma² with the feature EN LA PUTA VIDA / A TRICKY LIFE
(Uruguay, 35mm, 98 min.) The film has won
awards internationally for best feature, best director and
special prizes at film festivals in Spain, Cuba, and
Colombia. It was also an audience favorite at the 2003
San Diego Latino Film Festival.
EN LA PUTA VIDA / A TRICKY LIFE will
be screened for ONE WEEK ONLY exclusively at Madstone Theaters
Hazard Center (off the 163 Freeway on Friars Road) starting

week-long run kicks-off this Friday, May 14th with a
complimentary wine reception, exhibition of original artwork

Set in Barcelona, the
film tells the story of Elisa, whose dreams of a better life
in Spain land her in the world of international
prostitution. Trapped in an economy driven by crooked
cops and international traffickers, Elisa struggles to regain
her freedom and return to her children in Uruguay. From
showdowns with sleazy bosses to battles with Brazilian
cross-dressers, writer/director Beatrice Flores Silva uses
Almodovaresque touches to provide a colorful treatment of the
perils facing women today. This fascinating film

moments. For mature audiences. In Spanish with English
subtitles.
The film¹s compelling narrative was
based on an actual international prostitution trade scandal
that rocked Uruguay in 1992. It stars the
delightful Mariana Santangelo who plays the lovable and spunky
heroine Elisa. The film is director Beatrice Flores
Silva¹s second feature which follows her highly successful
comedy, La Historia Casi Verdadera de Pepita la Pistolera

AMERICA'S HEART AND
SOUL
Documentary
Director, Producer, Cinematographer:
Louis Schwartzberg Featuring the original song "The World
Don't Bother Me None" by: John Mellencamp Executive Producer:
Jake Eberts
America is a vast
country three thousand miles from end to end. But
it's not the land that makes America so special it's the
people. Filmmaker Louis Schwartzberg packed up his
camera and hit the road, with a goal of capturing both the
unparalleled beauty of the land and
the incomparable sprit of the people.
Through his movie, "America's Heart and Soul,"
you'll have the chance to meet ordinary Americans with
extraordinary stories. Louis's gift is his ability to connect
with people, honestly capturing their values, dreams, and
passion in an
awe-inspiring journey that reveals the
stories - unusual, captivating, inspiring and emotional - that
make us into something more than a collection of individuals.
"America's Heart and Soul" is a celebration of a
nation told through the voices of its people.
