[Guayaquil, ECUADOR] “SILENCIOS”
“SILENCIOS”
By Tirzah Russell de Franco
Thirty-two oil paintings on canvas form an art exhibit called “Silencios”, which was recently on display at “Todo Arte” Gallery in Urdesa part of Guayaquil, Ecuador. Servio Zapata, the Ecuadorian artist, spent a year and a half on these oil paintings. His desire is to express a passion for peace with scenes of trees, hills, waterfalls, beaches, and most of all, the tropical forest. The detailing of the trees is extraordinary! You feel like you were really there in the peacefulness of the forest! The scenes are inspired by the Ecuadorian countryside but are from Servio Zapata’s imagination. The Gallery “Todo Arte” is directed by Mirko Rodic and is open for viewing from Monday to Saturday. The exhibit closed Jan. 8th and now will be shown in Spain.

[Guayaquil, ECUADOR] Tropiflora 2009
Tropiflora 2009
By Tirzah De Franco
On the 30th anniversary of the Botanical Gardens of Guayaquil, Ecuador; a plant exhibition was held on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of September in the Crystal Palace. This two-story glass building on the boardwalk of the Guayas River was where the Ecuadorian Association of Orchids (Orchidology) and the Botanical Gardens of Guayaquil joined forces to bring us a delightful array of many types of plants ranging from ferns, African violets, geraniums, palms, bromides, lilies, bonsai, and the beloved Ecuadorian orchids along with other plants.
Different garden associations had their stands along with individual plant owners who were invited to display their plants. The flowers and plants were then judged in respective groups: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, plus honorable mention. Flowers combined with table settings were also judged. After seeing such beautiful plants one was inspired to start gardening! If the crowds wanted to purchase plants, there were many plants for sale ranging from $2 to $200.
The following are some pictures of my favorite plants from these special 3 days; bromelias, orchids, table settings, and the exhibition of the Guayaquil Orchid association.
Enjoy!

Ecuadorian Butterfly Exhibit @ Jardines del Malecón Simón Bolívar
By Tirzah De Franco
It is estimated that one fourth of ALL Butterfly species in the world are found in Ecuador. To enjoy them, one normally has to hike out into the mountains and surrounding forest. Recently however, those of us who live in the city had the opportunity to enjoy the butterflies without even leaving our town. In Guayaquil, Ecuador, at the gardens beside the boardwalk, there was an exhibition in which butterflies were shown. Maybe you are thinking they were shown lifeless, in little glass boxes or tanks. Wrong! The exhibition team made a huge netted area in the gardens, so that visitors entered and the butterflies of numerous sizes and colors, fluttered around them freely. We observed the butterflies in a lush natural environment, surrounded by plants and flowers. A true butterfly garden in the city!

High Flying On Martha’s Vineyard
High Flying
By Anna Marie D’Addarie
“History is the river we stand in,” Chet (Charlie Hudson, III) tells the audience at the beginning of “Fly,” the first play of the summer season at the Vineyard Playhouse. This play is all about history: not Black History or white-washed American History, but all our histories: each one of us who calls him or herself and American can lay claim to part of the story. Some of us may not like what we see.
“Fly” tells the story of the Tuskegee Airmen in World War II from flight training to success in the sky for the all-black air corp.
The play is framed with the Inauguration of President Obama where the Tuskegee Airmen were honored guests. Director, and co-playwright, Ricardo Khan has his cast of seven men tell the story with an in-your-face style that leaves no doubt these men will succeed and will not be broken by the racism all around them. On the first day of flight training, Capt. O’Hurley (Joe Forbrich) brags to the new trainees that he washed out 69% of the previous class. He has high hopes that he can break that record with the group he sees standing in front of him.
How these men get through the training is a testament to their sheer willpower. At almost every turn they are told they will not succeed: they are not smart enough; they do not poses the physical skills; they will turn and run in the face of danger; they are not patriotic enough to fight for their country. We in the audience know none of this is true. We sit comfortably in our seats in 2009. A black man is our president. But how many of us would have had the courage these aviators had to fight bravely for a country that didn’t even recognize them as men? Where does such courage come from? “Fly” tries to answer that question.
Tuskegee, Alabama
For those of us born after World War II, the story of the Tuskegee Airmen may be just a footnote. If nothing else, I hope this article inspires you to learn more about them. I had the pleasure of meeting James W. McLaurin, a DOTA, a Documented Original Tuskegee Airman. Mr. McLaurin is a big man who has a bright smile, a large hand that engulfs yours when he shakes it, and kind eyes with a twinkle in them. His voice is deep but not loud. He lives on Martha’s Vineyard part of the year and “Fly” has brought him into the spotlight. Mr. McLaurin met with the cast during rehearsals and provided valuable information but more importantly, inspiration. You can’t help but feel a deep admiration for him. At the opening night party on June 21, Mr. McLaurin spoke of those days in Tuskegee. He was 21 years old but had his pilot’s license for 5 years already. He said, “We all just wanted to fly.”
Telling the Story
The cast is very aware of their responsibility in telling this story. This isn’t just another play to add to their already impressive resumes. One night after a preview show, the tired cast stayed behind to talk to a Navy fighter pilot, a man in his 90s, now in a wheel chair who had just seen the show. The veteran congratulated the cast and one of them responded, “No. We thank you for your service.” It was a touching moment, one of many moments this play inspires.
“Fly” moves smoothly between memory and stark reality with the help of Ted Louis Levy who enhances the plot with his tap dancing, sometimes a sound effect, other times Greek chorus, always wonderful. Choreographer Hope Clarke elevates simple cadence to high art through Mr. Levy. The cast picks up the beat and soon everyone is flying including the audience.
The set is almost bare. A large projection screen fills the up-stage wall. Green military trunks and five stainless steel chairs are in a V formation on stage. The chairs become the fighter planes and the actors tip them back and forth precariously, keeping the audience on edge as we fear for them. Good staging by director Khan.
The sound effects, by Jim Novack, are perfect. Just the right amount of jarring gunfire and engine noise that seems to rise up from far away, inching closer, taking the audience into the action.
The cast, excellent all, are: Ted Louis Levy, the Tap Griot; Charlie Hudson, III, Chet; Robert Kama Robinson, W.W.; Samuel T. Gaines, Oscar; Mark Hairston, J. Allen; Joe Forbrich, Capt. O’Hurley; Walker Lewis, Col. Snopes. The play was written by Trey Ellis and Ricardo Khan.
“Fly” was commissioned by the Lincoln Center Institute for the Arts in Education and the Vineyard Playhouse production is billed as a “work-in-progress.”
Speaking at the opening night party to the assembled audience, cast, and crew, Mr. McLaurin said he has seen many (if not all) of the videos, documentaries, and films about the Tuskegee Airmen, but this play was the first time he cried. Nothing more needs to be said.

Merhaba Boston!

The 8th Annual TURKISH FILM FESTIVAL opened March 27th to a sold out audience at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The festival was opened by Erkut Gomulu, founder and director of the Boston Turkish Film Festival and was co-presented by the Turkish American Cultural Society of New England.
The film chosen to open the week long festival was Üç maymun (English Title: Three Monkeys); a 2008 Turkish film directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan.
The title “Üç maymun” refers to the traditional Japanese proverbial principle of the three monkeys that “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”; the same evils which Ceylan’s characters choose not to hear, see or speak of. We follow one family and a troubled politician as they attempt to avoid hardship and responsibilities that would otherwise be impossible to endure. The family endures these trials by attempting to ignore the cause; the truth. The plot centers on the question: Does playing “Three Monkeys” invalidate the truth of its existence?
Ceylan’s style of directing is evident throughout the movie. The film lacks any background music other than an uncomfortable cell phone ring, rain and nature; when asked about this, Üç maymun actor, Ercan Kesal, quoted Ceylan as saying “the music of life is more effective than background music”. Ceylan wants the viewer to make their own emotional connections with the individual characters. For example, he includes a fourth family member, a small boy, who in the movie we never learn the exact story of, but we are certain that both the father and son have feelings of unresolved guilt towards him. Ceylan’s photography background is also evident, the film being filmed in digital and faintly devoid of many colors other than washes of sepia and aqua infused with bright light and dark contrasts. Three Monkeys brought Ceylan the Best Director Award at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.
Along with the actress Ayça Damgaci from the film My Marlon and Brando, Üç maymun screenwriter and actor Ercan Kesal was seated in the audience. Kesal accepted the 2009 Boston Turkish Film Festival Excellence in Turkish Cinema Award following the screening in behalf of Nuri Bilge Ceylan, who was unable to attend the opening. Kesal also hosted a Q & A session following the movie and joined viewers at the film’s reception. Three Monkeys was Kesal’s first feature film; he jokingly told the audience that had anyone told him in 2007 that he’d be in Boston in 2009, he would have thought that would be a subject for a movie in itself. Kesal revealed to his American audience that he is actually a doctor by profession with a political background. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Social Anthropology.
The Turkish Film Festival runs at the MFA- Boston until April 5.
Other highlights include:
My Marlon and Brando / Gitmek by Huseyin Karabey – Saturday March 28, 2009 3:00 p.m.
“In March 2003, as American bombs began falling on Baghdad, Turkish actress Ayça Damgaci left her flat in Istanbul and headed for the Iraq border. Behind that cordon was Kurdish actor Hama Ali Khan, the love of Damgaci’s life- her moon and stars, her Marlon and her Brando, her everything. Hüseyin Karabey makes his narrative debut retelling the tale of Damgaci’s quixotic road trip to the war zone, with Damgaci playing herself and Khan appearing in the actual video love notes he sent to her during their time apart.” -Gitmek Facebook Page
Dot (Nokta) by Dervis Zaim – Friday, April 3, 2009 8:00 p.m.
“The film takes its subject from calligraphy; it is also shaped by the art form in terms of both form and content. The majority of Islamic poets interpreted everything in life as a book or a verse and endeavored to see calligraphy in everything animate and inanimate that existed in life. The value system shaping Ahmet, the lead character’s central dilemma thus derives from the moral values typically associated with a calligrapher. Ahmet is, after all, a calligrapher, but one who has committed murder…The crux of the film could be described as an examination of the link between actions, the people behind those actions and their consequences.” – Dervis Zaim, Director & Scriptwriter

Merhaba Boston!
By Kelly Kidson

Bir MFA , Boston’da bir hedef kitleye satmak için 8.YIL Türk Film Festivali 27 Mart akşamı açıldı. Festival, Boston Türk Film Festivali direktörü Erkut Gömülü ve Yeni İngiltere’nin Türk Amerikan Kültürel Topluluğu eş başkanı tarafından açıldı: www.tacsne.org
Festivali açmak için seçilen film Üç maymun idi ( Ingilizce başlık: Three Monkeys ( Üç Maymunlar )). Nuri Bilge Ceylan tarafından yönetilen bir 2008 Türk filmi).
Üç Maymunlar (Three Monkeys) başlığı, üç maymunun geleneksel Japon atasözünde geçen ilkeyi ima eder: “ şeytan görme, şeytan işitme, şeytan konuşma”, Ceylan’ın konuşmamak, görmemek veya konuşmamak için seçtiği karakterlerin aynı şeytanları. Biz; onlar, aksi takdirde katlanmanın imkansız olacağı meşakkat ve sorumluluklardan kaçınmak için teşebbüs ederken bir aile ve bir politikacı izleriz. Aile, nedeni, doğruluğu ihmal etmek için teşebbüs ederek bu denemelere katlanır. Entrika, şu soru üzerine odaklanır: “Üç Maymunlar” oynama, onun mevcudiyetinin doğruluğunu geçersiz yapar mı?
Ceylan’ın yönetme tarzı, film boyunca bellidir. Film, rahat olmayan bir cep telefonun çalması, yağmur ve doğa’dan başka herhangi bir arka fon müzikten yoksundur. Bunun hakkında sorulduğu zaman, Kesal, Ceyla’a “ hayatın müziği arka fon müziğinden daha etkileyicidir.” deyişi gibi aktardı. Ceylan, bireysel karakterlerle onların kendi duygusal bağlantılarını yapmak için seyirciyi ister. Örneğin, o, dördüncü bir aile üyesi dahil eder, tam hikayesini asla öğrenmediğimiz sinema filmde küçük bir çocuk. Fakat, bize, hem baba hem de erkek çocuk çözümlenmemiş (tereddütlü) suçun duygusuna sahip olduğu bellidir. Ceylan’ın fotoğrafçılk geçmişi de bellidir: dijital filme alınmış film, ve mürekkep balığı boyası ile ve parlak ışıkla demlenmiş açık deniz mavisinin çalkantı seslerinden ve siyah tezatlardan başka birçok renklerden zayıf olarak (hafifçe) mahrumdur. Üç Maymunlar ,Ceylan’a 2008 Cannes Film Festivalinde, En iyi Yönetmen Ödülü getirdi.
“Benim Marlon ve Brando” dan aktris (kadın oyuncu) Ayça Damgacı ile birlikte, senaryo yazarı ve aktör Ercan Kesal hedef kitle (seyirciler) içinde oturdu. Açılışa gitmesi mümkün olmamış olan Nuri Bile Ceylan’ın adına perdeyi (elemeyi) izleyen Kesal, Türk Sineması Ödülü’nde 2009 Boston Türk Film Festivali Üstün Başarı ‘nı kabul etti. Kesal, aynı zamanda, bir Soru ve Cevap oturumuna ev sahipliği yaptı. Filmin kabul töreninde küçük izleyiciler katıldı ve film izledi. Üç maymun /Üç Maymunlar (Three Monkeys), Kensal’ın ilk filmiydi; dinleyicilere, kendi içinde bir sinema filmi için bir konu olacağını düşünmüş olacağını, onun 2009’da Boston’da olacağını, 2007’de ona hiç kimse söylemiş miydi şaka yollu söyledi. Kesal, onun Amerikalı dinleyicilerine (seyircilerine), gerçekten siyasal bir geçmişi ile bir doktor mesleği olduğunu belli etti (açığa vurdu). O, halen Sosyal Antropoloji’de bir PhD mesleğini devam ettiriyor.
Türk Film Festivali MFA-Boston’da 5 Nisan’a kadar devam eder.
Diğer öne çıkanlar şunları içerir:
Benim Marlon ve Brando / Gitmek by Huseyin Karabey – Cumartesi 28 Mart 2009 öğleden sonra 3.00
“2003 Mart’ında, bir Amerikan bombaları Bağdat üzerine düşmeye başlarken, Türk aktris Ayça Damgacı, dairesini İstanbul’da bıraktı ve Irak sınırına doğru gitti. O kordonun arkasında, Damgacı’nın hayat aşkı – onun (bayan) ayı ve yıldızları, onun Marlon ve onun Brando’su , her şeyi, Kürt aktör Hama Ali Khan vardı. Hüseyin Karabey, onun sahneye ilk çıkış öyküsünü, Damgacı’nın savaş bölgesine don kişot gibi idealist ve hayalci yol gezintisini tekrar söylettirerek, Damgacı bayanın kendisi ile oynayarak ve Khan hakiki video aşkı notlarında görünerek yapar. O (bay) onu (bayanı), onların birbirinden ayrı zamanlarda gönderdi.”- Gitmek Facebook Page
Derviş Zaim ile Nokta (Dot – Cuma, 3 Nisan 2009 öğleden sonra 8:00)
“Film, güzel yazı sanatından (kaligrafiden) konusunu alır, o, hem biçim hem de içerik cinsinden sanat biçimi ile şekillendirildi. İslam şairlerinin çoğunluğu hayatta her şeyi bir kitap veya bir dörtlük gibi yorumladı ve kaligrafiyi , hayatta mevcut olan canlandırılmış ve canlandırılmamış her şeyde görmek için çaba gösterdi. Değer sistemi Ali şekillendirir, Önde giden karakter’in merkez açmazı (ikilemi) böylece tipik olarak bir kaligrafçı ile ilişkin moral değerlerinden ortaya çıkar. Herşeyden sonra, Ahmet, bir kaligrafçıdır, fakat cinayet işleyen biridir. Filmin en önemli noktası, faaliyetler, o faaliyetlerin arkasındaki insanlar ve onların sonuçları arasındaki bağlantının bir sınavı (irdelemesi) olarak tarif edilebilir. “- Dervis Zaim , Direktör ve Senaryo yazarı
İstanbul Film Festivali, Türkiye (2008): En iyi Direktör Ödülü
Cario Uluslararası Film Festivali, Mısır (2008): En iyi Dijital Film Ödülü

Review: Thievery Corporation @ TERMINAL 5, NYC
By ARIV
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. I’ve heard this phrase for most of my adult life, but I never really understood its meaning. Surely everything in my great granddad-esque, mechanistic, deterministic view of the universe can be added to or subtracted from up and down the ladder so to speak so that every little bit is always accounted for. No wool pulled over our eyes and nothing should ever be swept under the rug. Ahh, phrase origins….but that’s another path.
Where we are right now is TERMINAL 5 in Manhattan, NYC on February 25 at approximately 10 p.m.; and the DJ headphone wielding dynamic duo/silver surfers of all things electronica/dub and groove were in the house. Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, the co-founders of a booty-shaking synergistic system of bump and wiggle called Thievery Corporation were on the 5th day of their Northeast tour of the States.
Because of technical difficulties, I missed the opening of their set, but still got to munch down on an excellent buffet of: bass, congas, horns, bare Brazilian mid-riffs, sitar, black leggings housing a Latina songstress, a light show that I got a slight tan from, two horn players that looked like they were peeled off from the bottom of a NYC subway train, a Hispanic percussionist who also shared duties on the mic; channeling lyrics penned from the art damaged mind of David Byrne of the Talking Heads, a wiry olive toned hippie-esque barefoot black toenail polished Hugo Boss suit wearing bass player, a reggae styled guitarist with flam and bouyance whose red scarf seem to blow in a wind that did not exist and three MC’s straight out of Kingston who were dressed like their were ready for a south African jungle safari.
Well anyway, these are the parts that made the whole greater than its own addition. This is truth my friends, I learned something that night, and its not that recording video and smoking pot at a public venue is legal, but I understood why the whole is greater than its parts.
I first heard the latest Thievery album on CD, and honestly, I was not really moved at all. That is because I believe now, that I was just experiencing the parts. Being at TERMINAL 5 and being at ground zero with the live band; my reactions towards the “parts” was vastly transmuted, every song sounded ten times better, every bass thump, and sitar jangle peculated with new meaning and weight.
HEY, I WAS AT A LIVE SHOW!
and the show was great. 10+
EMERGENCE: the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions.

Deseti međunarodni Guitar Art Festival održan je od 7. do 14. februara u “Sava centru,” Beogradskoj areni i Kolarčevoj zadužbini. Povodom obeležavanja jubileja ovogodišnji slogan glasio je “Respect”. Jedan od najvećih evropskih festivala gitare okupio je 30 najvećih imena klasične gitare iz 14 zemalja. Između ostalih, publika je imala priliku da uživo čuje Enija Morikonea, Stinga i Visenta Amiga. Tokom Festivala održane su i brojne majstorske radionice, predavanja, promocije i izložbe.
Guitar Art je zvanično otvoren u subotu, 7. februara, koncertom španskog flamenko virtuoza Visentea Amiga, koga mnogi smatraju naslednikom velikog Paka de Lusije. Ovaj gitarista je do sada objavio pet studijskih albuma i nastupao sa najvećim savremenicima na gitari kao što su Pako de Lusija i Meola, pa čak i sa rok imenima poput Satrijanija, Stiva Veja, Kejta Ričardsa i Boba Dilana. Sarađivao je i sa uglednim autorima kao što su Alehandro Sanz, Sting i Migel Bose.
Sutradan, 8. februara, popularni britanski muzičar Sting je zajedno sa bosanskim lautistom Edinom Karamazovom priredio ekskluzivan koncert, u okviru zajedničkog albuma i turneje “Songs from the Labyrinth” (”Pesme iz lavirinta”). Album čine pesme proslavljenog elizabetanskog kompozitora Džona Daulenda koje su stvarane u kasnom 16. veku, a pisane za lautu i glas. Visoki tiraži i široka prihvaćenost albuma od strane kritike do danas predstavljaju jedan od najvećih uspeha među izdanjima klasične muzike.
Poslednjeg dana Festivala, 14. februara, publika je imala priliku da prisustvuje nesvakidašnjem spektaklu – koncertu proslavljenog italijanskog kompozitora Enija Morikonea.
Ovaj osamdesetogodišnji velikan je najviše prepoznatljiv po muzici za više od 500 filmskih i televizijskih dela, među kojima su najpoznatije kompozicije za filmove “Dobar, loš, zao,” “Bilo jednom u Americi,” “Za šaku dolara,” “Lolita,” “Misija na Mars,” “Malena” i “Nesalomivi”. Pored filmske muzike, Morikone je komponovao više od stotinu dela. Kao dirigent imao je priliku da rukovodi najvećim svetskim orkestrima kao što su Filharmonijski orkestar i hor milanske Skale, Orkestar rimske opere, Londonski simfonijski orkestar i Nacionalni orkestar Španije. Počasni Oskar za doprinos umetnosti filmske muzike uručen mu je 2007. godine.
Poslednje festivalske večeri on je, praćen ovacijama oko 15.000 posetilaca, tri puta izlazio na bis. Tokom trosatnog nastupa, maestro je sam dirigovao svojim stočlanim simfonijskim orkestrom “Roma Sinfonietta” i akademskim horom “Obilić”. Za ovu priliku Morikone je u svoj koncertni program, osim filmske muzike, uvrstio i svoja dela za klasičnu gitaru koja se retko izvode a koja su bila povod njegovog gostovanja na Guitar Art Festivalu.
