Las guitarras suenan limpias, solas, mientras un cubano entre el público, esconde sus lágrimas entre unas cejas tupidas y la mano callosa de una historia que no me contó. Parpadea rápido para evaporar la nostalgia, mientras ahí, justo en el escenario, dos hombres le remueven el recuerdo: Noel Nicola y Manuel Arguín son dos tipos afables que con su acento cubano y anécdotas cantadas, reúnen esta noche a unas doscientas personas que con el vino y las velas los acopañan.
From the island full of song
Cuban singer Noel Nicola celebrates his 35 years on stage by touring México
By Mariana Martinez
Guitars sound ripe and clean while a Cuban man in the audience, hides his tears and story between his eyebrows and his rough hands. He blinks, quickly trying to evaporate his nostalgia, while on stage, two men pick on his sorrow: Noel Nicola and Manuel Arguín are two lovable Cuban singers who tell stories both with their lyrics and guitars. 200 people with candles and wine came to see them.

P.O.V. Double Bill of ‘Soldados: Chicanos in Viet Nam’ and ‘The Sixth Section’ Looks to the Past and the Future, Revealing the Complexity of Shared Mexican-U.S. Experience
The relationship between Americans, North and South, has always been a family affair – intimate, contentious, intertwined. This relationship is particularly tangled between North Americans and Mexicans, who have contested and shared a common border and landscape, as well as hemispheric interdependence, for nearly 200 years. Two new films having their broadcast premieres in a special double bill on public television’s P.O.V. series this season, reveal just how deep the family ties go.
Despertar amaneciendo
Sundance por fin captura el movimiento de cine de España
Por Jose Daniel Bort
Después de dos décadas de completo y absoluto “desparpajo” la distribución americana por fin está tomando en cuenta el destape del cine español, el cual se realiza a plenitud de condiciones. Es una verdadera lástima que los “elegidos” para su difusión no sean tan interesantes como la camada de cine anterior que lo influencia.

Donde lo Sobrenatural Prevalece
Por Jose Daniel Bort
Jeepers Creepers 2: las películas de terror son famosas por ser baratas de hacer (ésta costó 25 millones de dólares); utilizar talento nuevo que también es barato (quién necesita ver una cara reconocible cuando le van a cortar el cuello) y venderse alrededor de Halloween. Este año son tantas las películas de este tipo que los estrenos típicos a finales de Octubre como Freddy vs. Jason o ésta secuela de monstruos han llegado a las pantallas con dos meses de anticipación, para evitar la competencia.
