Vanessa Garcia – White Light

Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Women’s Studies. Just before her father’s sudden death, Cuban- American artist Veronica Gonzalez is offered her first gallery exhibit, a real chance to break into the art world. Torn between the need to mourn and the pressure to create new artwork, Veronica is propelled into a fever-dream of productivity and grief, amidst memories of her tumultuous relationship with her colorful but infuriating Cuban émigré father, a volatile man of outsize appetites and passions who never stopped longing for his homeland. Praised by Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka for its “lyrical pace and texture,” WHITE LIGHT maps a young woman’s struggle to distill her grief, rage, and love onto the canvas.

 

La Dolce Vita – Federico Fellini

Event date:
Friday -Thursday, September 25 – October 1, 2015 –Times
Event address:
260 Aragon Ave.
Coral Gables, FL 33134

 

Fellini’s massive portrait of the excess that was Rome in the postwar economic boom of the 1950s is one of the most critically acclaimed – and referential – films of all time. Wrote Roger Ebert: “I have heard theories that La Dolce Vita catalogs the seven deadly sins, takes place on the seven hills of Rome, and involves seven nights and seven dawns, but I have never looked into them, because that would reduce the movie to a crossword puzzle. I prefer it as an allegory, a cautionary tale of a man (Marcello Mastroianni) without a center.” Individual scenes are indelibly embedded in our collective memory, whether it be that of a statue of Christ hovering over ancient Roman ruins, suspended from a helicopter; or Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg cavorting in the Trevi Fountain late into the night. Italy’s 2013 Oscar winner,The Great Beauty, is a footnote to this film. Continues Ebert: “When I saw the movie right after Mastroianni died, I thought that Fellini and Marcello had taken a moment of discovery and made it immortal. There may be no such thing as the sweet life. But it is necessary to find that out for yourself.”
