Woody Allen Uno de los acontecimientos quizás más relevantes que ayuda a comprender el estrecho vínculo entre cultura y política es como ambas se influencian y se retroalimentan entre sí. El cine ha bebido mucho de la historia, y de los acontecimientos que un grupo de elegidos han dirigido desde su tablero. Estas personas y sus gobiernos han procurado a su modo, usar la dimensión de las artes para transmitir su mensaje. Del mismo modo encontramos a diversas personalidades consideradas intelectuales que se han posicionado en un bando u otro así como opinando sobre los movimientos de los diferentes actores.

  • Navy News Week 20-1
    NAVY NEWS WEEK 20-1 13 May 2018 ReCAAP Warns of Abu Sayyaf Kidnapping Threat in Malaysia Asian piracy watchdog ReCAAP ISC issued a warning on May 1st to seafarers over crew abduction threat posed by members of Abu Sayyaf in Malaysia. Aby Sayyaf is one of the most violent jihadist groups in the southern Philippines, notorious for kidnappings for ransom. “The group will be using a blue 3-Engine speedboat and is expected to be underway to Sabah within the next 24 hours,” ReCAAP said, citing information from Phillippine Focal Point. As informed, the group is planning to kidnap mariners operating in the area. “All vessels transiting the area are advised to exercise extreme caution when transiting in the waters of Lahad Datu and surrounding waters in Sabah,” the warning further reads. Since October 2016, the perpetrators have begun to target ships of larger tonnage, such as Dong Bang Giant 2 , Royal 16 ,Southern Falcon and Kumiai Shagang. Once in their hands, mariners are often subject to months of captivity and sometimes even execution. This is in particular due to the fact that the Philippine government has adopted a no-ransom policy when dealing with the militant group. In an incident dating November 2016, six men were taken by the militants from the bulk carrier ROYAL 16 Bodies of two decapitated seafarers were found by the Philippine military in July 2017, while one seafarer was allegedly killed in a gunbattle in the same month. Two seafarers have been rescued from the group, while the fate of one more mariner remains unknown.

  • James B. Harris, a Retrospective of the Unsung Director and Kubrick Collaborator, Apr 1—6
    BAMcinématek presents Overdue: James B. Harris, a retrospective of the unsung director and Kubrick collaborator, Apr 1—6 Harris in person! The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor of BAM Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek. Brooklyn, NY/Mar 4, 2015—From Wednesday, April 1 through Monday, April 6, BAMcinématek presents Overdue: James B. Harris. A film industry force for nearly six decades, multi-hyphenate James B. Harris has created a small but hugely impressive body of work as a producer, director, and screenwriter. Perhaps best known for the string of classics he produced for Stanley Kubrick, including Lolita and Paths of Glory, Harris’ directorial work is ripe for rediscovery and showcases a particular knack for intelligent, tough-as-nails crime thrillers. This retrospective is presented in partnership with Overdue, critics Nick Pinkerton and Nicolas Rapold’s ongoing series of unsung cinematic gems. After selling his film distribution company to begin producing, Harris met a young Kubrick while playing chess in Washington Square Park and the two became fast friends. Impressed with Kubrick’s second feature, Killer’s Kiss (1955), Harris launched a creative partnership with the up- and-coming director that lasted for nearly a decade. Calling Kubrick ―the most intelligent, most creative person I have ever come in contact with,‖ Harris first collaborated with him on The Killing (1956—Apr 5 & 6), a noir heist film about a racetrack robbery gone awry. ―Arguably Stanley Kubrick’s most perfectly conceived and executed film‖ (Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader), it inspired Kirk Douglas to seek out Kubrick for his next project. Harris and Kubrick reached new heights with Paths of Glory (1957—Apr 4)—―the film by which Stanley Kubrick entered the ranks of great directors, never to leave them‖ (Roger Ebert)—a bleak depiction of World War I featuring one of Douglas’ most powerful performances, as a colonel forced to send his men on a suicide mission.
