Recomendación de películas del Lima Alterna para el fin de semana + Extensión del Festival

Escribe: Luis Vélez.

La tercera edición del Lima Alterna Festival Internacional de Cine arriba a su fin (aunque no del todo*) y llegamos a la conclusión de ser un evento cinematográfico necesario, con una de las mejores programaciones del país y de la región latinoamericana. La película de clausura es la japonesa Kisaragi Station (Jirô Nagae, 2022), un filme de bajo presupuesto que "abraza elementos de serie B, leyendas urbanas de inicios de los años 2000, dimensiones fantasmas, desapariciones y la atmósfera cargada de una J-Horror". Kisaragi Station se proyectará esta noche en el Centro Cultural PUCP (antecedida de la ceremonia de premiación y clausura) y en el Centro Cultural Cine Chimú de Trujillo. Mañana domingo hay repetición.

El diálogo con el terror no ha estado ausente de Lima Alterna, por el contrario. Notablemente, ambas en la competencia internacional, la estadounidense Happer's Comet (Tyler Taormina, 2022), a partir de lo sensorial y trances de la medianoche, y la surcoreana The Fifth Thoracic Vertebra (Park Sye-young, 2022) con su body horror de extraño colorido, a su vez vinculado a las teorías biológicas de la comunicación entre los seres del reino Fungi, un tema en boga. Al otro lado de la orilla emocional, recomendamos con entusiasmo O Trio en Mi Bemol (2022), de la portuguesa Rita Azevedo Gomes, cineasta referente de la contemporaneidad del cine. Nos es sin duda de los altos puntos cinéfilos del año. La poesía de la palabra rohmeriana (de hecho está basada en una obra del maestro) en comunión con la magia de una puesta en escena minimalista e inteligente, de escapes surrealistas, que juega a la idea de "la película dentro de la película". Cuenta con las estupendas actuaciones de Pierre Léon y Rita Durão, mientras elementos como los idiomas Español y Francés armonizan con la pieza de Mozart del título o un bolero de Lucho Gatica.

Hablando de cine portugués, nos llama Viagem ao Sol (Susana de Sousa Dias, Ansgar Schäefer, 2021), documental sobre un episodio poco conocido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Del mismo modo, las experimentales Afterwater (Alemania, 2022), de Dane Komljen, y Al amparo del cielo (Chile, 2021), de Diego Acosta. Esta última se exhibe antecedida del cortometraje Abisal (2022), del cineasta cubano Alejandro Alonso Estrella, uno de los destacados descubrimientos de Lima Alterna, autor de un particular lenguaje, distinguido ya con dos premios en las dos primeras ediciones del festival. Por supuesto, las mayores expectativas están puestas en Fairytale (Rusia, 2022), la película de imágenes fantásticas y presencias inquietantes dirigida por el maestro Aleksandr Sokúrov, no obstante guardamos similar interés por Stone Turtle (Woo Ming Jin, Malasia, 2022), otro filme de tintes fantásticos. No perder asimismo películas de la muestra Perú Alternativo 90's.

Está servido el menú de Lima Alterna para el fin de semana en las sedes del Centro Cultural PUCP, el Centro Cultural Cine Chimú de Trujillo, el Centro Cultural de España en Lima, el Cine Teatro Irracional y la Sala Armando Robles Godoy del Ministerio de Cultura del Perú. La programación con horarios en: limaalternafilmfestival.com/ * El dato: Una programación con películas ganadoras del #3LimaAlterna se dará en la plataforma Cineaparte y se extenderá hasta el domingo 30 de octubre. ** Actualización /23/10/2022): También se proyectarán cuatro películas de la misma este 24 y 25 de octubre en el Centro Cultural PUCP. Detalle aquí.

Château du Breuil Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée Pays d'Auge "Fine Calvados" . Despite distilled drinks are not the cup of tea of choice, it has been part of the formal studies and can make quite some good cocktails, modest a part. However, like in most of the rules, there are exceptions, and one of them is a fine Calvados! . For the unknown, Calvados is a distilled drink, kind of a brandy, made of fermented apples (what is commonly called cider), grown in Normandy. Let´s provide a bit of more detail on this beauty. . Normandy is picturesque land rich in culinary tradition and world famous not just for their cheeses but also for their apples, since here it is the birthplace of Calvados. There is located Château du Breuil, one of the most prestigious Calvados distilleries. The estate dates back to the16th and 17th centuries, placed in the green heart of Normandy, “Pays dÁuge” and have been producing Calvados since 1954. The apple used are from the 22,000 apple trees planted around the castle. They produce their own cider and is done using 100% natural fermentation (it takes longer but extracts more flavours). Distillation takes places afterwats, to give you an idea, to make 1 liter of this Calvados at 100% alcohol, it requires about 27kg of apples or 20 liters of 5% volume cider. Since this is an Calvados AOC “Pays dÁuge” and not just the more basic “AOC” Calvados, the apples are required to be 100% harvest from plants grown in this area, the cider has to be made in this area and has to go thru double distillation. This version is aged in their own cellars, on French aok coming from Limousin or Troncais oak casks for 2 years prior to release. One can really feels the apples and Normandy while sipping this nectar. There is a bouquet of apple cider, cinnamon, woody and a touch of caramel. Smooth and gentle as it goes down. Classy! ______________________________________________________________ #vinperitus #wine #winetasting #winereview #wset3 #vinhos #vinho #vino #vin #вино #ワイン #와인 #红酒 #יין #wein #calvados #normandy #normandie #apple #cider #french #brandy #france #frança #français #unique #maça #conhaque @chateaudubreuil http://ift.tt/2qv1nv3

After over a decade of decline, a brutal winter has brought Great Lakes water levels back to their long-term average. But some scientists say climate change could eventually lead to permanently lower lake levels. WBEZ reached out to scientists, fishermen, shippers — anyone who could shed light on what’s happening. It turns out, some of the sharpest observers of the lake’s wild swings the last few years are artists. For Front and Center, Lewis Wallace reports. (Tim Schroeder/TWS Photography)

After Water Fiction: Water Men by Tim Akimoff

You were born on August 4, 2114. You were 21 inches long, and you weighed seven pounds, six ounces.

We are water men.

I've been writing you letters every year on your birthday, because it's important for you to know where you came from, so you might know where we are going.

Your great-great-grandfather Bryan Murrel wrote letters to me every year from the year I was born, until the year that he died in 2094. He worked in technology, the last of the family to do so.

My grandfather, Jeffery Murrel, wrote letters too.

And my father, Burnham Murrel, well, he just likes to tell you stories in person. Never was a man of letters.

Bryan Murrel came to Chicago way back when California burned, when the Southwest was only barely habitable.

He came on a great tide of immigrants that melted into the city like water disappears into the sand when the waves wash up on the shore.

B, as his friends called him, found work almost immediately. You might not think that would be easy for a black man in a new city with no family around him. But the droughts changed people. Made them realize they needed each other to survive. People of every kind could find work in the water economy.

The lakes were protected in those days by The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Compact, which you no doubt know about from your history classes.

But what they will not tell you is how the compact became our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and very soon, our Declaration of Independence.

What they will not tell you is how we got from there to here.

That is for me to do.

B Murrel started a small business making broadband receivers that lifted signals from towers that didn't reach the South Side.

This enabled people in his neighborhood of Ashburn to access the internet, which he used to teach kids how to start their own water purification businesses. He also taught chess and cooking classes online, because he thought people needed to eat better and play smarter.

That man was a born educator.

His son Jeffery Murrel was born in 2033. He was the oldest of six brothers and two sisters.

That not one of them went into technology or took up their daddy's business never bothered B much.

He always had his eye on the future. Other men only saw money, but your great-great-grandfather must have seen you reflected back at him in that blue water every time he walked down on the shores of Lake Michigan.

He moved the family out of Ashburn when the first water war broke out in 2042. He sold everything and moved them to a farm in Northern Michigan.

Jeffery, or J, as his friends called him, was the first in our family to work in water. He studied law and hydrogeology and helped the governments of Quebec and Ontario establish stronger water laws protecting the water of the Great Lakes basin as well as the rights of the basin states and provinces.

His science proved that the Laurentian Great Lakes basin was a singular entity, and he successfully mapped the watershed--providing the first definitive boundary of the basin. This allowed Toronto to create the first borders on the north side of the basin in 2050.

Jeffery must have seen you reflected in the lake as well, because he could've made a lot of money in the new economy like his father, but he chose science and law over profit.

J left Michigan for Toronto. He met Miss Nana Asma’u there. She was named after the great Nigerian poet and educator. J married her a month later despite his parents' objections.

She was Muslim, and our family’s new religion was water.

Your great-grandfather wrote me a letter about his marriage, and this is what he said.

"There is an old saying about water and oil not mixing. My father told me not to marry Nana, because she's oil, and I'm water. But I told my father that old sayings don't belong in the future, because if they were still true, then they would not be old sayings."

Toronto is night and day different than the industrial heart of the basin in Michigan. Everything north and west of Toronto, all the way to the basin's boundaries, everything was protected from development to make sure the abundant rain and snowfall found its way back to the lakes unimpeded by manmade problems.

While Chicago's population tripled, Michigan swelled with industry and millions came to the region to work in the water economy.

Your great-grandfather J helped Toronto make a hard choice to shut down more than 3,000 farms from Essex-Kent to Georgian Bay in 2055 to protect the lakes from chemical runoff.

History was not kind to him, but grandpa J understood the bigger picture. He knew his own reputation didn't matter if the lakes had a sustainable source of fresh water for the future.

Canada’s immigration policy has always been a mess, so Toronto sealed Ontario's borders against further immigration in 2058 by using drone surveillance, natural barriers and smart fences to keep new immigrants from entering the Great Lakes Basin from the north.

The U.S. sealed its borders by building walls along its land boundaries and poisoning its coastlines with a type of chlorine gas that clung to beaches like thick fog in high-traffic areas near the Mexican and Canadian contact points.

In exchange for giving up its farms, Toronto gained a trade deal with Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York to supply its food and security.

Ontario became a national park.

The Great Lakes basin was the most secure region anywhere in the world after the U.S. Military followed the vital industry to the region in the 60s. Private companies paid for military upkeep and improvements when the treasury department and Congress failed to do so after dozens of government shutdowns.

When the military needed new fighters to replace the aging fleet of Neutrino F-62s, seven Great Lake Basin companies helped foot the $72 trillion bill.

Loyalty always follows money.

Your grandfather, Burnham Murrel, was born in 2059, while J was studying the way rainwater moved through the ground of southern Ontario to feed the Great Lakes watershed.

Burnham was both water and oil.

He grew up the son of a scientist who understood both the natural laws and the manmade laws. The son of a man who used the framework of each to preserve the lakes.

You might not know this, but your great-grandmother was a fiery poet and political activist in her day, and my daddy Burnham got more than a little of his mama's genes.

Genetically, there was nowhere for your granddaddy to go but straight into the frying pan of politics.

Burnham met your great-grandmother in Chicago, when he was in law school and she was lying low from the law after immigration protests in Toronto turned deadly.

Your grandfather knew she was a risk to his career, but the oil part of him didn't care.

Michigan completely sealed off its southern border with Indiana after squatters started setting up mobile home refugee parks in farm fields--when the cities in the Ohio River Watershed started regulating water.

The Great Lakes basin had the industry, the agriculture and the military.

The whole world was looking at the lakes with lust in their eyes.

Water money made in the new economy made oil money look like charity and the great sheiks of Saudi Arabia look like paupers.

The names on the statues, streets and water reclamation projects stretching from Minnesota to New York were new names in the great book of wealth. They are from families who came from nothing into everything.

Your granddaddy Burnham helped write the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin Water Resources Constitution, which helped the Basin states get along together. These principles they were very different from the Constitution of the United States of America.

It downplayed race and creed, because want of water washes away color, and creeds don't matter when you’re dying of thirst.

In 2080, Ontario, Quebec and the eastern provinces seceded from the rest of Canada in a move that seemed to surprise everyone but your grandpa J, because he’d worked to define the Basin’s hydrologic borders and stayed in touch with leaders there.

Chicago walled itself off from the rest of Illinois after the second water war in 2082.

Unlike Toronto, Chicago was dredged from the water, built on class boundaries, a refuge for people living marginalized lives in other places and the greatest chance for a new start anywhere in the world.

I was born and raised in a Chicago just starting to find its way in the water economy. A city that finally eclipsed New York as the greatest city in the country.

Your granddaddy was a hero in Chicago, your great granddaddy a legend in Toronto.

They were water men. And in the basin, there wasn't a better thing to be.

My father wanted me to experience parts of the Basin outside of Chicago, so I studied engineering and politics at the University of Wisconsin.

I got a masters in economics from the University of Minnesota when I was 23.

Burnham started a political think tank called the League of Lakes, and I went to work as an analyst there straight out of college.

I ran for the office of the newly created Lake Michigan Commissioner in 2116. One of five decision makers working between governors and legislatures of the Great Lakes states and Ontario.

I ran unopposed, because our work as water men spoke for itself.

While in office, I stretched the parameters of the job to include all water-based issues as well as economic policies related to Chicago’s standing in the Basin, and when I left it in 2118, it was second only to the mayor in prestige and power.

You know the history from the books. Now you understand our family's role in all of this.

How we have worked like a constant trickle of water over the hard rock of time to change the very face of the basin.

How we arrived at this point.

Your great-grandfather made water policy out of hard science. Your grandfather crafted the Great Lakes Constitution out of a 100-year-old agreement among eight states and two provinces.

And now I sit here with a pen in my hand about to turn that constitution into a Declaration of Independence for the basin, and all I can think about is you and the future I'm handing over to you.

Secession is not the easiest route nor the best route. No doubt smarter men and women might have come up with a better solution than this.

But the lakes are our responsibility. They are ours to protect for whatever future we have on this dry rock floating through the cosmos.

The military is ours, the agriculture is ours, the industry is ours, and, most importantly, the water is ours.

My dear daughter, all of our work, all of our hope lives in you.

I hope this somehow explains why secession from the United States of America is the only way forward, why stripping you of your nationality and your heritage is necessary for the future of our family and our human family.

We were Americans once.

We are people of the lakes always.

Love,

Your Father,

Titus BJB Murrel

Mayor of the City of Chicago and Governor of the Basin District of Lake Michigan

After Water is WBEZ’s blend of art, science, and journalism about the future of the Great Lakes.

We asked fiction writers to imagine the Great Lakes region 100 years in the future—when climate change has made fresh water more precious than gold.

We’ll be posting those stories here, as well as on our website.
