MDPL presents a screening of Strange Impersonation 5/12/09
ART DECO FILM SERIES
Tuesday 12 May 7:00 pm
FILM NOIR CLASSICS
Film noir, a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, often emphasizes moral ambiguity and sexual motivation, derived from the hard-boiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Depression. Hollywood’s classic film noir period is generally regarded as stretching from the early 1940s to the late 1950s, and films of this genre are associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography.
Strange Impersonation
Directed by Anthony Mann
USA/1946/68 minutes/B&W
Hard-boiled film noir masquerading as a women’s melodrama, Strange Impersonation is a twisted tale of jealousy, murder, revenge and facial disfigurement from director Anthony Mann (T-Men, Raw Deal). Brenda Marshall stars as Nora Goodrich, a single-minded scientist who spurns marriage for the sake of her pioneering work with anesthetics. When her jealous lab partner (Hillary Brooke) sabotages an experiment, Nora’s face is badly scarred, and–through a twist of fate–she swaps identities with a devious blackmailer (Ruth Ford), letting the world believe she is dead. Under the guise of Jane Karaski, Nora has her face surgically altered, establishes a new career and works her way back into the lives of her former enemies and lovers, where she can carry out her carefully planned revenge. Free admission.
Location: Art Deco Education Center at Historic City Hall, 1130 Washington Av, Miami Beach

Photographs – Exxxotica Miami 2009 (NSFW) 5/10/09
So, it has been a while since I posted any photographs, but here are some good ones. Exxxotica Miami!
Note these are probably NOT SAFE FOR WORK. So, if the boss is around, you might want to come back later.
Unfortunately, we did not have much time to go, but we made it by Exxxotica Miami on Sunday afternoon. It was not packed, but there was definitely a decent crowd. I think the whole event was better than last year. More energetic, more starlets and semi-naked girls, more videos on display.
Photographs from Exxxotica Miami on Sunday, May 10, 2009
Yes, I took a lot of photos at Exxxotica this year. Everyone was very cooperative and friendly, and we had a great time! Â On with the show!

MDPL invites you to learn what’s planned for Flamingo Park 5/11/09
PREVIEW EXHIBIT OPENING RECEPTION
Monday 11 May
6:00 pm
Flamingo Park Masterplan
Images of Flamingo Neighborhood Improvement Program
The Flamingo Park Neighborhood Association, Miami Beach Community Development Corporation and the City of Miami Beach – CIP Department will jointly host a preview opening of a Special Exhibit of neighborhood improvement plans for Flamingo Park and Neighborhood Streetscape Improvement Projects.
Immediately preceding the 6:00 pm exhibit opening, the Flamingo Neighborhood Association will convene a brief business meeting, 5:00 to 6:00 pm to discuss special event applications.
The Neighborhood Exhibit presents images of the Flamingo Park Masterplan and Neighborhood Streetscape Improvement Projects for the information of residents of the area – bordered by Fifth Street on the South, Lincoln Road on the North, Washington Avenue on the East, and Alton Road on the West. This exhibit preview coincides with celebration of the 30th Year Anniversary of the Recognition of the Miami Beach Art Deco Architectural District on the National Register of Historic Places.
The City of Miami Beach Office of Capital Improvement Projects is working with architects/designers Wolfberg Alvarez on the Flamingo Park Masterplan which will include removal of the Property Maintenance, a new tennis center, upgrade of the tennis courts, improvements to Memorial Field football and track facilities, upgrade of restroom facilities, community garden, restoration of the historic building, improved pathways and edge treatments, enhanced landscaping, security lighting, site furnishings and other park improvements.
Proposed Neighborhood Improvements include water and stormwater projects to be funded by Water and Stormwater Bonds as well as above ground Streetscape Improvements primarily funded by G O Bonds. The Streetscape Improvement program evolved from a series of recommendations that emerged from resident initiated community design charrettes and City sponsored workshops.
Community Design Recommendations included:
Improvement in the way Flamingo Park relates to the Neighborhood
Increased native shade tree canopy protecting pedestrians from sun & rain
Slow down auto traffic on neighborhood streets through traffic calming
Use street corner landscaping and facilitate shorter pedestrian street crossings
Improve neighborhood connection to Biscayne Bay
Create a pedestrian Safe-way from Fisher Fienberg to Flamingo Park
Introduce Neighborhood Entrances and Pathfinder Signage
Provide pedestrian scale street lighting throughout the neighborhood
Create a strong pedestrian Link from Lincoln Road to Espanola Way to Ocean Drive
Repair, replace street pavement, sidewalks, curb and gutter and crosswalks
The project program adopted by the City Commission includes improvement to water distribution system, stormwater drainage system and streetscape improvements:
Traffic calming improvements to Euclid Avenue with narrow lanes and tree canopy
Extending landscaping and pedestrian amenities along Meridian Ave to Lincoln Rd
Creating Flamingo Park entrance features and School to Park Pedestrian Walk
Traffic calming – crosswalks and landscaped corners throughout the neighborhood
Pedestrian walkways along Tenth Street, 14th Street West, and 13th Street East
Special treatments along Pennsylvania Avenue creating a Plaza at 8th Street
Organizing the parking and swale west of Flamingo Park in Residential Area
Introducing Neighborhood Gateways between 5th and 6th Streets and other projects
All residents of the neighborhood are invited to attend and to participate.

Essential Arthouse in HD Knife In The Water (Nóz w wodzie) by Roman Polanski 5/7/09

ESSENTIAL ARTHOUSE in HD!

Miami Theatrical HD Premiere!
Knife In The Water (Nóz w wodzie)
(Directed by Roman Polanski/Poland/1962)
With Leon Niemczyk, Jolanta Umecka, Zygmunt Malonowicz
Roman Polanski’s first feature is a brilliant psychological thriller that many critics still consider among his greatest work. The story is simple, yet the implications of its characters’ emotions and actions are profound. When a young hitchhiker joins a couple on a weekend yacht trip, psychological warfare breaks out as the two men compete for the woman’s attention. A storm forces the small crew below deck, and tension builds to a violent climax. With stinging dialogue and a mercilessly probing camera, Polanski creates a disturbing study of fear, humiliation, sexuality, and aggression. This remarkable directorial debut won Polanski worldwide acclaim, a place on the cover of Time, and his first Oscar nomination. In Polish with English subtitles.
WINNER: FIPRESCI Prize Venice Film Festival
“It was the maverick Roman Polanski who emerged onto the international film scene in the early 1960s obsessed not so much with the big issues of the day as with the quirks and backwaters of human nature.â€-Peter Cowie

Bright Eyes
Directed by David Butler
USA/1934/83 minutes/B&W
This film is one of the reasons that Shirley Temple is still emblazoned in the minds of Americans today, as Bright Eyes is the film that first brought the song On the Good Ship Lollipop to Depression-era audiences across the country. (Although the song has nothing to do with a ship!) The film features a stand-out performance by Temple, in addition to superb character actors and a broad range of emotions. Shirley Temple’s work in this film earned her a special pint-sized Oscar®, and lasting fame as America’s sweetheart. Free admission.

Cintas Foundation Presents The 2009 William B. Warren Lifetime Achievement Award In Music Composition To Cuban Composer Aurelio De La Vega 5/20/09
CINTAS FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES THE 2009 WILLIAM B. WARREN LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD IN MUSIC COMPOSITION TO CUBAN COMPOSER AURELIO DE LA VEGA
The Cintas Foundation (www.cintasfoundation.org) will present the 2009 William B. Warren Lifetime Achievement Award in Music Composition to Cuban composer Aurelio de la Vega. The award is named after Cintas Foundation Chairman William B. Warren, who has led the foundation for the last 20 years as is its second president.
Aurelio de la Vega was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1925 and studied at the University of Havana (Ph.D. in Law), at the Conservatorio Ada Iglesias (Ph.D., Music Composition) and, independently, with Fritz Kramer (Havana) and Ernst Toch (Los Angeles). De la Vega settled in California in 1959 and became distinguished professor of Music and the director of the Electronic Music Studio at California State University, Northridge. His vast catalogue of works encompasses compositions in all media except opera. He has been very influential in the U.S. musical scene, promoting the contemporary classical music of Latin America. Throughout his teaching years and in the years since his retirement, de la Vega has been an active composer as well as a lecturer in the field of music. His list of compositions includes symphonic pieces, chamber music works, solo instrumental pieces, vocal works, piano, guitar and ballet music and electronic compositions. Major orchestras and prominent soloists throughout the world have performed his works. The composer has been the recipient of many prizes and distinctions, including the Friedheim Award of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which he has received twice. In 2000, de la Vega was honored by the Library of Congress when his graphic score, “The Magic Labyrinth,” was included in the library’s 733-page volume, “Music History from Primary Sources.” Among the music greats included with him were Bartók, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, Gershwin, Handel, Liszt, Mahler, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Puccini, Stravinsky and Verdi.
“As one of the best known Cuban composers of his generation, Aurelio de la Vega offers a dramatic, intense and expressive musical style,” said Hortensia E. Sampedro, president of the Cintas Foundation in announcing the award. “We are pleased to recognize the Maestro for a career that spans more than 50 years and includes recognition from around the world and most recently a nomination for a Latin Grammy for Best Classical Contemporary Composition for his piece Variación del Recuerdo (Variations of a Memory)”.
The award will be presented at a ceremony at the Frost Art Museum of Florida International University on May 20, 2009 at 7:00 pm. The public is invited.

After show party with DJ Da Lua (Bossacucanova) at Boteco
The Budos Band are an 11-member big band, a majestic sonic groove of Afrobeat, Ethiopian jazz, funk and 1960s Stax-era soul. The core of the band met as youths while participating in an after-school jazz ensemble in Staten Island. Late night ferry rides into Manhatta, led to the back door of the No Moore Club downtown, packed with James Brown fanatics and Fela Kuti disciples. They fell hard for bands like Antibalas, the Sugarman Three, and Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings and knew this was their new musical direction. After meeting resistance from the band director, they recruited a few more horn players and formed their own band. With the 2005 release of their self-titled debut album, the Budos Band officially joined the ranks of the Daptone Family and began to perform frequently as part of the Daptone Soul Revue, alongside the very acts that had inspired them only a few years before.
Javier Garcia creates “a musical narrative for Miami as sweet as kissing your honey on the beach to a swaying reggae beat, as danceable as a 3 a.m. Cuban jam session.” Born in Spain to a Cuban father and an Irish mother, Javier started playing the guitar at 12 years old. The Franciscan headmaster at his high school in Ireland told him that although he loved hearing his music in the school halls, he would be better suited in another school. So he moved with his father in Miami and fully delved into Cuban Miami music and life. His first CD achieved gold sales and set up young Javier as a Latin pop star. But he delved more into music roots, and began to work with top collaborators on a follow-up, finding greater musical freedom and maturity: multi-Grammy award winning producer Gustavo Santaolalla, drummer Abe Laboriel Jr (from Paul McCartney’s band), living batá treasure Francisco Aguabella and others. His sound is a diverse fusion of Cuban music with rock, hip-hop, ska, funk, reggae, anchored by his talents as a composer, arrange, guitar and percussion player and gifted singer.
DJ Marcelino Da Lua is one third of the ground-breaking Rio de Janeiro-based team Bossacucanova. Second-generation bossa novans, they have taken the iconic music of their fathers and made it new yet again with the addition of breakbeats and electronica. As a DJ, Da Lua lets loose with a mix of Brazilan, hiphop, reggae and electic sounds. The After Show party at Boteco is free and open to the public.
Coming up: Sat April 25: CuCu Diamantes (Yerba Buena) and Tinariwen at North Beach Bandshell
See you there!
The Heineken TransAtlantic Festival is presented with support from Heineken USA, Club Med, American Airlines, Pasha’s Restaurants, Atlantic Broadband, Business Centers International, North Beach Bandshell Trust, John S. and James L.

Film Synopsis
Lucia Puenzo quickly made a name for herself with her debut film XXY, a haunting and beautiful story about an intersex boy finding his way through adolescence and a society that doesn’t understand him, and finding love and affection along the way.
In her newest film El Niño Pez (The Fish Child), Puenzo proves she is no one hit wonder as she delivers a film that is a sexy and captivating romantic thriller, set in the world of outdated class systems and rampant political corruption in modern day Argentina.
Lala is the daughter of a wealthy and powerful judge in Buenos Aires. Ailin is the family’s maid, whom Lala has harbored feelings for since her early youth. Their friendship soon develops into a torrid and secret affair, and they develop plans to leave the Argentinean capital for Ailin’s native Paraguay. When Lala’s father suddenly dies, Ailin becomes the primary suspect and is imprisoned for the crime. It is now up to Lala to free her lover if their dream is to become a reality. What follows is a story of suspense, intrigue, and determination.
Featuring an amazing cast, helmed by the beautiful and talented Ines Efron and Mariela Vitale, El Niño Pez is an engaging thriller that is undoubtedly the year?s most powerful lesbian film. In Spanish with English subtitles.

Wendy and Lucy
Directed by Kelly Reichardt/USA/2009
With Michelle Williams
Wendy Carroll is driving to Ketchikan, Alaska, in hopes of a summer of lucrative work at the Northwestern Fish cannery, and the start of a new life with her dog, Lucy. When her car breaks down in Oregon, however, the thin fabric of her financial situation comes apart, and she confronts a series of increasingly dire economic decisions, with far-ranging repercussions for herself and Lucy. Wendy and Lucy addresses issues of sympathy and generosity at the edges of American life, revealing the limits and depths of people’s duty to each other in tough time.
“A PITCH PERFECT TRIUMPH!—Manohla Dargis, New York Times
“What may emerge as THE BEST PERFORMANCE of the YEAR!â€â€”Film Comment
“What will happen to her? The strength of this short, simple, perfect story of a young woman and her dog is that this does not seem, by the end, to be an idle or trivial question. What happens to Wendy — and to Lucy — matters a lot, which is to say that Wendy and Lucy, for all its modesty, matters a lot too.”–A.O. Scott New York Times

Examined Life
Examined Life pulls philosophy out of academic journals and classrooms, and puts it back on the streets…
Directed by Astra Taylor/Canada/2009
Featuring Cornel West, Peter Singer, Kwarne Anthony Appiah, Michael Hardt, Slavoj Zizek, Judith Butler and Sunaura Taylor
In Examined Life, filmmaker Astra Taylor accompanies some of today’s most influential thinkers on a series of unique excursions through places and spaces that hold particular resonance for them and their ideas. Slavoj Zizek questions current beliefs about the environment while sifting through a garbage dump. Judith Butler and a friend stroll through San Francisco’s Mission District questioning our culture’s fixation on individualism. And while driving through Manhattan, Cornel West—perhaps America’s best-known public intellectual—compares philosophy to jazz and blues, reminding us how intense and invigorating a life of the mind can be. Offering privileged moments with great thinkers, Examined Life reveals philosophy’s power to transform the way we see the world around us and imagine our place in it.

MDPL invites you to the opening reception for From Miami With Love 4/17/09
ART DECO GALLERY
Friday 17 April 7:00 pm
OPENING RECEPTION FOR FROM MIAMI WITH LOVE
Some of the earliest pioneers in the rediscovery and renovation of Miami Beach’s Art Deco buildings in the 1980s and 90s were gay artists and designers. Having found inexpensive work and living spaces, they were inspired by the dazzling tropical light and growing diversity of South Beach to create art expressing homoerotic themes.
The exhibition From Miami With Love includes works by some of these local artists, as well as from gay artists worldwide. The exhibit has been organized by the Cultural Center of Spain (CCE), as a part of a traveling contemporary art show entitled Historias de Amor (Love Stories), a selection of more than 50 pieces from Colección Visible, a Spanish foundation that has been working for years in creating a gay-oriented art collection. The foundation’s objective is to create a gay art museum in Spain where works by the most relevant 20th Century artists could be presented, and to highlight the role of homosexuals in contemporary art.
In addition to the exhibit, CCE and Hardcore will offer several parallel activities to the 2009 Miami Beach Gay Pride, including the special preview of the Spanish musical “Tómbola” by Marisol, at the Miami Beach Cinematheque, a Spanish gay film series, and a roundtable for gay activists and experts in contemporary art on the importance of art in the fight for homosexual rights to be held in the Bass Museum.
The exhibit will be open weekdays from 10 am to 5 pm until the end of April. Free admission.
Location: Art Deco Education Center at Historic City Hall, 1130 Washington Av, Miami Beach
Information: 305-672-2014 or www.miamibeachgaypride.com

Enjoy a lively lyric scene from Tchaikovsky’s opera Eugene Onegin as Conducting Fellow Edward Abrams brings the elegant Polonaise to life. His First Piano Concerto has endlessly been parodied by Liberace stylings, but in the hands of fellow Russian Feltsman, this work is pure genius and beauty. The musical and biographical journey ends with his Fifth Symphony, where MTT navigates through the dense score of incandescent sensibilities and erupting violent outbursts.

Movie Musicals at MGLFF Every Little Step 4/25/09
Every Little Step
Directed by James D. Stern & Adam Del Deo
FLORIDA PREMIERE
Saturday, April 25
9:40PM | Regal 18
In 1974 Broadway darling Michael Bennet gathered a group of stage dancers, affectionately known asgypsies, together and recorded their life stories. It is from those very recordings that the world-widehit musical A Chorus Line was born. For the first time, we are taken back to those confessional sessions and hear excerpts from the actual recordings as the filmmakers follow the creation of the original stage show, and then its recent revival while introducing us to the original cast and creative team and the budding talent who are auditioning.
An obvious choice for musical lovers, Every Little Step is a superbly made film that brings an audience together for a journey that is exhilarating, heartbreaking, and completely unforgettable.
Directors James D. Stern & Adam Del Deo will be in attendance.

MDPL offers a screening of Scarlet Street 4/14/09
ART DECO FILM SERIES
Tuesday 14 April
7:00 pm
FILM NOIR CLASSICS
Film noir, a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, often emphasizes moral ambiguity and sexual motivation, derived from the hard-boiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Depression. Hollywood’s classic film noir period is generally regarded as stretching from the early 1940s to the late 1950s, and films of this genre are associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography.
Scarlet Street
Directed by Fritz Lang
USA/1945/101 minutes/B&W
A box-office hit in its day (despite being banned in three states), Scarlet Street is perhaps legendary director Fritz Lang’s (M, Metropolis) finest American film. When middle-aged milquetoast Chris Cross (Edward G. Robinson–Double Indemnity, Little Caesar) rescues street-walking bad girl Kitty (Joan Bennett–The Reckless Moment) from the rain-slicked gutters of an eerily artificial backlot Greenwich Village, he plunges headlong into a whirlpool of lust, larceny and revenge. As Chris’ obsession with the irresistibly vulgar Kitty grows, the meek cashier is seduced, corrupted, humiliated and transformed into an avenging monster before implacable fate and perverse justice triumph in the most satisfyingly downbeat denouement in the history of American film. Free admission.

Surfboards And Skateboards Opening May 5 At World Erotic Art Museum 5/5/09
Gregory De La Haba, Internationally Famed Sculptor Who Created An Art Basel Furor When He Exhibited His Now Legendary Installation, “Equus Erectus: Between Nothingness And Paradise,†To Premier ‘Surfboards And Skateboards’ Opening May 5 At World Erotic Art Museum
Recalled as having been a major sensation when his sculpture of a rearing horse in tumescence scored major international attention during Art Basel 2008, Gregory de la Haba will return to South Florida, Tuesday, May 5 to launch a month long exhibit of his newest works, “Skateboards and Surfboards,†at the World Erotic Art Museum,1205 Washington Avenue.
Long respected as an accomplished draftsman who embraces a conceptual approach to his art, de la Haba’s now famed “Between Nothingness and Paradise†is considered to have been triggered as a young boy through his heritage as the grandson of a wealthy Spanish grandfather who opened the first casinos in Puerto Rico and, alternately, of a poor Irish grandfather who daily patronized the local OTB, creating for de la Haba a persona equal parts devoted to gambling reflected by his ownership of a Saratoga winner’s circle horse, as he was to art.
A cum laude graduate of Harvard University as well as a star pupil at the Museum School of Fine Arts in Boston, de la Haba attended La Universidad del Sacrado Corazon in Santurce, PR, and the Artes Plasticas in San Juan and in rapid succession thereafter, received several awards from the Copley Society which was to lead him to scholarships at the New York Academy of Art, international travels, and ultimately, to a major career as a figurative artist.
Seen through such high profile work as his acclaimed taxidermic equines first unveiled in Miami and now in a solo show at New York’s Jack the Pelican Presents gallery, de la Haba also created the Bacchanalia mural at Atlantic City’s Caesar’s Palace commissioned by John Tunney III. The artist’s latest erotically charged art is a mural project for a bar in Los Angeles commissioned by Sean McPherson, among the owners of New York’s high profile “in†spots, the Bowery Hotel, The Maritime Hotel and the Waverly Inn.
For his show at the World Erotic Art Museum, de la Haba will illustrate yet another side of his artistic persona via a series of eight surfboards using them as “canvases†for his original erotic arts scenes. Additionally, de la Haba will exhibit blow-ups of the famous works which have caused such an international furor.
On opening night, de la Haba and WEAM owner/curator Naomi Wilzig will auction off a surfboard to help fund the Carlos Collazo Scholarship created by de la Haba to honor the memory of the pioneering and gifted Puerto Rican artist who died of AIDS.
The World Erotic Art Museum is located at 1205 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach. Open from 11 A.M. to midnight, admission is $15 per person, not on under 18 admitted. Information is available at (305) 532-9336 or via www.weam.com.

MDPL presents Jerry Lewis as The Bellboy 4/11/09
ART DECO FILM SERIES
Made in Miami Beach
Saturday 11 April
11:00 am
Join us for a series of films that are set (and substantially filmed) in Miami Beach in the 1940s and 50s. These films feature great directors, compelling performances, and glamorous (and not so glamorous!) hotels in Miami Beach’s golden years.
The Bellboy
Directed by Jerry Lewis
USA/1960/71 minutes/B&W
Filmed on location at the Fountainebleu Hotel, The Bellboy marks Jerry Lewis’ first film as writer-director-star. Though its gags are variable, the film works on every level. It’s both contemporary (love that jazzy MiMo architecture!) and a throwback to two-reel comedies of the late-silent/early-sound era, though it most closely resembles Jacques Tati’s M. Hulot’s Holiday (1953) in terms of structure and pacing. And, like Tati’s film, it keeps dialogue to a minimum, rendering its nearly-silent protagonist more an observer than force of action. Free admission.
Location: Miami Beach Regional Library, 227 22nd St, Miami Beach

The First Annual Miami Latin Gay Film Festival has been announced to make its premiere engagement April 16-19, 2009 in Miami Beach.
Festival organizer and Executive Director Jim Dobson unveiled a sneak peak at the four day event to take place in South Beach which will coincide with Miami Gay Pride Weekend.
“I am thrilled to be able to bring this exciting venture into South Beach filling a much needed gap in alternative programming for the Latino Gay community†said Dobson. “Through my six years of working with the Miami Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, I have noticed a huge demand for Latin Gay films and programming that was not always possible. The few Latin films programmed were always the first to sell out which proved a definite demand by the community.â€
The Miami Latin Gay Film Festival will open on Thursday, April 16 with a Gala Premiere presentation at the Colony Theater followed by a spectacular party, all on Lincoln Road in South Beach. The Festival will continue with screenings, panels, music events and a few surprises along the way. Closing Night Awards Gala and screening will take place on Sunday, April 19 at the Colony Theater followed by a special musical event and party.
The mission of the Miami Latin Gay Film Festival is to showcase and nurture existing and emerging creative talent while serving as a springboard and catalyst for the promotion of Gay Latin films and filmmakers as well as highlight exciting Latino talent in other areas including music.
A premier Latino Gay International Film Festival in the USA, MLGFF will eventually become the prominent venue for exhibition of the best of Gay Latin cinema and artistry from the United States, Latin America, Mexico, Spain, Portugal and beyond.
The Festival will present feature films, documentaries, shorts and special retrospective screenings. The films presented at the Festival showcase a wide variety of themes by Gay Latino filmmakers, producers, writers and actors, as well as movies that depict Gay Latino culture. It is a competitive festival with prizes and a venue where filmmakers and artists can come together with buyers and industry.
The Miami Latin Gay Film Festival will also run the “Best of the Fest†simultaneously with the Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festival as well as contributing a substantial donation from its Closing Night to Care Resource.

Miami HD Theatrical Premiere!
Dog Eat Dog (Perro come perro)
Directed by Carlos Moreno/Colombia/2008
With Eusebio Benitez, Oscar Borda
Dog Eat Dog, a tale of double-crosses and retribution is Colombia’s official entry to the Academy Awards for Best Foreign-Language Film. El Orejon is an agoraphobic crime boss who lives surrounded by telescopes in a luxury high-rise apartment in the center of Cali, Colombia. When his godson is killed he asks a voodoo priestess to avenge the murder by casting a deadly spell on the shooter, Eusebio. Miles away, Victor is hired by the boss to carry out a job, but makes a disastrous decision to break the sacred law of the crime world and keeps the cash for himself. As the stash of money passes from hand to hand, who will have the wits to be the last one standing?
WINNER: Gramado Film Festival Best Director, Best Actor, Best Cinematography
Guadalajara Mexican Film Festival Best Actor
Official Selection: Sundance Film Festival, Miami Int. Film Festival
“Dog Eat Dog” is a very funny film, not in the traditional devices of the one-liner and wisecracks, but in a more subtle language of facial expressions. The slow but confident pace, which is engaging and tense, is unusual in a film of its type and gives lie to just how boring the frantic editing of recent thrillers has become.â€-Quiet Earth

Full Moon Drum Circle 4/8/09
* FULL MOON DRUM CIRCLE *
The April full moon is the “Full Pink Moon.” Apparently, it had something to do with grass glowing pink under the light of April’s full moon, but personally I think these moon-naming folk just used the wrong mushrooms to make their tea that year.

Opening Reception For From Miami With Love 4/17/09
Friday 17 April
7:00 pm
OPENING RECEPTION FOR FROM MIAMI WITH LOVE
Some of the earliest pioneers in the rediscovery and renovation of Miami Beach’s Art Deco buildings in the 1980s and 90s were gay artists and designers. Having found inexpensive work and living spaces, they were inspired by the dazzling tropical light and growing diversity of South Beach to create art expressing homoerotic themes.
The exhibition From Miami With Love includes works by some of these local artists, as well as from gay and lesbian artists worldwide. The exhibit has been organized by the Cultural Center of Spain (CCE), as a part of a traveling contemporary art show entitled Historias de Amor (Love Stories), a selection of more than 50 pieces from Colección Visible, a Spanish foundation that has been working for years in creating a gay-oriented art collection. The foundation’s objective is to create a gay art museum in Spain where works by the most relevant 20th Century artists could be presented, and to highlight the role on homosexuals in contemporary art.
In addition to the exhibit, CCE and Hardcore will offer several parallel activities to the 2009 Miami Beach Gay Pride, including the special preview of the Spanish musical Tómbola by Marisol, at the Miami Beach Cinematheque, a Spanish gay film series, and a roundtable for gay activists and experts in contemporary art on the importance of art in the fight for homosexual rights to be held in the Bass Museum.
The exhibit will be open weekdays from 10 am to 5 pm until the end of April. Free admission.
Location: Art Deco Education Center at Historic City Hall, 1130 Washington Av, Miami Beach

An Evening of Rumi’s Poetry with Music and Sacred Whirling 4/4/09
April 4, Sat. 8pm
Jelaluddin Rumi, a 13th century mystical poet, has been America’s best-selling poet for many years.
His books have sold more than a million copies in the U.S. Rumi’s universal legacy – through his personal life, writings, and practices – is to live in peace, to serve the highest calling, to celebrate diversity, and to love all.
Hear the poetry of Rumi, dramatically spoken live by Peter Rogen in English and Amir Vahab in Farsi, accompanied by three wonderful Sufi musicians: Arsalaan playing the nay flute and harp, Osiris on frame drum and other percussions, and Amir on nay flute, tanbour, and drums. The music of the nay flute and tanbour is improvised (“taksim”) in the authentic Turkish and Persian styles. The musicians may also provide spontaneous Sufi chanting to accompany some of the poems.

Yves LaRock / David Vendetta / Guru Josh Project / Vandalism / UmaK
YVES LAROCK is a frenzied self-taught producer and international DJ who has developed a highly distinctive and personal style in the last two years, with ‘Zookey’ in 2005, ‘Rise up’ in 2007 and the release of his new single ‘By your side’ in 2008.
Influenced no doubt by his hip hop roots, ten years in the swing of things have inevitably left their mark; Yves hit upon the idea of blending House and Zouk, Ragga and Reggae in an original style. The search for ethnic instruments, steel drums, balafons or banjos was a creative choice, reflecting a truly personal style, for fear no doubt of becoming too repetitive and of being catalogued in a style straight jacket.
One of the best dj producer of the French touch, DAVID VENDETTA first came to our musical attention in 2006 when he produced the Hit ” Love to love you baby “, using the famous vocal of Donna Summer in the break. This track got massive support from all the biggest DJ’s in the world and exploded David on to the International scene. His next track was equally as big ‘Unidos para la Musica’ with the fabulous voice of Akram…
Add this together with a nomination for best French DJ at the NRJ MUSIC AWARDS 2007 ! and you can see there is no letting up for David.
The GURU JOSH PROJECT consists of Guru Josh (writer/artist) DazPerkz (Dj/Producer) and Snakebyte (Producer/Engineer). The Guru Josh Project’s live show consists of the Guru playing live..DazPerkz spinning tunes before and after, Snakebyte sound and visual direction. In 2008, they re-released Infinity as Infinity 2008, which was remixed by the German DJ, Klaas. It experienced widespread success, peaking at #1 on the Belgian, Dutch and French Singles Charts, Danish Singles Chart, Czech Republic Airplay Chart, Eurochart Hot 100 and #3 on the UK Singles Chart.
And, VANDALISM who are on a mapped out neurotic mission to bring back to life your senses are the new visionaries of music. The Electro House sounds they have discovered and conquered are something Ford Prefect will have never encountered in his journeys. Vandalism consists of the talents of Cassie, Andy Van and Kam Denny. The lifestyle they have created with their music is a 1080 experience of sounds and vibes that you would not know how to explain but that you will lavishly feel imploding in your bones and exploding through your veins.
The Party Continues at Hed Kandi Lounge. Come enjoy the best House Anthems and funkiest beats on our dancefloor…

Miguel Migs / Mark Doyle / Uma K / Tavin Reiter / Edward Allen / Frank Johnson
MIGUEL MIGS stands at the forefront of electronic music’s soulful realm. Whether tackling his original productions or remixes, he achieves an organic-soulful sound by combining the best of both the electronic music world and live instrumentation.
His impressive discography includes more than 100 original productions and remixes on seminal independent labels such as Salted Music, Naked Music, Astrelwerks, Yoshitoshi, NRK, Black Vinyl, Large, Chez, Transport recordings, Om Records, Defected Records and many others. His recordings have consistently made waves in the underground circuit and have landed on DJ hype charts internationally. He goes highly regarded when it comes to remixes, having worked with major label artists such as Macy Gray, Lionel Ritchie and Britney Spears. Miguel additionally has released numerous mix CD compilations on labels including Defected, Naked Music, Southport Weekender and NRK.
Never one to sit still, Migs started his own label Salted Music in 2004. Having been associated with an extensive number of labels throughout his career, he came to realize a desire to have his own base, a vehicle for building his own catalogue of quality material. Salted Music is a foundation for Migs to choose and release music that inspires him, as well as release his own productions and compilations.
March 2007 saw the release of ‘THOSE THINGS’, Miguel’s sophomore album released on his very own Salted Music imprint. “Those Things represents an open-minded musical spectrum that can have multi-meaning and definition combining forward thinking electronic music elements with live instrumentation inspired by old soul, funk, reggae, jazz, rock and hip-hop,’states San Francisco-based Migs about his follow-up to his 2002 debut album ‘Colorful You’ (Astralwerks/Naked Music). ). The album received massive acclaim and support worldwide and features Sadat X from ‘Brand Nubian’, Lisa Shaw, LT, Fred Ross from the legendary ‘Family Stone’, reggae heavy weight Junior Reid, and Tim Fuller.
Miguel can be found regularly traveling the globe as one of the industries top-leading DJs, as well as at home in the studio writing and creating music, which is his main love and passion. “It’s all about the balance between the touring and traveling, studio work and everything else in life.” Miguel says, ” Music has no boundaries and I get inspired by everything around me.” Migs certainly draws no limits to his artistry.
MARK DOYLE, the main man behind Fierce Angel Records. The compiler of the CDs, A&R for the record label and headline DJ at the events across the world.
His phenomenal career all started back in 1999 when he created Hed Kandi and developed the brand as a lifestyle concept, incorporating a record label, a radio show and international club nights that stimulated all the senses.
During Mark’s tenure, Hed Kandi sold over five million albums worldwide and his unique A&R and marketing vision helped them deliver a string of Top 40 singles and significant artist album sales as he developed an artist roster.
In addition, he developed a career as a radio DJ, creating the weekly Hed Kandi Radio Show broadcast on JAZZFM/Smooth FM and the Galaxy network in the UK and through syndications around the world.
Surely one of the most creative, energetic human beings currently walking the planet, Mark launched Tokyo Project with his partners in 2005, with the release of the critically acclaimed CD ‘Tokyo Project – The Collection’. That Project is now complete and Mark has used the invaluable lessons that he has learnt along the way to launch Fierce Angel – his absolute vision of what a record label and events brand really should be. This will be the most exciting phase of Mark’s career to date.

PEDRO
Colony Theater
SUNDAY, MARCH 22ND @ 7:00pm
In 1994, Bunim/Murray Productions made the groundbreaking decision to cast openly gay, HIV-positive Cuban-American and Miami resident Pedro Zamora as part of MTV’s The Real World: San Francisco. Zamora’s time in the Real World house on Lombard Street brought a face to the AIDS crisis; and U.S. President Bill Clinton credited Zamora with personalizing and humanizing those with the disease.
PEDRO celebrates the extraordinary life of Pedro Zamora, a young man who when he found out he was HIV positive at 17, made the courageous decision to dedicate the rest of his life to speaking out about his condition in an attempt to raise awareness about the disease in his community, even testifying before the United States Congress to argue for more explicit HIV/AIDS educational programs aimed at youth of color before auditioning for The Real World in 1993. His appearance on The Real World brought his story and his message to MTV’s youthful audience and beyond, and when Zamora’s health began to deteriorate in late 1994 (after he left the show), it became front page news nationwide, and his death at age 22 provoked a worldwide outpouring of grief. This amazing feature film was written by ACADEMY AWARD Winner Dustin Lance BLack (MILK) and features a stellar performance by Miami resident Alex Loynaz as Pedro.
DONT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THE CAST OF PEDRO & MEMBERS OF THE ZAMORA FAMILY!
