Join Visual Communications and guests for the
closing night program of the VC
FilmFest 2001, May 24 at the Japan America
Theatre. The evening includes a festival awards
ceremony, introductionary remarks by the cast
of crew of the evening's special film
presentation, commendations by public
figures, and a rare screening of the
groundbreaking film, Farewell to Manzanar (1976),
directed by John Korty.

Based on Jeanne W. Houston's memoirs
of her family's internment at Manzanar,
this well-regarded 1976 telefilm is
perhaps the first-ever intimate portrait of a
Japanese American family and the physical
and emotional sense of loss due to
relocation during WWII.

Directed by Peabody Award-winning
director Korty (Autobiography of Miss Jane
Pittman), the film stars Nobu McCarthy, the
late, great Yuki Shimoda, Akemi Kikumura, Clyde
Kusatsu, Pat Morita, Mako and many others.
Unavailable in a theatrical version
in over 25 years, we will be showing a newly
struck film print for this special occasion, to
draw attention to the importance of
preservation of our community's cinema heritage.

The evening's screening is
presented with Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, Japanese
American Cultural & Community Center,
California Civil Liberties Public Education Fund,
Japanese Cultural & Community Center of
Northern California.

The festival awards ceremony is
presented with AsianAvenue.com; Screenplay
Systems, Inc. and Seoul Broadcasting Systems
USA.

The post-screening and festival
wrap party is hosted by KSCI-TV/Channel 18,
Chivas Regal and Relaxtation, the official boba
supplier of the festival.

Tickets for the closing night
program may be purchased at the theatre on
Thursday evening.

May 19, 2001-Malcolm X's Birthday

Dear sisters and brothers,
This past week we had a very powerful meeting in Richmond,
California as we are organizing to open up a community center or possibly
a clinic inside of an elementary school (Chavez Elementary). For about
two minutes I showed the members of the collaborative clips from our
16-day hunger strike back in 1995 (for affirmative action) from the UC
Irvine campus. As that took place students at St.Mary's were ending a
present day hunger strike to protest 'sexual assaults' on campus. At the
same time the UC Regents have decided to 'symbolically' rescind the July
20th, 1995 vote which ended affirmative action. It is all a bit ironinc,
don't you think? With that, at the end of a historic week, on this May
19th, I am left wanting to remember Malcolm X. Happy Birtday Malcolm.
This is for you, and for all who dream/live like you.

Amen.

TUJUNGA. On Tuesday, May 28 at 7:00 p.m., the Friends of the
Sunland-Tujunga Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library present an evening
of traditional Latin American folk music with Cusuco. The program is part
of a monthly series during which the Friends will bring live music to the
library on fourth Tuesdays. The program is free and all are welcome.

From the African influenced rhythms of Brazil, to the ancient flute and
drum incantations of the Andes, Cusuco reflects the history of the American
continent, celebrating our diversity and our harmony in the most literal
sense: through the universal, unifying traditions of music.

Cusuco is a musical group dedicated to widening the appreciation of
traditional and contemporary folk music of Latin America. As a band, Cusuco
delights its audience with infectious high energy music that get the most
unlikely people toe-tapping. As an educational tool, it presents listeners
with an aural cornucopia of musical styles from various cultural
traditions, which are brought forth with compelling bits of history and
fascinating anecdotes. From early California contradanzas, played at the
local haciendas in the last century, to the rally songs well known to
soccer game crowds in little towns in El Salvador today, Cusuco takes its
audience on an interactive musical journey through the Americas of past and
present.

Cusuco coalesced suddenly in the fall of 1995 at the California Institude
of the Arts, where founding members Alex and Julissa Bozman were students
in the acclaimed music department. Cusuco grew out of a request for
Mariachi music at an Institute function. Together with guitarist Marco
Alvirez, the Bozmans quickly recruited a large and enthusiastic band. The
common interest and highly compatible personalities which came together
were such that this group did not disperse after the "gig", but rather
began regular rehearsals which would continue for years. More musical
styles were adopted as Cusuco grew, and the band reflected a more and more
varied cultural basis as subsequent members contributed from their own
backgrounds experiences, and curiosities.

The Bozmans had long been interested in the folk music Latin America,
researching and collecting the stringed instruments and flutes used in the
folk music of Julissa's native El Salvador. Some other founding members,
particularly guitarrist Marco Alvirez, were familiar with many styles of
Mexican folk music and were able to guide the group in those directions.
Joao Junqueira has greatly enriched us with the music of his native Brasil.

Music continues at the Branch when jazz composer and pianist Jim Gitter,
back by popular demand, will present an evening of George & Ira Gershwin
songs on June 26. In July, the supremely talented and uncompromising Jake
La Botz brings his guitar and Chicago and Mississippi Delta blues to the
branch.

The Friends of the Sunland-Tujunga Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library
is a private, non-profit organization that sponsors literary events and
provides financial and volunteer support to the Sunland-Tujunga Branch of
the Los Angeles Public Library. Its mission is to encourage children to

ROLL YOUR OWN BLACKOUT
THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER
JUNE 21, 2001 THURS EVE,

7-10pm worldwide, all time zones

As an alternative to George W. Bush's energy policies and lack of
emphasis on efficiency, conservation and alternative fuels, there
will be a voluntary rolling blackout on the first day of summer, June
21 at 7pm - 10pm in any time zone (this will roll it across the
planet).

Its a simple protest and a symbolic act. Turn out your lights from
7pm-10pm on June 21. Unplug whatever you can unplug in your house.
Light a candle to the Sungoddess, kiss and tell or not, take a stroll
in the dark, invent ghost stories, anything that's not electronic -
have fun in the dark.

Read the 1999 book "Natural Capitalism" by Hawken and Lovins to learn
that conservation/high efficiency technologies already ARE
on-the-shelf. If implemented these revolutionary ideas would pay
themselves off within five years, after which we'd be pumping far
less greenhouse gas into the atmosphere and saving bucks to boot.

Forward this email as widely as possible, to your government
representatives and environmental contacts.

Let them know we want global education, participation and funding in
conservation, efficiency and alternative fuel efforts -- and an end
to over-exploitation and misuse of the earth's resources.

Anyone knows that the Cheney-Bush team is blowing smoke when they
tell us that "... conservation can't help, it'll just be too
expensive to implement those technologies..." While on the other
hand, technology to develop and deploy weapons to blow incoming ICBMs
out of the sky are easy to come by.

government.
