...The Chicago Underground Film Festival is proud to present the Midwest Premiere of Anywhere U.S.A. winner of a Dramatic Competition Special Jury Prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Anywhere USA is a high-energy and big-hearted romp through the hysteria-fueled landscape of modern America. Told in three loosely connected segments (Penance, Loss, and Ignorance), the film is a dizzying portrait of America inspired by the director's (Chusy Haney-Jardine) own experiences as both foreigner and citizen of these United States.
Featuring a cast of mostly non-professionals, this deeply personal film manages to tread the lines between vulgar and humane, between absurd and tender...

América Soler-Everhart, the board president of FUNDVEC, recently returned from volunteering at Biblioteca Pública El Páramo in Venezuela and was able to bring back good news about the FUNDVEC library projects that are made possible because of their generous supporters:
Biblioteca Pública El Páramo - continues to be a beacon of hope for a better education and opportunity for poor rural children and parents in Caserío El Páramo (Valle de la Pascua) provides all who come with a large selection of quality books, learning media and a safe, comfortable place to read.
Planting Seeds of Knowledge Bookcase Libraries Project - Rural parents and preschool teachers are praising las pequeñas bibliotecas, or "the little libraries" that provide quality books for hundreds of rural preschool children. Thanks to all who have given special gifts that make age-appropriate books available, which are helping these children acquire essential basic pre-literacy skills that they need to become good readers and successful students!
Friends of Biblioteca Pública El Páramo Association has volunteered to keep the library clean and plans are underway to raise funds needed to help keep the library operating. The community is very excited to be involved, which is a tremendous help as budget constraints have caused FUNDVEC to cut back costs.
FUNDVEC wishes to thank you for your ongoing support on behalf of the thousands of rural citizens whose lives are being enriched by having access to books.
A mind in motion: Venezuelan artist Pancho Quilici is on a journey to uncover the mechanism of thoug

The landscape seems immediately familiar. A few steps to one side or another and we're certain that the view before us will somehow resolve itself and we'll be able to name the place. Wander as we might, the site remains unrecognized--yet the sensation that we already know it never disappears. Art critic Roberto Guevara observed that an encounter with a painting by Venezuelan artist Pancho Quilici was more like traveling than seeing. The vistas that fill the background of a Quilici painting invite exploration. The incomplete buildings, labyrinths, and futuristic, semitransparent geometric forms that dominate their foregrounds encourage it...

...Rather than locating the world’s dwindling band of dedicated tapestrists, the Sharps asked their favourite YBAs and other names from around the world - including the Egyptian artist Ghada Amer, the Iranian Reza Farkhondeh, the Venezuelan artist Jaime Gili, the Brazilian collective AVAF and the Pakistani artist Shahzia Sikander - to come on board, with the stipulation that none was allowed to know what the others were doing...
