Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. It was once so rich that Concorde used to fly from Caracas to Paris. But in the last three years its economy has collapsed. Hunger has gripped the nation for years. Now, it’s killing people and animals that are dying of starvation. The Venezuelan government knows, but won’t admit it!!! Four in five Venezuelans live in poverty. People queue for hours to buy food. Much of the time they go without. People are also dying from a lack of medicines. Inflation is at 82,766% and there are warnings it could exceed one million per cent by the end of this year. Venezuelans are trying to get out. The UN says 2.3 million people have fled the country - 7% of the population.

Industry News: Call for Film Submissions! - Recession Art

February 4, 2011

An amazing arts organization called Recession Art (more info here: http://recessionartshows.com/). Unlike traditional organizations, their group aims to circumnavigate the "gallery system" to connect artists with an audience at reasonable prices, as well as truly promote artists and their projects. Basically, a great hybrid model of commerce intertwining with real creativity. Their most recent show in Brooklyn, NY was a huge success and Recession Art consistently gains the attention of the public and press alike (http://recessionartshows.com/press)...

They've asked me to reach out to film people to spread the word about their up-and-coming film program. If you're interested, please see the flyer below, as well as this link, to learn more and submit: recessionartshows.com/film They are looking for all formats, lengths, genres, etc. So, if you have a film that you want to get some publicity on, or just want to test it out on a real audience, this is your chance! Also, once you participate in a Recession Art screening you'll be part of a whole community of filmmakers, with more opportunities to show your work at future events.

Please feel free to pass along to any friends you may know who would be interested. Also, please feel free to post on entertainment boards as well.
