Spanish cinema makes waves on American shores

By Kate Carolan | November 16, 2004

With the ever-growing population of Spanish speakers in the United States, the last 10 years in particular have seen an increase in Hispanic, and predominantly Latin, culture, from the Macarena to Ricky Martin. During this time, Spanish-language film has also seemed to grow in popularity, and to many Americans, is mistakenly viewed as a new phenomenon. Much to the contrary, Spanish film has a long, rich tradition rooted in amazing cinematography, surrealist approaches and unparalleled character development that has propelled it to the forefront of the film industry for decades. Luis Bunuel, commonly regarded as the father of surrealist film, was a contemporary of Salvador Dali and Federico Garcia Lorca and truly revolutionized cinematography.

Dem. candidates debate

By Kate Carolan | January 26, 2004

Presidential candidates Howard Dean, Joe Lieberman and Dennis Kucinich filed into Moore Theatre Sunday afternoon to agree on several points -- most notably, that the Bush administration has kept women from reaching equality on an array of levels. Speaking at a forum sponsored by Lifetime Television and ABC's "Good Morning America," the candidates found little to argue on, and instead took time to tout their individual accomplishments in elected office. Dean was accompanied to the event by his wife, physician Judith Steinberg Dean, and Lieberman came with his wife, Hadassah. Kucinich, twice-divorced, is currently unattached. Dean, Lieberman and Kucinich answered questions posed by the event's moderator, ABC's Claire Shipman, who gave each of them a few minutes to address women -- a demographic comprising a large proportion of the Democratic base and 52 percent of voters in the 2000 election. The floor was then opened to topics selected and approved before the start of the debate. Dean stressed the importance of an education component in early childcare, as well as the significance of providing affordable daycare as means for keeping women in the workplace. Lieberman, in one of his many criticisms against the current administration, condemned President Bush for the state of the Headstart program and for "turning his back" on the lower and middle class.
