2006 marks the 60th year of the publication of
Carlos Bulosan's America is in the Heart.
The semi- autobiographical masterpiece unflinchingly
chronicled the oppressive poverty that drove him
from his homeland, the brutality of the immigrant
experience of the 1930s-40s and the struggle for
full humanity of the marginalized protagonist.
In celebration of this literary legacy, Likhanan
invites you to a public reading and open mic of
passages from the book and other Bulosan writings
on November 16, 2006 (Thurs), 7-9 p.m., Bistro
70s, # 46 Anonas St., Proj. 2, Quezon City.

The 9th IFFR Trainee Project for Young Film Critics
of the International Film Festival Rotterdam offers
up to six young (under 30 years), motivated and
talented film critics from outside The Netherlands
a chance to get acquainted with the festival and
the cinema of the world.
The Trainee Project for Young Film Critics was
created in 1998 motivated by the fact that young
and upcoming film critics get less opportunity
to explore this range of cinema and the festivals,
like the International Film Festival Rotterdam,
that presents it. The IFFR’s CineMart organizes
a trainee project for young film producers (Rotterdam
Lab) in close collaboration with its partner organizations.
