| Description: | Prometheus Brown breaks the media down like only a radical second-generation Filipino in America who survived the Reagan-Bush dynasty and raps for a living can. This is his attempt to sift through the sensory overload of pop culture, hoping that you will accompany him on the never ending mission to find diamonds in the shitstorm. Maybe even debate the difference between a diamond and shit. Maybe there isn't a difference at all. He raps for Blue Scholars, reps for Bayan-USA and believes, like Godard, that everything is cinema. Except, of course, most cinema. |

Melissa Roxas Speaks X Revisiting Orapronobis/Fight For Us
Melissa Roxas speaks at Press Conference from Anakbayan Seattle on Vimeo. Watching Melissa Roxas tearfully recall her abduction and torture at the hands of the Philippine military last week in this press conference (watch the entire video feed archived posted above), I felt at once inspired and angered. More than I already have been at the over 1,000 extra-judicial killings and countless abductions that have happened under President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s US-supported regime. The indignation grows once you realize that this pattern of

RECAP: June 2009
Cinema took a back seat this past month as I spent most of June either in the lab finishing up the upcoming Blue Scholars OOF! EP or galavanting in NYC and SF. Shamefully only made it to two SIFF screenings and missed out on a grip of new films. On the other hand, I got to present my workshop, The Resistance of Philippine Cinema, in Seattle and SF with more dates being scheduled. Here’s a recap of films reviewed last month, in case you missed it: Persepolis (Vincent Paronnaud & Marjane Satrapi, 2007)

The most educational and entertaining film/video about Iranian society I’ve ever seen is a cartoon. No, I’m not trying to trivialize the film or its subject matter in the least. I’m merely reflecting on the irony. That despite all the “realism” about Iran that we Western audiences have been exposed to, whether it be mainstream news outlets or, to a lesser extent, films by Iranian directors (most notably
