Blue Dreams DowntownPG. Mature Theme
USA-3:00 Silent B&W, Raiya Corsiglia – Director) A Coney Island man falls in love with a magical photograph that loves him right back.

Blue Dreams Downtown is an interesting idea, and although it’s only three minutes long, I found it to be strangely romantic and touching. The film begins with a man living in Coney Island staring at a photograph. When it shows the photograph, there’s a lady in it, moving. She appears to be reaching for him, and he appears to be reaching for her. He spends all of his time gazing into this portrait, falling asleep next to it, and waking up next to it.

I thought this was a beautiful story. Two people in love not being able to reach each other. The music was enormously moving, and really set the mood. Despite the length of this film, I found it to be very effective.

kindah_picture.jpgMade In Where?

By: Kindah Mardam Bey (Ontario Correspondent - Canada)

Recently, the question of where exactly my clothing is made has come to my attention. That little equal sign symbol on the back of Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin's hand represents Fair Trade. Which ultimately means that wealthier countries do not bleed third world countries for cheap labour. Seriously, it's a big problem, and while my brief encounter with awareness hit me in the early 1990s with Nike, and then with the outrageous brush with humiliation Kathy Lee Gifford was subjected to (wasn't everyone else doing the same as KLG?), I had little experience with the subject matter. Then the idea of Fair Trade slid slowly into my psyche, and when your High School school-bag toting cousin is more savvy on the subject then you, it's time to strip off and read the damn labels...Read More
