Trees by JOSHUA YELDHAM, (b 1970, Sydney, Australia) 
The Yeldhams are one of Sydney’s notable families, but Joshua’s journal reveals that his privileged background was both a blessing and a curse. Suffering from dyslexia he had a terrible time as a boarder at Cranbrook, where he played the clown to compensate for his academic shortcomings, and to avoid being bullied. His next move, however, was to Switzerland, where he received a more cosmopolitan education and developed a taste for mountain climbing.From there Yeldham went on to the Rhode Island School of Design, where he became interested in filmmaking. His major student foray into the medium took him eleven times to the remote region of Mt. Humboldt in the Venezuelan Andes. The movie that resulted, Frailejón, would win an Emmy and an Oscar nomination for best student film in the United States for 1993. That hour-long movie is rarely seen today, but it is screening in the first room of this survey.For a young man of 23 such early plaudits might have been the launching pad for a career as a successful director, but when Yeldham was given $5,000 to develop the script of a second film, he used the money to buy a yellow Kombi and headed for the desert. 
He seems to have had the same kind of experience as Robyn Davidson, but without camels. In brief: one goes to the desert to get lost and find oneself in the process. According to Yeldham’s journal this is roughly what happened, although when he tried to turn his experiences into a script it was rejected as too ethereal and not even faintly commercial. Perhaps he should have persevered – it took 40 years for Tracks to make it to the screen.
Returning to Sydney Yeldham gave up on the film world to pursue his burgeoning interest in the visual arts. He moved to the Hawkesbury with his partner, Jo, and began the love affair with Nature that has produced most of the work in this exhibition. This period has also produced two children, who have taken their places in the Yeldham vision of life, love, art and the universe. His journal, and perhaps the exhibition itself, is presented as an extended communication with his first child, Indigo.
The book and the art have such a private feel it seems strange to be writing about them as public artefacts. If this were a Hollywood movie, Indigo would find a dust-covered volume in the old family home after her parents had departed this world. She would begin to read, and the sound of her father’s voice would arise in her mind and the viewer’s ears. Soon we’d be in the midst of a lengthy flashback, as dad’s autobiography was replayed in glorious colour, interspersed with touches of homespun philosophy.
Putting it this way I can see why Yeldham chose the visual arts over cinema, although he has never totally abandoned the medium, as revealed by the very accomplished short film that concludes this show. The journal acts as an intimate, unconventional exhibition catalogue, full of notes, poems, sketches, memorabilia, artworks and snapshots.
Most of the work in this survey was completed on the Hawkesbury, including paintings, sculptures, drawings and engraved photographs. The latter are among Yeldham’s most innovative pieces. He prints a photo on a large slab of homemade paper, then carves back into it with a belt sander, which he uses with the delicacy of a fine etching tool. Trees grow patterns that resemble indigenous inscriptions on burial poles. Webs and pinpricks of white light cluster and sparkle amid the grey tones. Even his children get the treatment, being given white tattoos that cover half their bodies. Perhaps this is good parental psychology: they may be less tempted to get real ones when they’re old enough.

Sorry for the late post guys but it's been kinda busy for me, but this just means I'll have double the pinups for this week!! Today we give a shoutout to the güeritas with Honey Lemon from Disney's Big Hero 6!! What's weird is I was trying to figure out just what nationality she's representing but apparently the official Disney bio only says she's "latina" and that's it. Come Disney, ya'll could do better. So I just looked up Genesis Rodriguez' nationality and she's mixed with Venezuelan and Cuban! And since Rodriguez says that Honey Lemon is basically just her in cartoon form, lets go with that!! Mystery solved!! Wasn't that hard, Disney!! Also, found out her dad is "El Puma" of Mexican cinema fame!! Anyway I hope you guys like it and I'll see you here for the next one!!

❤💙 How I found out I'm Bisexual (STORYTIME)💙❤
Hi Guys! I hope you are doing well and I hope you are having a nice start to the month and a happy start to Pride Month!
Tumblr media
Today I wanted to bring a storytime about how I discovered that I am bi, I hope you like it and without further ado let's start. To make this storytime a bit funny I added some memes and clips from stan twitter
Since I was a little boy I have always been attracted to girls, the truth is I used to spend more time with girls than with other boys (except for some friends), I also started to develop some crushes with some celebrities like Shakira, which I remember that When I was 4 years old and I saw the Waka Waka music video for the first time, I fell deeply in love with Shakira. And there was no change, until 4th grade or 3rd grade (I don't even remember haha, sorry xD)
Well let's say this happened in 3rd grade haha
I was 10 years old, I was a super friendly, affectionate and gentle boy (which I still am to this day haha). At that time I had a crush named Peach (let's call her that, since she and I are still friends haha), who is super cute, smart, friendly and above all, she liked Miraculous Ladybug and Five night At Freddy's! (I guess there's nothing more mid 2010s than those two things), and one day, a new guy came into the room.
And why lie to you guys?, THAT BOY WAS TOO CUTE!!, I mean he was like Dustin Broke (in ts4 but with some ts2 traits), but... he was the naughtiest boy in the class.
From there I did not stop looking at him and other boys, honestly I felt a little confused, although I also kept seeing the girls.
When I was in 4th grade I didn't really care if I liked boys or girls, the important thing is that I had friends. Although I am not going to deny that I did have several crushes in 4th grade (if I remember correctly there were 3 or 4 hahaha). and in 4th grade it was that my 3rd grade crush started talking to me, either to make very funny jokes, talk to me or just ask me questions, and I can't deny that I felt butterflies in my stomach when he talked to me haha.
Tumblr media
Do you remember Peach? Well, I had a "date" with her (to see a movie in the cinema, I think it was the last one from Ice Age) and I also had butterflies in my stomach with her.
At that time I didn't know that I was bisexual, until one day, an Aunt came out of the closet which I found interesting and I asked her about LGBT+, and she explained to me very patiently (If this aunt is reading this blog, Thank you so much aunt, I love you so much, you are a total idol!!, We love you!!) and I also started to investigate more about the community.
Years passed and our story continues in 2018
2018 was my first year being here in Ecuador, all of the above happened in Venezuela (when I lived there), at that time I think I was entering 8th grade. I had a neighbor who, like me, was Venezuelan (I don't even get along with this guy now, I mean, we don't even talk to each other anymore because we lost contact and we don't see each other), the truth is he seemed super cute to me, great, We spent hours playing and having fun. Then he started to seem handsome to me, and then, I started to have a crush on him... But, my crush on him left because he was a bit of a narcissist.
Then in 2019, I had my last relationship with a girl. My ex-girlfriend at the time and I shared a lot of things in common, we both liked the same singer (Melanie Martinez) and things like that lol. But when I was walking down the street and I saw a boy who seemed very handsome to me, I looked at him.
And that's when I realized that I was bisexual.
The truth is, I feel more comfortable with my sexuality, instead of being confused about myself, I have learned more about my personality and my tastes. When I told a lifelong friend that I was bi, she laughed a little and told me: "Hey, I've known for a long time haha", to which I was confused and then she said: " It's just that you were too obvious, you were always blushing or shy."
Tumblr media
And well, this has been my storytime, I hope you liked it! 😁💞💗

NOIDA, 7th Dec.2023 – In a momentous celebration of cinematic excellence and cultural diplomacy, 16th Global Film Festival Noida proudly presented the Award of Distinction to the distinguished film “The Inner Glow.” The accolade was conferred by Dr. Sandeep Marwah, Chancellor of AAFT University and President of the Global Film Festival, in the presence of a captivated audience comprising filmmakers, film enthusiasts, and students from across India and around the globe.

Her Excellency Capaya Rodriguez Gonzalez, the esteemed Ambassador of Venezuela to India, graciously accepted the Award of Distinction on behalf of the talented filmmakers behind “The Girls Squad.”

Dr. Sandeep Marwah expressed his satisfaction at the collaborative efforts, stating, “IVFCF has been our steadfast partner in all Global Film Festivals, and we are proud to witness the success and recognition that Venezuelan cinema has garnered on this prestigious platform.”
Ambassador Capaya Rodriguez Gonzalez conveyed her gratitude to the Global Film Festival Noida (GFFN) for designating Venezuela as the Focus Country. She expressed confidence in the power of cinema to facilitate cultural exchange and strengthen bilateral relations between Venezuela and India.
“The Inner Glow” and the other Venezuelan films showcased during the festival were lauded for their cinematic excellence, and Ambassador Capaya Rodriguez Gonzalez predicted that these films would play a pivotal role in fostering cultural ties and enhancing relations between the two nations.
In recognition of his exceptional contributions to promoting cultural ties, Dr. Sandeep Marwah conferred upon Ambassador Capaya Rodriguez Gonzalez the prestigious Hindi Cinema Samman, the most prestigious national award for the promotion of India-Venezuela relations, particularly in the realm of art and culture. A memento of the festival was also presented to the Ambassador as a token of appreciation.
The event was graced by the presence of Alfredo Caldera, Cultural Counsellor at the Embassy of Venezuela, and Rojyar Seyeddi, Counsellor at the Embassy of Venezuela, further enhancing the celebration of Indo-Venezuelan cultural collaboration.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last ten people however many you want who reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals & followers!! <3
Tumblr media
Sorry for leaving this in my ask box for a few days, I was gathering spoons after a very social weekend. Now onto my answer ❤️
1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
I love my boys so much, I have watched Mutant Mayhem twice in the cinema (and I have never done that) it is my new favourite film, the soundtrack is perfect, the art is stunning, and is has the amazing ability to balance laugh out loud funny with emotional.
And don't even get me started on the 2012 series...
💖
2. Slow burn romance
(especially with more reserved characters/cultures)
Give me Vulcans who are impossible to read and it's only after they stay by your side when they have the ability to leave that you realise that they care for you too.
Give me reserved British gentlemen (*cough*James Norrington*cough*) who are constrained by society to hold their feelings back. Do they love you? Are they just being a gentleman?
Give me elves who age so much slower, who don't realise they are being slow as they take centuries to court but the mortal they care for only has decades.
Give me fake lovers who are convinced that the swooping feeling in their stomach is just a part of the bit, and anyone's heart would flutter if their hand was kissed with such reverence, or they shared a blanket around a bonfire, or they slow-danced together at their cousin's wedding.
I could easily go on!
💖
3. Deep Space Nine
I could have put Star Trek in general, but it is DS9 that truly makes me happy.
I love the morally grey characters. I love how even the side characters get decent character development. I love the harsh mirror on "paradise" and the good found in the worst of times. I love the filler episodes, the baseball episode, the casino heist. I love the relationships (not always positive!); Garak and Bashir; Rom and Nog; Quark and Odo; Sisko and Dax; Sisko and Jake; Jake and Nog; Sisko and Kira; Kira and Zeyal; Dukat and everyone who hates him. I LOVE the bad guys, I love how compelling they are, how sympathetic they are, yet still ultimately bad. I love the raw feelings, credit to both the writers and the actors for bringing it to life (if you watch no other Star Trek, watch The Visitor for the most heartbreaking performance ever).
💖
4. Food!
My friends have often joked that my special interest is food. I love food, both eating and watching people prepare. I love trying new food, especially East Asian food, though I'm hoping to try more South American food (there's a Venezuelan place on my hit list). I can also spend hours watching cooking shows and have done since I was a child.
I am also the self-proclaimed queen of sauces, be it a pasta sauce, a dipping sauce, a soup (what is soup if not a diluted sauce?). This summer I have levelled up my BBQ game as well!
💖
5. My wife
I know, gay! But she does make me happy, even when I want to be miserable and when I'm just trying to have a good sulk.
💖
Thank you for sending this in, my ask box is usually quite empty and I welcome the change. (I know this turned into more of a things I love list, but a venn diagram of things you love and things that make you happy should just be a circle)

Despite my many differences with Oliver Stone as an artist, I congratulate him on having managed both to present an unhysterical assessment of Latin American leaders and issues in South Of The Border, and also to get it seen in the US. The latter, especially, is achievement indeed.
A rare precedent is Costa-Gavras's Missing, which netted Oscars in 1982 with its horrifying story of the US State Department's involvement in the murder of one of its own citizens during the US-backed Chilean coup of 1973. In retrospect, it looks like the last gasp of those liberal Hollywood instincts that saw producer Bert Schneider thanking the Viet Cong leadership as he accepted his Best Documentary Oscar for Hearts and Minds in 1975.
Elsewhere the story is one of movies ignored, shelved, suppressed and sabotaged. Roger Spottiswoode's Under Fire, set in Somoza's Nicaragua, barely squeaked on to US screens in 1983 amid rumours of studio nervousness – and political interference – when the Contras were at their barbarous high tide. Stone's Salvador was a critical hit you could barely find in cinemas. Ditto Haskell Wexler's Latino, in which Vietnam vet Robert Forster, sent to train the Contras, comes to see how his country is sponsoring mass murder overseas.
Even Missing has its antecedent in Costa-Gavras's career, State Of Siege, about the reasons behind the kidnapping of an American USAID official, which explicitly indicts Fort Benning's School of the Americas, a finishing school for aspirant tyrants. Scheduled as the inaugural screening at the Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts in 1973, it was withdrawn with the lame excuse that its themes might upset the Kennedy family. It was unavailable for almost 30 years after I saw it in 1981 at, of all places, the self-same Kennedy Centre.
It's the same story with documentaries. Good luck finding Blood Of The Condor, about the US Peace Corps' enforced sterilisation programmes among Bolivian Indians. Patrizio Guzmán's epic The Battle Of Chile (in which one cameraman filmed his own murder by a government soldier) is available – finally – from a US micro-distributor with great taste but little money. The Zapatista documentary A Place Called Chiapas never got serious American distribution; likewise The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, an account of the Venezuelan coup attempt of 2002.
In a way, none of this is surprising. If your country's relationship with an entire continent can be boiled down to a hot-button list that includes Guatemala 1954, the Bay of Pigs 1961, the murder of Guevara in 1967, the overthrow of Allende and the subsequent, continent-wide kindermord of the Condor assassination programme, shame is the decent response. No wonder no one's talking – except Stone. Good for him.
-John Patterson, "Oliver Stone nails Latin America's troubled relationship with the USA," The Guardian, Jul 23 2010 [x]

This is a cold take and I'm probably being wanky but let me tell you (I won't post this on the side blog because it's one it's my personal wank and also because I'm speaking of something I haven't seen yet, something I won't see for months) but...
It's really rich that the new RB ballet is so based on Mexican culture and we won't even be able to watch a cinema cast in Mesoamerica.
Also I was seeing the costumes and everything today in the curtain calls pictures and it really struck me that it's very cultural and everything but they haven't involved, like, any actual Mexican creatives directly in the process other than the book author. Oh yeah, they've been consultants, they've been inspiration or whatever but that's it and the whole thing makes me a bit uncomfortable. So many things have been removed from the repertoire, the national dances in The Nutcracker have been so sanitized and they're right to do that, but then why don't they afford the same respect to our cultures? There's this British guy for the music and this other British guy for the choreography and this other British guy in production and design, and they're great but I just feel weird about it. For example, they included some Venezuelan joropo for the Mexican Revolution?? What for?? There's plenty of beautiful Mexican Revolution music. Mexico is almost as far from Venezuela as it is from England.
I don't doubt that they've done this with the best intentions and I will probably watch it when I can but I've been feeling more and more uncomfortable with every new thing I've heard and seen about this and I don't really know what to think. Holding my judgement but getting this out of my chest.
