| Cuba is still a quiet, laid-back, underdeveloped island, despite the USA nearly launching WW3 when the Russians attempted to supply them with military help. Cuba has inspired all 3rd-world countries in the world, especial-ly Latin America, when it dump-ed the American brothel & gam-bling machines off their shores. Here are new photographs in their honor by Paul Anthony. |  |

fiba's festival corrrespondent Mark Silberstein by chance met Ariel Dorfman during his visit to the 20th International Film Festival in Amsterdam last winter. Dorfman was cultural advisor in Allende's Democratically elected Socialist govern-ment of Chile when the US and the CIA's dirty tricks were known for supporting coups in Latin American countries and this was no exception in 1973. Dorfman's book on the subject (A Promise to the Dead) was made into a film 'The exile journey of Ariel Dorfman'. Directed by Canadian director Peter Raymont and made in 2007. Check it out. This is what double-indemnity is all about. |

In CHINA Martin Luther King was regarded as the Nelson Mandela of his enslaved people in Amer- ica. Long before the Yanks had acknowledged him as the mouth piece of BLACK PEOPLE in the USA, oppressed nations could compare him to Chairman Mao who cham- pioned the vast continent of the far east for his countrymen. |

The Motown Museum (right) re-presents the only remaining in-dustry - besides the Boxing Mu-seum gym - from a beautiful Euro-pean town founded in 1701 by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, as a trading post for the French to trade with the Chip- pewa Indians. After WW 1 fac- ist-racist Henry Ford, a close alley of Adolf Hitler, turned it into a cheap auto metropolis using only WHITE laborers. |

Nearly 10 years ago an important poet/filmmaker passed away in Germany. However he is barely known in English speaking countries although he was born in the USA and his father born in the UK. George Moorse died in Germany in 1999. Post-WW2 German cinema owes a great deal to George Moorse - who inspired Germany's sights and sounds about themselves. It's time the Brits and Yanks learn every thing they can about him. |
| The White minority of Philadelphia consists mainly of America's founding families' (living in luxury up the river); the rest are small packs of unemployed workers who are joined by a bunch of New Jersey left-overs who called themselves ULA (Underground Literary Alliance) started in 2000. So now, having moved West after conquering NYC and the East coast, ULA produce their own theatrical performances, and publish books and record CDs of their shows. Frank Walsh, one of Philly's best poets, whose poem EARTHDAYMAYDAYANYDAY published here, helps ULA to bring a modicum of joy and fun to the old capital Philadelphia where nearly none exists. |

WINGED
SISTERHOOD IN THE USSR is the title of a SHOCKING
piece of World
war
history.
Kept 'secret' by the
WEST
for obvious reasons - not least be- case the only visual combat use
of women by the Allies
were the nude females on the noses of USA
bombers.
Take a look and be AMAZED
by how the Soviets women served their country.

BLANK PANTHERS; The Revolu-tionary Art by Emory Douglas is the very BEST hard copy book published during this past year - if not for more than a decade ago. Rizzoli, Inc., the US publisher. deserves a special award for having managed to produce this extraordinary 250 page card-paper publication. The art work of Emory Douglas is unique to say the least. And his special subject - the brief existence between 1967 and 1977 of the Black Panther Movement is worthy of a Nobel Prize! It brings to life those brave African-Americans who attempted to liberated their people from the gross injustice and lack of compensation meted out to them for their years of slavery and servitude. Even to this day. You'll want to OWN a copy of this book soon as you see it. |
