The Swedish Academy has announced that this year's Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to Mario Vargas Llosa. A quick flip to the IMDb reveals that, for all his contributions to the Latin American Boom of the 60s and 70s as well as his political engagement (he ran for the Peruvian presidency in 1990), he's no stranger to cinema, either. He co-directed a film in 1975, Pantaleón y las visitadoras, one of seven adaptations of his novels, the most well-known of which would be La ciudad y los perros (literally, The City and the Dogs, but better known as The Time of the Hero) and La tía Julia y el escribidor — Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter, adapted by Vargas Llosa and William Boyd and directed in 1990 by Jon Amiel.

Put on your boogie shoes and get your funk on at Frida’s this Friday night for Fishbone’s first live appearance in Wichita, with the Key Elements and Rudy Love Jr & The Getdown!
Tickets are on sale now. ($15 in advance, $20 at the door) and there’ll be some exciting announcements about the 2010 Tallgrass Film Festival.
Fishbone is an American band that plays a fusion of ska, punk rock, funk metal and more. The band was formed in 1979 in Los Angeles by John Norwood Fisher (bass, vocals) at 2010 Chariton where he and Phillip “Fish” Fisher (drums) his brother lived; also, Angelo Moore, who sometimes uses the stage name “Dr. Madd Vibe” (vocals, saxophones ranging from sopranino to bass, and theremin), Kendall Jones (guitar), “Dirty” Walter A. Kibby III (vocals, trumpet) and Christopher Dowd (keyboards, trombone, vocals). The group came from the same Los Angeles scene that spawned Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane’s Addiction.

Chicago – Just two weeks after the European Union Film Festival concluded at the Gene Siskel Film Center, another excellent international showcase of world cinema began in the Windy City. The 26th Chicago Latino Film Festival screens over 120 films during its two-week run, highlighting Latino filmmakers and cultures from Latin America, Portugal, Spain and the United States.
The festival is presented by the International Latino Cultural Center, in cooperation with Columbia College Chicago, and runs from Friday, April 16th to Thursday, April 29th. It kicked off last Friday with an Opening Night Gala in the form of a Mexican fiesta, commemorating Mexico’s Bicentennial Independence and Centennial Revolution Anniversary. “Round Trip,” the winner at last year’s Guadalajara Mexican Film Festival, was screened, and its director, Gerardo Tort, was in attendance. Yet there are plenty more first-class festival events in store for moviegoers during this upcoming week.
