The Screenings Pablo and I were enjoying Santa Rosa so much that we ended up almost missing our bus back to Medellin. We ended up getting back with just enough time to get a bite to eat, take a shower and then head out to the next screening.
The screening was at Otraparte, a cultural center in the south of Medellin. Every wednesday night of March, Otraparte hosted screenings of VOCES. each screening featured a different set of films.
After the screenings, I did a short Q&A about my work and then had an interesting discussion that centered around what the "green" movement was like in the US. I think the most interesting point of the discussion is that despite the fact we (the USA) have a tendency to create problems, we also have the resources and brain power to fix those problems. This is obviously something that I hope will hold true in the years to come.
After the screenings, a group of us got food and drinks at the adjacent cafe/bar at Otraparte. After a very long and tiring day, sitting back and sipping on some nice Colombia rum was a real treat. I was very happy to find out that rum is the choice drink in Colombia. Its one of the few liquors i really enjoy.
