NEWS
The head of the Foreign Relations Committee in the Peruvian Congress denounced my film and the MoMA for screening it in an article in the Lima daily La Razón (a translation of her remarks is on page 4). She called it "an infamy" and said it was "a sadistic joke" to screen it in the city that suffered from 9-11. The Museum of Modern Art in New York has acquired the communist trilogy (Interkosmos, La Trinchera Luminosa, The Juche Idea) for their permanent collection. Phaidon Press included an essay and photo spread on La Trinchera Luminosa del Presidente Gonzalo in their new book TAKE 100—The Future of Film: 100 New Directors. In distribution news Kino Lorber has acquired The Juche Idea, so it will be touring a bit before its home video release in early 2011. The New York Times covered The Juche Idea twice this spring: Dennis Lim wrote an article on three new films about North Korea called Retricted, but Not Deterred; and Mike Hale wrote a review called It's Not Quite Hollywood Above the 38th Parallel. I am sloooowly working on a new film: a bit about the Cold War, liberation theologian Franz Hinkelammert and Reagan among other things.
