Dear Friends:
Rattapallax magazine is shifting from CDs to DVDs for
the spring 2006 issue (April 2006). We are including
short films based on poetic and literary content with
the magazine.
Cinema has become the people's art. With the advent of
digital technology, filmmaking has become accessible
to everyone. In this year's Tribeca Film Festival,
over 50% of the films were made with digital cameras
and 85% were edited on a computer. By merging poetry &
literature with cinema, we can greatly advance the art
form.

Some of the film-makers included in the DVD are Abbas
Kiarostami (won the Palme d’Or at Cannes Film Festival
for Taste of Cherry); Daniel Mitelpunkt; Rob Epstein
and Jeffrey Friedman (received two Academy Awards);
Tonya Hurley; and films on Joyce Carol Oates, Yusef
Komunyakaa, Martín Espada and selections from the 2004
Zebra Film Awards.
Cheers
