I went to the kitchen today, where my housemate P. was making a peanut butter/cucumber sandwich.
'Food!', I uttered.

Participantes, curadores e organizadores, todos juntos por algo em torno de 10 dias num festival em Nijmegen, Holanda. Lá, encontramos participantes do International Media Training - que fariam a cobertura do festival Oddstream [ http://www.oddstream…

Esta es la historia de un cani (o un choni, o un poligonero, ya saben…) que, en su empeño por deshacerse de la hipoteca, deberá recorrer el Reino de Españistán para enfretarse con todos y cada uno de los malandrines, meapilas y soplagaitasque lo pueblan, dando lugar a un relato plagado de tópicos, tacos y faltas de ortografía, con bien de lobbies, parados, mileuristas, pensionistas, funcionarios,…

« C'est le coup d'envoi! » lance Jasmine Catudal d'un air défiant, pour désigner la belle soirée d'ouverture du OFFTA qui attend les montréalais ce vendredi 27 mai. Celle qui cumule les chapeaux de directrice générale et artistique du plus hybride des festivals de Montréal a le sourire collé aux lèvres. Mais pourquoi donc? Qui a t-il de si explosif dans cette 5ème édition du Festival d'arts vivan…
