« 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…

On a hot spring night, Mara Vujić, director of the City of Women Festival, accepted to answer a few questions. A couple days later, the woman from Slovenia sent back the 'intervju', as she calls it. This is all just online foreplay but you better get ready: Mara's coming to town!
FD: City of Women is the name of your project. Is it pure

I think the whole global warming changed into blogal warning.
The blog era has spread so quickly, man could not get prepared properly. Everyone has his/her own blog now. All…
