So, yesterday I was out and about working on a side project, about to head home actually, when while at metro La Tour-Maubourg I couldn’t catch a train because they were all packed with Sri-Lankan protesters heading to manifest at Ecole Militaire. About the third train that stopped the conductor said, “The next station is saturated and it would be a better idea for the protesters to walk to Ecole Militaire, because he wasn’t moving”.

As a river of enthusiastic yet peaceful protesters disembarked the train and flowed up the stairs to the street I said to myself, “I’ve got my camera and some time; let’s check this out and maybe get some photos.” I’m happy I did. I took about 120 photos, some good some really not so good.

If you like I posted some others in my Flickr profile. You can head over there and check out the other photos  from Sri-Lankan (Tamouls) Manifest at Ecole Militaire Paris 4, Fev, 2009

Hey All,
I wanted to share this short that I came across. In my opinion it is way beyond excellent. Almost no dialogue I believe it is a piece that crosses cultural lines.

This piece was an entry into THE SCHWEPPES SHORT FILM FESTIVAL. You might notice some not so covert product placement of Schweppes and Coca-Cola. But hey maybe it was part of the rules since they sponsored the festival.
