Tribeca Film Festival

One of the benefits of living near New York is the proximity of cultural institutions. My son, Ethan, is an aficionado of movies, so this past weekend we went to the Tribeca Film Festival to see a new documentary called "The Burning Season." (http://www.theburningseasonmovie.com/). It is the story of a young Australian entrepreneur named Dorjee Sun who wants to establish a carbon trading scheme to save the rain forests around the world. After the movie, the entire audience was invited to a party where Ethan got to meet and chat with Dorjee.

While we were hanging around the movie theatre, we also game across the grand opening of "Rudo y Cursi" and their charismatic young stars Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, who also starred together in "Y Tu Mama, tambien" from a few years ago. Both Ethan and I are great fans of this movie the work of Alfonso and Carlos Cuaron who wrote or directed these movies.

Needless to say, Ethan was very happy.
