from the "closing time" dept.

Monday was another day of film, with a smattering of work.

This morning Brent and I went to see two Nicaraguan films... both were low-budget docs. The first was pretty good and focused on the problems of young mothers in the country. Pretty scarey reality and attitudes... 14-year-olds being "ready" to have a child. Or the excuse that a potion made them pregnant, not a man.

The second film dealt with prostitution. It was pretty gritty, and at times funny. But then it got lost with a bunch of stuff about AIDS.

The rest of the day was spent on work, and getting ready for the gala Film Fest closing in about an hour. Then there is a Mexican film and a Cuban film on the agenda.

Tomorrow I head to Caye Cauker.

More late tonight or tomorrow morning.

Cheers!
