The numbers do not fully absorb. As of this writing, 1,783 cultural heritage sites have been damaged or destroyed in Ukraine since February 24, 2022. Among them, 46 have been completely erased. The Ministry of Culture counts 346 artists and 132 media workers dead. PEN Ukraine had already reached 102 cultural figures killed by the end of 2024, and the count has not stopped. These are not collateral casualties. They are the point.

Trina Sears Sternstein artwork illustrates a documentary on Alice Parker
Growing up I watched my father at work on the design of the jackets of the LPs published by Discos Qualiton, a record label he cofounded with a handful of friends in the 60s. In those days my father would cut out strips of paper, columns of text, paintings and drawings, carefully arrange them and paste them onto a board to create the album artwork. This original would then be photographed and the resulting negative split into four basic colors and delivered to the printers.

THE MISSING PICTURE
"We were, very frankly, the first group that mixed blacks and whites on stages in the South. There were a lot of mayors that didn’t know we integrated their hotels, too. We’ve had, in the South, capital cities, we’ve had the front three rows, which are the expensive rows, get up and leave as our group walked on stage. But we never cancelled a concert. In some respects, we led that crusade in the Arts.” Robert Shaw.

THE ARCHIVES | Interesa un incisivo documental sobre Jorge Luis Borges.
Eduardo Montes Bradley, el mismo de «Soriano», elude hacer una obra definitiva. Lo que ha querido hacer, y lo consigue, es una obra incisiva, lo cual es mucho más interesante. Vale la pena.

THE ARCHIVES | La belleza a la izquierda — Reseña de un Filme de Montes-Bradley.
Los cuentos del timonel es el primer documental de Eduardo Montes-Bradley referido a un intelectual vivo. Los de los anteriores, Harto the Borges y Soriano (más el que está terminando sobre Cortázar), están construidos en un conjunto de testimonios, la mayor parte de las veces contrapuestos, que van delineando un perfil del personaje central alejado de los lugares comunes. Osvaldo Bayer, en esta película, es el único narrador.

THE ARCHIVES | Buena semblanza de Osvaldo Soriano
El cineasta Eduardo Montes Bradley salva los problemas del cine biográfico, sencillamente gracias a un vaivén de temas y de años, que saltan sin repetirse, de forma amable, como una conversación acerca del amigo. No es una biografía, es una semblanza hecha con adecuado montaje. «Tampoco pintemos a un santo», recuerda uno de los testimoniantes, Pasquini Durán, en charla de ex compañeros de redacción. En efecto, aquí también hay espacio para quienes critican cosas de Soriano, l

THE ARCHIVES | Interesante perfil del escritor Osvaldo Soriano
El realizador Eduardo Montes Bradley tuvo que lidiar con la memoria de un autor inmensamente popular, muy querido y respetado en el gremio de prensa y fallecido no hace mucho. Soriano no es, sin embargo, un producto desdeñable: será útil para los jóvenes en general e insoslayable para los miles que estudian periodismo. Y que si desechan ciertas rémoras de la obra, como por ejemplo si Osvaldo Soriano (1943-1997) era resistido por las capillas literarias, podrán apreciar al que

THE ARCHIVES | Un Film su Osvaldo Soriano di Eduardo Montes-Bradley
IL MANIFESTO, Mercoledì 8 de octubre de 1997 -- Il regista argentino Eduardo Montes Bradley, che proprio qualche giorno fa è stato segnalato da Tuttolibri della Stampa come uno dei pochi cineasti non Usa capaci di rispondere picche alle seduzioni delle major di Hollywood, sta lavorando a un lungometraggio, in bianco e nero, sulla figura di Osvaldo Soriano, giornalista e scrittore innamorato del calcio, scomparso nel gennaio di quest’anno.
