Silversalt PR is very excited to be going to Cannes with ALTIPLANO, a Belgian film by Peter Brosens & Jessica Woodworth. The film, a lyrical tragedy about three souls intersecting on Peru’s high plains, stars the Peruvian actress Magaly Solier whose previous film La teta asustada won a Golden Bear in Berlin last February. ALTIPLANO is competing in the Critics’ Week section.

With the Tribeca Film Festival around the corner, Silversalt PR is working at full speed on the publicity of Newsmakers, a Russian/Swedish remake of the Johnnie To film Breaking News. It’s an action thriller about media manipulation by the Moscow police. It’s fun to work on a genre film, which in the US is not as frowned upon by the press as in Europe, where arthouse is king. Speaking of which, Cannes is around the corner too and I’m getting ready to buy a French SIM card.
What with all that festival frenzy it’s important to relax too. Right now, I’m only do a bit of yoga at home with the help of some DVD’s and my cat Pushkin who likes to walk underneath me when I’m doing the downward dog. But for inspiration I head over to Stacie Stukin’s informative blog L.A. Mandala - Living La Vida Yoga.

I’m very sad about our friend Duane Jarvis, who died of colon cancer last Wednesday. We have fond memories of him staying at our place in Brooklyn, and the shows he played in New York and Europe. Click here for more info on donations. The LA Times and The Tennessean wrote eloquent obituaries.
I’m glad we were at least on the West Coast when he was still enjoying the Pacific Ocean from his room in Marina del Rey last week; I’ve posted some ocean pix on Flickr that I took there in his memory.

In my youth, Dutch-ness was sort of a prickly virtue to us and an occasion for dull mockery to others. _______Gore Vidal: 1876
