I am not the best news reader, it`s not a common thing to do, you know, reading newspapaers or web pages, at least not for me. I wonder why...maybe it`s because
I feel that the relation between us and the news is always a distant one. My best example is the last summer earthquake.
We were in a hill...things happened so fast, we could see little lights desapear in the sea, maybe ships, but nothing was clear. What kind of news can you recive there?, is it usefull to know that five people have allready died?, is something going to change if the president is in his house or in his way to who knows where?
Some say that we should have being warned...can we blame them for not to?, maybe yes, but, why didn`t I spected?, for example. Maybe the reason why I can`t be interested in newspapers it`s the same that makes me think that there`s nobody there taking care of you.
I remember the sound of the birds, runing scared from what was disturbing their water beds. Before that, the earthquake was a joke, a fun moment, an adventure for young stupid kids. After those birds and the wave that woke them up, all life came to present, death was there, showing us his face in visions that can`t be avoided.
You could only run. A friend was helping a man that have lost his son durning the earthquake, they were serching for the kid, thinking that maybe he runned away with his mother...when the wave came, I thought that it was imposible to save my friend...he was far away from us, maybe two blocks, what can I do?..I better run for my life..
After all, he joined us in our escape through the street, and I felt good knowing that he was alive...but I didin`t stop, I never stop running beacuse I was taking care of my own.
I have come to this beacause I belive that an experience like that, somehow, showed me that we can trust in others, take care of them, but, can we sacrifice?, realy sacrifice?...can we expect them to sacrifice for us?...can we blame people that didn`t warned us?...maybe I would have fail as they did.

Hi
Today I´ll talk about my experience in 2010 sanfic, it isn´t much, actually is not even close to an overview of the event, but what can I do?, thats all what I got.
Sanfic, for what I know, it´s an audiovisual festival that gathers diferent kind of directors from Chile and some foreing to. The idea is to create an instance where chilean artist can show their work and, ofcourse, recive the attention of nacional and international public and critics.
I went there, yesterday, at Hoyts cinema in La Reina, because a friend of my was going to show his short film. It started at two thirty p.m. and I was finishing my breakfast at two fifty. Is not that I am proud of that, I just had to say it because it explains why my bike was almost stolen later.
I was aware that my friend´s film was the first from the list of yesterday´s noon, he´s very organized and I remember thinking "well..we all know that this kind of things start after the schedule says", but it didn´t, so the second short movie was on when I got there.
An advice: never watch a movie or whatever it is in the dark halls of the cinema (from where you enter the room) because it´s, indeed, completly dark, and people who enters late like you, bomps in to you saying "sorry compadre", and keep walking whitout knowing that seven more people is siting in the invisible floor, and that he´s gonna need a "sorry" for all of them.
At least could saw the other three films. They last between five and fiveteen minutes. It´s dificult to make yourself an opinion of what is better or worst (because that´s what we have to do) butt I before doing...

We all now that education is a subject that has managed to
call the atention of a large number of social groups. It has
been the center of many of the politic discutions, and our university
is not an exception of a context where the problems related to it
have found a politic pronunciation.
The problem is that the question for how educational sistem must be constructed,
is often mixed whit old discutions about things that goes beyond the choices estrictly related whit education, and our university is, again, not an exception of
an institution - and here I mean the revolucionary students institution - that will always work whit problems from a point of view that hasn´t change since the traditional left revolucionary ideology stablish as the politic and aesthetic rule.
