It surveys the landscape, explores the topography of the phenomenal, social, and lingual developments in contemporary Philippine Poetry. This is not simply a gathering of the intelligent. It is a harvesting of works by the willing and the devoted to the labor of crafting, the human turn, and the myriad possibilities of language.

"EXPLICIT AND ILLICIT: Short Films on the Edge"
Introduced by Joel Shepard; Film/Video Curator, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
This diverse shorts program features filmmakers who creatively use
explicit sexual subject matter. Sexy, weird, funny, disturbing, and
even confrontational, the films will both challenge and change you.
For mature audiences only. (90 minutes)

Curator in 1997, after having served as Associate Director for the San
Francisco Cinematheque since 1994. Prior to that, Shepard was
Assistant Director of the Minnesota Film Society in  Minneapolis , and

graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

CHRIS FUJIWARA is a writer, film critic, journalist, editor, and translator. His latest book, Jerry Lewis, published by the  University  of  Illinois Press , has been called "essential reading" (Richard Brody, The New Yorker) and "excellent" (Dave Kehr, The New York Times). Jonathan Rosenbaum (Cineaste) calls it "the first extended critical treatment of Lewis in English that Lewis deserves — including a thoughtful, sympathetic, and lucid (yet in no way sycophantic) thirty-two page interview that is conceivably the best one anyone has ever had with him." According to Edward Crouse (Cinema Scope), "Fujiwara’s frame is a glassbottomed boat where one views how J[erry] L[ewis]’s shifting identities and elongated gags mutated screen comedy."

Fujiwara's previous book, The World and Its Double: The Life and Work of Otto Preminger (Faber & Faber), was named one of the Financial Times' Books of the Year (2009). Fujiwara is also the author of Jacques Tourneur: The Cinema of Nightfall (Johns Hopkins University Press; foreword by Martin Scorsese), and the general editor of the anthology Defining Moments in Movies - known in some parts of the world as Movies (Little Black Book) (Cassell Illustrated).

Fujiwara is the editor of Undercurrent, which was named one of the top film-criticism sites by Film Comment. A former contributing editor of Hermenaut, Fujiwara has also written for Film Comment, Film Quarterly, Cineaste, Sight & Sound, InterCommunication, Osian's Cinemaya, CinémAction, The Asahi Shimbun, The Boston Phoenix, The Boston Globe, The Village Voice, The Chicago Reader, Film International, Moving Image Source, Senses of Cinema, and many other publications.

He has contributed to numerous anthologies, including cem mil cigarros: Os Filmes de Pedro Costa (Orfeu Negro), Taking Things Seriously (Princeton Architectural Press), Sleaze Artists: Cinema at the Margins of Taste, Style, and Politics (Duke University Press), Sergei Paradjanov (Magic Cinema), The 1,001 Films You Must See Before You Die (Quintet Publishing/Barron's), Ozu 2003 (Asahi Shimbun Press), The B List: The National Society of Film Critics on the Low-Budget Beauties, Genre-Bending Mavericks, and Cult Classics We Love (Da Capo Press), The X List: The National Society of Film Critics' Guide to the Movies that Turn Us On (Da Capo Press), The Film Comedy Reader (Limelight Editions), and The Science Fiction Reader (Limelight Editions). He edited the catalog for the Peter Watkins retrospective at the 2007 Jeonju International Film Festival.

Fujiwara has taught and lectured on film at Tokyo University, Temple University Japan, Yale University, Emerson College, Rhode Island School of Design, and the Athénée Français Cultural Center (Tokyo), and has participated in panel discussions and symposia on film aesthetics and criticism around the world. He has served on juries at numerous international film festivals. Fujiwara is a member of FIPRESCI (Fédération Internationale de la Presse Cinématographique), the National Society of Film Critics (USA), and the Boston Society of Film Critics.
