Post 8 (03-12) An Artist You Love.

Explosions in the Sky

The year was 2009 and me was a geek teenage that I liked very much surfing in the internet, them year I discovered in Youtube one band that changed my musical tastes, they’re "Explosions in the Sky".

This band of post-rock instrumental of the Austin, Texas, born in the year 1999, made up for three guitarists, one bassist and one drumer. In the year 2004 they released their first álbum and done to date they've already released seven albums and also have composed the soundtrack for four movies.

In the year 2015 I saw them in the musical festival “Primavera Fauna” and was a religious experience, the sound of the guitars with the distortion, delay and synthesizers I was feel have a emocional trip through of fast and slow melodies in the same song, that was amazing. Also the emotional and madness performance of the artists onstage to shown that they can feel the music with a cathartic experience, as well as me and all the people in them moment.

For my, all art expression is relevant in this world, even more in this days, but the music is a essential part for my day by day and is what distracts me from the problems.

Post 7 (27-11) : Current Issues

All Cat Are Beautiful

It has now been a week since that the police of Chile killed Camilo Catrillanca, a member of the Mapuche Community of the Araucanía region, one week, during which, the state of the republic of Chile covered up this institution of murderers through false evidence and shift of attention by media. All of this, once more, under the historic conflict between the state of Chile and the Mapuche People, that arises in the century XVI when the conquering Spaniards snatched violently the lands of this native people.

Yesterday on CNN Chile there was a talk about one posible solution to stop the murders that the police carried out against the mapuche people, the journalist said that the state should have absolut control over the police of Chile, because to the present day this institution seems has control totally autonomous. But my solution is more simple, first, the state return the lands  at the mapuche people, second, withdraw the police force of the araucania, and finally to imprison at the uniformed murderers.

This issue catches my attention because it reveals how disgusting the state of this country is, because from the beginning Chile is a country corrupted by the political power, a country that talks about “progress” but it does not practice it. The murder of Camilo Catrillanca, the conflict of the state with de mapuche people and the issues for health in the community of Quinteros due to environmental pollution, all this shows that this country is falling deeper into the neoliberal capitalism and in his own ego, worthy of one climber society.

Post 6 (13-11) Post Graduate Studies

Post Graduates Now?!

I finish the university in three months more and undertaking a post graduate in this moment of my life it would be very hasty because I currently I’ve others plans for my in the short term, but I’ve on my mind taking one post degrees in 3 years maybe. I will like very much taking some related with the cinematography, I think that my formation in the university about of this theme is very basic and I think that it would be very important for my laboral future because I want dedicated at this.

Few months ago, I reviewing some pages in internet of universities abroad and I was found countrys offered many options of undertaking post graduate, but Spain and France which have attracted my attention, because the curriculum it promises to strengthen the relation between screenplay and cinematography in addition to the multicultural environment that create. Spain offer very much options of post graduate in different universities of Madrid and Barcelona, that is great for me because my girlfriend will travel in two years more at Barcelona and I think that could to job in this place to pay my post graduate. The other options is France, there I prettend undertaking one postgraduate in the school of cinema La Femis, Is very complicated enter in this school but I will try, I think with my studies of french I will achieve somethings.

Post 5 (06-11) - My Future Job

The Dream Job

In the actuality I'm in my fifth and the last year in the University of Chile, in the cinema career, and hence also I would like that my future job is related with the world of the cinema, but mostly I would love work in the area of cinematography.

I think to explore more in this world I may starter at familiarize myself more with the professional environment that exists in the large filmings, contrary that happens when you are student, also be keeping abreast of the new technologies, learn more about of the theory of the cinematography, generate panel discussions,  promoting and decentralising the culture of cinema, among others.

One of the benefits to work in cinema world is that most of the time I don’t need to stay sit in an office all day, because  usually we must be in many places during the filming, for example to record in one closed environment (home, appartament, recording studio) or in a outdoor space (forest, beach, city, street). Other benefits of this work is that always we be keep moving, whether in the city, within the country or in the world.

I think that this job is ideal for me, one person that don’t like much the routine, that’s why I love my career, because gives me the possibility to not stay at one place for a long time.
