Jose Ramirez and Ron Crosson
Providence Latin American Film Festival

Original Episode Summary:
The world is a big place with big ideas and lots and lots of music. That is the tagline of Sonic Watermelons, but remove the word music and replace it with movies, and we might be talking about the Providence Latin American Film Festival (PLAFF), coming up in September. Today on Sonic Watermelons, we talk more about PLAFF with Programming Coordinator and Treasurer Ron Crosson and Sonic Watermelons' own Jose Ramirez, who is serving in his first year as Co-Director of the festival.
What does the process look like to move from attending and consuming the culture and media at a film festival to curating, selecting and arranging the pieces of a festival? What is the process used to select a film and how do you get a team onto the same page? And what is the purpose of PLAFF and future direction of the organization and event? We'll talk about this and more TODAY on Sonic Watermelons, Tuesday, August 23, 2016.

Micro-filmmaking and discussions about Latinos in Hollywood: it’s that time of year again, friends - Providence Latin American Film Festival time. This year’s events run September 28 thru October 2nd, and in addition to the capital city, screenings are also happening at Bryant University in Smithfield and the Warwick Public Library (in city of said name).
PLAFF is in its 24th year and #sonicwatermelons team member, Jose Ramirez, has evolved from a guy who used to watch the films to being a co-director (alongside Saul Ramos). Ron Crosson, on the other hand, has been involved since 2000 and during times in which attendees and participants included. Danny Glover, Anthony Quinn, and Antonio Banderas.
Learn about how film festival producers, like those part of PLAFF, and Latino filmmakers worldwide have interacted with Cuba and have dealt with questions of geography, identity and location, and hear about what’s coming up at this year’s festival in “Film from the Latino Diaspora and Ronald Kevin Lewis Visits Sonic Watermelons” the podcast.

Original Episode Summary:
From "diffusing virtual bombs," coding and programming computers, and sending teams to Japan, you might think that Steam Box is a branch of the CIA. In fact, they're a three a year old organization working to "buil[d] employable skills through Technology in Youth Driven Programs." Or at least that's what they're Twitter account says.
We'll learn more, plus squeeze in tidbits about South by Southwest (SXSW) TODAY on Sonic Watermelons, Tuesday, March 15, 2016.

Audio from the podcast also comes from the Reza Rites / Sonic Watermelons Archive:
“Afrofuturism, Education and Digital Literacy: A Conversation with Cornelius Minor and Reza Rites” was a series of podcasts and an article shared almost a year ago (May 2015) on VenusSings.com, Sonic Watermelons, Vimeo, and Soundcloud. In a 2011 TED Talk, scholar Ingrid LaFleur defined and summarized Afrofuturism as “a wide range of media” that allows for “imagining possible futures through a black cultural lens.” Minor, who helps trains teachers as a Staff Developer at Columbia University’s Teachers College Reading and Writing Project, and Reza talked about digital media, building relationships with students, and ways in which Afrofuturism can support and connect to these and other classroom needs. To find/hear more of the podcasts (on Soundcloud and Mevio) and to read the accompanying article on VenusSings.com, visit http://bit.ly/24d2NpP.
