哈瓦那:霓虹燈之城半世紀後重煥昔日光彩

在半個世紀後的今天,有一位古巴藝術家將城市古早的霓虹燈管重新安裝了回去,點亮了哈瓦那街景,並以此來慶祝這座城市的第500個生日。過去3年裏,藝術家洛佩茲(Kadir López)苦心孤詣,一一尋求城市復古招牌的拯救方式和修復的門道。這是他的藝術項目「哈瓦那霓虹燈光+燈牌」的一部分內容。截至目前,洛佩茲的團隊已經修復了50餘塊霓虹燈招牌,讓它們重現了舊日的風采。4月,洛佩茲還重新開放了40多年前的哈瓦著名的雷克斯電影院(Rex Cinema),並將之重新起名為雷克斯霓虹中心(REX Neon Center)。

出生於東京的吉田沙由里(Yoshida Sayuri),過去曾是一名記者。她笑稱,自己不喜歡烹飪,過去忙於工作,也鮮少下廚。搬來古巴、買了一間小房子後,她想利用這間房子開始自己的小生意;看著隨處可見的牛奶和蛋,決定來做可麗餅。當時沒有提供座位,只透過廚房的窗戶販售,以女兒的名字「Sayu」做為店名。

Michael Moore faces U.S. probe of Cuba trip

DAVID GERMAIN, Associated Press

10 May 2007

LOS ANGELES ?Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore is under investigation by the U.S.Treasury Department for taking ailing Sept. 11, 2001 rescue workers to Cuba for a segment in his health-care documentary Sicko.

The investigation provides another contentious lead-in for a provocative film by Moore, a fierce critic of President George W. Bush. In the past, Moore's adversaries have fanned publicity that helped the filmmaker create a new brand of opinionated blockbuster documentary.

Sicko promises to take the U.S. health-care industry to task the way Moore confronted Americans' passion for guns in Bowling for Columbine and skewered Bush over his handling of Sept. 11 in Fahrenheit 9/11.

The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control notified Moore in a letter dated May 2 it is conducting a civil investigation for possible violations of the U.S. trade embargo restricting travel to Cuba.

his office has no record that a specific licence was issued authorizing you to engage in travel-related transactions involving Cuba,?Dale Thompson, OFAC chief of general investigations and field operations, wrote in the letter to Moore.

In February, Moore took about 10 ailing workers from the Ground Zero rescue effort in Manhattan for treatment in Cuba, said a person working with the filmmaker on the release of Sicko. The person requested anonymity because Moore's lawyers had not yet determined how to respond.

Moore, who scolded Bush over the Iraq war during the 2003 Oscar telecast, received the letter Monday, the person said. Sicko premieres May 19 at the Cannes Film Festival and debuts in U.S. theatres June 29.

Moore declined comment, said spokeswoman Lisa Cohen.

After receiving the letter, Moore arranged to place a copy of the film in a afe house?outside the country to protect it from government interference, said the person working on the release of the film.

Treasury officials declined to answer questions about the letter.


e don't comment on enforcement actions,?said department spokeswoman Molly Millerwise.

 

The letter noted Moore applied Oct. 12, 2006, for permission to go to Cuba ut no determination had been made by OFAC.?br>
Moore sought permission to travel there under a provision for full-time journalists, the letter said.

The letter said Moore was given 20 business days to provide OFAC with such information as the date of travel and point of departure; the reason for the Cuba trip and his itinerary and the names and addresses of those who accompanied him, along with their reasons for going.

Potential penalties for violating the embargo were not indicated. In 2003, the New York Yankees paid the government $75,000 (U.S.) to settle a dispute that it conducted business in Cuba in violation of the embargo. No specifics were released about that case.

Sicko is Moore's followup to 2004's Fahrenheit 9/11, a $100-million hit criticizing the Bush administration over Sept. 11. Moore's Bowling for Columbine won the 2002 Oscar for best documentary.

A dissection of the U.S. health-care system, Sicko was inspired by a segment on Moore's TV show The Awful Truth, in which he staged a mock funeral outside a health-maintenance organization that had declined a pancreas transplant for a diabetic man. The HMO later relented.

At last September's Toronto International Film Festival, Moore previewed footage shot for Sicko, presenting stories of personal health-care nightmares. One scene showed a woman who was denied payment for an ambulance ride after a head-on collision because it was not preapproved.

The timing of the investigation is reminiscent of the firestorm that preceded the Cannes debut of Fahrenheit 9/11, which won the festival's top prize in 2004. Walt Disney Co. refused to let subsidiary Miramax release the film because of its political content, prompting Miramax bosses Harvey and Bob Weinstein to release Fahrenheit 9/11 on their own.

The Weinsteins later left Miramax to form the Weinstein Co., which is releasing Sicko. They declined comment on the Treasury investigation, said company spokeswoman Sarah Levinson Rothman.
