My video “Beauty for Ashes” will be premiering at the Chicago Underground Film Festival.
‘Beauty for Ashes’ takes its title from the speech given by Robert Moses during the opening ceremonies of Flushing Meadow Park in Queens, a small swath of land near Shea Stadium escaped his development plan. This area became densely populated with family-run automotive shops that thrived despite city neglect and the absence of basic infrastructure like sewage, street maintenance and waste disposal. Now city leaders have deemed it blighted and plan to redevelop the area under eminent domain. Set in the shadow of a new stadium named after an ailing financial giant, ‘Beauty for Ashes’ is a portrait of the area and its laborers anticipating their imminent displacement.

Until last week, that is, when the creators of a Web comic version of the classic novel, called “Ulysses Seen,” said that Applerequired them to remove any images containing nudity before the comic was approved as an application for the iPad.

“The Greek authorities recently published the names of high-profile citizens accused of being tax cheats. Among other tactics, the government is trying to catch tax evaders by using satellite photos to spot undeclared swimming pools — an indicator of taxable wealth.”
