El martes 15 de marzo a las 8pm presentamos “Mediania”, del compañero titiritero Rodrigo Acosta de Venezuela, una historia a medias que es el primer largometraje de ficción-animación hecho en Venezuela, que tiene por protagonistas a reyes, príncipes y pueblo de medias y calcetines, habitantes de una gaveta.

“En la ciudad de Mérida, un equipo de entusiastas y creativos artistas audiovisuales, titiriteros, diseñadores, fotógrafos y personajes de un sinfín de oficios, se lanzaron a la poca convencional tarea de producir una película al estilo del señor de las medias con impresionantes castillos y rincones de la edad media.

Engavetada en la historia y en las conciencias de los pobladores de esta aldea vive el medio al hermano del rey Calcetino XL, el oscuro y gris Masmedia, quien aprovechando que su hermano sale de visita a otra gaveta de medias, toma el poder implantando la dictadura mediática a todos sus pobladores. “

“Mediania” es apto para toda la familia.

La entrada para las dos noches es gratis. Habrá venta de refrigerios.

Santurce Section of San Juan Aspires to Be an Arts Mecca

Humberto Trias for The New York Times

La Respuesta is a bar in Santurce that has an offbeat style and 
holds art exhibitions and shows by local indie bands.

ON a recent Friday night, the streets of Santurce in San Juan, P.R., were filled with a parade of 20-somethings wearing thick-rimmed reading glasses, retro high-tops and limited-edition T-shirts. This style-conscious young crowd — drawn by a cultural festival — has become an increasingly common sight in this sleepy, mostly working-class neighborhood that in recent decades fell into disrepair.

Just a 15-minute drive from the central, touristy areas like Old San Juan, Condado or Isla Verde, Santurce is still dotted with dilapidated low-rise buildings that sit next to modest shops and unhip old-school bars. But thanks to the abundance of affordable real estate and gritty charms, in recent years it began attracting exhibition spaces, music halls and design studios. These creative new residents are bestowing freshness on the neighborhood, which is beginning to rival Old San Juan as an arts district.

The emerging cultural scene was on full display late last year as part of Santurce es Ley, a cultural festival that local gallery owners and artists put on every few months. A few steps from the graffiti-sprayed empty lot cum alternative-rock stage that was the center of the action was C787 Studios (Calle Cerra 734; c787studios.com). The space, dedicated to experimental design, had covered its walls with quirky T-shirts created by 17 artists from around the world. It was one of seven galleries that remained open well past midnight during the festival.

“Santurce is an ideal place for creativity,” said Angel Alexis Bousquet, a founder of the festival and director of C787 Studios, which opened in late 2009. “We want to establish it as Puerto Rico’s art and design district.”

Some of these art spaces have an offbeat style that’s more Lower East Side than Latin Caribbean. La Respuesta (1600 Avenida Fernandez Juncos; larespuestapr.com) is a bar decorated with music posters and stuffed superheroes that holds art exhibitions and shows by local indie bands like Campo-Formio, Tach.dé or Fantasmes, a psychedelic-rock quartet recently featured in NPR’s “Second Stage” program.

Other ventures are more upscale, though no less creative. Espacio 1414 (1414 Avenida Fernandez Juncos; 787-725-3899; espacio1414.org) showcases the private collection of the Cuba-born couple Diana and Moisés Berezdivin, avid art collectors who have significantly contributed to the island’s visual arts. Housed in a spare three-level former warehouse, the collection includes thought-provoking works by emerging and well-known contemporary artists, including the Argentine Guillermo Kuitca, whose poetic paintings are shown at the Tate Modern in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Colombian artist Carolina Caycedo, a participant in the 2006 Whitney Biennial who is known for her socially charged installations.

The first significant entrant into Santurce’s growing art scene was Petrus (726 Calle Hoare; 787-289-0505; petrusgallery.com), which has been at the forefront of contemporary Puerto Rican art since 2003. A distinctive sculpture by Carmen Inés Blondet — large steel spikes coming out of the ground — marks the entrance to its modern, white building. The owner, Sylvia Villafañe, said she chose the neighborhood because Old San Juan, which used to be the city’s art mecca, was becoming too expensive and constricted. “I love it that Santurce is more active now,” she said. “It’s great to see young artists arrive.”
