The Califas Journal es un “sitio de video
independiente sobre política, cultura y justicial
social”, creado y trabajado por Sebastian Hernández”.
“The Califas Journal” logra un balance extraordinario
entre el compromiso a corrientes de política clara y
el cine hermoso que llega al corazón. Por lo común el
arte político y la elaboración de imáges que valen la
pena suelen ser trabajos aburridos.
Por el contrario, esto sí que vale la pena y de forma
formidable y emocionante. Levanta el espíritu. Trata
de la lucha, el porque luchamos y destellos del mundo
por el cual luchamos por lograr. Destellos que colman
todas las obras ensenadas en estas obras.
Aquí encontramos un logro extraordinario.

The Califas Journal is an “independent video digest
of politics, culture and social justice” run by filmmaker
Sebastian Hernandez.
It achieves a remarkable balance between a
commitment to clear political aims & heartbreakingly
beautiful filmmaking.
So often political art or image making is worthy but dull.
This is worthy, to be sure, but anything but dull.
It lifts the spirit.The struggle, why we struggle & a glimpse
of the world we struggle to make are somehow melded
together in these pieces.
It is an extraordinary achievement.
