Gael Garcia Bernal and Survival
In the above photo, Gael Garcia Bernal, the star of Y tu mama tambien and Amores perros, models the new T-shirt designed by John Rocha to mark the 40th anniversary of the human rights organization Survival International.
As per the Survival website, the design was inspired by Rocha’s collection of tribal masks.
On its website, Survival is described as "a human rights organisation that helps tribal peoples defend their lives, protect their lands and determine their own futures. It was founded 40 years ago, following an article by Norman Lewis in the Sunday Times Magazine about the genocide of Brazilian Indians."
The commemorative Survival T-shirt is available exclusively from Survival’s Christmas catalogue.

Sundance 2009 Buzz
Peter Travers in Rolling Stones:
"It begins again. Here I am in Park Cty [sic], Utah, where Robert Redford’s Sundance Film Festival celebrates its 25th anniversary by trying to bust through the gloom of a nation’s economic crisis and the growing pissy impatience among audiences for any movies that don’t have cute dogs or horror scenes in 3D. What does that mean for indie films of mind and heart? That’s yet to be determined."
Travers follows his introduction with the five movies he’s most eager to watch: Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, Tyson, Paper Heart, I Love You Phillip Morris (above, with Jim Carrey), and Big Fan.
