Donald Trump has funneled life-blood into a fervent new protest art movement. Artists and photographers are speaking out against Trump’s offensive comments and incendiary policies with paintbrushes, cameras, and even bodily fluids. From Led signs, to paintings made with human blood, here are ten thought-provoking pieces of protest art that have emerged since Trump announced his candidacy for president. Portland-based artist Sarah Levy painted this portrait with her own menstrual blood. The piece, titled “Whatever,” is a response to Trump’s comment that Fox News host Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out of her wherever.” Also Read: Kathy Griffin...

“Nashville” came to Cmt in the most Hollywood way possible — though from 2,000 miles away. The deal for an eventual 22-episode order was negotiated by network counsel Seth Levin, Viacom Kids and Family COO Sarah Levy, and Cmt President Brian Philips while partying at a Bell Tower-based Cmt Awards after-party in Nashville at 11 o’clock at night. Sober or not (we didn’t ask), it was an opportunity that Philips and co. were well-prepared for — and exactly the one the network needed. “Every year, someone would muse about it becoming available and we’d watch and — finally it came our way,...

PARK CITY -- At their best, independent films have the power to make foreign cultures seem not so distant. So Yong Kim's look at Korean teen-agers growing up in the U.S. presents a unique and specific experience, but at the same time it's not so different from that of other kids. A satisfying and skillful piece of filmmaking, "In Between Days" is a natural for cable outlets after making the rounds on the festival circuit.
Based on her own experience moving to Los Angeles at age 12, Kim has created a documentarylike reality of a young Korean girl's dislocation. A first-generation immigrant, Aimie (Jiseon Kim) not only has to adjust to the teenage angst of dating and sex but also absorb a culture she doesn't really understand. Although Aimie is inarticulate in either language, the director manages with intense close-ups and painterly composition to get under her skin to her inner feelings.
Aimie lives alone with her mother (Bokja Kim) in a low-income housing project in a frozen Northeastern city (the film was shot in Toronto). Every morning as she traipses off to school, she hears the ice and snow crunching under her feet. She's an indifferent student, spending most of her time doodling in class and only comes alive when a classmate, Tran (Taegu Andy Kang), starts showing some interest in her.
He's also first-generation, and together they listlessly wander around, staring in store windows at luxury products they can't afford. Their bond is their isolation, and together they have a few moments of relief -- smoking, playing video games and light kissing. Their most intimate moment is when Aimie gives him a homemade Korean tattoo, which symbolically becomes infected.
But Tran has his eye on Michelle (Gina Kim), a prettier and more assimilated girl. When Aimie's heart is broken, she has no one to turn to. She barely talks to her mother and holds her responsible for her father leaving them. She communicates only in the dreamy letters home that she composes to her father, asking about relatives and whether he will come and visit.
The one time Aimie's sense of loss and longing pours out and she raises her voice is to sing along with a Korean pop song in a music video. It's a remarkable performance from Kim, especially because she had never acted before. The whole trajectory of the film is played out in her eyes as her moon-shaped face fills the frame. Kang, also a newcomer, is equally impressive, capturing the sullen disappointment of his character. Perhaps they identify with these characters.
Production, shot on a Panasonic minicamera, is a bit of a mom-and-pop operation. The director's husband, Bradley Rust Gray, produced and co-wrote the screenplay. Sarah Levy's camerawork is perfectly expressive, suggesting a kind of Korean neo-realism. Helmer Kim chose not to use a music soundtrack to emphasize the silence of the characters, but her expert sound design gives the film an added dimension in creating their environment.
"In Between Days" beautifully and impressively demonstrates what filmmakers with more vision than money can accomplish.
