Today kicks off UNM’s weekendlong screenings of the international Manhattan Short Film Festival. What began as a projection of homemade short films on the side of a truck in New York to a crowd of about 300 passers-by 15 years ago has blown up into a call for filmmakers and audience members on a global scale.

Poverty play is poor in pacing

The question to ask, when presented with a story and its characters, laughter, tragedies and success becomes, “Do you believe?” If you have to ask that question time and time again throughout a single play, you might have a problem. The Vortex’s newest production of Sam Shepard’s play “Curse of the Starving Class” comprises many moments, both good and bad.

Zimmerman @ 75

The year is 1938 and several students sit at tables, studying intently. The room is pleasantly quiet; the only sound is the turning of pages and the rustling of books. Construction can be heard throughout the building as the finishing touches are put on the new Zimmerman Library.

Quelab fosters creativity

For students who want to learn how to assemble a fully-working robot, find a place to restage their failed ninth-grade science projects, play a restored 1980s Asteroids game — or anything in between, Quelab is the place to be.

Kabob restaurant sticks it

The mix of New Mexican and Iranian décor in and around the Kabab House, and the grilled green chile served with all entrée plates makes perfect sense to Farid Veryiyani, owner of the Kabab House.

REVIEW: Play's charm is no 'Illuision'

A sign of a good script is when it is not immediately obvious which character will be the most interesting to play. “Romeo and Juliet” is easy. Mercutio has the best lines, the best death. The Nurse in drag can be fun too, if you’re willing.

Sex line aims to provide support

For employees of local phone sex company People Exchanging Power (PEP), the word “hello” takes on a different meaning.

It is a safe haven for men and women of all orientations and gender preferences to call just to talk
