Namaste.
It is not speech which we should want to know: we should know the speaker.

Sleepless Night November 3 2007
Spectacular Line-up for Sleepless Night
World-class Art, Culture and Entertainment Planned Citywide in One Night
“Levity II” Luminarium (Zone 2)
Set your clocks now to fall back and culture forward because Sleepless Night will be in Miami Beach in the blink of an eye. From dance performances and sculpture gardens to live bands and street parades, the free, innovative cultural affair will awaken at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 3, and will not rest until sunrise at 6:00 a.m. the next day. That will actually be 13 hours – not 12 – due to the end of Daylight Savings Time when the clocks will be set back to 1:00 a.m. at 2:00 a.m., resulting in an extra hour.
This innovative citywide showcase of culture first began internationally when Paris hosted the first Nuit Blanche event in 2002. The success of the event in Paris has made it an annual city celebration and has become an international trend, spreading to cities such as Rome, Madrid, Brussels, Toronto, and now, for the first time in the United States in Miami Beach – a city known as a global trend-setting destination.
Sleepless Night is a collaboration of all the city’s major cultural institutions, theaters, galleries and arts organizations, along with hotels, shops, nightclubs, restaurants, and individual artists and presenters. Every medium of cultural expression will be represented simultaneously during Sleepless Night – all presented without admission charge.
The following zones represent where events will be held throughout the night:
Zone 1: North Beach
Normandy Fountain, North Beach Band Shell, North Shore Park and the Byron Carlyle Theater.
From dance performances at the fountain to a giant rainbow, the northern gates of Miami Beach will be beating with theatrical “Aromas” and world rhythms.
Zone 2: Collins Park
Collins Park, Rotunda, Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beach Library, Miami City Ballet Studios, and the beach.
From the park to the beach, the cultural campus will surround itself with lifting and animated premiere performances. Enjoy a sneak preview of the Florida premiere of Spiegel’s internationally recognized tantalizing provocateurs and get into high fashion, high energy with the Miami Modern Luxury fashion show.
ArtCenter / South Florida (Zone 3)
Anglers Resort Hotel, hosting
The Miami Jazz Project (Zone 4)
Zone 3: Lincoln Road
Recognized as one of the hottest shopping and dining destinations in the country, Lincoln Road is also known as a cultural center of South Florida. Sleepless Night brings to you performances from the New World Symphony and multi-platinum Grammy Award-winning producer/composer/songwriter Rudy Perez with special guests to take over Miami Beach. Stroll the infamous Española Way to see live performance enhancements of silent firm classics by the Miami Beach Film Society and Cinematheque, or enjoy some of South Florida’s finest exhibits at ArtCenter / South Florida.
Zone 4: Ocean Drive & Washington Ave
Wolfsonian-FIU, Jewish Museum, World Erotic Art Museum, Lummus Park, Ocean Drive and the beach.
In the heart of the Art Deco District, the innovative and fashion-forward couture from world-renowned designer Barbara Hulanicki will walk the runway throughout the night while the creatures of the night come alive with a grand procession of giant specimens and live music. Sleepless Night will awake the new day here with a performance that will not be forgotten. Click for expanded coverage

Colony Sleepless Night November 3 2007
On November 3, 2007, the City of Miami Beach is presenting its own version of Sleepless Night, an all night event of dance, music, theater, film etc. previously launched in Paris, Madrid, Rome, Brussels, Riga, Toronto and Montreal.
I was invited to contribute a film program for this event so I present to you an "all nighter" celebrating romance in film at the historic
Colony Theater on Miami Beach. When was the last time you got to see Casablanca on the big screen? Program details are below. Have fun!
In addition to the film program, two video installations made by local and talented artists specifically for this event will be projected on the exterior of the Colony the entire night. One of the installations is shot on 16mm and the other is interactive, covering two very different exploratory film and video formats.
Please check out their website for ALL INFORMATION. www.sleeplessnight.org
Thank you and have a fantastic night,

"Classics at the Colony Theater"
10:pm Casablanca (1942) is an Oscar-winning romance film set in the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Casablanca. The film was directed by Michael Curtiz and stars Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine and Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa Lund. It focuses on Rick's conflict between, in the words of one character, love and virtue: he must choose between his love for Ilsa and doing the right thing, helping her and her Resistance leader husband escape from Casablanca to continue his fight against the Nazis.
Running Time: 102 minutes
11:45pm Annie Hall (1977) is an Academy Award-winning, romantic comedy film directed by Woody Allen from a script he co-wrote with Marshall Brickman. It is one of Allen's most popular films: it won numerous awards at the time of its release, and in 2002 Roger Ebert referred to it as "just about everyone's favorite Woody Allen movie"[1]. Allen had previously been known as a maker of zany comedies; the director has described Annie Hall as "a major turning point",[2] as it brought a new level of seriousness to his work, in addition to consolidating his signature cinematic style, which includes long, realistically-written scenes of conversation, often shot in uninterrupted takes, and an equal thematic investment in both hilarity and heartbreak.
Running Time: 93 minutes
2:30am Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) is an Academy Award-winning American romance film by director Michel Gondry. The film uses a science fiction element to explore the nature of memory and love. It is directed by Michel Gondry, who worked on the story with Charlie Kaufman and Pierre Bismuth, a French performance artist. Kaufman and Bismuth won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2005. The film stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. The movie's title is taken from the poem Eloisa to Abelard by Alexander Pope which was the story of a tragic love affair.
Running Time: 103 minutes
Installations on the exterior of The Colony Theater:
Artists: Clifton Childree and Nikki Rollason
This installation titled "Nighty Night" is an original work for Sleepless in Miami is a two side-by-side projections in 16mm of a man and a woman each in their own bed. The images together will create a room with two beds. The films will be looped insomnia sagas to be projected on the side of a building. Combining dance and stop-motion animation, we will explore that dreamy state between awake and asleep. With overhead views of the beds and superimposed close ups on the periphery, the visual relationship will be different with each viewing and new meaning will be created.
Artist: Ivan Ma tinez
The project entitled "My Generation's Legacy, Anxiety and Complacency", consists of digital projections transmitting live and pre-designed content. As the title suggest, the piece will create a visual survey between the two mind-sets shaped as a result of our current era. Participating viewers on the street will play an integral role to the art's progression and atmosphere. There will constantly be two main images battling for attention, the "anxiety" and the "complacent". The software being used allows for the artist to become an interactive DJ, mixing and intertwining videos. At different moments by walking across the camera's sight, the viewer will be able to control environmental elements surrounding the main images.

It is one of Allen's most popular films: it won numerous awards at the time of its release, and in 2002 Roger Ebert referred to it as "just about everyone's favorite Woody Allen movie"[1]. Allen had previously been known as a maker of zany comedies; the director has described Annie Hall as "a major turning point",[2] as it brought a new level of seriousness to his work, in addition to consolidating his signature cinematic style, which includes long, realistically-written scenes of conversation, often shot in uninterrupted takes, and an equal thematic investment in both hilarity and heartbreak.
Running Time: 93 minutes

Kaufman and Bismuth won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay in 2005. The film stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. The movie's title is taken from the poem Eloisa to Abelard by Alexander Pope which was the story of a tragic love affair.

Installations on the exterior of The Colony Theater:
Artists: Clifton Childree and Nikki Rollason
This installation titled "Nighty Night" is an original work for Sleepless in Miami is a two side-by-side projections in 16mm of a man and a woman each in their own bed. The images together will create a room with two beds. The films will be looped insomnia sagas to be projected on the side of a building. Combining dance and stop-motion animation, we will explore that dreamy state between awake and asleep. With overhead views of the beds and superimposed close ups on the periphery, the visual relationship will be different with each viewing and new meaning will be created.
Artist: Ivan Ma tinez
The project entitled "My Generation's Legacy, Anxiety and Complacency", consists of digital projections transmitting live and pre-designed content. As the title suggest, the piece will create a visual survey between the two mind-sets shaped as a result of our current era. Participating viewers on the street will play an integral role to the art's progression and atmosphere. There will constantly be two main images battling for attention, the "anxiety" and the "complacent". The software being used allows for the artist to become an interactive DJ, mixing and intertwining videos. At different moments by walking across the camera's sight, the viewer will be able to control environmental elements surrounding the main images.

Artist Opening and Reception
Friday
October 26 from 7 to 10 p.m.
See the new work of native Floridian Jill Hotchkiss at ArtCenter/South Florida, on view through November 8. Her series of progressive observational drawings and prints serve as blueprints for 3-dimensional works in the form of sculpture and installation. Using living air plants, as well as moss, soil, clay and running water, Hotchkiss creates an art form that is both living and inert. Installations appear frozen but closer inspection exposes a work of art that is organic, alive and evolving. Her goal is to call attention to the importance of the plant world to the viewer. Meet the artist at the reception.
