Vou para casa I'm Going Home (Portugal/France, 2001). During the lunch-interview Hugo spoke about his background, film culture in Paraguay and his cinephile tastes. -NK Noel King novel that persuaded you to try to make a career in film. Hugo Gamarra : My passion for film started with my grandfather (I was raised by my grandfather and grandmother) who was an obsessive filmgoer and who would carry me with him to the movies, when I was very little, where I would eventually fall asleep. He took me to the movies for the first time when I was one year old! Thanks to my grandfather I also learned as a child to enjoy comics and later read my first books: novels by Jules Verne, Paul Feval and Victor Hugo. I use my second last name as my surname in memory of him. Son of Man (Monthly Review Press, 1988). And somehow reading that book gave me the certainty that I could be a filmmaker. The book tells Paraguayan myths through human stories that are mythical, epic and yet related to Paraguayan landscapes and Paraguayan history, specifically the Chaco War of 1932-35

What does cinema mean for Paraguay? by Hugo Gamarra Etcheverry Translated by Imogen Williams Augusto Roa Bastos in The Gate of Dreams Hugo Gamarra Etcheverry, aged 46, is a filmmaker, Director of the Asuncion International Film Festival and President of the Paraguayan Cinémathèque. This article was originally published in the Paraguayan newspaper, Diario Noticias on December 23 1995, as part of a series of articles dedicated to the 100 Years of Cinema celebrations. As the 20th century draws to a close, the first century of motion pictures, it is unthinkable that there could be countries without their own national cinemas. Just as individuals benefit from portraits or images of themselves, societies also need to have their own images projected on the screen in order to reflect on questions of identity, history and destiny; and to affirm the unique characteristics of their language, the way they are, how they express themselves and see the world. Nevertheless, for a country like ours, which is backward on all fronts, the cinema is barely given the attention of a distant spectator. Paraguay was a glaring absence in the retrospectives that marked celebrations of the first century of cinema throughout the world. It is a nation without moving images, an invisible country in an age of civilization distinguished by mass audio-visual imagery, narrative and storytelling. Paraguay and filmmaking , is the only organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of film culture in Paraguay); and finally, there has never been implemented legislation for the promotion, production, exhibition, distribution, and discussion of film.

Education Elementary education in Paraguay is free and nominally compulsory for children from 6 to 12 years of age. While the number of schools is inadequate, 93 percent of the adult population is literate. In 1997, 905,800 pupils were enrolled in primary schools and 327,800 students attended secondary, vocational, and teacher-training schools. About 42,300 students attended institutions of higher education, which included the National University of Asunción (1890) and the Catholic University of Our Lady of Asunción (1960). B. Culture Paraguayan culture is a blend chiefly of Guaranian and Spanish elements, supplemented by more recent Argentine, German, and Italian influences. The culture of Paraguay has remained isolated and therefore has retained many features introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries by the Spanish conquerors, artisans, and Jesuit missionaries. The Ateneo Paraguayo, a leading cultural center, sponsors art exhibits, lectures, and concerts, and Guaraní culture is promoted by the Academy of Guaraní Language and Culture, the Indian Association of Paraguay, and the Guaraní Theater.

45. Paraguay, A Culture Shock In general I enjoyed the 8 years I lived in paraguay. I got to learn a newlanguage and a new culture. I got to do quite a bit of travelling too. http://www.gtcreations.com/splash/travels/py.html

In November 1987 I moved to Paraguay, South America. My parents had already been there for two years. I didn't speak Spanish but quickly got hold of a phrase book and started communicating. Paraguay itself is vastly different from South Africa, where I grew up. I had to get accustomed to buying my vegetables at the market, which was a lot of rickety little tables in the open air market square. At first I lived in a large town called Caaguazú, where my father had started a sawmill and furniture factory. Most of the roads were dirt roads but downtown had some cobble and cement roads. Then after 7 months I got a job teaching English at a British institute in the capital city, Asuncion. Later on I also started teaching aerobics . It was a whole lot more modern than the town I had got used to. Asuncion has some lovely shopping malls and modern supermarkets. Shopping downtown is interesting for they close from 12 to 3 p.m. for siesta, which means they roll down large steel shutters (which makes window-shopping impossible). Transport is mainly by bus, which is dangerous but efficient as there are so many people in Paraguay who do not own a car. Driving in general is dangerous and it seems there is not much respect for life.

iWon Travel South America Paraguay Powered by HISTORY and CULTURE History Culture History Colonization also meant that Jesuit missionaries were sent to civilize the Indians. This they did with alacrity and skill. The Indians were induced to leave their lands and settle in reducciones , theocratic communes, where they helped build churches, grew deft at masonry, sculpture and painting, and sometimes gained a classical education along the way. After the expulsion of the missionaries in 1767, the settlements quietly withered as the Indians skedaddled or were employed by different masters. After the war, Paraguay's agricultural sector was resuscitated by a new wave of European and Argentine immigrants, but political instability continued. At the turn of the century, cross-border tensions arose after Bolivia occupied disputed parts of the Chaco. The prospect of vast deposits of oil in the region (which proved non-existent) catapulted the two countries into war in 1932. The Bolivian army was pushed out of most of the Chaco and a subsequent treaty awarded Paraguay three-quarters of the territory. Paraguay enjoyed increasing political stability until the 1993 election of Juan Carlos Wasmosy, a free-market zealot and former member of Stroessner's faction, whose presidency inspired a disturbing number of nationwide strikes. Wasmosy himself came under scrutiny for shady business dealings associa ted with Paraguay's massive hydroelectric projects.

Electronic Engineering Times-Asia Franchise China International IC International IC-Taipei Travel Center Country Guide: PARAGUAY Business Culture Greetings and Courtesies Business Ethic and Framework Women Business Attire GREETINGS AND COURTESIES BUSINESS ETHIC AND FRAMEWORK Paraguayans are punctiliously courteous and genuinely friendly. Respect and personal dignity lie at the core of Paraguayan business and social culture, both of which are based on correct, often strongly hierarchical, but personal relationships. To Paraguayans, work is far from the most important part of life, but they do adhere strictly to the forms that govern this nevertheless important sphere. They will not hesitate, however, to break a business appointment to help out a friend or family member, and foreigners should not be irritated by this type of disruption in plans. MEETINGS AND DECISION MAKING Prior appointments are very important, and should be made two to four weeks in advance. Paraguayans are generally punctual. Authority is rather narrowly concentrated and actual decisions are almost always made at a high level. Cultivate all relationships, however. They may strongly influence the actual decision maker even when your immediate counterpart is not the one making the decision.

Select the information you want to see. Culture Tourism Cultural Contacts Due to the intermarriage of the Guarani Indian and Spanish civilization, Paraguay is a bilingual country, with aproximately 90% of its population speaking both languages. This historical process has also resulted in a mestizo culture which blends elements both Spanish and Guarani. CRAFTS: Aho-poi: fine clothing hand woven and hand made. This linen cloth is embroidered with threads of the same color, generally white. The typical aho-poi is produced in Yataity. Aho-poi shirts, blouses, tablecloths and napkins, are in very great demand. Nanduti: Made of industrialized fine cotton thread, with combinations of many colors, though the most traditional nanduti is white. It is used for centerpieces, mantles, and other display areas where the handwork and color combinations can be best apreciated. Ceramics: Pottery is a popular craft known by the Indians, such as, for example the colombian method and finger moulding of humid clay. Today you will find the classical "cantaro" (bucket), vessels, and human figures for decoration. The clay gains natural colors through the aplication of oxides and firing techniques (red, toasted, black). GASTRONOMY: In Paraguay, cuisine has a great home tradition, giving a delicious combination of meats and river fish, with a wide variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, which you can find throughout the year. The most popular dishes are based on corn, meat, milk and cheese. The main dishes are: Chipa Guazu, Bori-Bori, So'o-yosopy, Locro, Mbeyu, Puchero, Guiso, Mandioca and the famous and popular Chipa. The local drink preferred by Paraguayans is a locally produced dark rum, an alcoholic beverage made from sugar cane; and terere, an infusion of yerba mate (ilex paraguayensis) and cold water, sometimes flavored with medicinal herbs. It is served in guampas or mates (gourd) and sipped through a Bombilla which is a kind of metal straw.
