They didnt hang out; they didntstay. They never do because they dont doturkey and theyre too big to fit aroundmy dining-room table.You see, they're whales. My whales. Yourwhales. Our whales.But their holiday rush is a bit differentthan ours each winter. These are seriouswhales on a mission: they are trying tokeep a species alive. To do that, they haveto get home by DecemberJanuary atthe latestand home has always beenMexico. You see, despite their name, myfriends are Baja born and Baja bred.Sure,wecallthemCaliforniagrays(uppity Americans that we are), but theyonly pass by California twice a year ontheir incredible 12,000 mile journey toand from the Arctic to Baja Sur's safelagoons.They'rereallyNortheasternPacificgraywhalesthelastoftheirkind. All their cousins are now extinct:The great Siberian and Atlantic grays thatonceroamedothercoastsandothercontinents are gone.

Wealmostdidittoourowngrays,too,slaughteringtheirmightythousandsdown to a mere 500 before someone gotsomesense,thankGod,andrealized we didn't need a marine-mammal Alpoafter all.Along came a protection act at last, anendangered species list and a chance forthem to continue life on this planet. Anda chance for me, 60 years later, to meetthese majestic creatures face to face andto make friends.It is not a word I use lightlyfriends.Friends are people I kiss and hug andcare about. But I've kissed these whales,hanging over the sides of small woodenboats. I've held their faces between myhands, gently stroked their lips, touchedthe cruel barnacles that cover their headsand looked straight down blowholes intotheir dark interiors. I've watched themmate, watched them nurse their babies,watched them nudge two-ton youngsterstoward my outstretched hand and teach anew generation not to now fear manorwoman. Yes, I care about these whalesa lot. But, I've been lucky.HomewardBoundStory by Paula McDonaldA curious young gray whale basks in the warmlagoon water before its arduous migration north.Photo: Jose Luis ZuigaPhoto: Paula McDonaldGuardi anAngel I sl andADi amondi ntheRoughStory and photos by Graham MackintoshIn 1973 Charles Lindbergh visited BajaCalifornia in a chartered flying boat.ShortlyafterwardshetraveledtoMexico City, met with the cabinet andsummoned the Mexican media to a pressconference.Naturally,theywereallexpecting a homily on aviation. Instead,Lindberghlecturedthempassionatelyabout the Sea of Cortez and the need topreserve its magnificent islands. A fewmonthslaterCharlesLindberghdiedbut his enthusiastic plea for theSea of Cortez had not fallen on deaf ears.Within four years, Mexico passed lawsprotecting the islands that had fired hisimagination in the twilight of his life.There are more than 100 islands in theSea of Cortezsome mere islets, thelargest, Tiburon, ranging over 1000 sq.kilometers.Mostofthemremainuninhabited, pristine biological treasuresrepletewithunnamedandendemicspecies. About half of the 120 cactusspecies found on the islands are endemic.Non-native plants are a rarity. In July of2005, the United Nations proclaimed theislands and their surrounding waters as aWorld Heritage Site.Isla Angel de la Guarda is the secondlargest island in the Cortez. Forty mileslong and almost ten miles wide in places,itistheunmistakablemountainouslandmass located a dozen miles east ofBahia de los Angeles, beyond the islandsof the inner bay. Devoid of water andseparated from the Baja peninsula by thetreacherousCanaldelasBallenas,itremains uninhabited apart from a fewtemporary fish camps.Ihadtheprivilegeofspendingtwomonths there early last year. I arranged tobe transported to the island by panga,together with my gear and kayak.ThenameGuardianAngelIslandsuggestsprotection.However,inthewinter months prevailing northerly windsoften blast for days unimpeded down theBallenas Channel creating awesome seas.And when the extreme tides of a full ornew moon join or thwart that flow, theseas can be as confused and agitated asany on earth.Whetherfishingorbirdwatchingortrying to find a cooperative chuckwalla tophotograph, I reveled in the privilege ofbeing on an uninhabited desert island,and most days, as far as I knew, I was theonly one there to appreciate it.Giventhespectacularshorelineandmountain backdrops, and the dramaticfire of sunrise and twilight, it was easy totakegoodphotographs,buttheycanbarely convey the panoramic vistas ofpastel color, the unreal solidity of theclouded sky, and the glorious thoughtsand feelings they impart.How often have we heard that the oldBaja is no more?

Crazy, I know. We struggled withthe fact that our 10th anniversary would fall during one of the worst recessions in recent U.S. history. The natural response would be to cut-back.Instead,we tookarisk anddoubledthelength ofourFestival to two weeks. Despite the economy, we have more loyal members and attendeesthaneverbefore,assuringusthatweareindeedfulllingour mission: to connect audiences with the human experience through the Pan Asian media arts. We believe lmis a powerful universal language that connects us on adeep, meaningful level. In times like this, lm offers an escape; storiesof hope and inspiration; and a way to gain new perspectives. ThatiswhywechosetoopenourFestivalwithCHILDRENOF INVENTION(p.36), whichcouldnotbe more relevant to our economic times. A critically-acclaimed Sundance lm directedby emerginglmmakerTzeChun,CHILDREN OF INVENTIONtellsthe storyof asingle motherchasing the American dream while in direnancial straits. When she disappears, her two young children turn to ingenuity to survive. Bookending the Festival as our Closing Night Film is the premiere of IP MAN (p. 37), an epic martial arts tale inspired bythe true story of Bruce Lees master, starring Donny Yen.In between is an enormous selection of lms,panels,parties,live musicperformances,acomedynight,agalaawardsdinner,anart show, and our rst-ever Audience Award!Sorelymissingthisyear,however,isourbelovedfriend,GeorgeLin, whodiedofcancerduringlastyearsFestival.HefoundedtheDC APA Film Festival in 2000, the same year our festival began.

As chairman, I am proud to help the SDAFF celebrate ten wonderful years of lms, programs and social awareness. Through the years, SDAFF has shown hundreds of lms to moviegoers across San Diego and has truly fullled its purpose of engaging and connecting audiences to the human experience through cinema.My passion for movies sparked my initial interest in SDAFF in 2002. Since then, I have come to the festival every year to enjoy lms, festivities, and meet great people. Im inspired by the many attendees who share our passion, as well as the amount of hard work and dedication the staff puts into each and every event. It wasnt long before I knew that I wanted to do something morefor this organization. Initially, I became involved as a board member and was nominated and elected chairman in 2007. It istrulyanhonorto be workingwith suchagreatgroupoftalented individuals,andIhopethat in the next ten years our Foundations work will continue to touch audiences as it has me. Aspecialthankstothe2009BoardofDirectorsfortheircontinuedsupport,volunteerismandleadership.Ipersonallywish incoming chairman Stephen Chin a successful 2010, and I also want to recognize my dear friend and executive director Lee Ann Kim, who has grown this festival since its inception. We all embrace the SDAFF for providing our community with a true cultural treasure.Enjoy the show!Dan HomChairmanSan Diego Asian Film FoundationOurfriendsattheSanDiegoFilmCriticsSocietybelieveanyonecanwatchlmswith acriticaleye.Thisallowsyoutoexercise analytical parts of the brain that often go unused, and acquire skills that can carry over into other parts of your life.Here are some tips: If you liked or didnt like a movie, gure out why. Its crucial to understand your own aesthetic and to be able to express why some lms or lmmakers appeal to you and others leave you cold. Pay close attention to what goes into making the story. Does the dialogue seem honest and believable, and do the actors carry it off? Is the plot solid, or does it have as many holes as a piece of Swiss cheese? Do you think the director had a cohesive vision for the entire movie, and if so, can you express what you think it was? Do you feel like the movie is photographed well? Does the cinematography enhance or distract from the story itself? What about the costumes or the sets? Try a movie you think you might not like. Catch a horror lm, sample a romantic comedy, dont be afraid of subtitles, and watch something that has no movie stars in it. A good critic has to be open to everything. The San Diego Film Critics Society is a nonprot organization dedicated to providing diverse critical opinion about movies,advancing lm education and awareness, and recognizing excellence in cinema. www.sdfcs.org.
