E86- Cinema Rodrigo: talking film

A conversation with Aldo Juraidini

On the cusp of the Academy Awards and the presentation of the Oscars, Short Fuse host Elizabeth Howard talks with Aldo Juraidini, design director at Studio Rodrigo, who also directs and curates films for Cinema Rodrigo, a monthly gathering of designers, readers, artists, architects, animators, musicians, graduate students, academics, and others interested in watching movies worth talking about—films that spark conversations long after the screenings. They discuss the role of AI, the popularity of intimate theater venues, the difficulty of securing funding for independent filmmaking, and the great dance scene in Sinners.

The Short Fuse Podcast  hosted by Elizabeth Howard, are conversations with artists, writers, musicians, and others who have a lens on contemporary thought and stir us to seek change. Through their art, music, performances, and singular vision they lead us through the social and environmental transformations sweeping across the globe. Gerald Kent, a musician and audio engineer based in Cape Town, South Africa, is the producer of the Short Fuse..
