Cannes Critics' Week honors 'Left-Handed Girl' Director Tsou Shih-ching's "Left-Handed Girl" has won the Gan Foundation Award for Distribution at the Cannes Critics' Week. The award is intended to support the French release of a first or second feature film by a new director. Speaking in Cannes after receiving the award, Tsou said the film drew on her many memories from Taiwan, including tense relationships in a traditional family and quiet everyday acts of resistance (反抗) that often went unnoticed. EU Leaders Urge Reinterpretation of Human Rights Convention Leaders of 9 European Union countries say they want a reinterpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights in order to better tackle (對付,處理) irregular migration to the continent and effectively increase deportations. The open letter signed by the leaders of Italy, Denmark, Lithuania Poland and others was made public in Rome late Thursday. It argues that some of the European Court of Human Rights interpretations have limited national governments' ability to expel a minority of migrants who commit crimes. The European Court of Human Rights handles complaints against the 46-member states of the Council of Europe, under the European Convention on Human Rights, including many cases involving migrants and asylum-seekers. UK Chagos Handover to Mauritius The UK will hand over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to the country of Mauritius.

Panama Venezuela Resume Commercial Flights The Panamanian Civil Aviation Authority says that Panama and Venezuela will resume commercial flights nearly a year after suspending them when they broke off diplomatic relations. Venezuela pulled its diplomatic representation from Panama last July after Panama President Jose Raul Mulino refused to recognize (承認) Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro's reelection. Earlier Thursday, Mulino said during his weekly news briefing that he had received a letter from Venezuela, but that he hadn't immediately read it. Mulino did say, however, that it would be in Panama's interest to resume flights, though he said he also wanted Venezuela to agree to receive Venezuelan migrants deported from Panama.

En deuda con unos violentos prestamistas, Ming tiene hasta el final del día para pagar como mínimo 800 dólares. Unos familiares le prestan 500, pero el resto tiene que conseguirlo con las propinas que gana como repartidos de pedidos de un minúsculo restaurante chino de Manhattan. Mientras, en la calle, llueve sin parar. Filmada con cámara digital, en un local verdadero y con actores naturales que hablan mandarín el 90% del metraje, Take Out se ha vuelto una cápsula del tiempo de un Nueva York post 11 de septiembre: un espacio frenético y vital, donde la precaria vida de los inmigrantes aún deja espacio para cierta vida comunitaria captada por la fragmentaria mirada de los jóvenes Sean Baker y Shih-Ching Tsou. Ambos continuarían su exploración en los años siguientes, pero allá por 2004 es difícil imaginar una mejor carta de presentación que éste, su primer esfuerzo en conjunto. De eso y más se habla en este podcast.
