...people to do this thing...we had no idea what we were doing and it came out pretty well." This past summer, he made "Monica," which he sent to several film festivals. Four films after his first attempt, "Silent Blessings" is Buso-Garcia's first project all on 15 mm film. "Ever since I came to Harvard I wanted to make a bigger film here. I thought, why can't we do on film what HRDC [Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club] does on the Loeb Mainstage or the Pudding. I thought a lot of people were interested in film and didn...

The shell slammed into a table crowded with shoppers and exploded with a concussive whump that echoed off the buildings surrounding the square. The force of the explosion twisted tables, shattered glass and ripped the canvas used to cover stalls...
...their Sarajevo apartment building to play. It seemed safe enough; the Serb artillery batteries lining the hilltops around the city had been quiet for several days. Besides, the children were inside a U.N.-declared safe zone. As the Muslim boys and girls shouted and rode their sled, 120-mm mortar shells landed with a roar. The children dropped to the ground and then, when more explosions followed, ran for the beckoning safety of their building. Inside, fearful families rushed to the windows. As they watched, a shell exploded just behind the running children. The fresh snow instantly turned...
