    I just learned the sad news from his family, that pioneering Chicano
experimental filmmaker Willie Varela passed away on Saturday, February
24th. Willie made a large body of Super 8mm and digital work over a span of
more than fifty years, and he had a deeply passionate, total dedication to
the field.
His work ranged from subtle portraits of his family life, reflections on
his home town and dark narrative visions of contemporary culture.
     Willie lived in El Paso, Texas, for most of his life, and was rarely
able to travel, but he shared his work on many occasions in several cities
of the country.
     Those of us who knew him will miss him greatly.
     With best wishes to you all, Steve Anker
