DTLA COCKTAIL OF THE WEEK: BAR MATEO by Ryan Kazemaini

BAR MATEO

VOL 10 NO 11 - OCT 18TH - OCT 24TH 2018

Hip Downtown Arts District neighborhood Bar Mateo featuring...

dtla cocktail of the WEEK: THE LOCAL

f the bustling streets of the Downtown LA concrete jungle leave you looking for a little tranquility, a vis- All of these beverages pair well with Bar Mait to a craft cocktail bar within a barn teo’s Bar Bites which include Zinc French Fries, double fried fries tossed with thyme. Desserts such as Affogato, Tirafrom 1914 might just do the trick.

ar Mateo is located at Zinc Cafe & Market. Since May 2014, Zinc Cafe & Market has been serving guests breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner from their open kitchen to their olive-tree-lined courtyard. In addition, prepared foods at the marketplace such as salads, entrees, appetizers and desserts ensure that the Zinc experience can be continued from the comforts of home. Bar Mateo brings craft cocktails to the location. Featuring an endearing atmosphere with a zinc-topped bar and a open-air patio, this mixology lounge will help you find a little peace in the city. The menu at Bar Mateo features a diverse selection of beer, wine, cocktails, and bar bites, as well as delicious desserts. On the draught side of things, the menu features everything from tangy Tin City Polly Dolly rose cider to the rich Port Mongo American IPA. Wines include sparkling, red, white, and rosé from a wide breadth of locales such as Italy, France, Napa Valley, and Santa Barbara. The stars of the show, however, are Bar Mateo’s craft cocktails. With spirits such as vodka, gin, rum, tequila, mezcal, brandy, bourbon, rye, Scotch and Amaro, you can imagine the diversity of tastes and flavors that are on offer. House cocktails include “Salty,” featuring loft & bear vodka, scotch, lemon, kimino yuzu, cholula, and salted foam, and “Sweet,” a combination of Wyoming Outryder, Alessio Chinato, fig jam, lemon, and chocolate fig. Classic cocktails such as martinis, old-fashioneds, and margaritas are also on offer. Featured libations include “Don’t Call Me Honey” a mix of wilder gin, opuntia, aloe water, cucumber juice, and honeydew juice.

misu, Panna Cotta, and Italian Almond Tea Cake are sure to end the night on a high note.

However, only one of these tasty beverages can qualify as DTLA Cocktail of the Week. Friends, that would be... “The Local,” a mix of Ventura Opuntia, Amaro Angeleno, Mixwell ginger ale, lemon adorned with a flambeed pineapple shrub, burned right before your very eyes.

Perhaps what makes Bar Mateo so unique is its collegial atmosphere.

Not too big, not too small: this olive grove hideaway is perfect for late afternoon meetups with friends and good vibes. Hidden away in the Arts District, every trip to Bar Mateo is a little escape. Sitting amongst the vintage barn, string lights, and patio chairs it would be easy to forget you are in the middle of downtown. The combination of upbeat atmosphere, craft beverages, and fresh foods make certain that every little trip to Bar Mateo is an immensely enjoyable one.

The Local brings the snap of ginger and the tart of citris while reminding us just how much we all belong here. Bar Mateo hosts Happy Hours Monday through Friday from 4 pm to 7 pm with $9 cocktails, $5 beer, $7 wine, and a discounted bar menu. Bar Mateo is located at Zinc Cafe & Market, 580 Mateo St., Los Angeles. www.zinccafe.com

DTLA MOVIE BUFF: DTLA FILM FEST CELEBRATES 10 YEARS by DASH FINLEY

- PHOTOS COURTE

LIGHTS - CAMERA - ACTION!

dtla film festival celebrates 10 years

ver the course of the decade, the festival has grown alongside the neighborhood it calls home, all in an effort to shine a light on the burgeoning independent film community downtown. Festival organizer Greg Ptacek is candid about the ups and downs of the area, stating:

“

We feel we’ve grown up

alongside downtown. It was the ‘first boom’ when we started in 2008, so we had no problem attracting sponsors, because all the developers were creating new projects. Two years later, all those developers were literally bankrupt… our main patrons had disappeared, but we found smaller businesses to sponsor us and keep the event alive. And now we’re here in 2018, in the midst of the second renaissance.”

ednesday, October 17th, marked the start of the Tenth Annual Downtown LA Film Festival, which has screened well over one thousand films and held upwards of two hundred events since its inception in 2008. Downtown Weekly sat down with the festival founder, Greg Ptacek, to find out how much the festival has grown over the past decade. Indeed, as an original organizer of the festival, Ptacek is well suited to handle seismic change. Back in the year 2000, the organization initially began its life as the Silver Lake Film Festival, the very first fest of its ilk established on LA’s nascent “east side”. However, after eight years, Ptacek and co. “decided to rebrand…(we) were running out of screening room as there were only two theaters in Silver Lake and Los Feliz. We had been programming for years in downtown as a ‘backyard’ for our festival, so it was an easy decision to make… downtown was

the place to go.”

Fast forward to 2018, and the DTLA Film Festival is set to make its biggest splash yet with an all-star line-up of content, including thirty narrative and documentary feature-length films, as well as seventy-seven short films, TV pilots, and web-series episodes. What’s more, this year’s festival is breaking ground for inclusivity by allotting a whopping sixty-five percent of its feature selections to films helmed by women directors.

“It’s a new benchmark for L.A.,” states Ptacek.

“

We couldn’t just ignore the 800-pound gorilla in the room. After the conclusion of the ninth annual festival…here comes what later became the Me Too and Times’ Up movements. It was obvious to us that we had to address that…and advance the cause of groups normally ignored by Hollywood— specifically women, but also women of color.”

ESY: DTLAFILMFEST

And that’s precisely what this year’s festival will aim to do

over the course of five days’ worth of programming. Ptacek offered effusive praise to programming director Karolyne Sosa for her choices and drew particular attention to the films top-lining the the opening night, centerpiece, and closing night. “For opening night, (we chose) Waterlily Jaguar,” recalls Ptacek.

VOL 10 NO 11 - OCT 18TH - OCT 24TH 2018/ DTLA-WEEKLY.COM

“We selected it because of the women-centric theme,” says Ptacek.

“Angela Basset plays an investment banker in San Francisco, and the whole theme is how women…can (balance) a personal life and a career… it was perhaps one of the first “A new film by Melora Walters, major studio releases featuran established actress who’s ing a woman of color in a connow embarking on a directing temporary film. In one sense career.” it’s kind of proto-Time’s-Up.” The movie centers on Bob (James LeGros), a famous novelist best known for pop potboilers, who attempts to write a more serious book, only to fall into a rabbit-hole of obsession that threatens his marriage and his sanity.

“The female lead is Mira Sorvino,” says Ptacek. “ (She) has been one of the public faces this last year of the Me Too movement.” Similarly, the festival’s centerpiece selection, Holy Lands, also features one of that movement’s most prominent voices in the form of the great Rosanna Arquette, who stars alongside James Caan in director Amanda Sthers’ tale of an estranged Jewish man who moves to Israel and, thumbing his nose at religious convention, decides to open a pig farm— much to the horror of his neighbors. Arquette, who plays Caan’s ex-wife, will also be a recipient of the festival’s Independent Film Pioneer award, offered to performers who have “advanced American

cinema through their body of work.”

Finally, closing night will be marked by a retrospective showing of the classic 1998 film How Stella Got

Her Groove Back.

The Hotel Figueroa will also play

host to a daily happy hour mixer networking event— otherwise known as a “party with a purpose— as well as seminars and panel discussions, in addition to their groundbreaking Alternate Reality/Virtual Reality program. Curated by Justin Poliski, this program will include conventional VR programs, as well as an AR selection called Portal of The Ages, which involves “putting on a clear headset as you move through a space in the grand ballroom at Hotel Figueroa. There are these giant paintings that are angels of the apocalypse and as you look through the headset, they…come alive in front of you.”

Additionally, the program will feature Skybound Entertainment’s Delusions, a “hyper-reality

program which…(allows) you to put the headset on and interact with the experience, including actors and…real objects, occupying a private secluded bar overlooking the main lobby.”

In addition, legendary actor Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, Caligula) will also be honored with the IFP award, and will see his latest feature— the dystopian sci-fi thriller Culture of Fear — screened as part the festival. But the movies themselves are only part of the full DTLA film festival experience. Adjacent to the Regal L.A. LIVE complex where the films will screen sits the historic Figueroa Hotel, which will serve as a base of operations for the festival. “One of the reasons we chose the hotel is because it was established in 1922 by a woman entrepreneur for other women….so it’s in keeping with the theme of women’s empowerment.”

Finally, the festival will also see the world premiere of Spare Change, a short VR documentary by Danny Oceans, which is “a director’s experience encamping with the homeless on Skid Row… it will have its world premiere party near Skid Row on Thursday (October 18th). The public is invited to the party to experience the VR production.”

So, if you’re looking for a progressive film lover’s paradise with a state-of-the-art twist,

be sure to check out the DTLA LA Film Festival, which will run from Wednesday, October 17th to Sunday, October 21st, 2018 at Regal L.A. LIVE, Hotel Figueroa, and venues throughout downtown Los Angeles. Check out their website for more information: www.dtlaff.com
