Charles Abelmann’s documentary Call Me Waya World Premiere April 5th, 2025 NYC and Release of Shifting Paths

Published

on

Charles Abelmann’s latest release of two short documentaries, “Call Me Waya” and “Shifting Paths” illustrate the diversity of his work in crossing borders and cultures to bridge our understanding of the human experience with internal and external challenges. As a new comer to filmmaking after a long career in international development and education leadership, Abelmann’s films are being critically celebrated for their insight and impact, informed by his understanding of both child and adult development. Both his new films look at multi-generational perspectives to understand family but with totally different approaches and in different cultures. Abelmann, a Duke and Harvard alum, values the documentary form to contribute to global and historical understanding, celebrating individual narrative.

Luray, VA, United States, 2nd Apr 2025 – Charles Abelmann’s documentary,

 

“Call Me Waya” has its world premiere on Saturday April 5th  at the Quad Cinema in NYC. The NYC festival has received significant news coverage for the quality of their programming over the last 25 years and discovering new and emerging talent. “Call Me Waya” provides an intimate look into the life of an octogenarian outsider artist, Julian Espinosa Rebollido — also known as Wayacón or Waya. Despite his age, he is prolific, producing fantastical, childlike work that often incorporates found materials, a necessary approach reflecting the state of widespread scarcity in Cuba. The film reflects Wayacón’s extensive body of work, his struggle with substance abuse, his volatile relationship with his family, and the role of Sandra Levinson of the Center for Cuban Studies in bringing Cuban art to the United States and beyond. Abelmann partnered with the Cuban artists for filming and music composition.  

“Call Me Waya” is a compelling portrait of self-taught Cuban artist Wayacón (Julian Espinosa Rebollido), weaving together themes of creative resilience, the realities of his context, and a lifetime of work on the fringes of the art world. The film resonates with broad audiences and students alike, showcasing Wayacón’s ability to transform discarded materials into profound expressions of life and memory.”

“We are thrilled this April to have A World Premiere of “Call Me Waya“ at the esteemed Havana Film Festival New York (HFFNY) followed by a showing at the Gibara Film Festival in Cuba (Festival Internacional De Cine Gibara) and a community showing in the town where Wayacón lives, Remedios. I make movies to let audiences enter the life experience of others to deepen understanding of our universal hopes and challenges,” says Abelmann.

Abelmann also just released a compelling historical documentary – “Shifting Paths” on his family and their out of Germany path to the United States in 1939.

“Shifting Paths” is a multi-generational story of resilience, tracing the impact of Aryanization on the Abelmann family and how Kamillosan—a once-banned chamomile medicinal product—survives today, though few know of its origins. Abelmann’s grandfather, Arthur Abelmann, founded the Chemiewerk in Bad Homburg Germany in 1920. After Hitler’s rise to power, the Doctors’ Association banned all of Abelmann’s medical products, forcing his grandfather to sell a family business and to send his family to Switzerland on the eve of Boycott Saturday, April 1, 1933. By using first-person narratives, family photographs, letters, and archival footage, the film juxtaposes Frankfurt’s vibrant Jewish life with the rise of the Nazi regime. The film showcases resilience, Jewish heritage, and collective memory, exploring themes of loss, privilege, survivor’s guilt, and discrimination. By preserving personal and historical archives, it underscores the importance of remembering the past to better understand contemporary struggles with immigration and human rights.

Shifting Paths shows a touching and illuminating multi-generational story about the director’s grandfather’s dispossession of his Frankfurt factory in 1933 and his father’s refugee experience. Using a remarkable range of fortuitously preserved documents and photos, it connects us to a past at once still visible and tangible yet almost lost to the people who live where it happened. The film also is a shining example for us today of what can come of American openness to refugees.”

– Professor Peter Hayes, Northwestern University professor and chair of the Academic Committee of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Press Release

BLOZ Unveils Escrow-Based Domestic P2P Cryptocurrency Trading Platform as a Travel Rule-Free Alternative for Secure User Transactions

Published

on

Seoul, South Korea, 18th Sep 2025 – BLOZ announced on the 10th that it is a P2P platform that supports direct cryptocurrency trading between users. Designed to allow users to trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, and other cryptocurrencies through their personal wallets, BLOZ is designed to minimize risks during the transaction process by implementing an escrow system.

A BLOZ representative stated, “The platform is designed based on a structure that facilitates direct transactions between members. We will continue to improve its features to ensure a more convenient trading experience for users.”

 

Travel Rule-Free Alternative Amid Tightening Regulations

Cryptocurrency investors have recently been experiencing increasing inconveniences due to the tightening of exchange regulations and the implementation of the Travel Rule. This is due to the increased complexity of KRW deposit and withdrawal procedures, along with various restrictions such as 24-hour and 72-hour withdrawal limits.

Against this backdrop, a new P2P (peer-to-peer) platform, BLOZ, has emerged and is attracting attention. BLOZ allows investors to buy and sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, and other cryptocurrencies directly, bypassing exchanges.

The platform has implemented an escrow system to reduce transaction risks. Furthermore, by utilizing personal wallets instead of exchange accounts, it avoids the risks associated with long-term custody of funds on exchanges.

Industry insiders cite BLOZ’s strengths as its low fees, avoidance of Travel Rule restrictions, and secure trading environment outside of exchanges. Another notable feature is that it has optimized the Paxful example, a global P2P exchange, for the domestic market.

A BLOZ representative stated, “We’ve prepared this service to address the inconveniences faced by investors amidst tightening regulations. We will create a freer and safer environment through direct member-to-member trading.”

Experts have assessed that “P2P platforms can gain traction as an alternative to exchange-centric structures,” but added, “Investors need to be vigilant about managing the security of their personal wallets.”

 

Escrow-Driven P2P Transaction Model for User Security

One of the keywords recently gaining attention in the blockchain industry is the “P2P (Peer-to-Peer)-based transaction structure.” This approach, which enables direct transactions between users without going through an exchange, is gaining industry attention for its potential to simultaneously ensure efficiency and security.

Amidst this trend, BLOZ is showcasing the diversity of the blockchain ecosystem by introducing a P2P transaction system incorporating an escrow mechanism. Under BLOZ’s structure, the seller first deposits assets, and once the buyer’s deposit is confirmed, the platform automatically transfers the coins. This process provides a safety net for both parties, minimizing the risk of fraud.

A BLOZ representative explained, “Concerns are growing about the risks inherent in the existing exchange’s fund custody structure. External asset management using personal wallets and an escrow-based transaction model could offer new alternatives.”

Indeed, overseas, P2P platforms like Paxful and NoOnes are actively operating and have established themselves as reliable transaction models. BLOZ plans to leverage this global trend and focus on raising awareness among blockchain users about the need for a safe and verified transaction structure.

Experts predict that, “In a tightening regulatory environment, interest will grow in structures that reduce reliance on exchanges and ensure security,” and that “P2P transaction models will become a key topic of discussion in the blockchain industry going forward.”

 

Escrow-Based Trading to Reduce Exchange Risks

Recently, the global cryptocurrency market is rapidly shifting away from exchange-centric trading methods and toward peer-to-peer (P2P) trading. Amidst this trend, BLOZ has introduced a secure, escrow-based trading method.

The P2P trading structure adopted by BLOZ allows users to directly buy and sell major cryptocurrencies, such as USDT, Ethereum, and Bitcoin. Sellers deposit cryptocurrencies on the platform, and once the buyer completes the deposit, the platform automatically transfers the coins as soon as the amount is confirmed. This process avoids the risk of fraud for buyers, and sellers can also recover their assets if the deposit is not confirmed, ensuring high security.

This method is particularly noteworthy because it reduces the risk of funds being held on exchanges and allows users to directly manage their assets using their personal wallets. The ability for users to simultaneously store and trade cryptocurrencies is a key differentiating factor, even amidst increasingly stringent regulations and withdrawal restrictions in various countries.

Overseas, P2P trading platforms like Paxful and NOONES are already actively operating, and are being cited as examples of user protection and ensuring trust. BLOZ announced its intention to leverage this global trend to promote the benefits of escrow-based transaction structures and foster discussion on their safety and convenience.

Experts stated, “As the cryptocurrency market explores diverse transaction methods both within and outside the institutional framework, P2P-based secure transaction structures are likely to continue to receive attention. However, discussions on regulatory environments and institutional mechanisms must proceed in parallel.”

Louvre Furnishings Group Drives New International Furniture Trade Ecosystem

Published

on

China, 18th Sep 2025 – On 16th September, Launch Ceremony of Louvre Furnishings Foreign Trade Integrity Enterprise Membership and Lamps Gallery Opening was held in Louvre International Furniture Exhibition Center. The event was attended by leaders from CCPIT Foshan, Lecong Town Government, executives from Louvre Furnishings Group, international buyers from South Asia, Central Asia, Europe, and North America, and top furniture industrial brands. This initiative aims to show a high-trust, high-efficiency global furniture trade ecosystem and accelerate China’s“going global” strategy for the furniture industry.

IMG_256

Lecong Town, known as ‘China’s Capital of Furniture Trade and Innovation,’ exports furniture to over 100 countries and regions annually and remains a major contributor to Foshan’s foreign trade. However, many foreign businesses face challenges such as fluctuating global trade environments, varying international standards, and information gaps leading to “difficult orders and unstable partnerships.”

To address these pain points, Louvre Furnishings Group created the Foreign Trade Integrity Alliance in 2019, attracting over 150 international purchasers and improving the furniture business environment. Building on this success, the group has now launched a new Enterprise Membership System to deliver more precise service management and marketing support for foreign traders and brands.

The system introduces exclusive benefits including member-only shopping services, business mediation channels, government-enterprise resource connections, overseas marketing support, and member benefits. These digital solutions connect exporters, brands, and global demand, forming a complete procurement loop and promoting win-win cooperation in the international furniture trade.

Government agencies have expressed strong support. CCPIT Foshan stated that the membership system by Louvre is a positive step toward building a new international trade ecosystem and announced plans to offer full-chain legal services for foreign-related commercial activities, strengthening the region’s market-oriented, law-based, and internationalized business environment. Lecong Town Government also reaffirmed its commitment to supporting innovation and helping enterprises compete steadily in global markets.

Over 20 foreign trade companies and domestic brands signed up as the first batch of members during the event, enjoying special privileges such as participation in the Foreign Trade Procurement Festival, cashback rewards, and customized gifts.

Simultaneously, the Louvre Lamps Gallery officially opened, featuring a comprehensive range of global high-quality lighting products and offering one-stop procurement solutions for traders. This expansion further enhances the group’s ability to support exporters in expanding their business scope.

As the “bridge between Chinese furniture going global and global furniture entering China,” Louvre Furnishings Group continues to integrate resources and empower businesses, boosting the competitiveness of Chinese brands while fostering a healthy, stable, and efficient international furniture trade ecosystem.
