Thirty-seven black-and-white photographs boasting lines of poetry. Original verse set to the Celtic folk song "Whiskey in a Jar" and sung a cappella by Inner Voice. Seems a little over-the-top for British lensman Robin Hill, so well-known for his elegant images of Miami Modern (MiMo) architecture, but who wants the world to know he's capable of making other things -- people, landscapes, a bunch of matchsticks, his own daughter's ear -- look equally stunning. Celebrating spontaneity and creativity, his multimedia exhibition "Song of Light, Dance of Shadow" aims to do just that. Opening at 7:00 p.m. at Britto Central (818 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach), the show presents one of the rare occasions when internationally famous artist Romero Britto displays a series of works that aren't his own. The exhibition runs through Thursday, May 8. Admission is free. Call 305-531-8821 to RSVP for the reception.--BY NINA KORMANFri 5/2 UM directors debut works

The movies might be short and the festival lackluster, but for the directors in the University of Miami film program, the Third Annual Canes Film Festival is the Oscars. For the young directors, this is the first public showing of most of the 50 works to be screened. Though they may seem gritty or lacking in effects, the student films are full of balls and vision. The festival unspools at 6:30 tonight; Saturday, May 3; and Sunday, May 4, at UM's Bill Cosford Cinema (off Campo Sano Avenue, Coral Gables). Admission is free. Call 305-284-6902. -- Juan Carlos Rodriguez Fri 5/2 Cinco de Movies>

While Cinco de Mayo is technically not a full-fledged day of independence (Mexico won the battle but only managed to delay French conquest for a year), it's a good time to support all things independent and entertaining, so why not independent film? This year Homestead's Cinco de Mayo Celebration includes the first Mexican Film Festival. The two-day event at ArtSouth (240 N. Krome Ave.) offers three movies: La Ley De Herodes (Herod's Law), a comedy about small-town political corruption in 1940s Mexico; Atlético San Pancho (Never Too Young to Dream), the story of soccer-loving kids trying to form a team; and Todo el Poder (All the Power), a black comedy about crime in Mexico City. Films are in Spanish with English subtitles. Admission is five dollars for opening night; the second day is free. Call 305-538-8242. -- Mia LeoninRobin Hill unleashes his dynamic work
