I was the first Chilean female director
Through time this role turned into a phantom limb
In fact, I became a prolific writer
The picture show is where I moved my first steps
I then was journalist, playwright and author
The one movie I directed was complex
I also wrote the script, whilst my husband helped
With photography and editing effects
Salvador Giambastiani in Chile dwelt
My dear spouse was an Italian immigrant
His love for South America was heartfelt
With him, the Chile Film Co I would implant
Also Guillermo Bidwell joined our project
As well as Luis Larraín, who would enchant
These men on my directorial work leapt
The Agony of Arauco had their aid
The film on the Mapuche people would reflect
Colonists and indigenous I displayed
El Diario Ilustrado praised me
My interest behind the camera swayed
Thus, I worked with my consort anonymously
His sudden death made me part from filmmaking
I embarked upon a lovely writing spree
I hope my name one day will be inspiring
Gabriela von Bussenius Vega
The woman who encouraged to be daring.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
