An Eternal Harvest

Hey there!
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 6.30pm, please join for the screening of a
photo project by Jerry Redfern and Karen Coates at Popil PhotoGallery and
talk with the artists.
Coates and Redfern's "Eternal Harvest" documentes the subject of UXO in
Laos, where 4 billion pounds of bombs have been dumped by US military
between 1964 and 1973. If it seems an old story for you, that is a very
serious reason to come see at gallery and realise that today up to 30
percent of those bombs did not detonate, remaining in the soil, covering
more than 35,000 square miles of the country, making every week Laotians die
while plowing their fields, playing in their yards, tending their cattle.

"An Eternal Harvest", a photo project about UXO in Laos by Jerry Redfern and
Karen Coates, at Popil PhotoGallery, 126 street 19, Phnom Penh, February
16th, 17th and 18th at 6.30pm.

I hope to see you,

Stephane Janin
Photographer and Director of the Popil PhotoGallery.

Where Elephants Weep

Dear Friends,

Please help us spread out words about "Where Elephants Weep", an East Meets West in a New Contemporary Cambodian Opera that is coming to Lowell in April 2007. Only three performances on April 27, 28 & 29, 2007.

The story focuses on a refugee from the Khmer Rouge genocide, Sam, who returns to his homeland from America. Committed to finding his roots in his native culture, he unexpectedly falls in love with Bopha, a pop-karaoke star.

The struggle between the traditional and modernity, East and West, is played out through a musical score drawing on classical western, ancient Cambodian, and popular American music traditions - against the backdrop of a beautiful land torn by war and gemocide.

"Where Elephants Weep" - a love story from a land where civil strife nearly extinguished a great ancient culture.

Check out the website at www.WhereElephantsWeep.net. Also, check out out postcard attached.

Regards,

Samkhann Khoeun
Co-Director,

at Russian Cultural Centre
103 Norodom Blvd north of Independence Monument
Sat. Feb 10, 6:00 pm

ADMISSION BY DONATION
to create and repair Khmer instruments

Co-sponsors: the EMBASSY OF CANADA,the CAMBODIA SUPPORT GROUP,and MCD (Media
Consulting & Development) Reception to follow.

016 - 722 021 / 012 - 16 245 17 / csg@cyberlink.bc.ca

This event will be a splendid celebration of Khmer talent, with a triple
focus on traditional instruments, singing in various styles, and piano.

Traditional Mahaori and Pen Peat orchestras will begin the two halves of the
program. As well, the wonderful large-guitar CHAPEY will be played by Gong
Boran, a son of revered Chapey master Gong Nai. Boran's vigorous,
compelling style shows that Chapey is a truly living art. Khmer
instrumental master Yun Khean Theara will perform on two Cambodian-invented
instruments, the Tro Khmer and Ksae Diw.

Four singers will present two songs each, embracing a rich array of foreign
and Cambodian styles: Khmer composers Sin Sisamuth and King Father Sihanouk,
the Carpenters, Italian opera, jazz, and French. The singers are Mrs. Kim
Neang, Mr. Hy Kimchanthavouth, Mr. Khut Chan Pheap and Mr. Pol Vann Chaom
Mony. As well, a group of University voice students will perform King
Sihanouk's song "Chumno Wicheka".

To round out the program, Mrs. Tep Khuntheareth and Mr. Khim Daravatanak
will perform a piano duet version of the popular American song, "From a
Distance."

Funds raised at the event will further the project to create or repair one
hundred traditional instruments - with well over fifty funded so far, thanks
to Cambodian and foreign supporters and a three-way partnership between the
University and School of Fine Arts (Music Departments), the Cambodia Support
Group, and the Canadian Embassy.

Exposition

"L'homme qui marche" par Claude Dityvon

Vernisage : le 08 février / 18h30 / hall d'exposition du CCF

"L'histoire de l'homme n'est qu'un instant entre deux pas d'un homme qui marche"
KAFKA

Des tunnels que j'arpente depuis si longtemps, je distingue enfin, après des tâtonnements multiples, cet Homme qui marche inspiré des sculptures de GIACOMMETTI, espoir de vie ,de renaissance.
Mal à l'âme, empli d'incertitudes, l'œil enfin se met à saisir l'impalpable, l'indicible, le fantastique. Mon approche s'est métamorphosée.
La nuit tout à coup s'illumine imperceptiblement. Des silhouettes muettes figées se meuvent comme un bruissement infime, doux, fugace. J'entends distinctement, comme des chuchotements… « et si nous parlions d'amour » !
Enfin libre, visiteur inquiet, mais délibérément présent et disponible, voyageur aux pays des merveilles, à la croisée du chemin aux mille miroirs.
Je traverse des paysages où le corps se confond avec l'infini. Près de la mer, miroir de l'âme, un visage aimé apparaît, s'évapore. L'eau, fluide et libératrice m'invite au rêve.
Comme un ricochet je glisse léger au fil des vagues.
Toute cette tentative, alchimie d'une nouvelle esthétique crée l'harmonie entre ces éléments pour atteindre une grande fluidité et un langage poétique.
Je me place au bord du monde, en retrait du bruit et de la fureur.
Je suis dans la fragilité, elle m'accompagne.

Claude DITYVON

"L'histoire de l'homme n'est qu'un instant entre deux pas d'un homme qui marche"
KAFKA

Lauréat du Prix Niepce en 1970, et cofondateur de l'Agence VIVA, Claude DITYVON est l'un des photographes français, encore en vie, les plus importants de sa génération et de la seconde moitié du XX ème siècle.

Connu du grand public pour ses célèbres clichés de Mai 68, Dityvon poursuit aujourd'hui un travail exigeant, personnel, difficile, en marge du petit monde des galeries et des agences. Affranchi des phénomènes de mode et libéré des contraintes économiques comme esthétiques, Dityvon se définit comme un créateur, un passeur de sens….

Cinéma du CCF - 18h30 / billets à retirer au ccf avant le 12 février

Le Chapei est un genre musical et poétique traditionnel du Cambodge.

Prach Chhoun, sorte de barde aveugle, commence à apprendre le Chapei à l'âge de 12 ans. Durant toute sa vie, il aura aussi bien joué à la radio nationale et à la television khmère que dans des pagodes pour des fêtes religieuses ou encore dans des villages, parfois assis par terre, entouré de lampes à pétrole.
