HEARTS OF DARKNESS - HEARTS OF LIGHT
Reflections on the Reamker and the Ramakien
by Bruce Gundersen (NYC/USA)
Meta House Phnom Penh is pleased to present an exhibit of Bruce Gundersen's color photomontages "HEARTS OF DARKNESS - HEARTS OF LIGHT' vividly reflecting the traditional myths of Southeast Asia using contemporary computer imaging. After an in depth research of the Reamker/ Ramakien /Ramayana, the New York artist, Bruce Gundersen was inspired to explore the inherent similarities and differences of the Thai and Khmer versions of this epic poem reflected in their literature, murals and performing arts. Through carefully manipulated digital photographs, Gundersen emphasizes each culture's unique style. (This exhibit runs from July 11 through August 4 2007 - Fridays and Saturdays, 6PM to Midnite. For special appointments call, pls.)
* Friday, 13th of July, 7PM
GHOSTS OF ISAN
Documentary by Robert Millis (USA)
Brimming with colour and music "Ghosts of Isan" documents a unique festival held in a small town in Thailand's Isan province. The film puts the viewer in the middle of the festivities, creating an immersive "you are there" experience featuring masgnificent masks, ornate costumes, phallic charms, ceremony, drinking, dancing and endless addictive Molam music
EXTRA: Screening of the video compilation
ISAN Folk & Pop Music (by Sublime Frequencies/USA)
* Saturday, 14th of July, 7PM
BUILDING A DREAM
Documentary by Nico Mesterharm (Germany)
In February of 1999 the German architect Michael Weiss came to Cambodia for the first time, while on vacation with his wife Veronica. They were fascinated by the ruins of Angkor but moved by the numerous child beggars. Weiss purchased 2.5 hectares of land on the outskirts of Phnom Penh. There he is building a children's village, which has been designed by orphans and vulnerable children under his supervision. "Building a Dream" is a long-term documentary that is following this unique aid program from its beginning. What began, as a child's drawing, will be followed through to the opening of the center on the 1st of December 2007 (World AIDS Day).
