TUE, 17/06 ARTIST SPECIAL THE CLASH The Clash were the band who made punk music real. Joe Strummer and his colleagues explored and expanded musical boundaries. For seven years they set the agenda for future generations of bands. Tonite we screen "Westway to the World" – a excellent documentary by Don Letts: The only full, unexpurgated story of one of Rock music's legendary acts…
WED, 18/06 GERMAN CINEMA THE KEBAB CONNECTION Have a good laugh with this comedy! In Hamburg, Ibrahim "Ibo" Secmez, of Turkish descent, wants to direct the first German kung-fu movie. For now, he makes commercials for his uncle's kebab restaurant. In the background are three thugs in search of good tripe soup and a Capulet-Montegue feud between the kebab joint and a Greek taverna across the street. (In German, with English subtitles)
THU, 19/06 GERMAN CINEMA DIE HIMMELSWIESE „Diese Dokumentation ist ein Meisterwerk des Regisseurs Detlev F. Neufert. Ein Film, der tief bewegt, aber auch zugleich mit einer Fröhlichkeit ansteckt, die bisher beim Thema AIDS unbekannt war. Von Anfang bis Ende folgt der Zuschauer gebannt dem dramatisch-positiven Wunder von 'Baan Gerda" und den dem Tode geweihten Kindern, die dank medikamentöser Behandlung zu einem neuen gesunden Leben in Liebe erwachen... (Wolfgang Petersen, Regisseur, Los Angeles, USA). Only in German/ in Deutsch.

Like the rest of his generation, he's known only war since infancy, camps, hunger and massacres. All he's got left now is his uncle, Sôn, as the rest of the family was entirely annihilated by Pol Pot's regime. One evening, at the dance bar where his war buddy Maly is working as bouncer, Savannah falls prey to the charm of the beautiful Srey Poeuv, one of the bar girls, who, from time to time, also serve the desires of the richest patrons. The two young people from a sacrificed generation are soon to be victims to their own passion.

The primaries have ended in the USA. Here's to hoping that we can all cast our ballots again at USA Donuts come December. Perhaps a similar strategy in the states would increase turnout - Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks voting centers. Also, is it me or are the Dunkin Donuts Munchkins a complete rip off the Umpa Lumpas from Willy Wonka?

FUGITIVE DENIM A Moving Story of People and Pants in the Borderless World of Global Trade
By Rachel Louise Snyder
The multi-billion dollar textile industry is perhaps the world's best barometer of globalization's effects – both nefarious and beneficial. After all, everyone has to get dressed in the morning, and that means they need clothes – clothes that are usually made in far-off countries, under the auspices of a rapidly changing cluster of trade agreements and quota treaties.
The remarkably complex chain of events, from the cotton field to the factory floor to the catwalk, is the focus of writer Rachel Louise Snyder's captivating new book, FUGITIVE DENIM [W.W. Norton & Company]. In crisp, witty prose Snyder delivers a fascinating portrait of a global industry facing monumental change as the deadline to scrap a global trade system looms.
The Mystique of the Orient and other drawings by Nicolas.C.Grey
5 June - 30 June Java Cafe &Gallery, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Welcome to "The Mystique of the Orient and other drawings" by Nicolas.C.Grey in his premiere exhibition at Java Cafe and Gallery and also his first in Cambodia. For this exhibition he will showcase 28 works that have been produced during his passage through Asia. These illustrations are exquisitely executed and will hopefully give viewers an alternative view of Asia and its diverse morsels, through the eyes of one Nicolas.C.Grey.
Among other things Nicolas has written and published underground comics, painted cinema hoardings, and exhibited with Britart in London. He now lives and works in Phnom Penh.
"For this exhibition, I have, in part, created a series of drawings that in a small way convey my feelings about Asia.
Having lived in various Asian Countries for the past few years, I find them to be wonderful places full of mystery and delight. But as the modernization of Asia continues, through mass products, global communications and cheap air travel, I feel a certain standardization of aesthetic.
As a child growing up in London, Asia always had a certain mystique. A strange dark continent filled with unknowable things. I am interested in what the earliest travelers must have felt, coming to a land so different from their own, as if waking up in a strange dream.
This is the Asia that I see, an Asia that, perhaps, lives entirely in the darkness of my imagination." - Nicolas.C.Grey
