DEAR GUESTS and FILM LOVERS,

With all the best wishes from Meta House we invite you for the below
listed events. The week starts with our CAMBODIAN FILMMAKERS NIGHT (Tmr:
Tuesday, 8PM), that will prove to you that there is a new generation of
Khmer directors who focus on content rather than entertainment.

Our special event tip for the coming weekend is the INTERNATIONAL MUSIC
FESTIVAL â€" The Best of Western Clasical music, performed by
international and Cambodian musicians. It starts with a grand opening @
Chaktomuk Hall this Thursday, October 30, 7PM. Free ticket are available
at Meta House - but also at Art Cafe, Java, Monument Books, CCF. Pls.
consider a donation for the Khmer musicians.

All the best, NICO MESTERHARM/MH
