THIS IS OUR FREE META HOUSE PROGRAMME 4 THE COMING DAYS….
FRI, 03/10, 8PM GENOCIDE IN RWANDA
The doc "PIECING TOGETHER RWANDA'S PAST" (2007, 21min) shows how
propaganda was used
to incite violence leading to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. The BBC feature
"SHOOTING
DOGS" (2005, 110min) by Hugh Dancy is based on real events: On 11th April
1994 over
2500 Rwandans were abandoned by the UN at the "Ecole Technique officielle de
Kicukiro" and later murdered by extremist militias. (Q&A after screening
–in coop.
with Youth for Peace, DED)
SAT, 04/10, 8PM GUATEMALA: WHEN THE MOUNTAINS TREMBLE
Filmmakers Yates/Sigel shot this documentary (Guatemala/USA,1985, 82min)
at the
height of a heated battle between the heavily-armed Guatemalan Military
and a nearly
defenseless Mayan population with firsthand accounts by Nobel Peace Prize
winner
Rigoberta Menchu. (Q&A after screening – in coop. with Youth for Peace, DED)
SUN, 05/10, 8PM META MUSIC: JONI MITCHELL
"Shadows and Lights" was shot during an historic 1979 tour, where Mitchell
was at
the peak of her powers. The band was a dream, including Pat Metheny,
Michael Brecker
and the legendary, late, great Jaco Pastorius The playing is so uniformly
good that
it is obvious everyone enjoyed working together.

NEXT WEEK:
TUES, 07/10, 6PM
EXHIBITION OPENING "KHMER OBSCURA"
Argentinean photographer Carolina Furque and Australian artist Stephen
Eastaugh drop
into METAHOUSE for an exhibition of mixed media work employing painting,
sewing and
photography techniques.
Carolinas photographic works are rather dark, distorted temples. Fuzzy and
obscure
images that are part of an ongoing visual essay capturing distorted
panoramic cities
across the world. Eastaugh's paintings are often quirky, odd and
dislocated due to
his constant travels over the past twenty five years. His work in this
show is based
on his many visits into the Khmer world – but as a foreigner he recognizes
that he
will never have a very precise nor clear vision of what happens in this
exotic land.
Touching upon Buddhism, bombs, architecture and wines with apparent
aphrodisiac
qualities these two artists from very different parts of the globe attempt to
confuse, amuse, obscure and focus their energy in Phnom Penh from the 7th
to 30th
October at METAHOUSE.
