Intersection Exhibition @ Meta-House Tuesday
Tuesday, November 04 @ 6 PM"INTERSECTION"
Reflections on the legends, folk tales and a parade of supernaturals
Bruce Gundersen's 2nd Meta House exhibit "INTERSECTIONS' vividly reflects the
traditional folk tales of Southeast Asia using contemporary computer imaging.
Gundersen's visuals continue to explore his fascination with the interplay
between
the supernatural and corporeal worlds filled with characters that are vividly
depicted through his unique photomontages.
After an in depth research into the Khmer and Thai folk tales, legends and
belief
systems, this New York artist reinterprets traditional Southeast Asian
cosmologies,
reflected in their literature, murals and performing arts. He works
collaboratively
with professional dancers and performers to recreate the scenes. (Exhibit
runs from
4th to 25th of November)
Please be our guest for this exciting show.

FRI, 07/11, 8PM "BROADCAST FROM NGO LAND"
Over 6000 NGOs are registered in Cambodia. Is the density warping the

screening a broad selection of short docs by Cambodian and international
filmmakers,
who focus on development and aidwork in the kingdom. NGOs are invited to
participate.
SAT, 08/11, 8PM "SHOOTING THE MESSENGER?"
Khmer Mekong Films has made many "message-based" productions for NGOs -
but how
effective are they, particularly when drama is involved? Does so-called
"edutainment" really deliver to rural people? Can messages really change
behaviour?
KMF co-founder Matthew Robinson shows some examples of recent KMF
"edutainments",
inviting audience discussion and debate.
SUN, 09/11, 8PM "FIREWORKS"
Our film series "SET IN ASIA" is back - with one of the best Japanese

emotions. By Takeshi Kitano (1997, 103 min)
