They state: "Phnom Penh is in a stage of intense development. As the country stabilizes, post-war, people are developing the confidence to build, to invest, to trade, and to hope for a much better future." (Until April 22, 2009) Thanks to the Phnom Penh Post for printing the catalogue for this exhibition - see also the attached postcard. Pick up your copy at the opening, pls. All artworks are for sale. Please also note that we have new opening hours for our gallery: From Wednesday, April 1, we are open from 2PM until 10PM – Monday is closed. ++++ Here is our film programme for this week: WED, 01/04, 7 PM THE TRIAL HAS BEGUN Finally Cambodia puts the Khmer Rouge on trial. First defendant is "Comrade Duch". UK journalist/filmmaker Tom Fawthrop and Helen Jarvis have written the book "Getting Away With Genocide: Cambodia's Long Struggle Against the Khmer Rouge". Tonite Tom Fawthrop presents his rare documentary "CAMBODIA 1989" and other films focusing on the KR legacy. THUR, 02/04, 7 PM VIVA CUBA! Following this February's Cuban Film Festival @ Meta we are pleased to re-screen Tom Fawthrop's documentary SWIMMINING AGAINST THE TIDE (2007, 45min) – a timely reminder of what public health is meant to be all about. Part of tonite's program is the groundbreaking documentary WITH OR WITHOUT FIDEL, that features Cuba's leading politicians, intellectuals and dissidents, who debate the future direction of the island's 48 year-old revolution.... FRI, 03/04, 7 PM GOMORRA Director Matteo Garrone gives a rough portrait of the Camorra, Naples region's criminal network. Inspired by Roberto Saviano's book, the fascinating movie drives straight, and without mercy, toward the heart of the issue, where underdevelopment merges with marginalization, corruption with violence, and where hope seems to have handover to darkness. (Italy, 2008, 137 min.) SAT, 04/04, 7 PM TERROR'S ADVOCATE Powerful documentary by Barbet Schroeder on the controversial lawyer Jacques Vergès, who has defended Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie and super-terrorist Carlos "The Jackal".

Géométries Virtuelles / un panorama de l'Art vidéo au CCF de Phnom Penh
Bonjour,
Géométries Virtuelles est le premier évènement autour de l'Art Vidéo organisé au Cambodge.
De plus en plus, les jeunes artistes utilisent l'image animée dans leurs créations. Il est donc important que la nouvelle génération d'artistes cambodgiens ait une première approche de «l'outil vidéo ». La rencontre d'artistes d'horizons très divers a permis la création de vidéos réalisées en « binôme » qui seront présentées aux côtés d'œuvres réalisées par de jeunes artistes du monde entier.
Nous vous invitons à rencontrer les deux concepteurs du projet Alain Arnaudet et Carlos Franklin, ainsi les artistes présents à Phnom Penh qui participent à Géométries virtuelles :
- Belle Chumvan Sodhachivy et Victor Corolleur
- Sophon Phe
- Peou Sam An
- Leang Sekon et Carlos Franklin
- Philippe Chollet
Je serais heureuse de vous accueillir à cet événement, notamment à notre Nuit d'Images le samedi 28 mars à partir de 18h30.
Pour plus de renseignements, je vous joins le dossier de presse.
Cordialement,
Magali Poivert

Tonite (6.30PM) weâ™d like to invite you for the special screening of THE
CHOSEN ONES â" a new documentary about Jewish musicians in New York City.
Music is a calling, divine or otherwise. For some, the calling is entirely
secular; for others, it is profoundly spiritual.
German musician and filmmaker Wendla Nölle travels to Manhattan and
introduces us to New Yorkâ™s new generation of Jewish musicians. The film
(2007, 88min) features also the city of New York itself, its frenetic
multiplicity adding a vibrant backdrop to outstanding performances.
Please join tonite or in the following days for CINEMIX â" International
Films @ Meta House. Best, your MH team

The exhibition shows a selection of paintings, sculptures, videos, photos
and installations by 50 artists from more than 20 countries, all inspired by

With the collected artworks, he organized numerous workshops for children

studios abroad and at home in Germany. The exhibition displays both, the
original artworks and the workshop results by children and young people.
In April 2007, THE BANYAN TREE visited META HOUSE Cambodia the first time.
Workshops took place at NFC Phnom Penh and Wat Opod Project in Takeo, based
on artworks from Africa, Europe, America, Asia and the Pacific.
The popular Cambodian artist Srey Bandol contributed two of his drawings to
the project, they where "remixed" by students in Guyana, South-America. See

Dear Meta House Friends!
How does GLOBALISATION affect CAMBODIA?
Our "Globalisation Week" at Meta House kicks off with tonite's
presentation of
ZEITGEIST (6.30PM). The "Winner of the Activist Film Festival 2007" is a
highly
critical documentary (2008, 120min) focusing on suppressed historical &
modern
information about currently dominant social institutions, while also
exploring what
could be in store for humanity if the power structures at large continue
their
patterns of self-interest, corruption, and consolidation.
Please visit us also for the following screnings:
WED, 04/03, 6.30 PM SAVE THE KHMER FOREST
Cambodia has one of the world's worst deforestation rates. Between 1990
and 2005 the
kingdom lost 2.5 million hectares. Illegal logging, combined with rapid
development
and population growth, is blamed for it. The doc films PREY LANG by
Jocelyn and Ben
Pederick and CAMBODIANA by Estelle Dorides take you inside the still
existing Khmer
forests. Om Kimsour's film TOMORROW plays in Rattanakiri, where ethnic
minorities
fight for their land.
THUR, 05/03, 6.30PM AT THE FACTORY GATES
The kingdom's garment factories in Cambodia aren't gloomy pits of
Dickensian misery.
Instead, Cambodia is seeking to become the rare Third World country to
develop
economically while treating workers reasonably well. This innovative soap
opera
series by ILO/"Better Factories" was produced to help factories with their
in-house
training, and covers important workplace issues and trains workers on
their rights
and responsibilities. (Q&A after screening)
FRI, 06/03 MH CLOSED FOR RECEPTION
SAT, 07/03, 6.30PM CHANGING THE WORLD ON VACATION
This new documentary by Daniela Kon (2009, 88 min) follows the Cambodian
grassroots
NGO PEPY which built a school for 540 children in a rural village and
supports this
project through "Volun-tourism" - the controversial trend in the modern
non-profit
world that merges adventure tourism and humanitarian aid work.
EXPANDING ARCHITECTURE: DESIGN AS ACTIVISM
STT STUDENT WORKSHOP 2009
EXPANDING ARCHITECTURE: DESIGN AS ACTIVISM
Designers and planners working with communities under threat of eviction
This is the second year of a collaborative workshop with students from various Cambodian Universities and the University of Helsinki spending 3 days looking at the current challenges for design students working in cities affected by forced eviction. Despite the recent world economic problems Cambodia continues to attract investment particularly in economic land concessions (ELCs) and Special Economic Zones (SEZ). While development is to be welcomed in Cambodia, the use of forced eviction to remove families from their homes without reasonable compensation is causing widespread problems.
How then does the designer/planner respond to this? Avoiding the issue by saying it is not 'design'related is clearly not an option but then how to approach it? The answers are far from simple and in many cases unanswered. This workshop will begin to look at some of the issues and see what Cambodia's urban communities and concerned organisations are doing to confront this endemic problem.
