Dear META HOUSE friends,

Tonite (6.30PM) we’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 York’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

FRI, 20/03, 6.30 PM TXT B4 MARRIAGE
Love through the phone: Noel and Liza have courted each other for 6 months
via texts. The documentary by Richard Reyes (UK/Phillipines) intends to
show how a couple 7000 miles apart was brought together through modern
communication. Their marriage, however romantic, was born out of needs -
companionship and economics. Filmmaker will be present at the screening
(Q&A).

SAT, 21/03, 6.30 PM FREEDOM WRITERS
With approximately 50,000 Cambodians, Long Beach is home to the second
largest population of Cambodian immigrants outside Southeast Asia. Hilary
Swank stars in this gripping story of inner city kids raised on drive-by
shootings and hard-core attitude - and the teacher who gives them the one
thing they need most: a voice of there own. Based on a true story â€"
don’t miss this excellent Hollywood film (2007, 123 min).

!!!!!!!!!! Program Change â€" Pls. Note!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
