"TINY TOONES FREEZE": BREAKDANCING FOR A BETTER FUTURE
Tiny Toones uses breakdancing, Hip-Hop music, and the contemporary arts as
creative
tools to empower the youth of Cambodia to live healthier lives free of HIV
and
drugs, build a more promising future by furthering their educational
opportunities,
and become positive role models for their community. US photographer Jen May
Pastores taught basic fundamentals of photography to the kids over 4
weeks. We
invite you for tonight's exhibition opening, an auction and a performance by
Cambodia's best-known breakdance crew. On the rooftop we will screen the
documentary

Academy.

PHNOM PENH HIP HOP BACKSTAGE & "STRAIGHT REFUGEEZ"
In May 2009, the Centre Cultural Français and Meta House staged the first
Phnom Penh
Hip Hop Festival with support of the Goethe Institute. German film
director Jan
Mueller followed these successful events in a series for APSARA TV.
Tonight, we are
screening his BACKSTAGE documentary for the first time in English - featuring
Klap-Ya-Handz, Tiny Toons, DJ Sdey, MC Curly and many others. Ian White's
documentary STRAIGHT REFUGEEZ (2005, 75 min) pictures so-called
"returnees" in
Cambodia: In 2002, the US and Cambodia signed an agreement that more than
1000
Khmer-American convicts are to be deported to Cambodia. One of them was
KK, the
founder of Tiny Toones.
SUN, 30/08, 7 PM
"END OF AMERICA. 10 STEPS TO CLOSE AN OPEN SOCIETY"
From award-winning filmmakers Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern comes the
provocative
and expertly crafted film about Naomi Wolf's book END OF AMERICA. In a
stunning
indictment of sweeping policy changes during the Bush years, Naomi Wolf
makes a
chilling case that American democracy is under threat. Investigating
parallels
between the USA's current situation and the rise of dictators and fascism in
once-free societies. Wolf uncovers a number of deeply unsettling
similarities—from
the use of secret prisons to the targeted suspension of the rule of law.
Wolf gives
details about the ten steps a country takes when it slides toward Fascism.

Dear beloved friends and supporters,
I am writing on behalf of all staff and supporters of Sovanna Phum Art Association. Sovanna Phum Art Association aims to revive and promote treasures of Khmer culture to local and international audiences. Since its creation in 1994, large number of artists and collaborators work together to revive the arts of Cambodian dance and shadow puppet theatre. Sovanna Phum's goal is to create a maximum of opportunities for artists to make shows in an independent way, and expose themselves to the diversity of modern audience both in Cambodia and abroad.
This favored place also promotes the knowledge of foreign culture for Khmer artists by meeting foreign artists, and sharing their experience. Sovanna Phum is a space that allows Cambodian people to re-discover their culture, also allow foreigners to discover the rich diversity of Khmer performing arts.
As you may have known, the global financial crisis has profoundly hit Cambodian tourism industry which, in turn, affects the regularity of daily income made from tourists that Sovanna Phum largely relied on.
Besides, the increasing in price of property market, Sovanna Phum Arts Association has also to move her office to a cheaper place. Today, Sovanna Phum faces financial hardship and is unable to afford the new establishment of a new theatre and a small office. (Please see the map of the new office attached).
We write to appeal for financial support for Sovanna Phum to be able to fund itself setting up a new theatre and a small working place during this difficult period. We would like to assure you that we will do what we possibly can to make Sovanna Phum self-sustained when the theatre is ready for operation again.
For the above reason, I strongly hope that your family and you will support Sovanna Phum and rescue this valuable performing art theater from its bankruptcy. Shall you have any queries regarding the issues related to Sovanna Phnum Art Association, please do not hesitate to contact me for more clarification.
Sincerely yours,
Mann Kosal
Director of Sovanna Phum Art Association

The last week performance from Sovanna Phum
Dear Valued Art Lover,
Please see the attached file our last week Artistic Performance Program from Sovanna Phum artists.
Maybe this week would be the last performance from Sovanna Phum Art Association. We are moving to the new place soon and will start to build up a new stage which will take time and money. We don’t really know when we can serve you again, next month, next year or just next couples of weeks.
Anyways, we would like to express our heartfelt thank to you who have supported our association so far. We believe that Sovanna Phum will be able to overcome this hardship and continue to welcome audience from every corner of the world.
We will strive to promote and preserve the pieces of rare art of its kind forever and ever.
All the best wishes from Sovanna Phum management, staff and artists.
