ONLY AT META HOUSE: "KAMPUCHEA: DEATH AND REBIRTH"
This is the first documentary film (1979, 90min) after the Khmer Rouge, shot
by famous GDR filmmakers Walter Heynowski and Gerhard Scheumann. The scenes
filmed During spring 1979 are part of history: Phnom Penh left to rampant
nature, heaps of skulls and destroyed faces. The reports from the survivors
are moving and
harrowing. Heynowski/Scheumann are rated among the most productive and
best-known GDR documentary makers, and belonged to the few GDR filmmakers
that attracted interest from abroad. Modeling themselves on the tradition of
Soviet film pioneer Dziga Vertov, they perceived documentary films as an
instrument of political intervention. The film is presented by Florianne
Wilde (PhD).

"BARTHORY": UNVEILING HISTORY'S GREATEST MURDERESS
Tradition has it that Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory was the greatest
murderess in the history of humankind, as documented by her entry in the
"Guinness Book of Records". She tortured her female victims before killing
them. She bathed in their blood, and tore the flesh from their bodies with
her teeth. But is that really true? In four centuries, no historical
document has been found to reveal what had exactly happened. The plot of
this new Czech/European co-produced feature film by Juraj Jakubisko (2008,
138min) diametrically opposes the established legend, which has inspired
dozens novels as well as a host of songs by heavy metal bands…
THUR, 24/09, 7 PM
WHAT'S UP, DOCS? TWO NEW FILMS ABOUT THE HEALTH SECTOR
"ScreenDocs" and doctors: The Khmer NGO "Women's Agenda for Change" has
produced the advocacy film "PAY OR DIE" (2009, 20 min) which will screen
tonight as a rough cut. Mark Hopkins' LIVING IN EMERGENCY (2008, 93min)
follows members of the Nobel Peace Prize-winning NGO "Medecins Sans
Frontieres" (MSF) on their African missions in Congo and Liberia to provide
emergency medical care under extreme conditions. Amid the chaos each
volunteer must confront the severe challenges of the work and the limits of
their own idealism. This film is a raw and very real depiction of the toll
their work can take on them both personally and professionally.
ARCHITECTURE FILM FESTIVAL
FRI, 25/09, 6 PM
OUR CITY: CONCRETE VISIONS FOR THE NEW CAMBODIA
Initiated in by JavaArts, "Our City" is a collective project that provides
an opportunity to the arts community in Phnom Penh to respond to the rapid
and sometimes reckless development of the city and its impact on its
residents. It functions as a voice of the people to express their thoughts,
rants, dreams, fears and hopes about their city. Meta House is screening a
selection of Cambodian films and documentaries about urban development from
the 1960s, up until now: CAMBODIA 1965 (Propaganda Films from the Palace
Archive); CONCRETE VISIONS by Nico Mesterharm (20min, 2007); LAND FOR SALE
by Nana Yuriko (57min); DEY KRAHORM by Eric Lofting(30min) and UNDP's Equity
TV feature URBANISATION.
SAT, 26/09, 7 PM
"BAUKUNST"
THE WORK OF SUPERSTAR ARCHITECTS
New Khmer Architecture was an architectural movement in Cambodia during the
1950s and 1960s. The style blended elements of the Modern Movement with two
distinctly Cambodian traditions: the grand tradition of Angkor, and the
vernacular tradition of ordinary people's houses. The "Baukunst" TV series
by Richard Copans and Stan Neumann (France/Germany, 2001) looks at the works
of international superstar architects such as Le Corbusier, who influenced
their Cambodian colleagues. Also screening: short docs about Renzo Piano,
Frank Lloyd Wright, Daniel Liebeskind, Antoni Gaudi, Alvar Alto, Frank
Gehry, Toyo Ito, Kenzo Tanga and Zaha Hadid.
SUN, 27/09, 7 PM
REACHING OUT FOR THE SKIES: "BUILDING THE GHERKIN" High-rises will reshape
Phnom Penh's future skyline. Mirjam von Arx's documentary BUILDING THE
GHERKIN (2005, 90 min) asks: can a single building impact the skyline of a
big city? Just a month after the disastrous attack on the World Trade Center
in New York, the first steel beam of Sir Norman Foster's 40-storey steel and
glass tower is erected in London. Is it the right decision to build a new
iconic tower in the midst of London's financial district? Also screening:
The "architecture opera" MUTATIONS OF MATTER by Carlos Franklin and Roque
Rivas plus PEARL RIVER DELTA - LEAN PLANNING, THIN PATTERNS by French video
artists Gutierrez & Portefaix.
