CHILD SOLDIERS, DMC STUDENTS, MESSENGER BAND @ META HOUSE
Dear META HOUSE FRIENDS,Please be our guest for tonite's first screening of "LOST CHILDREN"
(Tuesday, 7PM) – the award-winning documentary about child soldiers in
Uganda. Filmmakers Ali Samadi Ahadi and Oliver Stoltz observe children who
escaped the bush camps of Ugandan rebels to document what happens when they
try to reintegrate into their clans. Because both directors were confronted
with war during their childhoods, they have purposely chosen to tell the
story from a child's perspective (2005, 98mins).
Also screening: "ON THE MOVE" by Cambodian media students Tiep Seiha and
Meas Roth documents a trip to Germany and the Netherlands, where Khmer
students learn about the German genocide.

This is our program for the coming nights @ Meta House:
* Friday, 7 PM, we are proud to screen "WHO MOVES PHNOM PENH?": Media
students from the Department of Media and Communication (DMC) at the Royal
University of Phnom Penh present their new short film series. 22 mini
documentaries take you amongst construction workers, to the kitchen of
noodle makers, or into the middle of a traditional Khmer boxing practice
session (2009, 70 mins). Filmmakers will be present at the screening (Q&A).
* Saturday, 7 PM, the MESSENGER BAND presents "LAND LOST, CULTURE LOST".
Former garment factory workers are singing "a-capella" about pressing social
issues. Tonight's live performance, music videos (featuring the blind Chapei
star Kong Nai) and Q&A with the artists is followed by the innovative
community video project "LAND LOST CULTURE LOST". The film tells the story
of a land dispute in Ratanakkiri though the eyes of ethnic Jarai villagers
from one of Cambodia's remotest areas. It's shot by the villagers and
screened in the original version with English subtitles.
* On Sunday, 6 PM, we are hosting a SPECIAL CHARITY ART AUCTION with
original works by German artist Herbert Mueller. The revenues will support a
project for children in Kandal province and Cambodian students from the
faculty of Medicine.
The auction is followed by the film "KANDAHAR" (2001, 82 min). It serves as
a timely memorial to the brutality of the Taliban regime. When a woman
receives a letter from her sister in Afghanistan which makes her think that
she is going to kill herself, she sets off on a perilous journey to the
country in search of her sibling.
