Don't miss this great documentary filmed in High Definition! IRIS CHANG
(2007, 135 min) by US filmmakers William Spahic and Anne Pick is about a
young woman's journey to bring one of the darkest chapters of history to
light. In 1937, the invading Japanese army murdered over 200,000 and raped
tens of thousands of Chinese. In 1997, American-Chinese writer Iris Chang
authored and published "The Rape of Nanking - The Forgotten Holocaust of
World War II" based on her parents' firsthand experiences and profound
research. Until her death due to suicide in 2004, Iris was always an
unflinching fighter for justice, truth and human rights.

largest internal migration in American history. Along the way they witness
the loss, dignity, perseverance and humor of people who have become exiles
in their own country. The breakdown of trust between a government and its
citizens, the influence of race, class, and gender form the backdrop for
this universal story of the search for home. (2007, 85mins). Also screening:

"A MOMENT IN JUNE":
IMPRESSIVE CROSSOVER OF CINEMA & STAGE
New Queer Cinema @ Meta House, recommended by film expert and
"Q-Film-Festival"-maker John Badalu: Beautifully composed and shot in sultry
colours, A MOMENT IN JUNE is steeped in the nostalgia of memory and of '70s
Thailand. Director O Nathaporn draws on his theater experience to devise an
impressive crossover of cinema and stage through a play-within-a-film (2008,
106mins). Set in 1999, it focuses on a theater director who's staging a play
about a love triangle that's set in 1972 in Bangkok. At the same time, he's
going through a breakup with his boyfriend. Reality and the stage play, and
the time between the decades artfully fold into each other.

IN MEMORY OF JOHN F. KENNEDY: "EXECUTIVE ACTION"
Today, 36 years ago, U.S. President John F. Kennedy was murdered. EXECUTIVE
ACTION (91mins) is an excellent 1973 feature film about his assassination,
written by Dalton Trumbo, Donald Freed and Mark Lane. Despite many
similarities with the plotline of Oliver Stone's "JFK", it presents a far
more direct and unemotional account of the Kennedy assassination than
Stone's film. The film was made in an almost documentary style, with the
presence of two big Hollywood names, Robert Ryan and Burt Lancaster. As a
cinematic appetizer we are also screening "Nov. 22 1963: In Search of
Answers" featuring interviews with cast and crew of this film.
