and DJ Nam spinning live tunes. From 9pm onwards, DJ Radioactive Anne

Celebrating 10 years of café, art and community. Java, your café.
Ever since opening in 2000, our goal at Java Café& Gallery has been
to innovate, aiming to offer quality food and show contemporary art in
a relaxed and friendly context. The biggest compliments you could pay
us have always been that you had lingered over a good meal because you
felt right at home or that you had found an artwork on display amazing
or challenging.
For Java Café& Gallery, quality and comfort go hand in hand, which
has meant providing customers with seating areas in which they would
feel welcome to spend hours, and serving food and drinks made from
scratch with the freshest ingredients.
With a program ranging from exhibitions and artist talks to fashion
shows and live poetry, Java enjoys linking art and entertainment in
provocative and exciting events that promote the arts and offer
opportunities for expression.
Over the last 10 years, Java has held nearly 100 shows featuring both
Cambodian and international artists, and has accumulated in the
process a vast documentation that include artists' biographies and
photos of their artworks. Those archives will soon be donated to the
Bophana Audivisual Resource Centre in Phnom Penh to give students and
anyone interested in specific artists or the evolution of visual arts
in the country access to this detailed record.
To celebrate those 10 years of creative efforts, we are offering ten
special promotions, a night of live music and poetry and the chance to
view three special exhibitions:
-- From 10am to 10pm on December 10, 2010, we invite everyone to take
advantage of our ten promotions.
-- On the same evening starting at 7pm, we will have a special "On
The Spot" open mic with Berkavitch featuring international and local
acts and DJ Nam spinning live tunes.
-- And from 9 pm onwards, DJ Radioactive Anne will bring on the night
vibe.
--On display will be two photo exhibitions held as part of Photo Phnom
Penh festival organized by the French Cultural Center, and artworks
from Phare Ponleu Selpak's students and artists featuring in an
auction supported by JavaArts.
During those events, the café's upstairs and downstairs areas as
well as jGALLERY will be open, and anyone will be welcome to drop by,
be it for a quick look or for the duration.
It has been an exciting 10 years: Come and celebrate with us!!!

More infos below:

HERBERT VON KARAJAN, SCHUMANN AND "THE TENTH DANCER"
6.30PM: Austrian Herbert von Karajan (1908 –1989) was described as "the world's best-known conductor and one of the most powerful figures in classical music". In the mid-1960's Karajan collaborated with French film director, Henri-Georges Clouzot. The documentary ART OF CONDUCTING (1965, 90min) follows the rehearsal and the performance of Robert Schumann's "Symphony No.4".
8PM: Khmer Arts Ensemble presents the film "The 10th Dancer" with an introduction by Toni Phim-Shapiro. The riveting documentary is an intimate portrait of the relationship between a teacher and her pupil set against the backdrop of war torn Cambodia. The film weaves between the past and the present, memory and dream, to reveal a story of human dignity and survival.
* WED, 08/12
DEATH AND REBIRTH: CAMBODIA'S PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
6PM: "Komitu" is an architectural workgroup from Helsinki, Finland. Its members are currently designing a youth center in Phnom Penh in collaboration with a local NGO, Cambodian Volunteers for Society
(CVS). They will hold a presentation for local students and architects, as well as the expat community.
7PM: The first documentary film (1979, 90min) after the Khmer Rouge was 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.

Gig Guide of Cambodia - Thursday the 2nd of December, 2010
From:
Leng Pleng Administrator <lengplengadmin@bongthom.com>Subject: Gig Guide of Cambodia - Thursday the 2nd of December, 2010
| Hey, The gig guide has a slightly new look now - I have split the gigs into sections that are entitled by the day of the week and the date - I hope it is an improvement. The live music scene is not only expanding in terms of the number of bands but also in area. This week sees gigs in Siem Reap, Kep, and Kampot. The Kampot gig is the outdoor concert put on by the Cambodian Space Project. The concert will occur at the village of Seyma (just over the river from the main town not far from the Boddhi Villa) and will involve the band plus an array of other singers and performers spanning the afternoon and deep into Saturday night and Sunday morning. If you are needing transport down there then a bus has been arranged which will leave from the riverfront (in front of La Croisette) at 9:00AM on Saturday morning and return by 6:00PM the following day. In Siem Reap this weekend you can catch not only the half-marathon but also Phil Manning who will be at the FCC Angkor and Los Poporks who will be playing on pub street in front of the Banana Leaf. They should be two totally great gigs and I urge you to catch them if you are a local live music enthusiast or if up there for Sunday's run. At Robiep continue their tour of Cambodia in Kep at the Kukuluku Bar and hopefully might make an appearance at the outdoor concert in Kampot - since it is only just down the road ;o). Other great gigs this weekend include the Bluesberry Jam who will make their return gig at MetaHouse. Also, if you are in Phnom Penh over the weekend then you can catch the Stiff Little Punks at The Cavern as their expanded line-up is being filmed by a German TV crew for a documentary. The FCC Phnom Penh and Chow continue their support of the live music scene with a series of 7 gigs for December. Cool! If it is a great DJ party you are looking for then Rubies Masked Mischief party with Dr. Wah Wah will be totally worth catching on Saturday night.

The Traveling Medicine Show: Concert/Exhibit at Meta (Fri, from 6PM)
Tonite (Thursday, 7Pm) we like to invite you to the screening of "CAMBODIA: THE VIRGINITY TRADE" (2009, 60mins) and "THE GIRLS OF PHNOM PENH" (2009, 52 mins) by UK filmmaker Matthew Watson. They are the compelling and utterly alarming account of the lives of girls and women affected by the virginity trade that exists in Cambodia today.
*****
Attention, music lovers! This Friday (3rd) at 8PM we are hosting an exclusive live concert by the American band BLUESBERRY JAM in cooperation with Kingdom Breweries. Their "TRAVELING MEDICINE SHOW" features upbeat songs from the tradition of Folk, Blues, Jazz, and other "Roots" music.
Medicine Shows were a popular form of entertainment all throughout America during the 1800's and the precursor to later traveling circuses, carnivals and vaudeville shows. "Patented" herbal potions were pedalled by unscrupulous salesmen, which gave rise to the infamous "Snake Oil Sellers" who flourished during this era. A collection of laminated vintage "Medicine Show" posters is on display in our "Art Café" from 6PM.
We hope to see you there,
best, Nico Mesterharm
