Monday July 29th 2013, Paris suburbs’ squat “Le transfo” benefit and infonight, Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm.

The transformer is a space occupied since November 14, 2012. This place nearly one hectare owned by EDF has been empty for several years. EDF is a dirty business that extorts every home selling nuclear energy which poisons our lives. It also speculates on the property. Given the logic of money we invest collectively this place on non-commercial basis. We would talk on july about paris suburbs’ squat “Le Transfo (http://transfo.squat.net/), and possibly, if needed, more widely about the squats situation in France. […Lees verder]

Thirteen males, seven of whom were teenagers, died immediately or soon after, while the death of another man four-and-a-half months later was attributed to the injuries he received on that day. Two protesters were also injured when they were run down by army vehicles. Five of those wounded were shot in the back.

Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Who’ll stop the rain (1978)

By: börek - July 1st, 2013  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday July 21th 2013, Movie night. Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema by Jeffrey Babcock. Door open at 20:00, film begin at 21:00

 Who’ll stop the rain (Karel Reisz, USA, 1978, 126 min.) In English

Hey, what ever happened to all those powerful films that came out in the 60s and 70s which have totally disappeared….. and why have they been killed off? Based on Robert Stone’s Award-winning novel “Dog Soldiers”, “Who’ll Stop the Rain” is both a great thriller and a meditation on the chaos and disillusionment of the Vietnam war era in America. The film centers on a journalist called Converse (Michael Moriarty) who went to Vietnam looking for a heroic story but instead finds only madness and abject fear. He also discovers that, in a world where nothing makes sense, people are just naturally going to want to get high. So rather than getting a story, he instead gets involved in the heroin market, and attempts to head an operation to smuggle drugs back into the United States…. and that’s where the story really kicks off. The film encapsulates the end of the 60s, employing the novel’s biting, cynical perspective on the despair and chaos surrounding both the war in Vietnam and the end of the counter-cultural revolution after Charles Manson and Altamont.

Psychedelic Film Night: Barbarella (1968)

By: börek - July 1st, 2013  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday July 14th 2013, Psychedelic Film Night: Barbarella (Roger Vadim, France, 1968, 98 min.) English. Door open at 8pm, film begin at 9pm.

1968 is well known for its revolutionary fever, but less so for its plastic cinematic futurism. Both Roger Vadim’s science-fiction tale Barbarella (1968) and Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) present us with their visions of the future, and in the words of The Graduate (1967): that future is “Plastics”. The heroine (Jane Fonda) is a liberated space goddess of the 41st century, who is assigned by the President of Earth (Claude Dauphin) to retrieve Doctor Durand Durand (Milo O’Shea) from the planet Tau Ceti. Durand Durand is the inventor of the Positronic Ray, a weapon. Earth is now peaceful, and to stop these weapons falling into the wrong hands, Barbarella sets out to find the scientist and save the world. That is, until she crashes on Tau Ceti.
Barbarella was described by Roger Vadim as “a kind of sexual Alice in Wonderland of the future”. The outfits, as much as the kitsch furnishings, are incredible – and created by Spanish fashion designer Paco Rabanne using rhodoid (an unusual plastic made from purified cellulose), which was both silky and pliable. Much of this cultural forecasting now looks wonderfully out-of-date. Cultural evolution has accelerated so quickly that a 1960’s vision of the 41st century looks remarkably like 1968. […Lees verder]
