Theaterstraat, rise from the ashes together!

Monday August 25th 2014: Benefit for ‘Theaterstraat, rise from the ashes together!’, Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm.

Another Theaterstraat Benefit dinner!

On December 2nd 2013 a big fire burned the warehouse of the TheaterStraat collective to the ground. TheaterStraat is well-known for their support during demonstrations and events with their iconic yellow-red stage truck, but also provides transportation with their coaches, logistical support and loads more for diy activist and cultural events.

The trucks and coaches were saved, but all the rest is gone (sound equipment, stage lighting, mixing desks, the tents, containers, tools, the ware-house, the office and so on and so forth. A big mess and an awfull damage and loss!

Thanks to the hands and donations of many, a part of the warehouse and some of the technical equipments is by now cleaned, recovered or replaced. People are still rebuilding, a 5th of the damage got covered by the transport insurance, and an alternative revolutionary crowd funding and other donations also brought in money, so that now half of is covered – but still more is needed.

Therefore, a comité “Help Theaterstraat uit de Brand” together with Paradiso organise a benefit party at Paradiso on Sunday 31st of August with acts of De Kift, The Ex, Kalio Gayo, Fanfare van de Eerste Liefdesnacht and DJ kollectief Kansloos & Schuifdicht, where also burned art and foto’s from the damage will be auctioned. Come all!

This dinner tonight at Joes hopefully makes a small contribution as well. Come and EAT!

Movie Night – A Time for Drunken Horses (2000)

By: ready - August 16th, 2014  Filed under: Events, Filmavond

Sunday August 17th 2014. A Time for Drunken Horses by Bahman Ghobadi, 2000, 85 minutes. Door opens at 8pm, film begins at 9pm.

Kurdish Iranian filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi grew up during the devastating Iran-Iraq War, which killed several of his relatives. After starting out in photography, he began attracting attention in his twenties from his short documentary films about Kurdish life. After serving as Abbas Kiarostami’s assistant director on The Wind Will Carry Us (Bād Mā-ra- Khāhad Bord, 1997), he expanded the theme of one of his short documentary films, Life in Fog, to make his first feature film, A Time for Drunken Horses (Zamani Barayé Masti Asbha, 2000). The film, about the harsh circumstances of an impoverished Kurdish family near the Iran-Iraq border where the local economy subsists around the dangerous smuggling trade, was an immediate sensation and multi-award winner, including the FIPRESCI critics prize and the Camera D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Violence as narrative function or, some thoughts on why HELI divides critics

By Niamh Thornton

Foremost in reviews of Heli (Amat Escalante, 2013) is the film’s violence. On its Cannes premiere, negative and positive reviewers alike based their assessment on its ability to convince with its realism, and on whether the torture scene at its centre is justified and/or realistic. Like Escalante’s previous feature film, Los Bastardos (2008), Heli is slow moving. Violence when it happens does so at a pace that appears mundane, sudden, and banal. Like the reviewers, I have just used violence here to mean the explicit enactment of physical brutality by one human on another, the portrayal of which is frequently a controversial field in cinema, but difficult to define or delimit. What makes a violent film is often subjective – that is, what the viewer’s level of tolerance is towards it – and value judgements arise which lay claim to objectivity over whether it appears gratuitous, in other words, superfluous to the plot and thereby lacking narrative function. So, does Heli pass muster?
