Qaraba was founded in 2012 in Prague by Yannis Karampatzias. He performs on a variety of Greek and Turkish traditional stringed instruments including saz baglama (taburas), lavta (Constantinople lute), tzuras and baglamas. In 2013 together with violinist Milan Jakes (CZ), guitarist Thomas Opata and Geraldine Baar on koboloi they formed the Qaraba Ensemble. The repertoire includes traditional folk music from the Asia Minor to the Black Sea focusing on melodies from Smyrna (Izmir) and Constantinople (Istanbul) of the early 1900’s, Rebetiko songs (undergound musical genre that was born at the end of the 19th century in hash dens and prisons of the Greek urban centers), Byzantine and Ottoman classical compositions emphasizing on the art of taxim (form of improvisation on non-occidental musical scales known as ‘makams/maqamat’).

Movie Night: Trafic (1971)
Sunday March 29th 2015. Movie Night: Trafic by Jacques Tati, 1971, 96 minutes. In French with English subtitles. Door opens at 8pm, film begins at 9pm. Free admission.
Trafic (Traffic) is a 1971 Italian-French comedy film directed by Jacques Tati.Trafic was the last film to feature Tati’s famous character of Monsieur Hulot, and followed the vein of earlier Tati films that lampooned modern society.
In Trafic, Hulot is a bumbling automobile designer who works for Altra, a Paris auto plant. He, along with a truck driver and a publicity agent, Maria, takes a new camper-car (designed by Hulot) to an auto show in Amsterdam. On the way there, they encounter various obstacles on the road. Some of the obstacles that Hulot and his companions encounter are getting impounded by Dutch customs guards, a car accident (meticulously choreographed by the filmmakers), and an inefficient mechanic. In the film, “Tati leaves no element of the auto scene unexplored, whether it is the after-battle recovery moments of a traffic-circle chain-reaction accident, whether it a study of drivers in repose or garage-attendants in slow-motion, the gas-station give-away (where the busts of historical figures seem to find their appropriate owners) or the police station bureaucracy.

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE IN WEST PAPUA
For decades West Papua’s tribal people have been killed, raped, arrested and tortured by Indonesian soldiers and police. The international community has done nothing to stop them. Indonesian president Joko Widodo (Jokowi), so-called Indonesian Obama, will not bring positive changes to Papuans, but death and destruction. Free West Papua Campaign is raising awareness about what is really happening in West Papua. Papuans are fighting for their survival as a people.

Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Nenette and Boni (1996)
Sunday March 22nd 2015, Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Nenette and Boni (1996). Directed by Claire Denis, 99 minutes. In French with English subtitles Free admission. Door opens at 20:00, Film starts at 21:00.
This is an early film by French film director Claire Denis (Beau Travail, 35 Rhum, White Material), but she already has her obscure and “difficult to pin down style” well defined. She is also already working with her long-time collaborator Agnes Godard who brings us the striking cinematography in this film, along with British band Tindersticks, who do the soundtrack.
As usual with her cinema, Claire Denis has the gift of taking us into uncharted territory, especially concerning the diverse and unusual connections between people. Although its about relationships, Nenette and Boni isn’t about sex or romance, however, but rather its about intimacy and bonding. It tells the story of a brother and sister who are the products of a broken home, who are torn apart. But when 15-year old Nenette escapes and turns up on her brothers doorstep, a journey begins which is the heart of this film.
In this movie director Denis’ penchant for elliptical story lines is more fluid and less fragmentary and jarring than in her later works. Set within a harsh urban decor, this film nevertheless is able to combine unsentimentality and lyricism. It also features a cameo role by the controversial Vincent Gallo. […Lees verder]

Thursday March 19th 2015, Benefit for Toca do Coelho, a self sustainable permaculture project in Portugal. Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm.
Toca do Coelho [http://tocadocoelho.eu/] is the expression of a grassroots movement, dedicated to improve the world. We aim to make parts of this world into a better and more sustainable place, through cooperation with nature and people. Small scale, with persistence and endless possibilities.
Toca do Coelho stands for a space where people, plants and animals can live happily together. We believe in diversity and cooperation with the surroundings, instead of exploitation. Working with nature has all kinds of definitions: eco-agriculture, agroforestry, permaculture, restorative agriculture, biological dynamic farming… One way or another, it is about establishing a mutually beneficial relation, for us and for nature.
