Concert with Monty Pagan Duo
Monday September 28th 2015, Concert with Monty Pagan Duo. Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm. Music directly after the food, around 8:30pm.
Ken Parsons on lead vocals, guitar and celtic harp is joined by Mick de Neeve on cello and vocals – the two have played for years on the circuit in Amsterdam and have a wild and eclectic range of songs, covers (both well known and obscure) and original songs. Sara Reith from Aberdeen has played fiddle and tin whistles in Monty Pagan for a few years. Ken and Sara perform Ceilidh sets at events like Burns Suppers so fans of traditional music can expect some great tunes. Rosy de Blecourt sometimes joins in on harp, saxophone and beautiful backing vocals but she is expecting her first child so she may be otherwise occupied. You can expect kicking dance ditties and exquisitely structured ballads from the new ‘Dealing with Demons’ CD. Mad stories, poems and comedy is also in the mix.
Ken Parsons is a Celtic Harper, singer and allround entertainer. What can you expect? Beautiful harp songs, deadly witty short poems and crafted original songs in every posible style, funny, moving, thought provoking” Ken is multi-instrumental and with 20 years of singing experience he has a powerful and versatile voice- you can detect his background as a trained choir singer in his more delicate emotional songs but the next minute you hear the raucous harsh, punk, rock and roll and comedy voice he perfected after years as busker and entertainer in pubs and clubs. His own songs are well honed and he does covers as they should be done. Few singers can match his delivery, diction and rapid fire lyricism. http://www.littleelfrecords.com/

Movie Night: The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orléans (2009)
Sunday September 27th 2015, Movie Night: The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orléans (Werner Herzog, 2009, fiction, 122 minutes). Door opens at 8pm, film begin at 9pm. Free admission.
Wonder of wonders: The Bad Lieutenant remake is not actually bad at all. German film-maker Werner Herzog has taken Abel Ferrara’s 1992 saga by the scruff of the neck, shifted the action from New York to New Orleans and cast Nicolas Cage in the old Harvey Keitel role, as a morally bankrupt law enforcer. The purists are raging and Ferrara is incensed. If ever a movie arrives hexed with dark voodoo, this movie is it.
And yet Herzog’s devil-may-care insouciance has paid off brilliantly. He does not retread Bad Lieutenant so much as reinvent it. Out goes Ferrara’s dark marinade of blood, semen and Catholic guilt. In comes an espresso of caffeine and amphetamines that, in its way, is just as effective. […Lees verder]

Iranian Movie night: At Five in the Afternoon (2003)
Sunday September 20th 2015, Iranian Movie Night: At Five in the Afternoon (Persian: پنج عصر, Panj é asr) by Samira Makhmalbaf, Iran, 2003, 106 min.). In Dari Persian with English subtitles. Door opens at 8pm, film begin at 9pm. Free admission.
It tells the story of an ambitious young woman trying to gain an education in Afghanistan after the defeat of the Taliban. The title comes from a Federico García Lorca poem and is a tale of flourishing against the odds. At Five in the Afternoon was the first film to be shot in Kabul after the NATO invasion.
After the fall of the Taliban regime, the schools again open their doors to girls. Nogreh (Agheleh Rezaie) dreams of liberation. She wants to become Head of State (following Benazir Bhutto’s example), in order to reform the status of the Afghan woman. But the girl and her family only meet misery and desolation in a country in ruins.
This third full-length film by the talented Iranian filmmaker is without question her most pessimistic. It’s the prolongation of the segment she directed within the framework of the collective film 11′ 09′ 01. It also echoes the film Kandahar, directed by her father.

Benefit for the legal costs for the 6 arrested people on June 13th
Thursday September 17th 2015, Benefit for the legal costs for the 6 arrested people on June 13th 2015. Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm.
Call for solidarity! In recent months a wave of repression has hit Spain. A package of laws, limiting basic human rights, including freedom of speech and freedom of assembly has been passed, the so-called ‘Ley Mordaza’ (‘gag law’). Two massive police operations, ironically named ‘Pandora’ and ‘Piñata’ have resulted in multiple arrests, house raids, confiscation of electronic equipment and several charges of terrorism. As a response, several anti-repression demonstrations have taken place, with the most recent resulting in 6 arrests and charges including civil disobedience and possession of explosives.
In addition to this, there has been a series of evictions of social centers and harassment from police, which has made fund raising all the more difficult. The situation has reached extremes in which, for example, anti-repression fund-raising accounts have been blocked. International solidarity is needed, especially at a financial level.
Nuestra mejor arma: La Solidaridad!
Abajo los muros de las prisiones!

Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: White Dog (1982)
Sunday September 13th 2015, Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: White Dog (1982). Directed by Samuel Fuller, 90 minutes, in English. High-definition screening. Free admission. Door opens at 20:00, Film starts at 21:00.
Back in the 80s this was a piece of cinematic dynamite. Just the premise of it sent shock waves through the film industry. Whats it about? It centers on a young girl who injures a stray dog, and takes it home to bring it back to health. Although its a beautiful dog, it does act strange at times. Soon she finds out that it is a “white dog”- a dog which has been programmed into attacking black people by a previous racist owner. That is the premise and the movie then goes into how to deal with the situation.
Adapted from a book by Romain Gary (to whom the picture is dedicated) and it based on a real life event that happened to his wife Jean Seberg. Originally Roman Polanski was signed up to direct it, but then he was forced to escape America after he was charged with a sex crime. So finally, six years later, it fell into the hands of the maverick director Samuel Fuller.
Once it was finished the studio felt it was too volatile and it was shelved (basically banned) so it wasn’t allowed to be screened in America. Director Fuller was pissed off and moved to France and never made another movie in America. It splits audiences like crazy… is it a well-made film or not? Is it racist or anti-racist? Its a controversial film that stirs up a wild discussion in any event. The music score is by Ennio Morricone. […Lees verder]
