CINEMA DERIVE
The Holy Mountain THE HOLY MOUNTAIN
Directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky, Chile, 1973.

Finally the new Jodorowsky-approved HD transfer of this film is out!

Alejandro Jodorowsky stars as The Alchemist in this psychedelic masterpiece about the search for enlightenment. Fusing together many of his previously investigated themes, The Holy Mountain catalogues a religious icon's surreal journey through magical realms that both mirror reality and verge on the psychotic. Financed entirely by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, The Holy Mountain is a more associative, more abstract, and better version of El Topo, which also features a protagonist searching for his soul. Completely original in its blend of Mexican magical surrealism and peace-inducing, humorous commentary on Latin American colonialism and the idiocy of war, Holy Mountain is one of the most outlandish examples of avant-garde filmmaking. Wonderfully colorful sets, zany characters in costumes straight out of the subconscious, and an inspired soundtrack, reinforce this absurdist statement about death and rebirth. The Holy Mountain is not only a masterpiece, it's a spiritual journey, and it just might very well change the way you look at the world. Not everyone will like it, so sit back and watch with an open mind. The Holy Mountain is one of the most underrated and important films ever made.

301 LIVE!
301 Live MARIJN SLAGER
Meestal is Marijn te bewonderen door het hele land als frontman van de rockband NuffSaid en anders speelt hij wel ergens met The Oscars maar deze keer staat ie in z'n eentje bij ons met een akoestische gitaar. Er zullen ongetwijfeld wat nr's van z'n band voorbij komen maar voornamelijk een hoop persoonlijk werk.

GHOST IN MY BASEMENT [USA]
Deze bizarre muzikant uit New York komt solo langs met een vreemde vorm van blues. Zoals hij zelf zegt is het een soort minimal blues maar zonder de cliché-riff's.

STEED
Eindelijk weer eens een verfrissend Nederlands pop/rock bandje dat het recht heeft zo veel mogelijk te spelen. Duidelijk beïnvloed door allerlei verschillende muzikale kanten maar goed verwerkt in catchy eigen nummer's.

JOOST!
Kiekeboe...!?

SPROCKET SOUNDS
Sprocket Sounds

A 8mm/16mm celluloid evening of short films.

Een nieuwe voorstelling, met natuurlijk weer een nieuwe selectie films! Met bijzondere dank aan Koos Breukel, die met een aantal prachtige films kwam. De nadruk ligt dit keer op landbouw in de ruimste zin. Prachtige instructiefilms voor bijvoorbeeld Der BergBauer in de Beiersche Alpen. Deel 1 uit 1930, en deel 2 uit 1976. Landje ruilen in een gehucht in Italië in 1950. Hoe werkt een tractor, als je een paard gewend bent? Een nieuwe aflevering van de voorlichting voor de Lagere Landbouwschool in Holland uit 1954.

Maar er is meer, veel meer. Zoals: Het Leven van de Das. De Das is een gezellig beest, die zijn huisje elk jaar van een nieuw dekbed voorziet. Je wordt bijna jaloers. Prachtige z/w beelden uit 1950, echt prachtig.

Als de tijd het toelaat: Nog wat nuttige informatie uit 1965 over LSD, alcohol, marihuana, speed en dat soort gevaarlijke dingen. Een krankzinnige promotiefilm uit de USA over 'Chemie'. Hoe erg 'over-the-top' kun je het maken vraag je je weleens af. Ook is er een nieuwe zending onderweg vanuit Littleton, Colorado. Sprocket Sounds blijft je verrassen!

TELEVISED POLITICS
Rupert Murdoch OUTFOXED: RUBERT MURDOCH'S WAR ON JOURNALISM
Directed by Robert Greenwald, USA, 2004.

"Fair and balanced" is the slogan with which US Fox News Channel promotes itself as an objective information service. This skilfully produced documentary proves it is anything but. Mind-blowing investigation on how news can be skewed to serve political agendas, giving an in-depth view on the sinking standards of television journalism.
Hugo Chavez THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
Directed by Kim Bartley + Donnacha O'Briain, Ireland, 2002.

The political power of Venezuelan private TV Channels reached its highpoint during the attempted coup on 11th April 2002 by broadcasting distorted and false information to the public. Two independent filmmakers were inside Venezuela's presidential palace when Hugo Chavez was forcibly removed from office, only to return to power 48 hours later. Their film records what was probably history"s shortest-lived coup d'etat ever.

SQUAT CINEMA
5 1/2 ROOFS
Directed by Sepp R. Brudermann, UK, 2006.

According to Section 6 of the Criminal Law Act 1977 the occupation of empty property in the UK is not illegal. In London there are more than 13,000 people living in squats. With a poetic and sympathetic eye this film shows 6 episodes of 6 different London based squats and their inhabitants. 6 stories of the struggles and joys of life of the city, which is usually hidden to us.
Amsterdam Squat TABLE, BED, CHAIR
Directed by Robert Hack + Jakob Proyer, 2006.

An independently produced documentary about squatting in Amsterdam. In the Netherlands the practice of occupying empty houses in order to use them as living spaces has been tolerated since the late 1960s. Whereas the movement's heyday in the 1980s is history by now, the everlasting housing shortage is still striking as a basic condition for squatting. As well as the exceptional legal situation within the Netherlands, the autonomous structures of the squatter's community are addressed. By means of interviews and gazing actions a glance is thrown at today's squatting practices.

*** Both tonight's films are being screened for the first time in the Netherlands ***
