Violent Night subtitles English
Nick's ultimate dream is to find a way to become human once again, but his quest for redemption is complicated by the arrival of fellow vampires Lucien LaCroix and Janette DuCharme. Lucien LaCroix, who was a general in the early Roman Empire, and who was turned into a vampire by his daughter Divia as Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD, originally made Nick a vampire in 1228. Janette was also 'brought across' by LaCroix, before he brought Nick across. They were Nick's companions for many centuries until he left them, seeking redemption and a way to reclaim his lost humanity. Janette now runs a night club, while LaCroix works as a late-night talk radio host. While Janette is scornful yet tolerant of Nicholas's new lifestyle, LaCroix actively attempts to seduce his protégé back to a more violent life.

January 9 A Touch of Sin (Tian zhu ding) (China 2013) 133 min.Mandarin and Cantonese with English subtitles [IMAGE]Winner of best screenplay at Cannes, this beautiful, violent film has yet to screen in the director's native land. No kidding! The film comprises four short stories, each spinning a brutal take on modern-day China. Each story directly reflects Jia's view of the current culture of greed and selfishness. He has been deemed one of the world's most important filmmakers, and it's easy to see why. The film is gorgeously shot, highly stylized, a cinephile's dream, but it is also compellingly focused on the contradictions of the land of dragons and emperors. Bound by centuries of formal tradition, today's China is also obsessed with a manic thirst for material success. Based on the true stories the director scoured on the internet, the film is shockingly dark and angry. Yes, it contains scenes of astonishing but highly stylized violence. Official China paints one story. This film gets at something beneath that picture. It ain't always pretty, but that's the point.
March 13 The Past (Le passé) (France/Italy 2013) 130 min.French and Persian with English subtitles [IMAGE]Arguably the most flawless film in this winter series, THE PAST is perfect. Remember Farhadi's A SEPARATION? Well, this is as good if not even better in the emotion realism department. It features an Iranian who returns to France to give his French wife the divorce she seeks. Not so simple. Marie has two children from a previous marriage, one of whom is a dangerously surly teenager. The estranged husband seeks to make nice in and with the family but his arrival sets off a string of accidents and disclosures. Marie is involved with another guy and he, too, has so much baggage he can barely get through the door. And of doors there are many. THE PAST is about all that historical weight, as well as about cultural displacement, family dynamics, generational shift, and urban reality. It's a complicated, subtle and brilliantly nuanced story—at once intense and familiar. Bejo's Cannes-award-winning performance is also worth the whole night off. Unbelievably good.
Divided into six chapters, the film is framed by the murder of Mahatma Gandhi in 1948. This act of violence was so profound, its portent and poignancy remain undiminished 50 years later. As a child filmmaker Patwardhan was immersed in the non-violent Gandhian movement. Because of this he, in WAR AND PEACE, examines India's trajectory towards naked militarism with sorrow, although along the way the film captures joyful stories of courage and resistance. Amongst these chapters is a visit to the "enemy country" of Pakistan, where, contrary to expectations, Indian delegates are showered by affection, not only by their Pakistani counterparts in the peace movement, but by ordinary citizens who declare without caution that "hate is the creation of politicians." WAR AND PEACE examines not merely the militarization of India, but analyzes the human cost that is extracted from its citizens in the name of 'National Security.' From the plight of residents living near the nuclear test site, and the horrendous effects of uranium mining on local indigenous populations, it becomes clear that, contrary to a myth first created in the U.S., there is no such thing as the "peaceful Atom." Scientific research has been hijacked by the war machine, only a handful of practitioners remind us of its potential to fulfill the genuine needs of the people. Going beyond the story of South Asia, WAR AND PEACE follows the extraordinary visit of Japanese Atom Bomb survivors after the Indian and Pakistani nuclear tests. Their visit becomes the impetus for a re-examination of events that led to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Were these bombs necessary? American historians who recently curated an exhibit about this issue for the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC were amazed to find their voices suppressed. WAR AND PEACE slips seamlessly from its analysis of homemade jingoism to focus on how an aggressive United States has become a Foreign Relations role model. The unofficial U.S. doctrine of 'Might Makes Right' is only too well absorbed and emulated by aspiring Third World elites. As we enter the 21st century, enemies are being re-invented, economies are inextricably tied to the production and sale of weapons, and in the moral wastelands of the world, war has become perennial. Memories of Gandhi seem like a mirage that never was, created by our thirst for peace and our very distance from it. "The film itself is a tour de force, beautifully shot and often darkly funny and much more riveting than the dry subject matter might suggest." - Duncan Campbell, The Guardian "We should listen to our voices of dissent for our own sake and for that of our children and their children. WAR AND PEACE is that voice's most eloquent expression. Which is why it should be seen by everyone everywhere. In schools, in colleges, in factories, on television. Urgently and often." - The Times of India "Perhaps the most important film in this year's Berlin Film Festival." - Reuters __________________________________________________ 3.

The Iraqi National Museum Project ? Istvan At 16 Beaver St. 5th Floor This proposed installation at 16beavergroup is an attempt to organize an art show of the same title . The concept for the installation refers to the well-publicized fact that the Irqi National Museum was looted (disabled as an cultural institution) as a result of the war. The destruction of the museum is posited here as a metaphor for the war itself , which calls into question the aesthetics of the media's representation of the same war. The project refers to the state of the museum in the present , an empty space waiting to be reorganized. The I. N. M.P. appropriates the name of the museum to generate contemporary art in New York City . The installation will include: 1, A laptop wil be set up with the search term Iraqi National Museum in Google. Simultananeously the pages of the search result are projected in the main area. 2, In the main space will be a large open container with the title: Iraqi National Museum Project and a sign rading in English and Arabic: Any artifacts submitted to the I. N. M. P. will be accepted here, No Questions Asked! (the idea for the I.N.M. P. collection bin was suggested by David Robinson and was the first step in the development of this project) ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 4. Operation Marmalade At 16 Beaver St. 5th Floor Dear Operation How Now Wow I'd like to present Operation Marmalade, a cooking performance, in conjunction with your event April 26. A brief explanation is below Operation Marmalade : Relieving Cultural Indigestion Through Strategic Cuisine Marmalade is a collaboration of cultures. Arabs in the south of Spain grew Seville oranges for the medicinal properties of their skin. Spain shipped those oranges to the UK where James Keillor, a grocer in Dundee Scotland bought a bargain load which he was unable to sell because of their bitter taste. His wife chopped them up skin included and made preserves which she called marmalade. This product identified by the strips of peel in the jam, is now appreciated worldwide, the astringent in the skin is said to help digestion. Operation Marmalade is the first phase in recuperating the equilibrium necessary to be a global community. I will make marmalade using a camping stove, and toast if I have access to an outlet. Otherwise I?ll use the variety of breads that celebrates the cultural diversity of New York. I'll be decorated with info promoting cultural collaboration and will present a platform for sustaining the operation. The jars that have already been prepared for Bush and the 21 members of his cabinet will be on display. Materials: Cooking (camping stove, pot, wooden spoon, knife, toaster, oranges, sugar, bread) and Graphics (signs, labels). Preparation: Military.
