OCTOBER 2018

button-webThursday 4 October – 7:00 pm – CINEMA FROM PALESTINE/ISRAEL

Disturbing the Peace

Disturbing the Peace is a story of the human potential unleashed when we stop participating in a story that no longer serves us and, with the power of our convictions, take action to create new possibilities. The documentary follows former enemy combatants – Israeli soldiers from elite units and Palestinian fighters of whom many served in prison. They have joined together to challenge the status quo and say ‘enough!’.

The film reveals their transformational journeys from soldiers committed to armed battle to nonviolent peace activists, leading to the creation of Combatants for Peace.

AUGUST 2018

button-webThursday 30th August

The 30th of August marks the International Day of Enforced Disappearance.

It is estimated that alone in the time of the Maoist Insurgency in Nepal 1.300 people or more were disappeared. Therefore, the victims-movement and people in solidarity commemorate the 30th of August as a day of remembrance and advocacy to get to know the whereabouts of one’s loved ones.

We at NexUs are joining the families and activists by dedicating this day to screening short movies produced by the ICRC about enforced disappearance in Nepal and are inviting our guests to then join us and the families at a candle light vigil from 6.30 onwards close to Babarmahal.

Short films that day will be:

‘The Doll’s Funeral’ (2016 – 11 mins) about a mother of a missing daughter’s journey to visit her gravesite.

‘Nepal: the wait continues ’ (2009 – 15 mins) about the Jogimara families from Dhading, whose families members went to work at an airport in Kalikot and did not come back.

‘Nepal: Don’t go so far’(2013- 33 mins) – about the families of the 17 people from Jogimara, Dhading who were missing and their journey to Kalikot to the grave sites of their relatives.

NexUs Culture Nepal organises weekly movie nights around issues of social justice and with a focus on female-centred narratives. All movie nights are free of admission.

 

button-web23rd August – 07.00 pm – MOVIES FROM NEPAL

 

The Spirit doesn’t come anymore

 

The practice of shamans invoking spirits/protectors to ward off evil and cure disease has been a significant feature of Tibetan social life for over a millennium. Considered an inborn faculty that needs only awakening, and channeling, the shaman’s art survives through his son or daughter.

 

Pao Wangchuk, 78, is the thirteenth in an unbroken line of spiritual mediums, living and practicing his craft this side of the Himalaya in the Tibetan camp in Pokhara, Nepal. The source of the old man’s despair is Karma, his eldest son and heir-to-be, who may not be able to continue the family calling. Karma, like many youth of today, is given to drinking and easy life, and can’t live up to the demands of being a spiritual healer. Also that this extraordinary vocation, by today’s gauge, seems an altogether alien track for Karma. In the conflict between the father and son, Pao constantly complains that Karma is wasting away his life, and is worried that family lineage will die. But Karma doesn’t care. He resents, and is frustrated by, his father’s constant complaining and mistrust. His frustration even led him to a suicide attempt once.

International: Sita Sings the Blues

The ancient mythological and modern biographical plot are parallel tales, sharing numerous themes and is ‘a tale of truth, justice and a women’s cry for equal treatment’ in Nina Paley’s voice.

The story evolves around Rama and his wife Sita, who is being kidnapped by a demon king and banished by Rama after her return based on his suspicion that she was violated.

Thursday, 02.08.2018 from 07.00 pm onwards

The life, death and impact of Pakistan’s working-class icon Qandeel Baloch, killed in 2016 after
becoming a social media celebrity. This film tells Qandeel’s story through her own videos and media appearances. A young, fearless woman who collided with Pakistan’s mainstream media, Qandeel exposed the religious right and challenged middle-class morality. From her life before stardom in a rural village to her early days in entertainment as a model and actor, Qandeel gained attention by making provocative web videos. We get to know Qandeel through her family, admirers and those she interacted with and inspired. The film also analyses her life through the lens of class and power politics and connects it to women’s continuing struggle for self-expression in Pakistan.

Beatriz’s War

2013
98 Min

Directed by: Bety Reis & Luigi Acquisito

Beatriz’ War is the first feature film produced by Timor-Leste, one of the youngest nations of the world. Colonized by Portugal and further occupied by Indonesia for a bloody time of 24 years, Timorese fought for their independence through armed resistance, a clandestine movement and with the support of international solidarity until the infamous referendum in 1999. This led to a genocide leaving 70% of the country’s infrastructure destroyed and 1/3 of its population killed.

The movie follows the story Beatriz. A child when the Indonesians invade, she grows up under the occupation and looses her lover, Tomas, in a massacre which targets all men and boys of the village. 16 years later, though, he returns. Is it really him? Is he a spirit? A survivor? An impostor?

Though it is fiction, the movie references many moments of the country’s history, offers insights into violence perpetrated especially against women and girls and highlights the strength and courage of these women and girls in times of hardship.

After the movie Nivea Saldanha and Zulmira Pinto, two young Timorese women working in the areas of education and peace-building, will be available to answer questions about Timor-Leste’s past and present.

Duration: 84 Min.

Why do we try to avoid inevitable things?
Why do we cling to habits?anicca embracing changeको लागि तस्बिर परिणाम
Why do we find it so hard to have a healthy relationship with change?

Most of us struggle with things that we cannot change as well as with things which we can change. Trying to discover why we are this way, author Claus Mikosch went on a journey. He travelled to four different countries and talked to eight very different people: A mother, a school teacher, a rapper, a Buddhist, a yoga teacher, a clown, an ex-banker turned sailor and a funeral celebrant.

Anicca is a very personal, honest and inspirational documentary about key issues regarding our struggle with change: fear, courage, trust and the big challenge of accepting reality as it is.

The film takes a critical look at our tendency to cling to the familiar and shows that everything is impermanent, that nothing ever stays the same. To face the unknown, to create a better world and become happy we must, as people and as a society, learn to EMBRACE CHANGE!

Director: Tsering Rhitar

karma-journey to consciousnessको लागि तस्बिर परिणाम

Nepali and Tibetan with English subtitles 126 min

A small film could not have a bigger philosophical question: what is more important, inner development or outward social action?

In a nunnery in the high desert mountains of Mustang, a revered abbess dies, leaving signs that she will be reborn in the precious human form. Prayers and ritual must be done to help her consciousness into its next rebirth, but the nunnery coffers are empty. The senior nuns decide that the only way out is get back money loaned out by the nunnery.

The two nuns assigned the mission to retrieve the money are Karma, a free-spirited nun, and her opposite, a textbook-sort of nun called Sonam.

Mongolia is not a country we hear very much about in Nepal, so here is a unique opportunity to discover two major aspects of that country: the wide steppe on the trail of Genghis Khan, and the urban transformation in the capital Ulaan Bator with two half-hour documentaries.

tim cope#1: Tim Cope: On the trail of Genghis Khan (2010)
English – 28min

In June 2004 Tim set off on an epic journey, 10,000km from Mongolia to Hungary by horse – a journey that eventually took him more than three years and led him on a deep journey into the fabric of nomad society on the Eurasian steppe.

Accompanied by his Kazakh dog, Tigon – Tim learnt to fend off wolves and would-be horse-thieves, and grapple with the extremes of the steppe as he crossed sub-zero plateaux, the scorching deserts of Kazakhstan and the high-mountain passes of the Carpathians.

This is the presentation Tim gave to a National Geographic Live event.

#2: Out Of Steppe: Mongolia’s Economic Boom Is Leaving Many Behind (2014)
OOS-smEnglish- 28min

Mongolia is powering into huge economic growth and each year, more than 50,000 people leave the steppe to settle in neighborhoods surrounding the capital Ulaan Bator. However with this shift come great concerns over identity and wealth inequality, as many Mongolians are left behind.

Of 3 million Mongolians, half live in the capital; there has been a rural exodus since a new consumerist way of life has emerged. While many have prospered as Mongolia grows rich, from globalisation, and inward investment, wealth inequality is extreme “with one third under the poverty level”.

Machhendranath is a multiple award-winning film directed by Kesang Tseten. Every 12 years, impassioned devotees pull a 65-feet tall unwieldy chariot, its rider an enigmatic god, on a month-long journey through the Kathmandu Valley.

The enterprise calls for extreme cooperation and rigorous observance of ritual in the building, sanctification and pulling of the chariot. But the jatra (festival) is an arena of gritty reality, where participants vie for everything from a share of ritual meat to status and proximity to the god.

The chariot teeters, as does the community, between chaos and order, conflict or solidarity. Thus, every 12 years, the same question: will the journey succeed?
