Time : 5:30 pm & 7:30 pm (
)
Entry : Free (Seating on First-Come First-Served basis)
Event Details : 'La Terre des Ames Errantes / The Land of Wandering Souls' film screening.
In 1999, the works for the installation of an optical fiber cable have crossed Cambodia. This information highway should join the one that, following the Silk Road, is connecting Europe to China.
It will thus be one of the many crossroads for Internet and telecommunication networks from which we often perceive only the virtual side.
Those works involve the excavation of a one meter deep trench from the Thai to the Vietnamese border, to bury the cable barely bigger than a thumb. This is the opportunity for many Cambodians - poor farmers, demobilized soldiers, destitute families – to find work. The trench goes trough mines and the haunting presence of millions of dead people whose souls “wander”, harassing survivors, in the absence of proper graves. Throughout this digging with a pick, a hoe or hands, the film shows the fear of continuing to work while undergoing daily economic violence.
Director : Rithy Panh
Year : 2000
Duration : 100 min
Ciné-Club July: Work & Alienation : According to Karl Marx, “the production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.” The rigorous study of capitalism by the German philosopher has durably established that mass production is inextricably linked with the alienation of workers. Some communist filmmakers like Eisenstein or Giuseppe de Santis have brilliantly shown this process in the past. Today the
situation of labor world is less comparable to a “class struggle”, but the problems of domination and pain in workplaces are still very topical.
Our selection of films for the month of July will present four stories of people reacting in many different ways to unbearable conditions of work, finding more or less violent solutions, but always revealing a deep crisis, both individual and general, filmed in many different genres, from dark humor to thriller.
