<-- back The planet of slums whose other half we inhabit may have a hundred words for  misery, yet none of them conveys the full horror of what cinema usually makes  of it: a parade of victims, a spectacle of empathy, a self-fulfilling prophecy that claims, comfortingly, that none of what can be seen can ever be imagined.  Enter Khavn, who, five minutes into any of his films, will not only have made a  complete and compelling argument for the power of imagination, inventiveness,  exaggeration and bad taste, but also deliver a fully plausible demonstration of  how to make engaged cinema in a slum: simply by engaging the slum. And what he  engages the slum in turns out to be one of the most truthful parodies of mondo  filmmaking in recent memory, where the genre-specific boundaries of horror,  exploitation, science fiction, musical, queer cinema and political documentary  don't "blur", but in fact quite sharply align with the limits of the territory,  where each genre-bending turn of events traces an actual social bifurcation (*). It's still "trash", but in a fashion that hopefully increases the appreciation  of trash as material, resource, habitat, system, principle and philosophy. (*) "Most commonly applied to the mathematical study of dynamical systems, a  bifurcation occurs when a small smooth change made to the parameter values  [...] of a system causes a sudden qualitative or topological change in its  behaviour." (according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifurcation_theory) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------                                                                           first:                                                                     squatterpunk                                                                khavn 2007 79 min                                                                            then:                                                                      mondomanila                                                                khavn 2010 72 min                                                                  before & after:                                                                         edsa xxx                                                                khavn 2012 85 min                                                                           sunday                                                                         august 2                                                                             9 pm                                                             prⅳate cinema berlin                                                                 saal 2 kreuzberg                                                                 u kottbusser tor                                                                   12 seats, rsvp                                                           first come first serve                                                        location in separate mail                                                                        trailers:                                       www.piratecinema.org/trailers/#20150802-01                                       www.piratecinema.org/trailers/#20150802-02 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------          ()          >< prⅳate cinema berlin www.piratecinema.org <-- back
