'BURMA VJ. REPORTING FROM A CLOSED COUNTRY': Andreas' invitation

As the cherry on top for the Reality cycle, this week there will be the screening of the award-winning documentary Burma VJ.

This is what Andreas Schuck has to say about it:

Since I suggested the movie and am very excited about it, I of course hope that many of you will be able to come. I am also happy to announce that we will also have an interesting guest who will join us tomorrow and give an introduction to the movie, ready to answer your questions: Rob Brouwer, filmmaker and head of the audiovisual department of Amnesty International in The Netherlands, whose family stems from Burma and who is a specialist on human rights issues and journalism practice and has longstanding experience in training journalists (also in Burma). He was supposed to be on his way to Thailand tomorrow but thanks to volcano Eyjafjallajökull's activity he will be joining us instead. Thus, I am looking forward to an interesting session, with lots and lots of questions and an interesting, stimulating debate. Hope to see you all!

Remember that next week we start off a new cycle. Its name will be Dislocation to give room to varied approaches on personal disconnection in different social environments.

We need one more proposal to go. C'mon, help your Film Club round off its cycle of four!!
