    LIETUVOJE ĮGARSINTA KNYGA VISIEMS IR NIEKAM Lietuvos

    LIETUVOJE ĮGARSINTA KNYGA VISIEMS IR NIEKAM Lietuvos muzika ir Kūrybos Laisvė: džiazas, rokas ir eksperimentai. Išpažintys, interviu, analizė ir informacija Mindaugas Peleckis Lietuvos Respublika, radikaliai.lt, 2016 TURINYS Vietoje pratarmės. Ir kada gi jūs nustosite groti? Knyga, skatinanti optimizmą: Lietuvos muzika gerėja. Ar tikrai? Išvados Vietoje pratarmės. Ir kada gi jūs nustosite groti? Jei galite negroti, negrokite. Apie tuos, kurie negali, čia kalbėsime. Knyga, skatinanti optimizmą: Lietuvos muzika gerėja. Ar tikrai? Knyga sudaryta atsitiktinai renkantis jau parašytus tekstus. Kai kurie jų buvo publikuoti, o kiti dienos šviesos dar nematė. Knyga kalba apie minties laisvę, kurios esminė išraiška pasaulyje ir Lietuvoje yra menas, šiuo atveju – muzika. Per džiazą, roką ir eksperimentus, skaidant ir klasifikuojant juos pagal mikroerdves bei mikroepochas, knyga leis pajusti Kūrybos Laisvę tiek, kiek tai gali leisti padaryti tekstas. Knyga kalba apie Muziką ir tai, kas šalia jos. Teatrą, vaizdagarsį, garsų rinkimą, garso filosofiją. Knyga man ir tau, jam ir jai, vaikams, jauniems diedams ir seniams, veteranams ir naujokams. Knyga apie Lietuvą be garso ir su garsu. Garsų šukės, garsų kontūrai, garsų spalvos, balta muzika, garsai po smūgio, garsai be scenos, garso vaiduokliai, Lietuvos akustikai... Knyga skirta Kūrybos Laisvei. Nors jos autorius vienas, tačiau žmonių, kuriems norisi padėkoti, labai, labai daug. TEKSTAI Lietuvos kultūros mikroerdvės ir mikroepochos XX–XXI a. Alytus „Mikroerdvės ir mikroepochos“ ketina apžvelgti Lietuvos kultūros mikroerdves ir mikroepochas XX–XXI a. Dažniausiai kalba eis apie muziką, eksperimentinį meną, tačiau visko gali būti, kad nejučiom teks prisiliesti ir prie kitų kultūros aspektų. Kadangi mikroerdvės toli gražu nėra tokios mažos, kaip gali pasirodyti, pradėsiu nuo vienos vieno puikaus Lietuvos miesto grupės.

    Bamcinématek Presents Ghosts and Monsters: Postwar Japanese Horror, Oct 26—Nov 1 Highlighting 10 Tales of Rampaging Beasts and Supernatural Terror

    BAMcinématek presents Ghosts and Monsters: Postwar Japanese Horror, Oct 26—Nov 1 Highlighting 10 tales of rampaging beasts and supernatural terror September 21, 2018/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, October 26 through Thursday, November 1 BAMcinématek presents Ghosts and Monsters: Postwar Japanese Horror, a series of 10 films showcasing two strands of Japanese horror films that developed after World War II: kaiju monster movies and beautifully stylized ghost stories from Japanese folklore. The series includes three classic kaiju films by director Ishirô Honda, beginning with the granddaddy of all nuclear warfare anxiety films, the original Godzilla (1954—Oct 26). The kaiju creature features continue with Mothra (1961—Oct 27), a psychedelic tale of a gigantic prehistoric and long dormant moth larvae that is inadvertently awakened by island explorers seeking to exploit the irradiated island’s resources and native population. Destroy All Monsters (1968—Nov 1) is the all-star edition of kaiju films, bringing together Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah, as the giants stomp across the globe ending with an epic battle at Mt. Fuji. Also featured in Ghosts and Monsters is Hajime Satô’s Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell (1968—Oct 27), an apocalyptic blend of sci-fi grotesquerie and Vietnam-era social commentary in which one disaster after another befalls the film’s characters. First, they survive a plane crash only to then be attacked by blob-like alien creatures that leave the survivors thirsty for blood. In Nobuo Nakagawa’s Jigoku (1960—Oct 28) a man is sent to the bowels of hell after fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run that kills a yakuza.
