Y/OUR MUSIC (82 min / Thailand / 2014)
Directed by David Reeve & Waraluck Hiransrettawat Every
Y/OUR MUSIC immerses itself in the world of Thai musical expressions, from traditional music to labor songs and classical pop to urban indie music, spanning different locales and generations.
As nine musicians display their musical expression, the rural or urban environments that influenced their sound are also explored. The hands that play traditional instruments amid the red dust clouds, the work songs being hummed in front of grains awaiting harvest, and the indie music born out of concrete basements – all create a melodious ecosystem, captured in a sensory journey from the noisy polluted streets of Bangkok to the calm, arid fields of Isan (the country’s northeastern region bordering Laos and Cambodia).
While inhabiting different worlds, the musicians are linked by the same passion to bring their artistic aspirations to the fore and survive outside the pop mainstream.

“Encounter” presents lectures by urbanist Marco Kusumawijaya
Lecture “Community as an alternative way of life towards ecological sustainability”: Tue 23 Jun 2015, 6.30 pm
Lecture “Arts and community: What next?”: Thu 25 Jun 2015, 6.30 pm
Room Marie Curie (6F), Hoa Sen University
8 Nguyen Van Trang, Dist 1, HCMC
 ‘Encounter’ presents Marco Kusumawijaya with two lectures on Tuesday, 23 June and Thursday, 25 June 2015. Marco Kusumawijaya is an architect and urbanist. He studied at Parahyangan University in Bandung (Indonesia), and at the University of Leuven, in Leuven (Belgium).
Lecture “Community as an alternative way of life towards ecological sustainability”
Can community be a viable alternative way of life, economy and desire?
A community is where certain commons are truly shared. Its advantage is in providing bounds that can be immediately and concretely felt by the individual and sensed by the state. But modern states and economies treat people as individual citizens and consumers: they call forth the modern idea of individual freedom, through a critique of the oppressive traditional communities.
Nowadays that ecological consciousness – of limited resources and other species – is rising, it brings about the awareness and necessity of bounds. Can it lead to real changes towards sustainability? This lecture will argue the emerging value of community in the context of urbanized environments, particularly in developing Southeast Asian countries.
Lecture “Arts and community: What next?”
Communities provide materials, inspirations, reasons and worthy audience. Over the last few decades, from rural to urban contexts, artistic experiments with communities have been intensifying and spreading. The artists’ engagement in a community can be as simple as serving the community members.
Environmental concerns are often important reasons for artists’ interaction in the community. How can we evaluate these concerns, and what lessons are to be learned for the future, aesthetically, ethically and politically? How are they related to the idea of community? This lecture will present various successful projects initiated by artists, collectors, art spaces and cultural workers to inspire and to get inspired with the living community.
Entrance is free. English-Vietnamese translation will be provided.

YANGON CALLING (61 min/Myanmar/Germany/2013)
Directed by Alexander Dluzak and Carsten Piefke
In the 90’s, sailors brought the first punk rock cassettes into Myanmar. Since then a scene with several hundred followers has emerged in Yangon.
The film YANGON CALLING introduces the main protagonists of the punk rock scene and shows their life in Myanmar’s underground. During six weeks, the filmmakers Alexander Dluzak and Carsten Piefke filmed secretly and without authorization in Yangon, using small cameras. They accompanied the punks to their homes and met their friends and families. They went along with them to work in the tailor shop and tattoo studio, to rehearsal rooms and secret illegal concerts. They spoke with punks who had sat in jail during the military dictatorship and saw them fight their frustration with heroin.
YANGON CALLING is a film about life in an authoritarian state, about personal tragedy and the struggle for freedom in a country where punk is still true rebellion.

HARANA – THE SEARCH FOR THE LOST ART OF SERENADE
(103 phút / Philippines / 2012)
Directed by Benito Bautista
Produced by Floranter Aguilar & Fides Enriquez
“Upon his father’s death, Florante, a classically trained guitarist returns to the Philippines after 12 years of absence. During his stay he rediscovers the music of harana – a long-forgotten tradition of Filipino serenading when men sang under the window at night to fearlessly declare their love for a woman.
Intent on unearthing these unheralded songs, Florante travels to the remote provinces where he discovers three of the last surviving practitioners – a farmer, a fisherman and a tricycle driver.
Astounded by their golden voices, Florante asks them to travel with him to perform and record these unknown songs.
During their travels, the haranistas meet Brian, a shy young man who for years has been secretly in love with a schoolmate. The haranistas, who have not serenaded in the last thirty years, offered their services to serenade Brian’s object of affection, resulting in one of the most tender moments of genuine harana captured on film.
Word soon spread around Manila of leathery faced men whose style of untrained but sincere and expressive singing touch the hearts everywhere they performed, culminating in a series of triumphant live performances – from the small village to prestigious concert halls to recording the first authentic harana album in the last fifty years.
But the question remains – can harana be restored to its former glory or is it doomed to vanish silently into the night forever?”

From Vanity Production Vietnam and The Onion Cellar:
ASEAN Music Festival 2015 also features the debut of sounds by southeast (sxse) – The Onion Cellar & Vanity Vietnam’s co-rated series of southeast asian music documentaries. Consisting of 3 feature films and a special showcase of shorts, sxse’s first installment celebrates musicians operating on the fringe of society: Yangon’s underground punk-rockers (in Yangon Calling), the last haranistas of the Philippines (Harana), practitioners of traditional Thai music (Y/our Music), and Vietnamese left-field pathfinders (the Vietnam films of Vincent Moon).
Vietnam was a mystery. Known in the foreigner’s eyes for other aspects than music forms, my first knowledge of it was through some rare tribal recordings of the northern and central mountains, and not much more than that. I didn’t expect to encounter trance rituals, highly syncretic religions, experimental noise-music and funeral music at every corner, all this over one month travel from south to north. After spending some time in the Mekong Delta and in near-by Tay Ninh for a Cao Dai ceremony, we went north – to the northern mountains around Ha Giang, amongst tribes trying to maintaining an old way of celebrating their land, while in the same time opening up for very modern tourism. Back in Hanoi, the most fascinating megalopolis on this side of the world, we spent a few weeks between new electronic music, ancient trance rituals, funeral ceremonies… All this through the noise of the crowd, motos, screens and speakers. The constant sound of the globalized civilization. Vietnam kept a mystery, all through this travel. Those 6 films are not trying to uncover it by any means – more to unfold them in a new direction, like drawing hypothesis on the meaning of hand movements.”
