Thursday, October 20th 7pm & 9pm FREE. ----/ Event Description /----------------------------------------------- 7PM: THE MYSTERY OF PICASSO (1956) From French director Henri-Georges Clouzot. Capturing the moment and the mystery of creativity, for this film, Picasso created 20 artworks, ranging from playful black-and-white sketches to widescreen color paintings. Using inks that bled through the paper, Picasso rapidly created fanciful drawings that Clouzot was able to film from the reverse side, capturing their creation in real time. This month commemorates Picasso's 124th birthday. 9PM: FELA KUTI - MUSIC IS THE WEAPON (1982) Fela Anikulapo Kuti (1938-1997) was a Nigerian colossus, a prolific singer-composer who played keyboards, trumpet and saxophone. Fela hit upon what he called Afro-beat, a seductive, explosive groove wherein highlife and Yoruba folklore were fused with American jazz, R&B and funk. This new sound, charged with searing anti-colonial lyrics, became the vehicle for political dissent. Fela was repeatedly harassed and jailed due to his political views. By the time of his death from an AIDS-related illness, he had transformed African music for all time. This film overflows with fervent live performances, frank interviews and exudes genuine Lagos street credo circa 1982. ----/ Venue Info /------------------------------------------------------ Red Poppy Art House 2698 Folsom Street @ 23rd San Francisco http://www.redpoppyarthouse.org ----/ Additional Info /------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 415-826-2402 ----/ The Squid List Admin /--------------------------------------------- The Squid List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/ subscribe, unsubscribe, change your email address or change your subscription options: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/squidlist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidelines Squid List FAQ: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/faq.html The Squid List Online Calendar: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/calendar/ The Squid List RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/squidlist ----/ Laughing Squid /-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com underground art and culture from San Francisco and beyond Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://laughingsquid.net friendly, dependable and secure web hosting services for artists, individuals, bloggers, non-profits and small businesses Copyright (c) 2005 Laughing Squid.
