Performance Tonolec
Indian Summer Showcase 2008 Performance
Tonolec blends electronica with the Toba music and rhyme that they learned from community elders in their native Chaco, Argentina. Their work with indigenous communities gave birth to their name ("tonolec" is the name of a local bird) and to the sound of their music: a powerful feminine voice in dialogue with nature and electronics. Their repertoire includes original compositions and arrangements of traditional songs.

Film Triangle
13th Annual Made in Hong Kong Film Festival
(2007, 101 min., Cantonese with English subtitles, co-directed by Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam, and Johnny To) Each director contributed a section to this continuous story, freely using his own methods and taking the plot in any direction he wanted. The result is both a primer in the unique styles of these directors and an enjoyable romp about a robbery gone wrong.
Free, but tickets (2 per person) distributed 1 hour before
