Punctum Film Club #2 Rembetiko (1983)
Punctum - Krásovka, neděle 15. února v 19:00 SEČ
Druhá edice Punctum film klub přinese kultovní řecké hudební drama Rembetiko.
Rembetiko je řecký hudební žánr, který vznikl na počátku 20. století ve městě Smyrna (dnešní Izmir v Turecku) a mísí v sobě řecké, turecké a blízkovýchodní hudební vlivy. Jelikož bylo spjaté s nižší a dělnickou třídou, s texty o drogách, zločinech, prostituci nebo alkoholu, bylo řeckou vládou na konci 30. let částečně zakázáno.
Film vypráví životní příběh rembetiko zpěvačky Mariky, od jejího narození ve Smyrně, deportace do Pireu, kde byla svědkem toho, jak její otec zabil její matku, až po její vzestup jako populární zpěvačky a opuštění své malé dcery, aby mohla koncertovat po Severní Americe. Příběh je protkán dobovými řeckými politickými reáliemi (deportace z Turecka, druhá světová válka, občanská válka) a koncerty, kde hudbu složil skladatel Stavros Xarhakos.
Velké díky patří režisérovi Kostovi Ferrisovi za poskytnutí digitálně restaurované director's cut verze z roku 2023. Promítání bude v řečtině s pouze anglickými titulky. Punctum otevíra v 19:00, promítání začne v 19:30. Budeme mít také řecké vege jídlo, možná uděláme i rakomelo z Punctum slivovice.
Vstup dobrovolný.

Motherless – Do You Feel Safe? Review
By Samguineous Maximus
Sometimes, you don’t need nuance. Sometimes you don’t want prog-soaked journeys through inner turmoil, or post-whatever atmospherics that whisper about pain instead of screaming it in your face. 1 Sometimes you just want music to sound like the goddamn world is on fire. Featuring members of Without Waves and site favorites The Atlas Moth, Chicago’s Motherless might have just that with their debut Do You Feel Safe? 2 Promising a slab of riff-driven sludge metal with “driving intensity that reflects both personal darkness and industrial urban weight,” Motherless seems poised to deliver a batch of vile tunes for the end times. Can these scene veterans succeed in making a compelling and punishing debut, or will they find themselves crushed under the fuzz-drenched weight of their own riffs?
The brand of sonic violence Motherless specializes in owes just as much to the depraved lineage of crust punk and d-beat as it does the virulent brand of blackened sludge from fellow Chicagoans Lord Mantis and Indian. Do You Feel Safe? eschews the aimless downtuned wandering often found in the style, instead careening between powerlifting-ready sludge killriffs and mosh-inducing hardcore parts at a breakneck pace. The result is a riffstorm that hits with the immediacy of Thou’s Umbilical, but cranked to about double the RPM (that’s riffs per minute, naturally). Even on longer songs, Motherless keep things interesting by injecting a slice of post-metal shimmer (“Darling, You Don’t Look Well”) and the serrated edge of Black Sheep Wall’s post-hardcore abrasion (“The New Romance”). Do You Feel Safe?’s brisk 33-minute runtime blows by in a way that sufficiently encourages drywall-punching, but its 8 tracks mix things up just enough as not to grow stale.
The core aggression of Do You Feel Safe? is driven by its formidable guitar work. The bludgeoning force of Anthony Cwan and Stavros Giannopoulos is as delectable as it is vile, adapting the expansive three-pronged guitar attack of The Atlas Moth and condensing it for maximum destructive capability. When they’re not blasting ahead on punkier cuts like “Reptile Dysfuntion” or the blackened aggression of “Abrupt Violence,” Motherless’s core riff flavor is that of sinister groove; built on open string intervals and syncopated chugs. Tracks like “You Seem So Damn Sure,” “Christian Math” and “Insect Politics” all center around devilishly infectious riffs, downtuned appropriately and engineered to ensure maximum headbangability. Bassist Alex Klien sticks close to the guitars, augmenting their effectiveness with a massive bass crunch. The central riff package is expanded with consistent lead guitars, which add atmosphere and textural nuance to the mammoth sludge on display.
This twisted display of aural decimation is matched by an equally punishing production job. Do You Feel Safe? features an all-star mix by Sanford Parker (Eyehategod, Yob, Darkthrone) and master by Brad Boatwright (Sleep, Obituary, Kylesa), whose impressive abilities are on full display. 3 This ensures that every palm-mute and distorted power chord from Motherless hits with the sonic impact of a freight train and ensures that everything feels as massive as the compositions demand. Giannopoulos’s powerful shriek is given enough space to shine, which lets his caustic delivery and repeated lyrical declarations of vitriol explode with a deserved venom. Drummer Gary Naples boasts a commanding drum tone, with enough modern punch across the kit for his tasteful gallops and tom work to shine through, while preserving a raw attack that serves the band well. Overall, the mix allows Motherless to sound like a cohesive unit, readymade for aural annihilation.
With Do You Feel Safe?, Motherless have released one of the strongest sludge metal albums of the year, one that lives up to band member’s impressive pedigrees. It’s a record which is as aggressive as it is addictive, that beckons repeated descents into its depraved sonic labyrinth. It’s a perfect soundtrack to a year where it’s felt like everything has gone wrong and all you can do is scream into the void as a response. If you need something to encapsulate the anguish of our modern era, Motherless are here for you, waiting with walls of distortion and clad in urban decay. When they shout “Do You Feel Safe?” you’ll whisper back “no.”

John Couzin (1934–2025)
Features, 20. MärzDer anarchistische Dichter und Propagandist aus Glasgow war ein Friedenssuchender
Von Ethel McDonaldEiner der führenden Köpfe des zeitgenössischen #Anarchismus, John #Couzin, starb im Alter von fast 91 Jahren in den Armen seiner Partnerin zu Hause in #Glasgow, #Schottland.
John war in Glasgow aktiv und interessierte sich sehr für Sozialgeschichte. Er war wütend darüber, dass die mangelnde Bewahrung der anarchistischen Geschichte der Macht des Staates in die Hände spielte und von anderen politischen Parteien leicht ausgenutzt werden konnte, weil es auch die Leugnung unserer Existenz war.
John begann, Namen und Ereignisse zu sammeln, erstellte das Online-Wiki #Strugglepedia und recherchierte in seinem Buch „Radical Glasgow“ über die #Clydeside-#Anarchisten, was zur Gründung des Radical Glasgow History Project führte. Schließlich war er die treibende Kraft hinter dem mitbegründeten „Spirit of Revolt Archives of Dissent“ und stellte fast alles online.
John betrieb 20 Jahre lang einen Blog (einschließlich einer Karte der radikalen Szene und einer Liste lokaler Veranstaltungen) unter dem Pseudonym #AnnArky, der rund 2 Millionen Aufrufe verzeichnete. Der Blog eignete sich für ein kostenloses Straßenmagazin, und so entstand die Anarchist Critic. Er gründete #Voline Press, unter dem er seine fünf Gedichtbände im Selbstverlag veröffentlichte.
John spielte täglich #Schach auf sehr hohem Niveau und versuchte letztes Jahr, einen Club zu gründen, aber seine schlechte Gesundheit bremste ihn, wie es im Laufe der Jahre immer wieder der Fall war.
John war in der Familie als Jack bekannt, aber von seinen Kameraden als John. Er wurde 1934 vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in den berüchtigten #Garngad-Slums in Glasgow geboren, die so schlimm waren, dass der Stadtrat sie abriss und das Gebiet umbenannte. Die Familie zog nach #Balornock.
Johns Vater William war #Bergarbeiter und seine Mutter Lizzie hauptsächlich #Fabrikarbeiterin. Er hatte zwei ältere Schwestern, Sadie und Margaret, und eine jüngere Schwester, Betty. Es war eine Familie, die sich sehr liebte und unterstützte. Er war ein großer, ruhiger Junge, ein talentierter Pianist und seit seinem elften Lebensjahr sehr schachbegeistert.
Er wurde mit seinen Schwestern aus Glasgow auf einen Bauernhof evakuiert, wo er wie ein Sohn behandelt wurde, und erinnert sich an die Freude, die er an dem alten Pferd hatte, das mit einem Tritt in die Seite und Herumtollen auf die Weide gelassen wurde, an seinem letzten Tag der Arbeit.
Er lehnte ein #Universitätsstudium ab, für das die #Bergarbeitergewerkschaft bezahlt hätte, und nahm stattdessen ein #Ingenieurstudium auf, gefolgt von einer Ausbildung in der #Fairfield's #Shipyard.
Er genoss seine Zeit, entdeckte anarchistische Ideen und war dort lautstark und aktiv, indem er 1952 am #Lehrlingsstreik teilnahm. Er war auch Asbest ausgesetzt, entwickelte später Pleura-Plaques und sah, wie sein bester Freund Ian an einem Mesotheliom starb. Er war Zeuge, wie sein junger Freund Archie, ein Nietenschlosser, der von einem Schiffsgerüst stürzte, ertrank, ein Ereignis, das ihn sein ganzes Leben lang zutiefst beunruhigte. Er erlebte aus erster Hand, wie Regierungsaufträge und die Verschwendung öffentlicher Gelder in der #Rüstungsindustrie herumwirbelten, indem er für den Bau von Schiffen eingesetzt wurde, die nach ihrem Stapellauf außer Dienst gestellt wurden.
Dort wurde ihm ein Auftrag verweigert und er wechselte zu #Vickers, wo er bald erkannte, dass die unterschiedliche #Lohnstruktur der #Akkordarbeit für den hinterhältigen Wettlauf um den ersten Platz für Boni auf Kosten von #Gesundheit und #Sicherheit verantwortlich war.
John verließ die Ingenieursbranche und nahm einen Job als Vertreter in #Slumgs an. Er verkaufte Möbel, Fernseher und Versicherungen und kehrte wöchentlich zurück, um die Zahlungen entgegenzunehmen. Er sah die schlimmsten Dinge, die ihn verfolgten, kalte, hungrige, ungewaschene Kinder, Familien, die Dielen verbrannten, um zu heizen und zu kochen, Babys, die auf Kleiderbündeln schliefen.
Schließlich gab er diesen Job auf und wechselte in den Einzelhandel, da er inzwischen Ann kennengelernt hatte und sie zwei Kinder, Brian und Corinne, zu ernähren hatten. Im Einzelhandel arbeitete er sich bis zum Manager hoch und brach dabei #Gewinnrekorde, da er standardmäßig Boni erhielt, die er brauchte, um die Familie zu ernähren. Sie zogen nach Pollokshaws und er züchtete Rosen, die Kinder gewöhnten sich an die Schule und fanden Freunde. Er kaufte ein Boot, das der ganzen Familie Spaß machte.
Als er in seinen Fünfzigern war, waren die Kinder bereits ausgezogen und er schloss sich #Amnesty International an, was John als nützliche Möglichkeit ansah, das Bewusstsein zu schärfen und Ungerechtigkeiten anzuprangern, die überall von den Mächtigen begangen wurden. Er war der Koordinator für dringende Maßnahmen in Schottland, las täglich die Berichte über #Folteropfer und versuchte, diese in der schottischen Presse zu veröffentlichen, um Unterstützungskampagnen zu starten. Nach drei Jahren war es ihm zu schmerzhaft, noch einen Bericht zu lesen, und er wechselte zu S#ACRO, wo er sich freiwillig bereit erklärte, Familien von Gefangenen zu Besuchen in ganz #Schottland zu fahren.
Mit 59 Jahren zog er sich aus dem Verkauf zurück und verbrachte mehr Zeit im Fitnessstudio und auf dem Rennrad, mit dem er regelmäßig 145 km zurücklegte, mit Übernachtung und Rückkehr am nächsten Tag. Mit über 70 Jahren hatte er den AnnArky-Blog gegründet, das Buch „Radical Glasgow“ fertiggestellt und auf Buchmessen verkauft und mit der Produktion der Straßenzeitung „Anarchist Critic“ begonnen, die von 2002 bis 2022 20 Jahre lang erschien. Es handelte sich um eine antikapitalistische Zeitung, die die Fehler und Widersprüche der #Kapitalisten, multinationalen #Konzerne, #Imperien, Clubs, #Staaten und #Grenzen, des #IWF, der Europäischen Zentralbank, der #Weltbank und des #Weltwirtschaftsforums in #Davos aufdeckte. Die Anarchist Critic war eine antikriegerische, antiautoritäre, antiimperialistische #Protestliteratur, aber nicht pazifistisch, da John der Meinung war, dass #Selbstverteidigung ein unveränderliches Recht ist. Er war in Glasgow ein sehr bekanntes Gesicht, wenn er seine Zeitung verteilte.
Sein Artikel über abgereichertes #Uran wurde in „Freedom“ veröffentlicht.
Seine Familie wurde nun durch Stathis, seinen neuen Schwiegersohn, und Stavros und Stefania, zwei entzückende Enkelkinder, erweitert. 2005 lernte er Stasia kennen, eine Mitaktivistin und Seelenverwandte, und sie verbanden sich 20 Jahre lang als zutiefst verliebtes Paar. 2011 gründete er zusammen mit anderen das Spirit of Revolt Archives of dissent, das sowohl online als auch öffentlich in der #MitchellLibrary zugänglich ist.
John versuchte auch, den #Maifeiertag wieder auf den #GlasgowGreen zu bringen, der über Hunderte von Jahren hinweg #Versammlungsort, #Hinrichtungsstätte und historischer Ort für politische #Agitation in Glasgow war. In den letzten Jahren hat der Stadtrat zu wenig in das Museum People's Palace investiert, sodass es geschlossen werden musste, und die Organisatoren des Marsches haben die Wirkung des Maifeiertags verwässert, ihn umgeleitet und ihn vom Glasgow Green entfernt, wodurch sie die Bedeutung der Veranstaltung, die für #Anarchisten von großer Bedeutung ist, aktiv herabgesetzt haben.
Im Januar starb Johns Sohn Brian sehr plötzlich, was die ganze Familie erschütterte und ihm das Herz brach.
John war sein Leben lang ein begeisterter Leser und Dichter und hat fünf Bücher mit kraftvollen Gedichten verfasst, die derzeit ins Französische übersetzt werden.
Wir alle trauern jetzt um John. Er mag uns verlassen haben, aber seine Arbeit für den Anarchismus in Schottland erhöht unser Ansehen, legitimiert unsere Existenz und ebnet den Weg für zukünftige Generationen, auf dem er aufbauen wollte. Seine großherzige Liebe für alle hat einen tiefen Eindruck bei uns allen hinterlassen und die Erinnerung an John Couzins eigenen Geist der #Revolte wird für immer eine Quelle der Inspiration in unserem Leben bleiben.

Watching #ABCtheDrum & they're discussing women's ordination as Ministers in the Anglican Church. This reminded me of a post I wrote some time ago - "The Curve of My Heart's Desire"

Hooves Leave Earth
In a game of rules, so neatly laid,
Keeping them, a challenge in the shade,
A quantum leap, a dance so grand,
A cow takes flight, in moonlit land.The moon, it shines, a distant goal,
But it's the leap that claims the soul,
Boxes of life, on shelves they rest,
Dusty tales, by time caressed.A sober mind in tailored grace,
A conservative suit, a serious face,
His father's memory, forever keen,
Wheat grains hung, like dreams unseen."If the world should end," his father spoke,
"Seeds we'll need, for life's rebroke,
Hang them there, on that timber door,
Hope for renewal, forevermore."Yet with age, the questions came,
Challenging logic's steady frame,
"If the world should fall," the son dared ask,
"No soil to sow, no future task."An earnest voice, a weighty thought,
In the echo of words, a truth was caught,
To open doors, step out and roam,
A life of choices, a soul's new home.His mother's image, from darkness sprung,
A memory's tune, softly sung,
Things align, as if fated to be,
A jigsaw puzzle, a mystery.For the first time, the world's allure,
A kaleidoscope of values pure,
A pattern shifted, a new design,
Broken glass forms colors divine.The light of this world, a radiant guide,
In patterns of life, we now confide,
A geometrical shift, ego's refrain,
Harmony found in broken pain.So let the cow leap, let the moon glow,
In the heart's quantum dance, we find the flow,
It's in the leap, the step unbound,
A world of wonder, forever found.So it's all very well, to set the stage,
But the leap's the thing, on wisdom's page,
The cow, the moon, they play their part,
But it's in the leap, we find our heart. -
Being retired is liberating for my expression. I write what I want, how I want, and publish it on my blog & not worry if others like, appreciate or want to publish it. It means my expression is unadulterated 'me'.
I pity those who feel their work must be confirmed as 'good' by others.
I think it also depends on one's circumstances. If one hopes to make a living from it then it matters what others think because you need the $. If it's not a matter of survival then I don't know what to say.
