  From Tehran: The Last Paradise - Film Festival in Iran
by Sawada Mikako

In February, I attended the "Fajr International Film Festival"
in Iran. When mentioning Iranian film you might think of Abbas
Kiarostami's refined movies and illustrations of children's
innocence first. I did so, too, but only until a visit to the
country set me right there. The image we have of of Iranian
film is just the tip of the iceberg.

(2) Event Pick of the Week
===============================================================

Background Records Label Night jp2

Andy Vaz, who is running the "Background" label that is mainly
known for the "Futuristic Experiments" series, comes to Japan
again for a couple of live sets. Although the label's oeuvre
doesn't include that much really 'futuristic' and 'experimental'
music, Background is certainly part of the spearhead of cutting-edge
house-oriented techno. Added to the catalogue of funky releases by
the likes of Akufen or Sutekh will be Andy's own live recording,
made at this last appearance in Tokyo in 2002. The CD "Live in Tokyo"
is scheduled to go on sale more or less simultaneously with this event.
Other performers this time include Rhythm Maker, who surprised with
tastefully simple electronic sounds on the "Love and Other Solutions"
he released last year under his "Antonelli Electr." moniker.
The venue is Cube326 in Shibaura!
