Free Film Screening: "No Monastery, No Village"

High in Nepal’s remote Limi Valley, the village of Halzi is home to around 500 people whose lives revolve around the 11th-century Waltse Rinchenling Buddhist Monastery, the spiritual and cultural heart of the community. But just a few kilometers upstream, a rapidly melting glacier poses an existential threat. A previous glacial flood has already caused destruction, and scientists warn that another could wipe out both the village and the monastery. The film follows residents as they confront an impossible choice: leave their ancestral home for safety, or remain to protect a sacred way of life rooted in faith, memory, and place. Through the experiences of villagers including monk Sonam Dhondup and yak herder Pema Dolma, the documentary explores the tension between devotion and survival, revealing how climate change is not only transforming a Himalayan landscape but also threatening an entire cultural world. In recognition of the devastating mud flood that struck Nepal’s Bhotekoshi and Trishuli river systems on August 26, claiming thousands of lives, ISAS will screen a documentary about a remote Himalayan village (located in Limi Valley of Humla District, northwestern Nepal) with an eleventh-century Buddhist monastery at its center confronting the threat of a catastrophic glacial flood. Produced in 2024, the documentary examines the accelerating effects of climate change on Himalayan glaciers and the resulting dangers of glacial erosion, instability, and flooding. It therefore offers a timely perspective on the environmental conditions underlying the recent tragic flooding. Directed by climate activist and filmmaker Tashi Lhazom, the film is part of the series Voices from the Roof of the World, produced by Aga Khan University in collaboration with Shanta Nepali Productions. Running time: 28 minutes The screening will be followed by a panel discussion Event Website Link: https://events.berkeley.edu/events/event/331033-screening-no-monastery-no-village-voices-from-the-roo IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION: Please plan ahead of time, since parking is not always easily available in Berkeley.

Incredibly Strange Music shorts

Join us at Artists' Television Access for *Incredibly Strange Music*, a program of odd music videos and short films. “Here's an aggressive critical engagement with both old and new musical forms, led by legendary beatnik re-mixer 99 Hooker! His much-anticipated appearance here promises both wise and wise-guy versions of the comtempo sub-pop-music scene, as well as genius patter in situ. Avatar Pit, his real-time media delirium, is supported fore and aft by a raft of utterly anomalous musical singularities---spontaneous musique concrete sessions, damaged polka fragments, Troloman, Babalu, the Blob, the Residents, Eric Burden and the Animals, Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders...rockin hard! AND Liberace, Spike Jones, the Mirror Man, Louis Prima & Keely Smith, singing ostriches, and so many Other outsiders, now centerstage in 99's upside-down musical universe!!” – Program notes 7:45 Purchase tickets at ATA 8:00 Film program starts 9:45 Afterwards we will visit Radio Habana Social Club (1109 Valencia at 22nd St.) for refreshments and conversation.

Movie Monday: Traces Of Home

Satyajit Ray’s "The Music Room"

Join us for an afternoon screening of Indian director Satyajit Ray’s *The Music Room* (Jalsaghar) (1958). NOTE: Please purchase your tickets in advance at [ybca.org](https://ybca.ticketing.veevartapp.com/tickets/view/list/the-music-room). The screening room is small and the screening will likely sell out. Free admission to YBCA’s art galleries is included with your ticket, so you may wish to arrive early. “In *The Music Room* (Jalsaghar), director Satyajit Ray brilliantly evokes the crumbling opulence of a fallen aristocrat (played by the beloved Chhabi Biswas) desperately clinging to a vanishing way of life. At the heart of his world is the music room where he once hosted lavish concerts—now a shadow of its former self, grand and ghostly. A showcase for some of India’s most celebrated musicians of the era, the film echoes GaHee Park’s aesthetic universe in its incandescent rendering of tradition meeting modernity, of social ritual, and of time, memory, and identity folded into one another.”—Program notes More info on YBCA’s screening: [https://ybca.org/event/the-music-room-through-an-open-window-film-series/](https://ybca.org/event/the-music-room-through-an-open-window-film-series/) 1:30 Meet at YBCA Box Office (701 Mission St. at Third) to purchase tickets and take our seats. The film starts at 2. 3:40 After the program we will meet for conversation at The Grove (690 Mission St. @ 3rd St.) for refreshments and conversation.
