Dear all,
This Wednesday we have a HALLOWEEN SPECIAL in Cafe Amsterdam.
American Radigan Neuhalfen, regular visitor of our cafe and author of the novel "The Steppe", will read H.P Lovecraft Horror Stories.
Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937) is the 20th century master of horror, fantasy and science fiction and the acknowledged heir to Edgar Allan Poe. With his stories, which blended gothic horror with science fiction, Lovecraft presented a view of the universe as something vast, where forces operate that are indifferent towards humanity, a view that has come to be known as "cosmic horror".
Everybody welcome Wednesday October 28 at 8PM in Cafe Amsterdam for a very special and thrilling evening.

Dear all
This Wednesday for Cultural Evening we decided to show a film "Himalaya". A couple who are our regular Cultural Evening fans came up with this great film, and they will give the introduciton of the film themselves on Wednesday night.
Himalaya
Director: Eric Valli
Duration: 1h44mins
It is caravan time in Dolpo, high in the Himalayas of Nepal. The villagers must trek for days across the mountains with laden yaks to trade their salt for grain. But when Karma (Gurgon Kyap) returns to the village with the body of Lhakpa, leader of the caravan and son of the old chief Tinle (Thinlen Lhondup), the new chief blames Karma for the death, and will not allow him to lead in Lhakpa's place. Though Tinle's grandson, Tserin (Karma Wangiel), is far too young to lead the tribe, Tinle simply renames him Passang--a chief's name--and prepares him to lead the caravan. Karma challenges Tinle, threatening to take away the yaks, Lhakpa's widow Pema (Lhapka Tsamchoe), and Passang before the day that the caravan begins. Old Tinle in turn visits the monastery to gather his son, Norbou (Karma Tenzing Nyima Lama), a frescoe-painting monk, to join him on the caravan. But Norbou refuses to join his father, and Tinle returns to the village to discover that Karma has left early, taking most of the caravaneers with him. Tinle, Pema, Passang, the late-arriving Norbou, and the old men of the village leave on the scheduled day, and leading their own caravan in an effort to end the rivalry that threatens every resident of Dolpo.
Theatrical release: June 22, 2001 The excellent sound design for HIMALAYA was recorded by Denis Guilhem and Denis Martin. HIMALAYA was nominated for the 2000 for Best Foreign Language Film. HIMALAYA was awarded the César for BeAcademy Award st Cinematography and Best Original Music. The Dolpo region of Nepal, where HIMALAYA was filmed,is located in the Northwest Himalayas.

Dear all,
Tomorrow Wednesday 30 September at 8 PM in Cafe Amsterdam we will show the film Transsiberian.
It is a 2008 thriller film directed by Brad Anderson with Woody Harrelson, Emily Mortimer, Kate Mara, Eduardo Noriega
and Ben Kingsley.
Plot:
Roy and Jessie, an American couple, takes the train from Beijing to Moscow as an adventurous side trip on their return home from a Christian mission in China. In the train they encounter the more adventurous backpackers Carlos and Abby and boarding mid-way is Ilya Grinko a Moscow police detective.
Like a Hitchcock classic there is the feeling that things are not all as they seem and there is that uneasy feeling that something very bad is going to happen. The tension is eerie and relentless, with telling glances and social conservation that suggest the relationships between these four are going to take a disturbing turn.
Come to see this exciting Hitchcock kind of thriller with beautiful photography and real authentic characters.
