Wed 07/02 Kapow Music / Polynya / Baltrop, Alabama - 9:30 PM $5

Kapow Music - These Bu Hanan Records folks haven't played Nightlight in a while, and we're excited to have them back! From their website: kapow! music, the exploding vehicle of the songwriting of John Ribo, sets guitars against lo-fi electronic washes and blips, exploring cross-pollinations of early country, indie rock, chanson francaise, and zouk

Polynya is a 5-piece band that is psychedelic in approach to arrangements and tones but pop with regards to song structures and lengths. Polynya is pronounced puh-LIN-yuh and is defined as an area of open water surrounded by ice. The arctic wind blows so fast the water can't freeze.

Balthrop, Alabama - Large-ensemble indie rock, great arrangements, lots of unique instruments! From their website: Welcome to Balthrop, Alabama. Founded in 1847 in Alabama's Iron Belt. Things to do while you visit: eat at Bompa and Gigi's Late Nite Diner, get your mail posted at the Dairy Queen located on Henry Street, and then find out all about us at a town meeting held the first Monday of every month at 6pm in Elmore's Barber Shop. Hope to see you soon!

Thurs 08/14 Burmese Film Screening and Southeast Asian Dance PArty- hosted by WXYC DJS's

At the end of the twentieth-century, Palestinian filmmaker Elia Suleiman said, "Film images now bulldoze boundaries." With current debates about the collapse of nation-states, the question arises: does national cinema still exist in contemporary times? Some argue that the national is not what it once was, but neither has it disappeared. In the current cinematic practice, a paradox exists in the dissolving of national signifiers and the simultaneous rise of state-sponsored national imagery.

It is with these issues in mind that we are mounting a post-national film series in Chapel Hill and Carrboro that focuses on Burma. In the wake of Cyclone Nargis, the role of the state in relief operations draws attention to the type of image Burma's state wants to project. "Imagining Burma: A Post-National Film Series" aims to critically explore the issue of blurred national boundaries of Burma through a program of feature-length films and documentaries. The film series also hopes to provide a public venue in the Triangle of North Carolina, where one of the largest concentrations of Burmese refugees has settled. Our goals are to encourage debate on these films and also to assist the Burmese communities who were directly and indirectly affected by the cyclone.

"Imagining Burma" will open with a party from 7pm to 9pm on July 17, 2008 at Weaver Street Market. This outdoor event will feature WXYC DJs spinning Southeast Asian music and free Burmese cuisine. A screening of The Burmese Harp will follow at Southern Rail (The Station) from 10pm to midnight. On July 31, the series will continue with a pair of documentaries, Our Burmese Days and Burma from 7pm to 9pm at Hanes Art Center on UNC's Campus. The third event in the series will be a screening and Southeast Asian Dance party from 9pm to 2am on August 14 at the Nightlight.
