Los Angeles Electric 8, the world’s only electric guitar chamber octet, returns to Fishbon to premiere a brand new program entitled Interlocking Textures. This debut performance will take listeners on a journey from east to west, showcasing the connections between Indonesian gamelan and American minimalism. Featuring music by ethnomusicologist Mantle Hood, minimalist composer Wayne Siegel and more, the evening’s fare will run from the traditional to the inspired – all ringing from a chorus of eight electric guitars.

WALTZ WITH BASHIR (2008)
Director Ari Folman employs vivid black-and-white animation in this Golden Globe-winning film, exploring the memory gaps in his life during his service for the Israeli army in the Lebanese war of the early 1980s. Recounting stories based on recorded interviews with colleagues and friends, Folman relives the horrors of war and dissects the curious coping mechanisms humans use to survive under brutal circumstances.

This compelling film explores the rarely seen world of Japanese host boys, men who are paid to entertain wealthy women in exclusive nightclubs. Almost but not quite gigolos, more akin to male geishas, the host boys of Café Rakkyo, including Issei, Osaka’s top host boy, share their secrets.
