Film Screening @ Culver Center
Directed by: Jessica Oreck
Fri, Mar 29, 2013 - Sat, Mar 30, 2013
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
2009 | Japan/USA | Unrated
Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo delves into the ineffable mystery of Japan's age-old love affair with insects. A labyrinthine meditation on nature, beauty, philosophy and Japanese culture that might just make you question if your 'instinctive' repulsion to bugs is merely a trick of western conditioning.
"If Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo sounds like some retro Japanese creature feature, guess again. This is a gentle docu-tribute to Japan?s age-old connection to the insect world, a meditative piece that is at times hypnotically beautiful. The film mixes fascinating shots of Japan?s most popular insects -- dragonflies, fireflies, crickets, butterflies and, of course, beetles -- with related visuals of local daily life and rituals. The point, taken with quiet matter-of- factness, is that nature has always been an inextricable part of Japanese culture, religion and philosophy, with insects being an ideal representation of the country?s traditional attention to detail and harmony."
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times.

David Wax Museum Concert
David Wax Museum will perform a free concert at the Culver Center on Thursday, March 7th, at 8pm after participating in a CHASS Annual Theme discussion of Happiness and Music and a visit to Professor Jonathan Ritter’s Intro to World Music class. David Wax Museum’s visit is part of the CHASS Annual Theme: Happiness.
David Wax Museum’s high-energy sound tests the boundaries of easy categorization. Singer and guitarist David Wax and bandmate Suz Slezak (vocals and violin) have cultivated a Mexo-American aesthetic by fusing their knowledge of Mexican folk music with American roots and indie rock. The two crafted their unique sound in and around Boston clubs and in rural Veracruz, Mexico when Wax received a graduate fellowship to study regional musical styles including son jarocho. Slezak, who sings lead, also takes turns playing a fiddle and a traditional Mexican instrument called a guijada, which is fashioned from the jawbone of a donkey. The result is an irrepressible combination of harmonies, Mexican rhythms, and rootsy sound that has become an artistic triumph, earning the duo a spot at the prestigious Newport Folk Festival and the 2010 Boston Music Award for Best Americana Artist.
