 "International Night at

Friend's on Sixth Street" in Austin فرندز بار- خیابان ششم

 

At a time in our history when cross cultural understanding is critical to the immediate future of our country, a cutting edge Texas organization will be showcasing bands from around the world from as far away as Tehran and New Delhi to Monterrey and Berlin, all under one roof, and FOR FREE.

Dart Music International will presenting "International Night at Friend's on Sixth Street" in Austin at
Friends Bar on 6th Street on Tuesday, March 11th 2008. This event will feature 6 bands from countries around the world and will be digitally recorded for live CDs and DVDs. Admission is free.

The bands Showcased at this international event will be
127 (One Twenty Seven) and Hypernova, both from Tehran, Iran, Lily Electric from Berlin, Germany, Menwhopause from New Delhi, India, Mockinpott from Monterrey, Mexico, and Telerama from Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil.

The mission of Dart Music International, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is to enrich the culture of Texas by exposing patrons of the arts to other cultures. We do this by eliminating the logistical difficulties associated with international travel for each of our artists so they can have the best possible opportunity to achieve their own artistic and professional goals.


"We do this because we feel it's important to continually expose ourselves to other cultures through the universal language of music,"
said Dave Dart, the founder of Dart International. "Young musicians in other parts of the world have the same hopes and dreams as anyone in Austin. When you can dance to someone's music, it's suddenly a lot easier to embrace the culture that makes it."

Dart International is partnering with other non-profits across the world, like
Beyond Persia in California and Tamizdat in Prague/New York City to help bring the world to Texas.

Documentary Movie فیلم مستند

FOREVER برای همیشه

With the nice 4-5 minute scene at the gravesite of

Sadegh Hedayat صادق هدایت

در آستین، تکزاس

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007 - 7 pm Austin, Texas

A very moving scene takes place at the grave of Sadegh Hedayat (1903-1951). An Iranian man, probably in his 30s, stands before the grave of his countryman while clutching a book of poetry. Hedayat, considered one of Iran’s foremost authors in the first half of the 20th century, came to Paris to escape persecution by his principal enemies – the Iranian monarchy and Islamic clergy – but even the relative calm and freedom of post-war Paris were insufficient to prevent the poet’s suicide. This young admirer has likewise become an expatriate, because, as he explains by quoting from Hedayat’s The Blind Owl, “I’m so tired of the people around me.” The man adds, “He wrote about things which people don’t dare to talk about.” When asked how he makes his living in Paris, he reveals that he is a cab driver, “but my passion is singing traditional Persian classical music.” He explains that through music he keeps in touch with his Persian culture. He has left his country, not his culture, which is ancient and very enriching. Honigmann encourages him to sing a bit. Taking his book of poems in hand, he selects lyrics adapted from a poem by Hafez, a 14th century Persian poet. As the man sings, the camera explores the veiled faces of grief-stricken statues throughout the cemetery. The images and the man’s voice, even without an understanding of the words, reflect desperate yearning for a lost homeland. This is one of the perfect examples of the poetic brilliance of the filmmaker – combining carved stone art, a human voice in song, an awareness of a bit of biography of living and dead, and a mood conveyed through color, light, shadow, and texture. Honigmann, born in Peru to Holocaust survivors and now a Dutch citizen, is obviously an artist who can appreciate the strivings and accomplishments of other creative people.

Oscar Wilde’s tomb is covered with lipstick kisses, an ironic gesture which the once-all-powerful king of late-Victorian British culture might consider amusing, since it was his love of a young man which sent him to prison and then into a short but final exile in Paris. Letters are still left for him by people touched by his brilliant, witty stories and plays a century after his death. Apollinaire, a lesser-known poet, who died during the great influenza epidemic after World War I, is still able to charm visitors with his “calligrams” – visual poems placing words into forms such as boats, palm trees, etc, which adorn his tomb. His is an example of the tombs which continue to reflect some aspect of the artistic creations of the deceased. Such tombstones and monuments were often added years after the death and many times paid for by admirers, rather than family members.

A Mirror Garden
by
Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian and Zara Houshmand

An enchanting love story, a compelling portrait of the creative spirit, and a celebration of the warmth and grace of Iranian culture, A Mirror Garden is also a genuine fairy tale whose exuberant heroine has never needed rescuing—for by embracing experience, she has always charmed her own life.

REVIEWS

“Captivating . . . Sumptuously detailed.”
-Megan O’Grady, Vogue

A Mirror Garden introduces the captivating story of a unique artist. Monir’s art is beguiling, and so is the story of how she came to be a creator and collector of beautiful things.”
–Her Majesty Queen Noor

“This thought-provoking, heartbreaking, delightful memoir spirits us across the battlefield of today’s headlines into a kaleidoscopic landscape of Iran in all its magical richness. Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian boldly follows her dream of becoming an artist in the West before following love back to a new Iran. Like a Persian Audrey Hepburn, she recounts her adventures among boorish fanatics, elegant spies, celebrities, and, best of all, her own eccentric family, with a combination of plainspoken pluck and grace under pressure that is inspiring and irresistible.”
–Tom Reiss, author of The Orientalist

After Nazanin's great success in becoming Miss Canada, Iranians around the world, and specially those in Canada and United States, have been following Nazanin very closely.

Nazanin was born in Tehran Iran  Now 24, during the turmoil of the Iranian Revolution in 1979, Nazanin's family was forced to leave all their worldly possessions behind and flea to freedom, when her father had been jailed and tortured by the Revolutionary Guard under the new regime. Awaiting execution, it was the family's escape to Europe that saved them from political persecution. Faced with adversity so early in life, the revolution impacted her core. she is a graduate of the University of British Columbia with a degree in Political Science and International Relations, and has studied in France and England. She currently studies Broadcast Journalism while balancing a successful career as a model, actress and Global Youth Facilitator.

Nazanin says her favourite job was working with youth in raising awareness of global issues and humanitarian crises, such as landmines, the poverty-disease cycle and children affected by war.

Nazanin has received dozens of awards throughout her education, and has appeared in several television shows, movies and music videos. She loves flying, sailing, kayaking and go-kart racing, and has special training in voice, drama, public speaking, dance - and bush survival skills! and was Squadron Commander and Warrant Officer First Class in the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. She is fluent in English, French and Farsi, and speaks conversational Spanish.

ايرانی الاصل بودن نازنين افشين جم ذهن او را نسبت به مسائل ايران مشغول کرد و از نوجوانی به فعاليت های بشر دوستانه علاقه مند شد.

درباره موزيک ويديوی "يک روزی" که با دکلمه پايانی که اين انقلاب، انقلابی است "پيشرو" میگوید بالاخره در ايران انقلاب می شود و اوضاع موجود در ايران نميتواند پايدار باشد.

هر چند عمق مشکلات جوانان و زنان ايران گاه می تواند انسان را نسبت به ثمربخشی تلاشهايش نا اميد کند اما او آنچه را در حد توانش بوده برای نجات جان انسان در ایران انجام داده است .

Iranian Movie

Iron Island (Jazireh Ahani)

جزیره آهنین

با شرکت علی نصیریان، حسین فرضی زاده، ندا پاکدامن

Tuesday, February 20 -2007 7 pm

Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar

A group of Sunni Arab Bandaris from Shia-majority Iran live on an abandoned oil tanker anchored in the Persian Gulf. Their commander, surrogate father, stern but loving patriarch, and religious counselor is Captain Nemat, an Islamic combination of two obsessive captains in literature—Ahab of Moby Dick and Nemo of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Giving his tenants free living quarters in exchange for their labor (including the children) in dismantling the ship for scrap metal, he may be an exploiter or a founding father. Ever vigilant against corrupting influences, Nemat punishes those who attempt to escape his rule, watch TV, or indulge in some youthful infatuations. As the boat continues to take on water slowly but surely, Nemat must decide where to lead his followers next. His choice for their “promised land” makes life on the rusty metal tanker seem blissful in contrast.

Hadi brings down the house

(San Fransisco show,Video clip) ويدئو كليپ از  شو در سانفرانسيسكو

Hadi Khorsandi was back in the San Francisco Bay Area
for the first time in many years. And boy had
we missed him!
When he ran on stage at the start of the show last night, it took
him less than two minutes to bring the audience to tears... there
wasn't a dry eye at the packed Julia Morgan Theater in Berkeley
during the 2-hour performance. My eyes are still burning this morning
and the pain in my jaws has not entirely gone away.

He may be coming to your town during his latest comedy tour.

از هادى خرسندى

در سفارت لندن یک آقای آمریکائی مهربانی بود که گفت ویزایت طول میکشد چونکه تو در ایران به دنیا آمده ای. باز هم دمش گرم که راستش را به من گفت. در این سالها من بسیاری بانوان حامله ایرانی را دیده ام که میآیند در انگلیس میزایند و بچه به بغل به میهن عزیز برمیگردند. خوب مادر من شصت سال پیش این امکانات را نداشته که از فریمان حومه مشهد به پارک رویال حومه لندن بیاید و مرا روی خشت بیندازد و بردارد ببرد. حالا من بعد از شصت سال چوبش را میخوردم.
اینها نگرانند که چون من در ایران به دنیا آمده ام ممکن است با القاعده سر و سری داشته باشم و یک وقت هواپیما بردارم بروم بزنم به یک جائی. هر وقت سوار هواپیما میشوم برای جلب اعتماد مهماندارها و اطرافیان، فوری آبجوئی، ویسکی ای سفارش میدهم و لاجرعه سر میکشم و دوباره میخواهم. اما گاهی احساس میکنم نتیجه عکس میدهد و آنها فکر میکنند این یاروی مسلمان برای اینکه دیگرا ن کمتر گناه کنند میخواهد می و مشروب داخل هواپیما را قبل از انفجار تمام کند
