PHOTOS FROM THE FRONTLINE: TIM PAGE EXHIBIT, FILM & TALK
Tim Page is showing unseen photographs from Cuba and Cambodia, and Communism, in the Art café. When communism gets to the tropics it's flavour certainly changes colours; still with plenty of red. It devolves in Cambodia into a Buddhist saffron socialism - in Cuba it becomes a carnival. The erstwhile colonial powers have left their pastel stuccos and shutters. The folk smile back even when beset with their problems of survival. There is always a synergy and an image. Afterwards, screening of "BEYOND WORDS - PHOTOGRAPHERS OF WAR", an unique documentary focusing on 24 off-camera interviews with leading photojournalists from WWII to the present. (Canada, 60mins, 2005).
