The Cine-eye is used as a logo for the Cine'Club because all these movies, fictions, documentaries or experimentals films question the world where we live ; past, present and future ; the work, the dream, human's relations, love, desire, friendship and missed connections...<br /></p> <p><img src="http://saigon.actifilms.net/public/./.Cine_MannaWeekly_m.jpg" alt="Cine_MannaWeekly.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0 auto;" /><br /></p> <p><strong>HISTORY</strong><br /></p> <p>''Born in June 06, Cine’Berlin began in Berlin Club with 3 screenings on Sunday nights, with the help of Christian, the manager, and Pier Laurenza. After the departure of Christian, we had to stop the screening there and find another place. One year later, the screenings, called Cine’Manna, started again in « quality» conditions at Manna Lounge with the help of Florent Moncan, the manager. Every Sunday night, 7 movies were screened in original version, with english subltitles, preceded by a short film, attracting an increasing public of expats and locals (from 20 to 60 people on the last screening). Infortunately, regarding to the new orders of the direction who wants to change the lounge into a vietnamese disco, the Cine’Club was one more time in exile…''<br /></p> <p><strong>PROJECT</strong><br /></p> <p>''Knowing the cinema offer in Hcmc and in Vietnam, the Cine’Club is born in 2006, following the demand by a few group of expats and locals, all movie-goers who were not satisfied of the commercial distributors offer (Megastar, Galaxy, Phuoc Sang…). Knowing that in Hcmc, locals and foreigners don't have access to so many movies, this cine-club aims to attract a large public on sunday rest time and especially the young generation (locals, vietkieu or foreigners) such as young filmmakers and cinema students... Knowing that the vietnamese and vk cinema is growing month after month, that there are more and more young filmmakers, this weekly event in a lovely and confortable place wishes to be a new rendez-vous to discover cinema classics and independant movies from all over the world, most of them having been awarded in prestigious festivals, and meet passionate people.''<br /></p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/saigontoine/CineMannaJunJul07/photo#s5104349398378410162" hreflang="en">Cine'Manna posters, June-July 07</a><br /></p> <p><strong>Hopefully, Cine-Eye will come back in October 07 in Cantina Central Saigon !</strong></p> http://saigon.actifilms.net/post/2007/09/03/CineManna-June-July-07#comment-form http://saigon.actifilms.net/post/2007/09/03/CineManna-June-July-07#comment-form http://saigon.actifilms.net/feed/rss2/comments/156517
