Vi får besök av en indonesisk filmare som heter Aryo Danusiri. Han visar sin dokumentär Playing Between Elephants, som skildrar återuppbyggnaden av en by i den indonesiska provinsen Aceh efter tsunamin. Filmen har blivit prisbelönt på flera internationella dokumentärfilmsfestivaler. Efter visningen har vi möjlighet att ställa frågor och prata med Aryo.

Visningen är arrangerad speciellt för MEG-programmet, men alla studenter är hjärtligt välkomna.

Synopsis
“There is an Indonesian saying that when the elephants are locked in a fight, the mousedeer would die in the middle. But in this documentary, the mousedeer does not die – instead, it manages to play between them and get what it wants. This film documents a post-tsunami and post-conflict Aceh, where an international body (UNHABITAT) that is assigned to build houses, while an Acehnese village chief leads his people through the ups and downs of the ongoing reconstruction and rehabilitation process. The film very intimately shows how complicated it is to survive a traumatic event and then experience global intervention. Rebuilding a house in post-tsunami Aceh brings into play the whole world and forces the Acehnese people learn to deal with the friction between the global and local realms.”
