1. From the 3.-7. February Parkteatret hosts the second "Human rights Human wrongs" film festival. Over the space of 5 days you can watch 25 movies on a variety of topics, with tickets costing 50 NOK for a single film or 100 NOK for a day pass. Why are we telling you now? Because Parkteatret kicks off the festival with a sneak preview next week. On wednesday the 27th 7PM you can watch "The Yes Men Fix the World" at Parkteatret, which is on Olaf Ryes Plass in the Grünerløkka neighbourhood. The idea of the "Yes men": pose as global capitalisms worst villains and say stupid things in order to humiliate them. The movie is guaranteed to be both hilariously funny and thought provoking at the same time. Tickets are 80 NOK. We hope to bring you more on the "Human Rights Human Wrongs" film festival next week, and until then check out their webpage at www.humanfilm.no.
2. Elton John once sang "Saturday night's all right for fighting". I prefer dancing. And fridays. One opportunity is "Klubb Kadanza" which takes place for the first time this friday at 8PM in Klubbscenen at Chateau Neuf. The main act is the band "Under Dogs International" which plays Balkan inspired rock music. Helping you warm up and cool down before and after the concert are the DJs from Radio Nova's very own funk show "Funkiga Timman" (Funky times?) which airs on Radio Nova every wednesday 10-11PM. As mentioned, "Klubb Kadanza" kicks off this friday at 8PM, tickets are 50NOK, 30NOK if you are a member of studentersamfundet.
3. Also on friday, the International Students Union hosts a "Semester Kick Off" party at Uglebo cafe in the Sophus Bugge Building, right in the heart of Blindern. As I am writing this, the exact program has not yet been revealed, but in a bar filled to the brim with foreign students, I am sure you will find plenty of opportunity to chat, drink, dance and flirt. Join the facebook event to keep updated, the event starts at 6PM and to the best of our knowledge is free of charge.
4. And if all you long for is to sit back on your or somebody else's couch and mellow out, you have an excellent chance already tonight. Every sunday, the Student Pub "Amatøren" in the Sogn student village hosts a movie night. Snacks and drinks can be purchased at affordable prices, but watching the movie itself is free. On the program tonight is Cameron Crowes marvelous epic "Almost Famous". Remember, it's all happening. Unfortunately, the Amatøren homepage does not say exactly when the movie is happening, but based on previous experience, I'd say around 7PM.
