HOMELIFE + DJ FOOD
'the joyous missing link between Aphex Twin, Jim O'Rourke and Gilles Peterson'
i-D Homelife is not a definite entity. It's hard to pin down their sound,
how many people are in the band or even which band they are in! What we
can say for certain is that they are a fantastic, jazz and funk based,
multi timbered bunch who will fill your heart with joy and your feet with
rhythm, marshalled by reluctant foreman Paddy Steer. And with 15 to 16
contributors on the most recent album for Ninja Tune, we can assure you
there'll be plenty to look at too. So in summary, a loose group of 8 or
so members come together to make pop music for all those people who thought
that somehow pop music was over. Don't miss the marvellous Homelife. £8,
£7 Concs. £6 ICA Members Theatre (standing)

IN CASABLANCA ANGELS DON'T FLY
'An assured feature debut... considerable skill and imagination' Variety
>From the rural villages of Morocco, three men travel to Casablanca
to
>earn money to send back to their families. They all end up working
at the same busy restaurant, where their time is occupied by hard work
and dreams of what their sacrifice will ultimately earn them. Said has
an illiterate pregnant wife who wants nothing more than to have her husband
back at her side; Ismail is consumed by an overwhelming desire for a pair
of expensive boots; and Ottman is desperate to prevent his mother from
selling his beloved Arab stallion to the local butcher. An affecting,
unpredictable and gently uplifting portrait of people caught between two
worlds.
Dir Mohamed Asil
Morocco/Italy, 2004, 94 mins, subs

ZIZEK: The Reality of the Virtual
Slavoj Zizek is one of the most distinguished and politically engaged

Christmas to democracy.

TALKS
@ THE ICA
Fri 10 Sept, 7pm
DORIS SALCEDO
A Lecture
Colombian artist Doris Salcedo gained international prominence through
exhibitions like Documenta 11 and last year's Istanbul Biennale for work
examining her country's political past. Often incorporating domestic furniture
and human remains like bone and hair, Salcedo's sculptures act as monuments
to the thousands of victims of the civil war whose traces were systematically
erased by the government. Inspired by her readings of philosophy (esp.
Emmanuel Levinas) and literature (Samuel Beckett, Paul Celan), her work
goes beyond the specifics of her native country. Her lecture tonight will
offer a meditation on violence, collective memory and loss.
Her numerous solo exhibitions include the New Museum for Contemporary
Art, New York (1998), Tate Gallery, London (1999), SF MOMA (1999) and
Camden Arts Centre, London (2001). £8, £7 Concs. £6

IS BELIEF NECESSARY?
John Gray and Richard Holloway
Belief is not necessary, according to philosopher John Gray. In his view,
political ideologies are surrogate religions, and religion itself should
not be primarily a matter of belief. How, then, can society and the individual
learn to do without belief? John Gray is Professor of European Thought
at the London School of Economics, and the author of False Dawn: The Delusions
of Global Capitalism, Straw Dogs: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals,
and Al-Qaeda and What It Means to Be Modern. Gray will be in conversation
with Richard Holloway, one of the most outspoken figures in the modern
church, former Bishop of Edinburgh, and Gresham Professor of Divinity
in the City of London. Holloway presented his own BBC series last autumn
and is the author of 23 books, the latest of which is Doubts and Loves.

The ICA Economist
Debate
Thurs 16 Sept, 6.45pm
IS GEORGE BUSH ADRIFT FROM AMERICA?
Most Europeans are worried by George Bush's foreign policy - his pronouncements
on the 'axis of evil', his rejection of Kyoto and his insistent unilateralism.
At least one in three Americans consider themselves conservative. Like
Bush, they go regularly to church, are against gun control, and regard
the UN as an irrelevance. But is America really as conservative as George
Bush makes it look? Would a Democrat victory in the forthcoming elections
shift the centre of American politics to the left in a sustainable way?
John Micklethwait, US editor of The Economist, author of The Right Nation:
Why America is Different, talks to Stanley Greenberg, former pollster
and campaign advisor to Clinton, author of The Two Americas: Our Current
Political Deadlock and How to Break it. Chair: Michael Portillo, MP £8,
