In this installment of Mr. Frischeisen's series, we will hear about the author's travels through Iran. In an earlier presentation, Mr. Fischeisen told an audience, “I think there’s a great misunderstanding of the faith of Islam. I was in a hotel in Iran, and there was a Christmas tree there. Now, this is the world of Muslims. I asked them about it, and they said the Koran says ‘To me my religion, and to you, yours.’ That’s pretty generous, right? It’s not narrow-minded. That’s acceptance.” If you need disability-related assistance in order to attend this event, please contact the FPL Front Desk at 641-472-6551, Ext. 2.

"The Dimming" - Special Showing of Documentary on Climate Engineering

Our skies are being filled with deadly particulates from ongoing aerosol operations, over most of the world. Geoengineering Watch has released a groundbreaking documentary, “The Dimming,” that conclusively exposes the existence of global weather intervention operations. This documentary covers the effect of these global programs in regards to Earth’s collapsing food webs, declining populations, mass wildlife die offs, and the rapid degrading of Mother Nature’s systems of renewal. Global weather engineering operations are a reality. Atmospheric particle testing has now proven that the lingering, spreading jet aircraft trails, so commonly visible in our skies, are not just condensation as we have officially been told. These global climate-engineering programs are the single most environmentally destructive assault the human race has ever unleashed against Earth’s entire web of life. Who is responsible for carrying out these programs? What will the consequences be if geoengineering/solar radiation management operations are continued? “The Dimming” documentary will provide answers to these questions and many more. It will layout the scientific facts regarding the devastation that is now upon our beloved planet Earth. Thank you for joining our showing of “The Dimming” on March 25, and for notifying others. All are needed in the critical battle to wake up populations to what is happening and we must make every day count. The Fairfield Film Group thanks you for giving this your time and consideration! You are invited to stay and join our discussion following the showing of “The Dimming.”

Cinema Fairfield: Heat and Dust

Cross-cutting between two generations, James Ivory’s sprawling epic of self-discovery is also a lush evocation of the prismatic and sensuous beauty of India. As she searches for answers to the mystery surrounding a long-ago affair between her aunt Olivia (Greta Scacchi) and an Indian prince (Shashi Kapoor), Anne (Julie Christie) becomes immersed in the local culture, the pull of the past simultaneously leading her into a clearer view of her own future. Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s screenplay adapts her own novel to great effect, and Richard Robbins and Zakir Hussain provide the haunting score. The film earned the Merchant Ivory team 9 BAFTA nominations and a Palme d’Or nomination at Cannes for director James Ivory.

Zakir Hussain is preforming at the center on March 31st!

Zakir Hussain and Masters of Percussion

Since 1996, Zakir Hussain has served as curator, conductor, and producer to bring the very cream of Indian music and world percussion to tour America and Europe with his series, Zakir Hussain and Masters of Percussion.

Growing out of his renowned international tabla duet tours with his father, the legendary Ustad Allarakha, Masters of Percussion began as a platform for both popular and rarely heard rhythm traditions from India. While performing and collaborating in India for a few months every year, Zakir has sought and unearthed lesser-known folk and classical traditions which feed into the greater stream of Indian music, playing an educational role in affording them greater visibility, as well as introducing them to audiences in the West. Over time, the constantly changing ensemble has expanded to include great drummers and percussionists from many world traditions.

All of it creates a truly beautiful field from which he can bring Masters of Percussion to the West. This year will be no exception, presenting American audiences with extraordinary, exciting and spontaneous combinations of percussive as well as melodic performances.

The results are absolutely unforgettable. Critics and audiences agree — Masters of Percussion really delivers.
