'Gay Zombie Porn Flick' Pulled from
Aussie Film Festival
MELBOURNE, KOMPAS.com - A “gay zombie porn” flick which shows aliens engaging in
necrophilia has been pulled from Australia’s biggest film festival after being
rejected by censors, organisers said Tuesday.(1) (2) “L.A.
Zombie”, which
also features homosexual sex and full-frontal male nudity, is the first film in
seven years to be banned from screening at the Melbourne International Film
Festival, which starts on July 22.
Festival director Richard Moore told The
Age newspaper
he had received a letter from censors denying classification to the film by
Canadian director Bruce LaBruce. Described by Moore as a “video art zombie
film”, “L.A. Zombie” stars French porn actor Francois Sagat
as a man convinced he’s an alien zombie sent to Earth to roam the streets of
Los Angeles in search of dead bodies and gay sex.
Moore has defended the festival’s attempt to
show the film, telling public broadcaster ABC that the public has a right to
judge it for themselves.
“They know they’re not gonna go and see
Fantasia or Bambi,” said Moore. “L.A. Zombie” will have its world premiere
next week in Locarno, Switzerland.
Last
year’s festival drew protests from China and had its website hacked over the
decision to show “Ten
Conditions of Love”, a biopic of Uighur activist Rebiya Kadeer.
N.Korean Leader Transfers Secret Fund
to Son
SEOUL, KOMPAS.com - North Korea’s ailing
leader Kim Jong-Il is transferring his secret personal wealth to his youngest
son and likely successor, a Seoul-based radio station said Wednesday. The
transfer of money has been managed by Ri Chol, who stepped down in April as the
communist country’s ambassador to Switzerland, said Open Radio for North Korea,
which specialises in North Korean news.
Ri has been considered one of Kim’s closest
aides and looks after his secret funds abroad, it said. Analysts say Kim’s
personal funds have been dwindling because of economic difficulties and
tightened international sanctions on the reclusive communist state.
There have
been widespread reports that Kim Jong-Un, 27, is being groomed to take over from his
68-year-old father, who suffered a stroke in August 2008.(3) (4) Some
analysts say the North is likely to designate Kim Jong-Un as the leader’s
political heir when it convenes a rare meeting of key communist party delegates
in September.
South
Korea’s spy chief Won Sei-Hoon said last month that Kim Jong-Il’s poor health
was driving him to speed up preparations to transfer power to his son, who has
been taking a greater role in policy-making. Kim Jong-Il took over from his own
father, founding president Kim Il-Sung who died in 1994, in the communist
world’s only dynastic succession.
Disaster Vigilance More Needed, Not
Just Assistance
KOMPAS.com — News of troubling disasters are often just
next door. Here at the capitol, disasters come in rows. In Jakarta, floods and
fire are routines for decades. However, the anticipation and handling have
never been effective.
"When there is fire, just try to save yourself and the kids. If you have time, then salvage some valuables, if not just escape," said 43 year old Paiman, a citizen from Pasar Rumput, South Jakarta, Wednesday.
Paiman - and most people in the dense residential areas found all over Jakarta - don't know how to anticipate a fire. They don't even realize that disaster is always waiting to happen. They can only think of spontaneous reactions like running away.
The unpreparedness can be seen from the lack of facilities and ability of the people to suppress the potential of disasters. In the slum areas water source for firefighting is unavailable, and almost none of the people have fire-extinguishers.
The condition of the houses and environment is also terrible. The houses are cramped together, built with wooden boards, jutting out to the rivers, with poor ventilation, having only one entry/exit point, and built along narrow alleys barely a meter wide. (5)
Electricity usage is also uncontrolled. It's common to find an extension plugged full. Drainage is appaling and mostly non functional.
The Jakarta Fire Department and Disaster Management record, everyday there is one to three fires. Mostly are mass fires burning down more than a house.
Last Wednesday, at 4.45 pm, on Dwiwarna street, Sawah Besar, Central Jakarta, 25 houses were reported to have burnth down. The fire was triggered by a short-circuit.(6) (7) Since January till December 2009, approximately 700 fire incidents have occurred in Jakarta
"Fires are mostly caused by the carelessness and ignorance of the owner for a certain facility. For instance, the use of electrical appliances, or not knowing when to convert from oil stoves to gas ones. On the other hand, we admit that the firefighting facilities are also limited," said the Jakarta Fire Department and Disaster Management chief Paimin Napitupulu.(8)
Relying on help
Do the people and government know what situation causes the disasters to repeat? Yes, they do know. However, the applied handling progam doesn't solve the problem.
Sociologist Imam Prasojo said that so far the government had only played the role of helper. Because of this the people are set to just rely on help rather than changing their habits.
The government also have more trainings on disaster handling, which is more like a parade, rather than focus to educate the people to be vigilant against disasters.
For example, the flood alert training done several times in areas prone to inundations along Ciliwung river, such as Lenteng Agung, South Jakarta. The Jakarta government mobilized the people, NGOs, and other government institutions to clean the river together. The event is followed with an evacuation training for flood victims.
Such an event is almost always done before the rain season. But, afterward, obviously the river is still full of garbage.
When the flood occurs the people choose to remain in their homes or evacuate and queue for food at the government posts. The habit of littering, occupying the river-sides, and other bad habits are still pesistent.
North Jakarta has a different story. The council chief of Kalibaru subdistrict, Cilincing, Fhylis said that in 2002 all the heads of neighborhood received fire-extinguishers. They were trained on how to use the extinguishers, but not how to care and refill them. A year afterward, the idle extinguishers were useless.
Urban observer, Yayat Supriyatna notices that the government has forgotten that the essence of disaster anticipation is to mobilize the communities in villages, office areas, apartements or flats, or anywhere to be vigilant. Routine trainings on how to handle fire, to provide water sources independantly, to set evacuation routes, and also to campaign the proper use of electrical appliances and gas, have been done only sporadically.
Researcher on economy and social issues from the University of Indonesia Nuzul Achjar added that if necessary there should be simulations and trainings every week. Routine trainings would also be a campaign opportunity for Jakarta's city planning. An intensive approach would also accomodate the government to plan for the dense residential areas by evoking the awareness of the locals.
"If all these were done, there'd be no need for enforced relocations. A sense of security would be achieved." (ART/ARN/NEL/C17-09)
