Phnom Penh: there is a screening of the amazing documentary KEEP THE RIVER TO YOUR RIGHT” (7PM) at Meta House.
In 1955, 34-year-old gay Jewish painter Tobias Schneebaum, who had grown up in Brooklyn, trekked into the Peruvian Amazon. Schneebaum formed an intimate bond with the members of one tribe whose males were physically intimate but also attacked another village, killed most of its inhabitants, and cooked and ate parts of them. His 1969 memoir “Keep the River On Your Right” became a cult classic. Filmmakers David and Laurie Gwen Shapiro convinced him to return to that momentous place in 1999, at the age of 78. (2000, 94 min). Our “screenDocs” double bill also features the Cambodian community media film “FOREST IS OUR FUTURE”.
