In the not-too-distant future the aging gene has been switched off. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for luxuries and necessities. The rich can live forever, while the rest try to negotiate for their immortality. A poor young man who gets the fortune of lots of time (Justin Timerlake), though too late to help his mother from dying. He ends up on the run from a police force known as 'time keepers'.

A good script, a brilliant Cillician Murphy (Batman Begins) as time keeper and a new story made a very special thriller. Subtle science to drive the viewer in a dark labyrinth. Spectacular in details and art to use ordinary pieces, the film has slices of social crisis and family problems, self definition and daily illusions.

Clearly produced to support the current Occupy Movement.

Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp) is a freelance journalist who finds himself at a critical turning point in his life while writing for a run-down newspaper in the Caribbean. Paul is challenged on many levels as he tries to carve out a more secure niche for himself amidst a group of lost souls all bent on self-destruction.

Don’t expect Depp’s humor from Pirates of the Carribean, don’t expect any big action scenes as in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas or the romance from Chocolat. This movie was made for Hunter S. Thompson. That was really Johnny Depp's main focus. His goal is never to make the number one movie. He doesn't want to be a box office star. He wants to make movies that mean something to him and that is exactly what he did with The Rum Diary. With that said, he made a beautiful film for his late friend. He played Hunter S. Thompson so wonderfully and stayed true to his character. Johnny honored his friend in the best way that he could, and did a phenomenal job.

In the early 1970s during the Cold War, the head of British Intelligence, Control, resigns after an operation in Budapest, Hungary goes badly wrong. It transpires that Control believed one of four senior figures in the service was in fact a Russian agent - a mole - and the Hungary operation was an attempt to identify which of them it was.

Smiley had been forced into retirement by the departure of Control, but is asked by a senior government figure to investigate a story told to him by a rogue agent, Ricky Tarr, that there was a mole. Smiley considers that the failure of the Hungary operation and the continuing success of Operation Witchcraft (an apparent source of significant Soviet intelligence) confirms this, and takes up the task of finding him.

Through the efforts of Peter Guillam, Smiley obtains information that eventually leads him to Jim Prideaux, the agent at the heart of the Hungary fiasco...

In a coded manner, Ben Thynal looks at the selfish nature of human relationships from the familial to the religious. By referring to his “family” Thynal immediately suggests something intimate and personal, but alludes to society as a whole. Unapologetically, he discards the “politically correct” view and looks critically at how families often manipulate and exploit each other for personal gain, the pretense of religious rituals and even the abuse of corruption.

“When even one person acts selfishly, it hurts everyone,” Thynal explains.

One painting, titled “Immoral,” depicts a mother with long snake-like arms trying to catch children out of the air while a “thought bubble” is filled with playing cards. The mother preys upon her own children to make money that she only wastes by gambling. Another shows a tightly wound group of people trapped in a circular formation—their smiling faces purposely misleading when paired with the title “Monster Family.” In “Balance” several intertwined figures that represent a network of self-serving individuals fill an egg-like shape that balances on another small egg and small red circle resting precariously on a thin line.

In each of the paintings, the cartoon-like figures belie the menacing subject and hint at the contradiction between one’s inner nature and the external expression.

Thynal, part of the new generation of outspoken and critical artists, has explored several themes that are socially-focused including landmines, the environment and the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge. He works as an art teacher at Mith Samlanh, one of the leading NGOs working with vulnerable youth and their communities. He graduated from Phare Ponleu Selpak (Battambang) in 2006 and his work has been exhibited in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. This will be his second solo show.

Viewing hours: every day 7am – 10pm

The Halo of the Omnipresent Eye by Than Sok is a solo exhibition presenting interactive sculptures and installations through which the artist seeks to provoke questions around the practice of monetary alms-giving in Cambodia while playfully drawing connections between the roles of monastics and artists.

Although some monks commit to permanent vows, monkhood in Cambodia is traditionally considered a right of passage in which young males are expected to serve temporary terms intended as merit-building activities for parents. Due in part to a shift in almsgiving practices in which laity replace food with cash offerings - a practice antagonistic to precepts meant to prevent monks from indulgences including the handling of money - many young men can now consider monkhood as an opportunity to escape poverty, relocate to urban centers, participate in secular education, and are seen as participating in laic life before disrobing. Still, alms remain a central practice and symbol of the sangha, or Buddhist community, and provide the opportunity for givers to earn merit for a better rebirth.

The Halo of the Omnipresent Eye stages the artist’s own alms scenarios in the gallery. To Give Is To Receive I and II (2012) reconfigure materials and forms used in exchanges between monks and laity. The pair of alms stations are presided over by representational halos associated with divine knowing – a reminder that intention, the source of good or bad action, which is invisible, is “visible” via its karmic effect.

Than Sok (born 1984, Takeo) investigates religious and spiritual beliefs, materials, and rituals through sculpture, installation, video and performance. Than graduated from Reyum Art School (2005), Reyum Workshop (2007) and is currently studying architecture.
