Cafe Luna Presents:

Thursday, June 11, 7:00 PM – Film “Occupation 101″

The Lunavision film series, curated by Peter Ray, presents “Occupation 101” in the bi-monthly series  The 2006 film, subtitled “Voice of the Silenced Majority “ and made by Libyan-born American brothers Abdallah and Sufyan Meish, deals with Israeli-Palestinian relations, and it has polarized many viewers. Some take it as an indictment of Israeli and American policies against a victimized population, and a condemnation of the world press for ignoring the effects of those policies. Others consider the film propaganda designed to evoke sympathy for Palestinians and contempt for Israel. Peter Ray says that there will be a discussion to follow the 90-minute screening. The film does not necessarily reflect the opinions of Cafe Luna or of GoVashon.com.

Friday, June 12, 7:30 PM – Matthew Moeller

“Cap’n Matt,” as he’s known, writes and sings songs about his home, Puget Sound. Born and raised in the area and having learned his trade aboard tallships, schooners, steamers and ferryboats, he spins the yarns of an old salt come home from the sea, and he does it with a sound that Victory Review critic Tom Peterson calls “originals that evoke life on the ocean without turning cloying or to parody.” Moeller sings about “the expected characters, old salts whose ships may never come in, gentle drunks, wise sailors and blind fiddlers, but with a wink in his voice.”

Saturday, June 13, 7:30 PM – Cort Armstrong

Cort Armstrong will perform with his National guitar  for an early evening of Chicken Pickin’ music. The show will feature Armstrong singing and playing from his repertoire of original music as well as traditional old-time country music and blues from the Appalachian Mountain region of North Carolina.
