Tilos Middle-East Party (Club)

Gödör, 14th March, from 20:00, 1200 ft
Erzsébet tér [map]
Pest Centre, VI, Deák tér (M1/2/3), 1 min

Not precisely 'hard rock' from the Middle East, but the next best thing. Belly dancing, tea tasting and jazz fusion concerts followed by a wild Middle Eastern dance party. More details about this Tilos event here.

Watcha Clan (Concert)

Millenaris Park, 14th March, 1200 ft
Kirókus u. 16- 20. [map]
Buda II, Széna tér (T4/6), 5 min

'Altruistic dealers in cultures and humanities, they juggle rhythms and languages (French, Arabic, Hebrew, English) to the beat of the memories they have, the people they meet and the places they see.' Watcha??? In other words, world rhythms, unpredictable vocals and plenty of bass from this Marseille outfit.

Jigoku (Film)

LUMU 14th March, 18.00, 600 ft
Komor Marcell u. 1 [map] [filmklub program]
Pest, IX, Boraros tér (T 4,6), 8 min

Bizarre, influential and shocking, this sixties Japanese horror depicts a young Japanese man's descent into hell. Powerful enough to make you re-examine the way you live your life, apparently. It's in Japanese with English subtitles, and the trailer is here.

All That Cinema (Exhibition)

Ludwig Museum, until 30th March
Komor Marcell u. 1 [map]
Pest South, IX Millenniumi Kulturális Központ (T2) 3 min

Video art in Hungary is barely 20 years old but the Ludwig museum has already amassed quite a collection. So this is a sort of 'best of' from the video vaults, mostly from the last decade.

50% Depeche Mode-klub (Club)

Filter Club, 14th March, from 20:00, Free
Almássy utca 1 [map]
Pest, VII, Blaha Lujza tér (M2, T4/6), 5 min

Depeche Mode are ridiculously popular in Hungary, even at half strength. But why is tonight only 50 percent proof? Are they playing fifty percent of the songs? Has the band been split in two? He-mode? Depech? Echemo? Only Fil has the answer.
