Aferim!
Cinema event at Springville Center for the Arts
Friday, October 6 at 8pm
Aferim!, winner of the Berlin Film Festival, is about two riders who cross a barren landscape in the middle of Wallachia in 1835. They are the gendarme Costandin and his son. Together they are searching for a gypsy slave who has run away and is suspected of having an affair with the noble’s wife. While the unflappable Costandin comments on every situation with a cheery aphorism, his son takes a more contemplative view of the world.
On their odyssey they encounter people of different nationalities and beliefs: Turks and Russians, Christians and Jews, Romanians and Hungarians. Each harbors prejudices against the others which have been passed down from generation to generation. And even when the slave Carfin is found, the adventure is far from over…
Tickets are $5 at the door.
