DESCRIPTION

Travelling across Europe, the Roma stop in a French village where they have occasionally worked in the vineyards for several months. A war orphan, little Claude, whose parents have “gone away and never returned” is following their footsteps. A new law from the Vichy government is banning the nomadic lifestyle. The town’s mayor, Theodore and Miss Lundi, a teacher from the elementary school are trying to protect and help Roma people. Theodore sells them a piece of land to settle and to save them from internment and repression. However, people with free souls cannot stay there for long. Making a film about Samudaripen – the Roma Genocide, a silenced and poorly documented part of history, has been Gatlif’s desire since the beginning of his career.

DIRECTOR
Tony Gatlif (1948) French director, screenwriter and music maker. Born as Michel Dahmani in Algiers, than emigrated to France after Algerian independence. He started out as an actor and soon found himself on the other side of the camera. An original, transnational European filmmaker who is constantly on the move, always looking for new images and sounds to transform into films. Tony Gatlif's films are often linked to issues of deterritorialization and migration, and address multiple representations of the Other. He is seen by many as the voice of the Roma communities in Europe. Gatlif has received numerous awards and accolades at international film festivals, including Best Director at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival for "Exiles".
