In Focus: Romani Stories by Romani (Female) Directors

ENFF is proud to present a very special focus program which we will celebrate as a warm-up festival event a month earlier: from 18th til 20th of March. We will show films that deal with the Romani community and are directed / written/ produced by Roma film makers. Their films highlight themes such as freedom, political and personal identity, fears, dreams and hopes of the nation that for centuries felt unsettled and unwelcome in so many countries in the world.

Raul Santana, a Spanish pianist based in The Netherlands, will play jazz improvisation inspired by traditional Roma music at the official opening of our film program.

Join us from 18-20 March in Kriterion Amsterdam and Filmhuis Den Haag.
