A Screening organised by the CMCA in partnership with the Alcazar Library in Marseille
On Saturday October 10th at 2:00pm, in the main auditorium of the Bibliothèque Alcazar, there will be a screening of Laura Halilovic’s documentary “Me, my Roma family and Woody Allen”, which won the First Film Award at PriMed 2010. The screening is part of the season “Mediterranean Documentary: carte blanche for the CMCA” organized in partnership with the Alcazar Library.
“Me, my Ro
ma family and Woody Allen” is about the Halilovic family which left Yugoslavia to settle in Italy in the late 1960’s. For 20 years they lived in a gypsy caravan. It is a very personal story, told with irony, about the end of the Roma’s nomadic life and the difficulties of living in a block of council flats. According to her family’s rules, Laura Halilovic should be married, but she is determined to make her own decisions, to continue fighting for her dreams. A portrait of a small community, a personal and intense vision of Roma culture.
