15th Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival
The Interdepartmental Program in Film Studies' 15th Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival: Africanicities: Conflict and Community continues with Daratt (Dry Season).
Daratt (Dry Season)
"Truth arrives as grudgingly as reconciliation in Daratt. Gently and quietly told, this poignant narrative feature unfolds with the simplicity of a parable. In 2006, in the uneasy wake of the country's decades-long civil war, a fatherless boy sets out to murder a childless man." Grand Special Jury Prize, Venice Film Festival.
(dir. Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, France/Belgium/Chad/Austria, 2006, 93 min, in French and Arabic with English subtitles)
Introduced by Dale Hudson, assistant professor of English at Amherst College.
