14th Annual Bridges to the World Film Festival
14th Annual Bridges to the World Film Festival
14th Annual "Bridges to the World International Film Festival", featuring five foreign films over five weeks will be presented virtually on Zoom Webinar. The Festival, sponsored by World Artists Experiences, features five films from five countries. It will run for five weeks on Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time, beginning February 1 and ending March 1.
A film from a different country will be shown each week. The films were selected and provided by the embassies to represent their country's spirit and art of film making. Each film will be introduced and followed by a discussion. Films will be shown with English subtitles.
On February 1,"Petit Paysan" from France will be screened, followed on February 8 with "Khmer Rice Noodles" from Cambodia. On February 15, "The Blind Orchestra" from Morocco will be featured. On February 22 will be "Guatemala: On the Edge of Discovery". The Festival will end on March 1 with "Guerrilla" from Bangladesh.
The first Film, "Petit Paysan" from France, is a naturalistic and yet suspenseful drama about the challenges faced by a young dairy farmer. The premise seems rather unusual, but the performances of a strong cast generates a low-key thriller and a socio-economic commentary.
