SUMMARY:Belmont World Film's 24th International Film Series
DESCRIPTION:Belmont World Film’s 24th International Film Series\, “Thicker Than Water\,” explores the ties that bind—and sometimes limit us—through an intimate and far-reaching collection of stories about families in all their complexity. Across cultures and continents\, these films ask what we inherit\, what we carry\, and what we owe one another. \nThe series unfolds over eight consecutive Mondays at the West Newton Cinema. After a two-week break\, the series return in June with three additional remarkable films in recognition of World Refugee Awareness Month and Pride Month. \nAll of the selections have been official entries at major film festivals\, with several receiving top honors. The films span four continents and feature ten different languages\, including Arabic\, Armenian\, Greek\, Darija\, Dutch\, French\, Greek\, Greenlandic\, Quechua\, Spanish\, and Ukrainian—reflecting the many voices and vantage points that shape our shared human story. \nOpening night\, March 30\, features the East Coast premiere of “Colors of Time” (France). The screening is preceded by a reception at the theater from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Other films include: \nApril 6: “Case 137” (France; New England premiere)\nApril 13: “The Condor Daughter” (Bolivia\, Uruguay\, Peru; East Coast premiere)\nApril 20: “In the Land of Arto” (Armenia\, France; East Coast premiere)\nApril 27: “The Incredible Snow Woman” (France\, Greenland; East Coast premiere)\nMay 4: “Hold Onto Me” (Cyprus\, East Coast premiere)\nMay 11: “Six Days in Spring” (France\, North American premiere)\nMay 18: “Porte Bagage” (Netherlands\, East Coast premiere).
