The Little Gypsy Witch

Director  Tomislav Zaja

  • Croatia


An urban Roma family lives in the suburbs of a big city; the father Hrast (33), the mother Aska (30), their daughter Manusha (10) and Granny Ilonka (55), Aska’s mother, a well-known fortune teller. Granny Ilonka dies suddenly, Aska is dismissed from her job in the light-bulb factory, while Hrast ‘loses his ear’, so he is fired from the funeral band in which he was a trumpet player. The family has suddenly lost all sources of income. After their electricity and phone is cut off, Aska reluctantly takes on her mother’s customers and begins fortune telling, while unsuccessfully sends applications for any kind of job. Manusha does not like going to school, because the other children refuse to accept her. They tease her and torment her, because she’s different from them. Manusha misses her grandmother, because her parents, burdened by the problems of bare survival, do not have time for a little girl, and they do not notice that something strange is happening in the house. Something like a sulphur smell permeates the house, and Manusha’s new class-mate and only friend in school Zdenko (9), the undertaker’s son, explains that this means her deceased grandmother is angry.

Bright and Dark

Director: Andrea Simon

  • Germany

 

Anna, Julius, Lea and Céline are 10 years old. They perform together in the dance theatre piece “Minotaurus”. “Minotaurus is a symbol for being alone, and for rage …” (Lea). Three of the children mob the fourth into the deepest loneliness…... At home in the privacy of their rooms these middle class children feel great. Everything seems to be fine. But still they tell of fears, insecurity. They play with passion and simultaneously reflect on being un-free, being grown up, about themselves and others “Boys? Oh, puke!” (Anna) and, of course, about the rehearsals, dancing, public performance and the content in “their” theatre piece. The film links the children’s private lives and quiet portraits with sequences from the exciting “Minotaurus” production. “The beginning of the play is bright, the end is dark” (Julius). Dance is sparely interwoven as a black/white cipher for the turbulent relationships of the children and gives the story its framework as a generally applicable metaphor about being a child. Humour and Profoundness / Bright and Dark. “Best of all was being so wild and free” (Céline). A film for everybody aged 6 and older.
