THE ATTIC 36 REGAL BUILDINGS, NEW DELHI TEL: 23746050
monday 9th april
6.30 pm “The Time of The Gypsies” – a film screening in honour of
International Roma Day
International Roma Day is celebrated on and around April 8th all over
the world to honour the Roma community and raise awareness about their
history, culture and the ongoing challenges they face in terms of
social and economic inclusion and access to basic amenities and
opportunities.
The Roma constitute Europe’s largest ‘ethnic’ minority, yet many
continue to exist on the margins of society despite having lived there
for generations.
The Roma have Indian roots, now fertilized by other cultures they have
come in contact with over the centuries. The Indo-Romani connection is
often forgotten or minimized, but still endures in language, music and
cultural traditions.
On Monday, April 9th, we will celebrate International Roma Day at The
Attic in the heart of India’s capital, New Delhi.
A short introduction by Dr Punita Singh will be followed by the
screening of Serbian film director Emir Kusturica’s masterpiece ‘The
Time of The Gypsies’.
Filmed in Serbia and Italy, ‘The Time of the Gypsies’ tells the story
of a young Gypsy teenager Perhan with magical powers who is tricked
into engaging in petty crime. The film follows his passage from
boyhood to manhood, starting in a little village in Yugoslavia, ending
in the criminal underworld of Milan. The film is widely considered to
be one of Kusturica's finest and won him the best director award at
the Cannes film festival in 1989. It also has an award-winning
soundtrack composed by Goran Bregović.

Hi Prashant,
Most probably no tickets required. You can check on their telephone
number (23746050) tomorrow. It's in CP on Sansad Marg, in the Regal
Building.
