About the movie "Gypsy Caravan":
Five Romani bands from four countries unite for the Gypsy Caravan tour across North America. An audience favorite at film fests worldwide, this gorgeous sound celebration documents the luscious music of top performers while interweaving real life tales of their home life. Shot by documentary icon Albert Maysles, this stirring, beautiful film takes us through the US, as well as Romania, Spain, Macedonia, and India. (Jasmine Dellal; USA; 2007; 110 min) Supported in part by 91.3 WYEP and Gypsy Cafe. Attend opening night for a chance to win dinner at Gypsy Cafe on the South Side.
