Film/Video A LOOK APART THE FAITH OF THE VOLCANO (LA FÉ DEL VOLCÁN) DIRECTED BY ANA POLIAK WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 2001, 7 PM $6 ($4 WALKER MEMBERS) AUDITORIUM |
Annie is a young girl who works as an assistant to a hairdresser. Her friend Danilo is a traveling scissors sharpener who bicycles the streets looking for customers. Their days are punctuated by regular meetings; their conversations drift from joyful to bitter reflections on politics, work, and their everyday lives. Director Ana Poliak is a rarity in the Argentine film world: a female director who has been able to circumvent its macho ethos in order to produce independent work that captures a less familiar but more compelling look at life. 2001, Argentina, in Spanish with English subtitles, color, 35mm, 90 minutes.
