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.
The series unfolds over eight consecutive Mondays at the West Newton Cinema, at 7:00 PM. After a two-week break, the series returns in June with three additional remarkable films in recognition of World Refugee Awareness Month and Pride Month.
All of the selections were official entries at the world’s 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.
Opening night on Monday, March 30, features the East Coast premiere of Colors of Time, the latest charmer by acclaimed director Cédric Klapisch (The Spanish Apartment, Someone, Somewhere) about art and ancestry that goes back and forth in time from 1895 Belle Epoque Paris to the present. In 1895, an 18 year-old woman travels to Paris in search of her mother. Her descendants--all strangers--try to piece together her fascinating history after they inherit her country home that has been closed since 1944. The (French) star-studded cast--including Cecile de France, Sara Giradeau, Vincent Macaigne and cameos by Olivier Gourmet as Claude Monet and Phillippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sarah Bernhard. The screening is preceded by an optional reception at the theater from 5:30-6:30 PM featuring a menu from Normandy, where the film is set.
