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.


In Lost Land, four-year-old Shafi and his nine-year-old sister Somira leave a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh on a perilous journey to reach Malaysia In the hope of reuniting with their scattered family. The first-ever Rohingya-language film and featuring an all-Rohingya cast. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Venice International Film Festival.


This Linda Plaut Festival of the Arts program is supported by Spark Newton in partnership with The City of Newton
