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 The Condor Daughter a young woman lives in the community of Totorani, high in the Bolivian Andes. Her adoptive mother has dutifully taught her the ancient ways of midwifery, including the tender Quechua songs that are believed to help safely usher newborns into the world. But while she loves, respects, and is expected to continue this tradition, she dreams of discovering the wider world on her own and longs to become a folkloric music star in the city.


Speaker: Susan Kalt, an award-winning linguistic researcher and language educator, focusing on the Quechua and Spanish languages.
