The Strawberry Tree - Film Screening
Tuesday, March 3, 2020 | 1:00 - 2:30 pm | AQ 5067, Ellen Gee Room, Burnaby campus
Film screening and director's talk by Simone Rapisarda (Assistant Professor, School for the Contemporary Arts; Associate member, Department of Sociology & Anthropology). We will be viewing and discussing Rapisarda's film, THE STRAWBERRY TREE (Cuba/Canada) (2014).
Filmed in the remote hamlet of Juan Antonio, Cuba, only weeks before it was wiped out by a hurricane, El 谩rbol de las fresas (The Strawberry Tree) challenges the boundaries between anthropology, documentary and reverie in capturing the final sigh of one of Cuba's last fishing villages. The villagers鈥� ingeniousness and resilience, as well as their playful and irreverent relationship with the filmmaker, render a sensitive portrait of a unique culture into a reflection on documentary filmmaking and on humanity on the edge of time.
Rescheduled from Feb 4th due to the weather/campus closure.
