ENFF On Tour

Eighty Plus

Special

Ontdek

In this gently comic and deeply human film, Stevan, an elderly jazz pianist, defies expectations of old age in the Balkans. Želimir Žilnik’s documentary-style approach, blending actors and non-actors, captures the generational gap and the echoes of a complex history – from the Austro-Hungarian era to post-socialist Serbia. With warmth and humour, the film celebrates the right of elderly people to live fully  and offers a comic yet profound look on life.
 
Eastern Neighbours Film Festival is back at LHC! ENFF began in The Netherlands in 2006 with the idea to offer Dutch and international audiences a unique glimpse into the cinema of their neighbours from Central, South, and Southeast Europe.  After the screening you are welcome to join us at Das Kabinett for informal drinks until 16:30 hours.

Omschrijving

Eastern Neighbours Film Festival is back at LHC with a screening of Eighty Plus. When his ancestral home is slated for restitution, 80-year-old Stevan returns to his homeland to face family tensions, generational divides, and the absurdities of bureaucracy in this tenderly comic story, directed by Žilnik, a pioneer of the Yugoslav Black Wave.
