Screening first from Italy is the haunting film, Trifolie, (PG). A bittersweet portrait of a vanishing rural way of life.
Dalia travels to the Piedmont region of Italy to care for her aging grandfather, an expert forager of rare white truffles. Guided by his loyal dog Birba, she goes hunting for a prizewinning truffle to save her grandfather from eviction.
Screening second is an intriguing film from Japan, The Cats Of Gokogu Shrine, (G). The street cats of a coastal Japanese village are followed and their interactions with the local residents recorded.
The documentary maker observes their coexistence, and explores the challenges and joys of living with them, as well as the cultural and economic changes the cats have brought to the area.
These films will screen on Saturday, May 30 at 6pm and Sunday, May 31 at 5pm.
