KENEDI GOES BACK HOME
Symposium
If one needed any reassurance that the subject of “Roma in (ex-) Yugoslavia” is also present on screen beyond the pop-variation á la “Balkan gypsies”, perhaps the most impressive example would be Želimir Žilnik’s KENEDI trilogy, from which we will be presenting part one, dating from 2003. A time marked by war and migration, not dissimilar to our present day, which already back then led to individuals being displaced to their alleged “homelands”. Kenedi and the other protagonists of this equal parts funny and educational film possess a perfect command of the Swabian dialect and are also otherwise multicultural and polyglot: humans.
