Underground

WAFS invites you this Friday 1st of May to see the screening of "Underground" by Emir Kusturica.

Synopsis:

"Once upon a time there was a country..." This satire spans the history of Yugoslavia from World War II, passing through the Cold War, to the Balcan wars. The story evolves within an underground factory of weapons in Belgrade, whose dwellers are fooled for years that the War is going on. And how can they realise the truth if each time they decide to escape, they have the more reason to believe the lie?
Kusturica's black, yet heartful humour and Bregovic's music make this film a modern classic.

Days of Glory

WAFS invites you this Sunday 26th of April to see the screening of "Days of Glory" by Rachid Bouchareb.

Synopsis:

This film follows the fate of a handful of Algerian soldiers who have volunteered to liberate France from the hands of the Nazis. But Said, Yassir, Messaoud, Abdelkader and Martinez must fight not merely the Third Reich, but also the indignity of the French army, who sees them as cannon fodder rather than soldiers. As the tagline affirms, this is "the true story of World War II's forgotten heroes".
