Films are screened in English or their native language with subtitles, most of which will be read aloud via headphones for young readers, and many are being screened in the US for the first time. $12 and $10, respectively, at the door.Belmont World Film ‘s 16th Annual Family Festival, “Where Stories Come Alive,” offers nearly four full days of some of the world’s best films for children and adults, as well as a live concert on opening night accompanying the silent films of George Méliès (the subject of Martin Scorcese’s Hugo) and a live version of WBUR’s “ Circle Round,” which sold out last year at the Regent. Tickets: $11 general admission, $9 seniors & students in advance. The screening will be followed by a discussion and rebetiko performance by: Sandra Theodorou, a musician who specializes in traditional Greek regional music and Greek urban rebetika, as well as chairperson of the Traditional Greek Music Department at Boston Lykeion Ellinidon Kosma Vrouvlianis, a Rebetika expert and musician from Pendalofo, Greece, Dean Lambros on santouri, and Mark Pattison on baghlama. Together they journey back to Lesbos using the same overland route taken by many Syrians today. The film’s eponymous heroine, a young and spirited Greek woman living on the island of Lesbos, is sent on an errand in Turkey where she meets up with a 19 year-old French girl whose plans to help migrants at the Syrian border backfire.
The subculture of “rebetiko,” an emotionally charged storytelling and singing style that spread from poor urban communities in Greece and Turkey to the islands of the Aegean, is at the heart of this spin on Southern Europe’s current financial woes and migrant worries. Tickets must be reserved by May 11, no exceptions (movie tickets must be purchased separately see below).
