one Day in a Roma settlement in Romania - Rolling Film Festival

Dear Friends,
Rolling Film Festival is rolling for the second
time and it is with a great pleasure that we
received and watched more than 70 films
made by and about Roma, double the number
we received for the 1 st edition.
This illustrates that there are more and more
people involved in understanding Roma
culture, history, art – and also the struggle
that Roma people are unfortunately facing
every day.
This shows also that the misrepresentation,
stereotypes and social injustice towards
Roma in the world continues and that we are
challenged to fight against it.
These films need to be shown; these stories
to be listened to.
The Rolling team hopes that you will be
inspired by all the different stories that the
storytellers will tell during these four nights
in Pristina and later on the road in Kosovo.
While these stories are in their particulars by
and about Roma, the success of the storytellers
is that they are also universal stories of
the clash of tradition and modernity, of loss
and hope, of home and new frontiers, of pride
and prejudice, of humor and despair.
The films come from different countries, as
the Roma have spread all around the world
through some ten centuries; from different
environments, and in different languages, but
still there remains shared culture and identity,
whether they live in Germany, or in France,
Spain, Kosovo, USA, Bulgaria, Slovakia… etc.
We wish you a joyful festival!
Beshen Sascipnasa!
