SCREENING OF 'VODKA LEMON' BY Hiner Saleem
At the beginning of June, VANSA Western Cape announced the launch of a series of art-film evenings at the >>SPIN STREET GALLERY>. Scheduled for the last Thursday of every month, these evening events provide members with the opportunity to attend screenings of selected art house films and, simultaneously, to engage with fellow artists and art professionals from their region. August's film is Vodka Lemon, on the 28th of July 2011, 18h30 at VANSA's Spin Space.
Vodka Lemon is a 2003 film directed by the Kurdish director Hiner Saleem.
The story is set in a Yazidi Kurdish village in Armenia, still suffering economically from the Soviet collapse. Hamo, a Kurdish widower with three sons, visits his wife's grave everyday. In the graveyard, he meets Nina, a widow who works in a local bar named Vodka Lemon which is about to close down. Both are penniless, yet start an unexpected relationship which revitalizes them.
The film screening is FREE for all to attend. Please join us on Thursday 28 July at 18h30.
