The Strawberry Tree - Film Screening
Tuesday, March 3, 2020 | 1:00 - 2:30 pm | AQ 5067, Ellen Gee Room, Burnaby campus
Film screening and director's talk by Simone Rapisarda (Assistant Professor, School for the Contemporary Arts; Associate member, Department of Sociology & Anthropology). We will be viewing and discussing Rapisarda's film, THE STRAWBERRY TREE (Cuba/Canada) (2014).
Filmed in the remote hamlet of Juan Antonio, Cuba, only weeks before it was wiped out by a hurricane, El árbol de las fresas (The Strawberry Tree) challenges the boundaries between anthropology, documentary and reverie in capturing the final sigh of one of Cuba's last fishing villages. The villagers’ ingeniousness and resilience, as well as their playful and irreverent relationship with the filmmaker, render a sensitive portrait of a unique culture into a reflection on documentary filmmaking and on humanity on the edge of time.
