Park City Film Series - Global Lens 2008
September 9 - 10, 2008
The Global Film Initiative promotes cross-cultural understanding through the medium of cinema. History repeatedly points to the importance of great storytelling in chronicling and influencing human affairs. Even today, a powerful, authentic narrative can foster trust and respect between disparate cultures and mitigate the social and psychological impact of cultural prejudice. In recent times, no medium has been as effective at communicating the range and diversity of the world’s cultures as the cinematic arts.
This is a complex drama that became a word-of-mouth hit of the specialized feature marketplace. A lonesome widower and college economics professor finds his quiet existence suddenly shaken up when he befriends a pair of illegal immigrants, in the second feature from The Station Agent director Tom McCarthy. When visiting Manhattan, the professor is surprised to discover that a young couple has moved into his seldom-used apartment in Greenwich Village. Walter reluctantly allows the couple to remain in his apartment. The young man insists on repaying his host's kindness by teaching him to play the African drum. The ageing academic finds his spirits revitalized but must deal with abrupt changes when his new friend is threatened with deportation.
