The next film in the series, The Great Match, will be shown on April 12. Directed by Gerardo Olivares, this Mongolian comedy tells three parallel stories about the trials and tribulations of a group of men who have two things in common: they live in remote regions of the planet and they are determined to watch the final match of the Japan-Korea 2002 World Cup between Germany and Brazil. This film addresses the intriguing topic of how traditional ways of life for isolated cultures co-exist with modern society.
Variety calls this “A visually breathtaking, gently comic homage to the indigenous communities that are its subject and to soccer’s power to penetrate lives”
Being an unrated film, the screening is not recommended for those under the age of 17. The movie is free and no registration is
necessary.
