CineRoma 2.0: Carmen, No Fear of Freedom + Romano Lav Youth short film

Join us for the opening event of CineRoma 2.0, the UK’s first Roma Film Festival, now in its second year. Brought to you by Offline (formerly Glasgow Artists’ Moving Image Studios | GAMIS) and Romano Lav, a community-based organisation working with Roma communities in Govanhill, Glasgow. CineRoma aims to present diverse films by and with Roma people, exploring self-perception, identity, history and systems of power.

The festival programme has been co-curated in collaboration with a cohort of Roma Young People from Govanhill through a series of workshops organised by Offline and Romano Lav.

A short film made by the Romano Lav Youth Filmmaking Group will open the festival with an introduction from filmmaker Meray Diner and Q&A with the young filmmakers.
