For its 36th edition, FIDMarseille remains true to its mission: to spotlight independent cinema that is attentive to the echoes of the contemporary world and to the stories that reveal its fractures, both intimate and collective.

Aferim!, Aferim!

Radu Jude

Romania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, 2015, Black and white, 108’

In sumptuous black-and-white, this farcical and picaresque western tackles one of the most shameful episodes in the country’s history: the enslavement of the Roma in the Romanian countryside in the 19th century.
