(201) 447-7100 Admission is free, refreshments will be served and all are welcome The NJ Chapter and the World Film Society of Bergen County Community College will co-host a showing of the Czech film “Ine Svety – Other Worlds.” The focus of this documentary is on the eastern region of Slovakia, known as Saris. Saris lies on the border between Eastern and Western Europe, between the “rational individualism” of the West and the “expressive emotionality” of the East. This territory below the eastern Carpathian mountains developed into a colorful national and religious blend of peoples. The film follows the so-called globalizing process and its impact on the individual stories and lives of the inhabitants of Saris, portraying individuals who represent their own ethnic group – Slovak, Rusyn, Romany (gypsy) and Jew. The documentary examines the various ways in which their uniqueness, traditional customs and local knowledge are rapidly disappearing. Ine Svety won the Audience Award at the 2006 KarlovyVary Film Festival. For further information, send an E-mail to jchanda@bergen.edu or call him at (609) 882-4872.
