Liberating Cinema presents the UK-wide 120th anniversary of Serbian cinema and 95 Years since the birth of the director Aleksandar Petrović. We are teaming up with the St Andrews Film Festival to screen the landmark film I Even Met Happy Gypsies at this year's edition on the closing night of the Festival at St Andrews Town Hall. I Even Met Happy Gypsies follows the life of a charismatic feather gatherer - played by screen legend Bekim Fehmiu - and his community on the Pannonian plain in northern Serbia. Cannes Grand Prix and FIPRESCI Winner, Oscar and Golden Globe sensation, entered on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register, this film is a classic of the Yugoslav Black Wave and European cinema and a timeless tribute to the Roma people. The screening is introduced by Dr. Mina Radovic.
