MY REMBETIKA BLUES :The F Project Cinema mini Winter Documentary Film Festival
Event description
My Rembetika Blues is a documentary film about the power of music and what makes us human. Rembetika music or the Greek blues is a music born of exile and the streets. Developing its roots from the mass migration of people in the early twentieth century, filmmaker Mary Zournazi traces the journey of her forebears from Smyrna in Turkey to Sydney Australia but discovers more than family history, she finds out how music connects people during times of struggle and crises. By weaving together different stories of music and migration, she documents experiences that are often left out of the chronicles of history
Come and meet filmmaker Mary Zournazi who will be at the screening for a Q nA
