Now in her thirties, she is trapped in an arranged marriage and feels stuck living in a shack in a Roma community in Bari, Italy. She suffers from depression, longs to leave her marriage and return to Romania, where living conditions are better. Shot over a twenty-year period, filmmaker Giovanni Princigalli offers an intimate portrait of one woman’s struggle for emancipation, providing insights into life in the deeply patriarchal and tradition-bound Roma community in Bari, Italy. Princigalli makes it clear from the opening sequence that the Roma community in Bari does not represent that of Roma in other parts of Europe today.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Princigalli was born in Bari, Italy and studied Political Sciences at the University of Bari. His first film <a href="https://store.der.org/roma-stories-p483.aspx">Japigia Gagi (Roma Stories)</a> profiles the Bari community as he found it in 2001 and 2002. Song of Aida draws on footage from this early project as well as from visits in 2014 and in the early 2020s, when he focused on Aida’s story. This longitudinal view allows viewers to embrace Aida’s struggle as she finds her voice and independence from her family. The film also shows poetic animations that are used to illustrate the imagination of the protagonists.</div><div><br /></div><div>“This film is the story of her [Aida’s] struggle for emancipation, independence and a new life outside the Roma camp.” — <i>Giovanni Princigalli</i>, Spring 2024</div><div><br /></div><div><b>SELECTED SCREENINGS &amp; AWARDS</b></div><div>21st edition of the Int'l Human Rights Film Festival (FICDH), Argentina, 2025<br /></div><div>Nordic Anthropological Film Association (NAFA) Int'l Ethnographic Film Festival, Norway, 2024<br /></div><div>Ethnocineca Int'l Documentary Film Festival, Vienna, 2024<br /></div><div>Festival de Cine Etnográfico de Ecuador, Ecuador, 2024<br /></div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/human-rights-c275all.aspx">Human Rights</a> to see additional products in this category.</div> https://store.der.org/padauk-myanmar-spring-p1067.aspx Product1067 Mon, 31 Jan 2022 17:50:59 GMT <div style="float:left"><a class="url" href="https://store.der.org/padauk-myanmar-spring-p1067.aspx"><img src="//cdn.nexternal.com/der/images/Padauk.jpg" alt="Padauk: Myanmar Spring" border="0" hspace="3"></a></div><span class="riRssTitle"><a href="https://store.der.org/padauk-myanmar-spring-p1067.aspx">Padauk: Myanmar Spring</a></span><br><a href="https://store.der.org/padauk-myanmar-spring-p1067.aspx">Buy Now:</a> <span color="#990000"><b>$320.00</b></span> <br /><br /><div><div><i>Padauk: Myanmar Spring</i> takes the viewer to the streets of Myanmar during the heady days following the February 2021 military coup.

In 1965-66, an estimated 500,000 to 1,000,000 people were secretly killed when General Suharto began a bloody purge of suspected communists throughout Indonesia. For decades, the Indonesian government repressed all memory of this event, and the world looked away.<div><br /></div><div>Based on the research of prominent anthropologist Robert Lemelson and edited by two-time Academy Award winner Pietro Scalia, this film follows the compelling testimonies of four individuals and their families from Central Java and Bali, as they break their silence for the first time. Told in understated detail, the cumulative effect of their stories is heartbreaking, profound and ultimately redemptive.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>SELECTED SCREENINGS &amp; AWARDS</b></div><div><i>Winner, Best Asian Documentary,</i> Endeavors Documentary Film Festival, Singapore, 2013</div><div><i>Nominee, Best Editing in a Documentary Film</i>, St. Tropez International Film Festival, Nice, France, 2013</div><div><i>Winner, Award of Excellence</i>, Canada International Film Awards, 2013</div><div><i>Winner, Best Foreign Feature</i>, Oregon Film Awards, 2012</div><div><i>Winner, Award of Excellence</i>, International Film Festival for Peace, Inspiration &amp; Equality, Indonesia, 2012</div><div><i>Nominee, Most Innovative Production</i>, History Makers Awards, 2011</div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/human-rights-c275all.aspx">Human Rights</a> to see additional products in this category.</div> https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-amazon-projects-series-p939.aspx Product939 Wed, 5 Sep 2018 11:07:00 GMT <div style="float:left"><a class="url" href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-amazon-projects-series-p939.aspx"><img src="//cdn.nexternal.com/der/images/amazonian-projects-series-vitv.jpg" alt="Video in the Villages: Amazon Projects series" border="0" hspace="3"></a></div><span class="riRssTitle"><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-amazon-projects-series-p939.aspx">Video in the Villages: Amazon Projects series</a></span><br><a href="https://store.der.org/video-in-the-villages-amazon-projects-series-p939.aspx">Buy Now:</a> <span color="#990000"><b>$400.00</b></span> <br /><br /><div>These videos give examples of environmental protection and sustainable development projects taking place in indigenous areas of the Amazon.
