Event Details

A free monthly film screening for the community, our Afternoon Indie Film events feature top film selections from the Wild Rivers Film Festival and include Q&As or community discussions after many film screenings.

This month's film selection: Run Raven Run

Run Raven Run explores the ways that music has always been the winning hand for Roma survival, despite a historical legacy that dealt the dark cards of slavery, holocaust and poverty. From the deserts of Rajasthan to the ghettos of Bucharest, Run Raven Run explores the resounding pain and pleasure that emanates from the unvanquished soul of Roma music.

Produced and directed by Michael Rainen, Run Raven Run won the 2024 WRFF Award for Best Feature Documentary. A passion project two decades in the making, this film takes the viewer on a beautiful journey through the vibrant history of Roma music, using culture as a powerful narrative thread.
