International Film Forum: DELICATE BALANCE
Delicate Balance (2016) by Guillermo García López
Presenter: Christopher Chiappari, Professor of Anthropology at St. Olaf College
Theme: Signs of Civilizatory Crisis
Delicate Balance, a full-length documentary, is universal. It is about issues that affect and change us all. Through three stories that span three continents and the weaving thread of messages brought to us by the Uruguayan President, José ‘Pepe’ Mujica, we see ourselves reflected in the lives of African Migrants, Spanish Workers, and Japanese Salarymen, and realize that, in the end, we strive for many of the same things. We love. We want. We struggle. We grow.
Round Table: facilitated by Carleton professors Noboru Tomonari, Associate Professor of Asian Languages and Literature; Cherif Keita, Professor of French and Francophone Studies; Claudia Lange, Visiting Instructor of Spanish; Mar Valdecanots, writer, artist, translator, community organizer and member of the Northfield Human Rights Commission
