Kabbala in Kabul, video screening
Video screening of "Kabbala in Kabul", 87 min, Belgium , 2007 (loop). There are only two Jews left in Afghanistan, and they live in the same place: a former synagogue in Kabul. But rather than bonding together, they can't stand each other. The elderly Isaac lives on the ground floor and makes a living by selling amulets to his Muslim neighbors. Middle-aged Zebulon lives on the top floor and haggles with the same Afghans over his illegally produced wine. "I lived three years in Kabul, I learned the local language and I think I started to merge with the caracters of the movie" (Dan Alexe). Tuesday, January 26 at 18 Dan Alexe in conversation with Ruxandra Balaci, MNAC Auditorium.
