SORRY FOR KUNG FU

2005 Warsaw International Film Festival - Grand Prix and Cinemax Award for Best Screenplay
2005 Amiens International Film Festival, France - Best Actor - Filip Rados
2005 Dubrovnik International Film Festival - Best Screenplay
2005 Berlin International Film Festival
2004 Golden Arena, Pula Film Festival - Best Actress - Darija Lorenci,
Best Supporting Actress - Vera Zima


After waiting out the Balkan conflict in Germany, Mirjana returns unmarried and pregnant to her war-torn village in Croatia. Plans by her shocked parents to marry her off hurriedly are derailed when the birth brings an even more unwelcome surprise -- a bundle of joy with Asian features. Mirjana’s not talking, but everyone else is, in this satire on xenophobia with obvious parallels that, director Svilicic dryly notes, are rooted in 'far smaller ethnic differences.' A critically acclaimed selection of the Berlin, Vancouver, and Warsaw international film festivals.


directions:
subways
- F or V train to Lower East Side / Second Avenue. Exit toward 1st Avenue. Walk north (away from Houston) to 3rd street, then east just
past Avenue A to 155 East 3rd.
buses
- 9 or 21 bus to Houston Street and Avenue A. Walk north to 3rd Street. Turn east and go a few doors down to 155 East 3rd.
- 14A bus to 3rd street and Avenue A.
- The 8 and 15 buses also come relatively close, as do these trains: 6 (Bleecker Street station), B and D (Grand Street), JMZ (Delancey /
Essex), and L (1st Ave).


We look forward to seeing you there.
