LUX PRIZE SCREENING: JUST THE WIND

Director: Bence Fliegauf

91 minutes, France/German/Hungary, 2012, Drama, English Subtitles


The Lux Prize is the annual European Parliament Film Prize aimed at raising awareness of films that have the European public debate as their central theme. The selected films all offer an opportunity for citizens to reflect on the main social and political issues facing the E.U. today. 

To mark Europe Week 2013, we are screening one of the three Lux Prize 2012 finalists. Set in Hungary, Just the Wind is the story of four members of a gypsy family who live on an isolated farm. The two children, Anna and Rio, and their mother Mari must defend themselves against the possibility of attack by a racist ‘hunter’ gang who have been attacking and murdering gypsy families they call ‘the crows’. A harrowing and affecting tale that is based on a true story, the film deservedly won a Silver Bear at Berlinale.
