In our April Café, we'll screen Tony Gatlif's musical love letter to Europe's Roma communities – LATCHO DROM. Made more than 25 years ago, it is a meticulously and beautifully crafted documentary examining the Romany culture and traditions across Europe with a stunning music score.
We’ll also host a post-film conversation with Roma artists and thinkers, exploring their work and what life is like today for Roma communities across Europe.
