The Margaret Mead Film Festival, the longest-running premiere showcase for international documentaries in the United States, is held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The theme of this year's 41st edition of this festival is "Activate." The festival honors the legacy of Margaret Mead, whose groundbreaking approach to anthropology revealed how our histories, values, and points of view inevitably frame our encounters with other cultures and communities. As always, the Mead will feature intimate conversations with filmmakers and film subjects, as well as the presentation of the annual Margaret Mead Filmmaker Award.
Brothers, 2015, 68 min: Alfons is a painter and eternal dreamer. Mieczyslaw is a scientist with a deep pragmatic streak. Together, they form an inseparable odd couple of elderly brothers who have lived together in rural Poland for many decades. In the 1940s, they escaped a Stalinist labor camp together, and through many squabbles and triumphs they somehow have never escaped from each other. We accompany this pair of sympathetic old geezers as they go about their daily lives. Director and cameraman Wojciech Staron accompanied the two dissimilar brothers through thick and thin over the period of several years. Winner of Critics' Week in Locarno.
