Film Movement: Wind Journeys -- Sept. 7 PDF Print E-mail

windjourneys1International Film Movement: "Wind Journeys ", Tuesday, September 7, 4:00 pm. Free refreshments served.

Ignacio Carrillo travelled most of his life through the villages and regions of Northern Colombia playing traditional songs on his accordion, a legendary instrument that was said to be cursed because it once belonged to the devil. As he became older, he got married and settled with his wife in a small town, leaving his nomadic life behind. When she suddenly dies, he decides to make one last journey to the Northern edge of the country, to return the accordion to the man who gave it to him his teacher and mentor making the decision to never play it again. On the way, he is joined by Fermin, a teenager who dreams of becoming a travelling musician like Ignacio. Tired of his loneliness, Ignacio begrudgingly accepts his company, and together they start their journey, discovering on the way the enormous diversity of the Caribbean culture, and surviving all kinds of adventures.
