This year, the\u00a0<\/span>BALKAN TRAFIK<\/a>\u00a0festival celebrates its 10th anniversary! The festival, which is devoted to cultures and minorities from South-east Europe and aims to bring these people together with local artists, has become an unmissable feature of the Brussels cultural calendar thanks to the quality of its programmes, its originality and its utterly incomparable atmosphere. It offers people the chance to think about what it means to share ideas and embrace multiculturalism, about migration and the historical memory of migrants and migrant societies. It is a time for fruitful cultural exchange in a festive, exuberant ambience which combines opportunities to\u00a0<\/span>meet the artists<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>film screenings<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>concerts<\/strong>.<\/span>

All of this provides a perfect backdrop for the film\u00a0Papusza<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(Poland, 2013, 126 min) directed by\u00a0Joanna KOS-KRAUZE<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Krzysztof KRAUZE<\/strong>. The film tells the true story of Papusza, whose Polish name was Bronis\u0142awa Wajs (1910?-1987), and who was the first Roma woman to write and publish poetry after the Second World War. Her work and her different take on the traditional image of women within the Roma community led to her being shunned by her own community. Her work was published immediately after the war, and then in the 1970\u2019s in literary revues, thanks to the efforts of Jerzy FICOWSKI who translated her poems into Polish. These were the texts upon which Jean-Yves POTEL based his French translations.\u00a0
<\/span>The film will be shown on\u00a016 April<\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a0BOZAR<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0the presence of the director<\/strong>,\u00a0Jowita BUDNIK<\/strong>, the actor who plays Papusza, and\u00a0Dragan RISTI\u0106<\/strong>, a Roma activist with Serbian origins, who is a producer and actor.\u00a0
