Academy Awards® Contenders Screening Series—The Tale of Silyan and Conversation with Tamara Kotevska and Jean Dakar

LACMA members are invited to join FILM at LACMA for a special screening of The Tale of Silyan, followed by a conversation with director and producer Tamara Kotevska, and producer and cinematographer Jean Dakar.

From the Oscar®-nominated director of Honeyland comes a poignant and visually arresting story set in the heart of rural Macedonia. Nikola, a farmer grappling with the harsh realities of new government policies, finds himself unable to sell his land or crops. When his family leaves in search of a better life abroad, Nikola takes a job as a landfill attendant, where he encounters the injured white stork Silyan. As he nurses the bird back to health, an unlikely bond forms between man and animal. The result is a deeply moving film that touches on climate change, economic migration, resilience and the quiet power of connection.
