The new Transcultural Encounters and Border Crossings Film Series presents Unveiled (2005) by the German director Angelina Maccarone, an American filmmaker of a Peruvian background, on Saturday, March 14, at 3 p.m. at the Athena Cinema.
Admission is free.
In Unveiled, Fabria, prosecuted in Iran because of her love affair with another woman, flees to Germany. Her application for asylum is turned down, and she assumes a male identity. In order to pay for forged documents, she takes an illegal job in a sauerkraut factory, where she meets Anne. They become dangerously close, and Anne begins to suspect Fariba’s true identity.
Dr. Michael Gillespie and Dr. Katarzyna Marciniak provide film introductions.
The Film Series was made possible by a generous support from the College of Arts & Sciences and a committed work by Alexandra Kamody from the Athena and Lorraine Wochna, Ohio University librarian for the Humanities. Making and Breaking the Law and Wealth and Poverty curricular themes are sponsoring the series to help us publicize the screenings.
