Hakawati

Hakawati · dir. Marcin Sauter
Poland 2011, 38’

Screenings

10/24, 20:00 · Od Nowa – large hall

In the Arabian tradition, Hakawati is a master storyteller, a genius raconteur, who will tell stories to everybody, if they want to listen. His function in the Arab culture was of paramount importance: he attracted masses, who very thirsty for new tales and strange stories. The true Hakawati are long gone. There is no time to listen to stories, in the modern world. The director sets on a journey to find the true storytellers and find the remnants of tradition — alas, they are much more intended for tourists with cameras, than for native residents.
