VIFF Screenings Day 6

Relatives (Hungary) 2006

To Play And To Fight (Venezuela) 2006

Acts Of Imagination (Canada) 2006

The Railroad All-Stars (Spain) 2006


Relatives is a film by Istvan Szabo about how power corrupts. A new attorney general is voted into a small Hungarian town. Everyone becomes a "relative" and he is unable to do his new job of cleaning up the town. Overly slick.


To Play And To Fight is a documentary about the Venezuelan Youth Orchestra System. Very informative. Orchestras are in every town in Venezuela. Uplifting.


Acts of Imagination is about a brother and sister who have emigrated from Ukraine. Are our memories true?


The Railroad All-Stars is a documentary about Guatemalan prostitutes who form a soccer team to fight for their rights. Overly long.
