Bella Ciao!

Directed by Carolyn Combs
Canada, 2018 (fiction, 88 minutes, colour, English)

Film Description:
"Carolyn Combs' ensemble drama is a film about home and displacement, isolation and solidarity. Set during the arc of one day, the film stars Carmen Aguirre as Constanza, a refugee who fled the coup against Salvador Allende in Chile, and now calls East Vancouver home. Bella Ciao! weaves the stories of her friends and neighbours—activists, artists, hustlers and coffee house consiglieri—to capture how traditions of solidarity renew across cultures and generations. Viva East Van!"
