The Caribbean Film Series brings you its summer edition with a screening of the magical realism centered drama

Buladó

Headstrong Kenza lives with her father Ouira and grandfather Weljo on a car wrecking yard in the countryside of Curaçao. The two men are opposites that don’t particularly attract: Ouira is a determined and rational police officer, while Weljo identifies with the original inhabitants and spirituality of the island.

As Weljo wishes to prepare his passing to the world of spirits, the relationship between Ouira and Weljo starts to escalate and the eleven-year-old Kenza searches for her own path in-between the two extremes. The down-to-earth and avoidant mentality of Ouira no longer offers her all that she needs and slowly she opens up to the more mystical and comforting traditions of her grandfather.

The Caribbean Film Series is an ongoing program of Third Horizon, The Luminal Theater, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. 

To attend screenings at BAM, masks must be worn at all times. We will continue to update their policies in adherence with the most up-to-date health and safety guidelines and protocols.
