Director Matilda Isler-Kazakova

Synopsis
The short documentary “Travelling Again” is an emotional, mysterious, cheerful, dramatic, folkloristic, pessimistic, but always objective and realistic journey to the unknown world of the Roma. After 30 years, I have come back to the same locations, the Bulgarian Roma ghettos, as in my 16 mm short documentary “Цигански poманс“ [Gypsy Romance] (1983). What has happened to my “performers” from that time on? Where are the children and the grandchildren? To get an answer on this, I have been travelling myself in Switzerland, in France, and in other European countries. Travel along with me!
