Club Screening - The Peasants


15 August, 2024

From Oscar nominated directors D K Welchman and Hugh Welchman; The Peasants tells the story of Jagna, around woman determined to forge her own path within the confines of a late 19th century Polish village -  a hotbed of gossip and on-going feuds, held together, rich and poor, by pride in their land, adherence to colourful traditions and deep-rooted patriarchy.  When Jagna finds herself  caught between the conflicting desires of the village's richest farmer, his eldest son and other leading men of the community, her resistance puts her on a tragic collision course with the community around her.

The film is shot in live action but transferred to oil paint, which gives an unusual almost animated viewing experience.
