Black and White in Colour (NR)

synopsis

In the international music world, Vera Bila is hailed as the most significant musical artist from the Czech republic: at home, she is recognized as an extraordinary personality with dozens of influential admirers. Vera Bila is not a "typical Gypsy" nor does she represent the usual experiences of the Czech Roma community. She is a distinctive individual with her own personal concerns. Nevertheless, the film BLACK AND WHITE IN COLOUR reveals how she retains a deep attachment to Romany traditions both in her music and her way of life.
