Glasgow Film Festival Zana

Kosovo’s entry to Oscar’s Best International Feature, Zana dissects the expectations of motherhood and the aftermath of wartime brutality in Antoneta Kastrati’s deeply powerful debut. Driven by night-terrors and unable to conceive, Lume is not living up to her family’s expectations. She is forced to visit healers to treat her infertility against her will - that is until she miraculously falls pregnant. However, as her night terrors intensify, her family resort to extreme measures in protecting the unborn child from supposedly evil forces. A horrorinflected social drama that highlights the human toil of armed conflict, Zana is a revelatory piece of work.

Also screening on Sat 7 Mar, 2.15pm
