13 TZAMETI at SIFF
One movie I haven't heard much about so far at SIFF is 13 (TZAMETI). I saw the trailer online several weeks ago and was intrigued by what looked like a potentially disturbing movie. Last week I got the pleasure of sitting through a screening of 13 and I'm convinced everyone should see the movie at least once. The online trailer simply doesn't quite sell the story that unfolds onscreen. Director Gela Babluani's story follows a Georgian-born French roofer who intercepts a letter from his delinquent employer after overhearing a conversation about large sums of money attached to the contents. As the story unfolds, the roofer realizes he's getting far more than he bargained for. For a directorial debut, Babluani elected a strong story that should garner some worldwide recognition.
The movie shows at 9:30pm on both Friday, June 2 and Sunday, June 4 during the festival, with US theatrical distribution to be announced soon. Tickets are available.
