Film Opening in NYC- JUNE 15!

Coming soon...

GYPSY CARAVAN (a.k.a.: When the Road Bends...tales of a Gypsy Caravan)

We are proud to present the U.S. theatrical release of GYPSY CARAVAN, a dazzling display of the musical world of the Roma, juxtaposed to the real world they live in. Released by Shadow Distribution www.shadowdistribution.com.

This rich feature documentary by Jasmine Dellal (AMERICAN GYPSY) and shot by Albert Maysles celebrates the luscious music of top international Gypsy performers and interweaves stirring looks at their home life and personal stories.

"It would be great if by experiencing the Romani people and their music, people can learn more about them and understand that - what you've believed about these people has been a lie your entire life." - Johnny Depp (interviewed in the film)

GYPSY CARAVAN is an uplifting and moving documentary which explores the real lives of the Roma as we travel to their homes in Macedonia, Romania, India and Spain, meet their families and see what music brings to their lives – a link to an ancient culture, a common language, a traditional career – all of which is a stark and often painful contrast to life on the road. The personal drama and stories of these characters are interwoven with their performances, reflecting the imagery and emotion of their music. We see love and death and tales of lives that are raw and rich. They make us laugh and cry and laugh again, allowing us to understand and expand on the riches of Romani music and history, and letting us enjoy knowing the people intimately.

GYPSY CARAVAN is currently screening at festivals in Seattle, London and Transilvania. It launched at Tribeca and garnered festival awards from San Francisco to Nashville and Vancouver, and from Koreato the Czech Republic.
