The final week of the 2015 Castleton International Film Festival begins on Tuesday, March 17 at 6:30pm with a screening of A SCREAMING MAN in Herrick Auditorium.

About the film: "The title figure in “A Screaming Man” never screams or shouts. He rarely raises his voice above the pleasantly conversational and sometimes hardly speaks at all, though his silences can be telling. One of Africa's preeminent film artists, Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, returns to the themes of family and loyalty in modern-day war-torn Chad. Adam, a former Chadian swimming champion entering his sixties, has parlayed his local celebrity into a leisurely position as pool man for a five-star hotel, with his son Abdel working as his assistant. But just outside of this idyllic life lurks constant signs of the ongoing civil war: daily radio reports of advancing guerrilla troops, the omnipresent sound of jet fighters overhead, and the increasing stream of refugees coming in and out of the city. “A Screaming Man” is a quiet, tender, finally wrenching story of an individual at the intersection of the personal and the political."
