Crumbs – Mar. 18 at 8 p.m.: This Ethiopian sci-fi film re-imagines the significance of our cultural detritus in the distant future. Decades after the apocalypse and after extraterrestrial life had been discovered, the few inhabitants left on a hostile Earth struggle to survive. For many years an alien spaceship has hovered in the skies, undisturbed and dormant, slowly rusting away. Tired of picking up the crumbs of gone-by civilizations, Gagano dreams his life away when not living in a state of perpetual fear. When the spaceship in the sky begins to turn on, our miniature sized hero will be forced to embark on a surreal epic journey that will lead him through the post apocalyptic Ethiopian landscape.
