Malta. Dir. Chris Zarb, 2016, 138 mins. With Paul Flanagan, Irene Christ, Sean O’Neil, Marc Cabourdin. Four people, four explosive tales of life in contemporary Malta: a birthday party clown struggles to keep his pedophilic urges in check; a depressed actress contemplates an act of unthinkable violence; an American radio DJ finds himself at the center of a firestorm when he speaks out for immigrant rights; and a husband and father buckles under the weight of stress at home and work. As their lives cross paths, each hurtles towards a moment of reckoning. This all-too-rare example of Maltese cinema tackles a host of hot-button issues—from the refugee crisis to mental illness—with a mix of dark surrealism and unflinching candor. Followed by a discussion with director Chris Zarb in person and actor Sean O’Neil moderated by a Museum curator.
Also showing  Tuesday, May 16, 7:00 p.m. at Bohemian National Hall
