GENEVA, Switzerland – Don’t miss the Bill Douglas’ trilogy at the Gruetli Theater this week in Geneva.

Douglas, a Scottish film director may be best known for the trilogy of films about his early life which Wikipedia describes as harrowing:

“The Bill Douglas Trilogy recounts the harrowing experiences of a young boy, Jamie, growing up in crippling poverty: material and emotional impoverishment; harrowing privations at the hands of his paternal grandmother; incarceration in a children’s home; living in a hostel for down-and-outs.”

From 8 to 16 January: Bill Douglas | Les Cinémas du Grütli Genève.
