Mexico on the Hudson
June 15-29, 2021

The CUNY Mexican Studies Institute and Cinema Tropical present the special online film and conversation series “Mexico on the Hudson,” taking place from June 15 to 29 and celebrating the Mexican community in New York City through the success of recent films including the Mexican Oscar candidate I’m No Longer Here by Fernando Frías, the Independent Spirit Award nominee I Carry You With Me by Heidi Ewing, and the Sundance winner Son of Monarchs by Alexis Gambis.

The series will feature free virtual screenings of three key films—La Ciudad (1998) by David Riker, En el Séptimo Día (2018) by Jim McKay, and I’m Leaving Now by Lindsey Cordero and Armando Croda (2019)—combined with panel conversations with filmmakers, scholars, and members of the local community to discuss the Mexican experience in New York City, the ways in which it has changed throughout the years, as well as its legacy and ongoing challenges.
