In Spanish with English subtitles) *Presented by filmmaker Urzula Barba Hopfner with a post-film Q&A Buy Tickets Set in Guadalajara during the early aughts, the auspicious and quirky debut by Úrzula Barba Hopfner tells the story of Corina, a young woman who has rarely left home in 20 years, except for her job at a local publishing house. To save her job after making a grave mistake in the company’s most famous book saga, she must confront her fears and embark on a journey to track down a mysterious writer. Starring Naian González Norvind (New Order) and Cristo Fernández (Ted Lasso), Corina won the Audience Award at the SXSW Film Festival and is an uplifting, endearing fable reminiscent of Amélie about embracing the unknown.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Set in the sweltering summer of 2001 amid Argentina’s looming economic collapse, The Virgin of the Quarry Lake is a visceral, supernatural, coming‑of‑age horror that melds teenage desire with dark folklore. Best friends Natalia, Mariela, and Josefina are bound by youth and an all‑consuming crush on their longtime friend Diego—until an older, more worldly woman captures his attention. Heartbroken and desperate, Natalia turns to whispered spells and ancestral incantations in a bid to reclaim love, but what begins as jealousy soon morphs into something far more sinister. As the oppressive heat and social unrest build, so does Natalia’s transformation, leading her into uncharted territory of self‑empowerment, rage, and terrifying consequence. Gorgeously atmospheric and unsettlingly precise, Laura Casabé’s film conjures the volcanic emotional landscape of adolescence with supernatural dread.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets The latest film from visionary director Gabriel Mascaro (Neon Bull) is a striking dystopian drama set in near‑future Brazil, where the government relocates seniors to isolated colonies under the guise of economic “well‑being.” Seventy‑seven‑year‑old Tereza refuses to accept forced retirement and instead embarks on a clandestine journey through the Amazon, encountering unexpected companions who help her reclaim freedom and possibility. Anchored by a powerful lead performance from Denise Weinberg and co-starring Rodrigo Santoro, the film celebrates resilience, intergenerational connection, and the courage to defy ageist and authoritarian constraints.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Fernando Valencia is an Indigenous voice artist, activist, painter, and devoted single father from Cusco, who began a project to reimagine iconic animated scenes in Quechua, also known as Runa Simi, the ancestral language of the Incas. When millions of viewers respond with enthusiasm and pride, Fernando sets out on a quixotic quest: dubbing Disney’s The Lion King with the help of his energetic eight-year-old son. Armed with relentless determination, he confronts rejection, setbacks, and self-doubt, transforming a personal passion into a powerful call for language justice. The debut feature by Augusto Zegarra—winner of the Albert Maysles Award for Best New Documentary Director at the Tribeca Film Festival—celebrates Indigenous resilience, cultural pride, and the vital importance of representation.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Óscar (first-time actor Ubeimar Rios) is an erratic failed writer who has given up on life. He wanders the streets of Medellín in a drunken stupor, lamenting the state of literature in Colombia and embodying the cliché of the tortured artist. When the opportunity arises to mentor a young student, he sees a chance at redemption—if he doesn’t screw it up first. Simón Mesa Soto’s darkly comic and caustic second feature, winner of the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, is a raw, riotous farce where good deeds collide with the universe’s cruelly poetic sense of humor. Saturday, April 25, 7.15pm — Brown Auditorium Theater https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/023ae548-9480-4850-b6db-cc93b25973b6/01%2BPreferred%2B-%2BStill%2BUCS_13-%2Bcrop.webp Events - Latin Wave 19: New Latin American Cinema at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston - Make it stand out A LOOSE END / UN CABO SUELTO (Daniel Hendler, Uruguay/Argentina/Spain, 2025, 95 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Santiago, an Argentine cop on the run, crosses into Uruguay to escape his own colleagues. There, he navigates a series of unpredictable obstacles, relying on quick wit and the unexpected kindness of strangers. As he begins to rebuild a life he never imagined, he discovers a fragile sense of belonging and meets a woman who might be the love of his life. What starts as a desperate flight evolves into an offbeat journey of reinvention, chance, and quiet resilience. The latest film by acclaimed actor-director Daniel Hendler blends existential comedy with the spirit of a road movie and the tension of a thriller, offering a richly textured portrait of the Uruguayan countryside and the unpredictable paths that life can take.

In Spanish with English subtitles) *Presented by Guillermo Goldschmidt, project manager, PROA with post-film Q&A Buy Tickets One of the most ambitious engineering projects ever undertaken in Latin America becomes the subject of Camisea, a film that contemplates how infrastructure changes reshaped Peru by extending natural gas across its coastal region. The narrative observes the passage of time, the physical effort involved, and the human presence embedded within a transformation of such immense scale. Filmed deep in the jungle and high in the Andes, Camisea was shot in territories where Werner Herzog filmed Fitzcarraldo just over 20 years earlier, invoking a shared cinematic lineage marked by obsession, endurance, and landscapes that assert their own logic. Directed by Enrique Bellande (BAFICI Award winner, 2003), the picture was shot on Super 16mm and recently restored in 4K. Camisea offers an immersive cinematic experience in which monumental ambition contends with intimacy and restraint.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Set in a dusty Chilean mining town in 1982, The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo follows young Lidia as she grows up within a vibrant household led by drag performers and trans women. When a mysterious illness sows fear and hysteria, the community becomes the target of suspicion and violence. In his debut feature, Diego Céspedes crafts a haunting allegory of love, myth, and prejudice, reimagining the early AIDS era as a western infused with poetic intimacy and desert-dry surrealism. Winner of the Un Certain Regard Award at the Cannes Film Festival, this potent period drama honors Chile’s proud legacy of queer cinema while confronting bigotry with both vengeance and compassion.

In Portuguese, German and English with English subtitles) Buy Tickets The most celebrated Latin American film of the year—nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture—The Secret Agent is a genre-defying political thriller from acclaimed filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho (Bacurau). Set in Recife during Brazil’s military dictatorship in 1977, this electrifying neo-noir stars Wagner Moura in a career-defining performance as a widowed technology researcher who becomes an unwitting target at the heart of a political maelstrom. On the run from mercenary killers and haunted by the past, he must navigate a tense, unpredictable world of danger and deception to escape the country with his young son. With the help of a mysterious woman and her underground resistance allies, he confronts the city’s volatile spirit in a story that blends suspense, political intrigue, and a cinematic homage to Filho’s youth.

ASCO: Without Permission, winner of the Cinema Tropical Award for Best U.S. Latinx Film, captures their boundary-breaking spirit with an inventive approach, weaving nonfiction and fiction together with a new generation of artists. The result is more than a profile—it’s a reimagining of what’s possible in art and cinema, celebrating iconoclasts who were decades ahead of their time.

The film centers on a young Muslim couple ripped from their African homeland and sold into slavery in Brazil on the eve of their wedding. Separated by cruel fate, they struggle not only to survive the daily horrors of the sugar plantations and urban servitude but also to find a path back to each other. Their personal fight for survival becomes swept up in the Malê Revolt, the largest and most influential organized uprising of enslaved people in Brazilian history, led by Muslim Africans. This powerful historical drama vividly brings to life the resilience, intellect, and unity of the enslaved and free Black communities who dared to challenge the entire institution of slavery, cementing Malês as a monumental contribution to the cinematic history of the African Diaspora.

In Spanish and Haitian Creole with English subtitles) WINNER: BEST FILM DIRECTED BY A WOMAN OF COLOR Sugar Island immerses us in the Dominican Republic’s sugarcane fields, where Makenya, a Dominican-Haitian teenager, navigates an unwanted pregnancy and the harsh labor that defines her world. Director Johanné Gómez Terrero masterfully blends social realism, spirituality, and Afro-futurism to expose the enduring legacy of colonial exploitation. As Makenya confronts family burdens and the specter of displacement, the arrival of a mysterious theater troupe illuminates haunting connections between past and present struggles. As Makenya fights for her future and her grandfather battles for justice, Sugar Island unfolds as a lyrical, visually rich meditation on identity, survival, and the enduring power of cultural memory.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho, who has gifted us such breathtakers as Aquarius and Bacurau, returns with a thrillingly unpredictable, empowering political fable about people swept up in forces beyond their control. A dynamic, shape-shifting epic set in Mendonça’s hometown of Recife during the late 1970s, The Secret Agent earned him the Best Director award at Cannes. Wagner Moura was also deservedly honored as Best Actor at the festival for his magnetic performance as a widowed former university researcher whose life has been violently upended by the greed and vengeance of a government bureaucrat. On the run and living under an alias during the country’s military dictatorship, he tries to escape while also reconnecting with the young son he had to leave behind. Even this brief description cannot fully prepare the viewer for the zigzagging subplots and delights of Mendonça’s eccentric and affectionate ode to the movies and the Brazil of his youth—and to maintaining individuality amid abuses of power.

USA/UK, 1967, 92 min. 4K Restoration. In English) Left for dead after a heist gone wrong, Lee Marvin’s aptly named Walker crosses Los Angeles with an eerie resolve to find the money and men who betrayed him: a faceless corporate syndicate known only as “the Organization.” Boorman takes this ostensibly straightforward revenge plot and turns it into a kind of modernist ghost story through abrupt flashbacks, unexplained shifts in mise-en-scène, long stretches that unfold under ambient noise or near-silence, and widescreen anamorphic compositions that estrange the city around Walker. The cumulative effect places us in the liminal headspace of a man who may already be dead, transforming the Organization into an embodiment of diffuse, indestructible institutional power that erases Walker’s personhood even as he guns down its underlings one by one.

So begins a long night’s journey into dread as the two bicker, booze, and crawl the walls with fear. Completed in the uneasy aftermath of the Prague Spring and immediately banned for its unvarnished depiction of state surveillance, The Ear compresses an entire police state into one sleepless night, revealing how authoritarian power hides in plain sight and corrodes the fragile boundary between safety and terror.

In Italian with English subtitles) Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Elio Petri’s masterpiece remains one of cinema’s most caustic dissections of institutional power. A newly promoted police inspector murders his mistress and then brazenly scatters evidence, daring his own department to accuse him. Born of the political unrest of 1968 and the hardening reflexes of Italy’s security state, the film pushes the crime thriller toward grotesque satire to expose the psychological and structural logic of unchecked authority. Gian Maria Volonté’s unnervingly elastic performance plays the inspector as both swaggering strongman and unraveling paranoiac, yielding a feverish blend of satire and procedural in which the law exists only to protect itself.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Shot along the freshly carved Trans-Amazonian Highway during the early years of Brazil’s dictatorship, Iracema captures a country violently remaking itself through state-backed “development” and the accelerating destruction of the Amazon. An Indigenous teenager drifts into Belém do Pará and falls in with a swaggering trucker who parrots the regime’s optimism while hauling contraband hardwood through a forest disappearing in real time. Their uneasy bond becomes a road movie through a ravaged landscape, where progress reveals itself as displacement. Banned by the military government, the film remains one of the clearest cinematic indictments of extractive ideology ever made.

As alliances fracture and loyalties dissolve, the boundary between outlaw bravado and state-sanctioned violence collapses. Adapted from José Louzeiro’s investigative reportage, the film’s near-documentary immediacy made it a popular sensation—and a daring portrait of a society where criminal enterprise and official power operate in quiet tandem.

New 4K Master.

After a fisherman botches an attempted capture and kills a pregnant whale, her mate follows him back to a Newfoundland village, unleashing calculated destruction. Shot along the rugged coast and underscored by Ennio Morricone’s mournful score, the film evolves into a pulpy but surprisingly serious meditation on grief and retribution.

Twenty years later, Coutinho resumed the project, weaving the original footage together with new interviews and reflections. The result is a genre-defying essay on political commitment, memory, and the lived consequences of dictatorship—one of Brazilian cinema’s most profound acts of reckoning.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) From the award-winning Brazilian filmmaker Antônio Pitanga—one of the key actors of Brazil's influential Cinema Novo movement (1960s and 70s), Malês is a dramatic journey of courage, faith, and resistance set in 1835 Salvador, Bahia. The film centers on a young Muslim couple ripped from their African homeland and sold into slavery in Brazil on the eve of their wedding. Separated by cruel fate, they struggle not only to survive the daily horrors of the sugar plantations and urban servitude but also to find a path back to each other. Their personal fight for survival becomes swept up in the Malê Revolt, the largest and most influential organized uprising of enslaved people in Brazilian history, led by Muslim Africans. This powerful historical drama vividly brings to life the resilience, intellect, and unity of the enslaved and free Black communities who dared to challenge the entire institution of slavery, cementing Malês as a monumental contribution to the cinematic history of the African Diaspora.

Reception courtesy of the Mexican Cultural Institute Quite Like Paradise is a dark satirical comedy about the art of deception. The story follows Ugo Conti, a charming young man who pretends to be a striking European aristocrat to lead a life of luxury. Arriving in Mexico City, Ugo quickly captivates the country’s high society. Reuniting with his former love, Frida Becker, he becomes entangled in a dangerous political power struggle. But when he falls from grace, the same society that once adored him turns against him with equal fervor. Shot in breathtaking locations across Italy and Mexico, and based on Luis Spota’s novel of the same name, this poignant debut feature by writer-producer Edgar San Juan offers a sharp critique of politics, class aspirations, and the influence of social media, bolstered by strong performances.

In Spanish and Mixtec with English subtitles) Mexican filmmaker Ángeles Cruz returns to her Indigenous community in Oaxaca for her second feature, a tender tale of loss inspired by her own childhood. Valentina’s world shatters when her beloved father drowns in a nearby river. Refusing to accept the body at the funeral, she becomes convinced he’s still alive and will return. Her conviction deepens after she falls into the same river and hears his voice speaking Mixtec—a language she’s never learned. As she waits for another message, Valentina enlists her friend Pedro to teach her Mixtec, even as her belief begins to affect her family and school life. Valentina or the Serenity is an exploration of love and mortality through a child’s eyes, and ultimately an uplifting ode to life.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Q&A with director Gala del Sol Set in a retro-futuristic, queer tropical-punk riff on Dante’s Inferno, Rains Over Babel follows a band of misfits converging at Babel, a dive bar that doubles as purgatory. Presided over by La Flaca—the city’s Grim Reaper—souls gamble years of their lives in hopes of outwitting Death Herself. Among them are Dante, racing to uncover his past; Monet, a ghost desperate to reclaim his body; Timbí and Uma, descending through hell to save their loved ones; and Jacob, preparing for his first drag performance. Acclaimed at the Sundance Film Festival, this love letter to Cali, reimagined as the mythical City of Maya, fuses magical and gritty realism into a vibrant, psychedelic universe of love, identity, gender fluidity, resilience, and second chances.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Among the strangest and most perturbing films of his overlooked Mexican period, Él is Luis Buñuel’s incisive portrait of paranoia, jealousy, and sexual obsession—a nightmarish tale of love gone wrong that prefigures the major themes of his 1960s and ’70s work. Incorporating his personal demons into an adaptation of Mercedes Pinto’s autobiographical novel, Buñuel tells the story of Francisco Galván de Montemayor (Arturo de Córdova), a devout middle-aged bachelor who falls into amour fou with Gloria (Delia Garcés). After breaking her engagement with another man, Gloria realizes something is terribly off about Francisco, whose sophisticated facade masks deep insecurities and an explosive, violent temper. Descending into madness, Francisco drives Gloria to fear for her life—with no refuge offered by either her family or the church. One of Buñuel’s rawest, angriest indictments of religious and social hypocrisy, Él stands as the surrealist master’s great excursion into dark melodrama, where civilization can find no answer to the raging urges of the irrational id.

In Spanish and English with English and Spanish subtitles) Q&A with producer Alejandro Flores Following the death of her brother, director Robie Flores returns to her hometown of Eagle Pass, on the Texas-Mexico border, yearning to turn back time. Immersed in the unruly experiences of adolescence—quinceañeras, Selena, Río Grande river excursions, teen makeovers, and more—she rediscovers the home her brother adored and she once overlooked. What emerges is a playful dance between personal and collective coming-of-age, as she reclaims joy in the aftermath of grief. Through her family’s journey, Flores unveils a nuanced and unexpected portrait of the borderlands—one that transcends headlines to offer a deeply human perspective. In celebrating the resilience and spirit of this bi-cultural, bi-national community, the film reveals a place not defined by crisis, but by the vibrancy of those who call it home.

With an unprecedented access to the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team and its archives, the fifth feature film by director Bernardo Ruiz offers a welcome twist to the traditional true crime film by focusing on systemic political and human rights abuses rather than on one-off tales of murder or lone serial killers, and deftly creates a direct link between state atrocities from the past and present.

Buy Tickets Bernardo Ruiz’s acclaimed debut feature Reportero follows veteran reporter Sergio Haro and his colleagues at Semanario Zeta, a Tijuana-based muckraking weekly, as they persist in their work in one of the deadliest places in the world for journalists. Since the paper’s founding in 1980, two editors have been murdered and the founder viciously attacked. Former editor Francisco Ortiz was gunned down just after buckling his two children into the back seat of his car, killed for printing the names and faces of drug traffickers who had long operated with impunity. Gripping and timely, Reportero confronts the violence, corruption, and power struggles along the border. As the drug war intensifies and the threats to journalists grow, the film asks a pressing question: will the free press be silenced?

Founded in 2004, the event honors Rarámuri traditions and supports the community, including essential corn vouchers. With stunning cinematography and intimate access to the runners, the film explores tensions beneath the race: cultural appropriation, economic pressures, and the threat of drug cartels. When violence threatens the next race, the complexities of the organizers and the global spotlight come into focus.

Set against one of the most dramatic grape harvests in recent memory, the film immerses viewers in the rhythms and challenges of the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, where wildfires, a growing labor shortage, shifting immigration policies, and climate change threaten livelihoods.

Supported by her parents and community yet confronting the prejudices of her rural Mexican town, Karla tells her own story alongside trans filmmaker Kani Lapuerta, who has documented her since childhood. Together, they craft a vivid portrait of what it means to grow up proudly trans in a world mediated by the ever-present lens of a front-facing camera. NIÑXS is a nuanced and intergenerational coming-of-age story that reimagines small-town life—and a whimsical reminder that no one escapes the painful, awkward, and beautiful parts of adolescence.

La película narra un seductor juego entre jóvenes actores y amantes, combinando melodrama y comedia sentimental junto a reflexiones filosóficas y emociones del corazón. Con su característico estilo, Piñeiro emplea movimientos de cámara fluidos y un lenguaje lleno de matices, creando una narrativa elíptica que juega constantemente con la delgada línea entre realidad y ficción.

Siempre entusiasta, Alberto intenta que nada arruine sus planes, pero las piscinas cerradas y las miradas reprobatorias de sus hijos tensan el ambiente. La lluvia no cesa, los ánimos se vuelven más susceptibles y el clima más pegajoso. Y la casa que alquilaron parece hacerse cada vez más pequeña.

Juan de Dios Martínez, un investigador que se mueve entre el periodismo y la pesquisa policial, examina crímenes contra mujeres y trabajadores en medio de un clima de impunidad.

Lapü sigue este rito de “segundo entierro” mediante una puesta en escena hipnótica y sensorial. Los cineastas Polanco y Jaimes conjugan imagen y sonido para dar forma a una visión donde lo espiritual y lo terrenal conviven, desafiando las nociones occidentales de muerte, tiempo y narración documental.

En constante oposición al gobierno autoritario y militarizado de Jair Bolsonaro, las mujeres de Chitara reclaman las calles como un acto de resistencia política radical en nombre de las ex convictas y los oprimidos. Mezclando documental, ficción y elementos de género, Joana Pimenta y Adirley Queirós retratan una distopía tan inquietante como posible.

La familia queda fascinada con Paco, el novio de Luisa, quien también es actor y es famoso por su papel en la conocida serie Narcos. Para enfrentar las tensiones familiares, Gabino imagina una realidad paralela llena de detectives y crimen organizado. Este largometraje del destacado cineasta mexicano Nicolás Pereda, protagonizado por sus actores habituales Luisa Pardo y Lázaro Gabino Rodríguez —quienes interpretan varios roles— es un astuto y cómico ejercicio de metaficción que muestra cómo la violencia se ha infiltrado en la imaginación popular mexicana.

Dos hombres, su pareja y un chofer, intentan dar con su paradero, pero cuanto más indagan, más se alejan de las certezas.

A medida que la soledad y el escepticismo se apoderan de su presente, Eva se cuestiona su vínculo con el cine y el sentido de su oficio. Con una narrativa sutil y contemplativa, la película explora los límites entre la ficción y el documental, y la persistencia de las imágenes como huellas del pasado.

Centered around Port-au-Prince’s Festival Quatre Chemins, their stories blur the line between fiction and reality, transforming stages, streets, and sacred spaces into sites of resilience.

In Spanish with English subtitles) On the shores of Lake Poopó in Bolivia, an ancient culture remains resilient in the face of climate change. In early September 2023 I set out on a journey to film a documentary for the ARTE network. During my visit I witnessed the gradual drying up of the Desaguadero river, which serves as the main tributary to Bolivia's second largest lake. This drying trend has occurred in recent years due to mining, agriculture and urban expansion along its course towards a lake that now exists only in memory. In a small community on the banks of what was once their source of life, 14 families of the Uru ethnic group remain, embodying the consequences of a world that demands more and more resources to sustain an ever-expanding way of life. It is difficult to imagine a world without mining and technology, but a world without water is simply impossible.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Decades-long conflict has claimed the lives of many in Colombia. This visually transcendent cinematic reverie explores a mother and son’s remorse as they reckon with their own transgressions during this period. A man visits his home village looking for his mom, Inés (Beloved Tropic’s Paulina García), but she doesn’t answer the door when he arrives and finds the family farm in disrepair. Over time, it’s revealed he was conscripted as a teenager into the government’s war against the guerrillas and, like Colombia itself, he needs a Truth and Reconciliation moment with his parent and community. Though Horizon is certainly a film about war and its attendant horrors, its sensibility is poetic and symbolic, more Tarkovsky than Tarantino. What César Augusto Acevedo achieves here is a profoundly moving film questioning whether one can forgive the unforgivable and, if so, what might be the mechanisms of that forgiveness.

In English and Spanish with English subtitles) * Director Joel Vargas and Producer Paolo Maria Pedullà are expected to attend for a post-screening Q&A Buy Tickets Ricardo is an underemployed 19-year-old Dominican American who spends his days squabbling with his sister, being hollered at by his single mom, and (illegally) selling homemade alcoholic beverages called “nutties” on the beaches of the Bronx. A perpetual adolescent, he’s argumentative, defensive, and emotionally immature. When it’s revealed that he has gotten his underage girlfriend Destiny pregnant, he swears he’ll get his act together and be a good father if she moves in with them. However, as the film conveys through wry comedy and poignant insights, Ricardo’s path to manhood is a challenging one, fraught with moments of self-sabotage, emotional abuse of his family and Destiny, and belligerent behavior with bosses. With the characters shifting rapidly between English and Spanish, director Joel Alfonso Vargas has crafted a debut of great verisimilitude and empathy. The arguments between the characters feel unmistakably real, but so do the love and affection between them.

Meanwhile a preacher’s son agonizes over his upcoming drag debut, an ex-soldier hopes the night will see the end of long servitude, and a young woman puts her own life on the line to save her ailing daughter. All find themselves journeying through a kind of hell on earth in this dark comic fantasy inspired by Dante’s Inferno.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Filmmaker Anna Muylaert is known for her empathetic portraits of Brazilian women working hard to provide for their families and improve their own personal circumstances. In her latest film, trash collector Gal (Shirley Cruz) flees an abusive relationship and takes to the streets with her two kids and the pushcart that is her livelihood. Pretending they are on a grand adventure in the streets of São Paulo rather than confront her children with the reality of being homeless, Gal attempts to bring a spirit of playfulness to a dire situation. Muylaert brings her characteristic compassion to the fore, heightened by Cruz’s textured performance that blends the levity of the family splashing around in a public fountain with the pathos of a middle-aged woman facing a difficult path ahead. Actor-musician Seu Jorge is similarly memorable as the brutish Leandro.

In Spanish and German with English subtitles) Buy Tickets When the negative of a film she starred in disappears, an actor embarks on a quest to recover it, in the process butting up against Chilean history and the legacy of fascist thinker Miguel Serrano. Antonia Giesen plays a version of herself as an actor and psychologist who initially stole the missing film’s idea from her patient Metalhead’s dreams. That dream state infects her search as she transforms into a cop contending with ailing parents, Metalhead’s declining state, Chile’s fascist history, and amazing things that live beneath Antarctica’s ice. Filmmakers Joaquín Cociña and Cristóbal León appear as twisted version of themselves in this fantastically surreal and virtuoso blend of live action, animation, puppetry, and practical effects.

At a college entrance exam in Guadalajara, Eduardo (Alejandro Quintana) meets city kid Mario (Carlos E. López Cervantes) and falls fast for the more sophisticated youth. Through the afternoon and a wild partying evening, Eduardo’s initial shyness gives way to wild abandon as he explores his sexuality.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets A poetic and visually mesmerizing exploration of love, memory, and the fluidity of perception, Tomás Pichardo Espaillant’s experimental debut weaves together stop-motion animation, graphic sketching, and Claymation to deconstruct intimacy and the way we remember it. The film follows two couples who recount their relationships, their stories revealing how their experiences and memories differ in unexpected ways. As perspectives shift, this animated feature from the Dominican Republic questions how we construct narratives and how love, longing, desire, and personal truth shape our recollections. Beyond its compelling themes, the film is a sensory experience, blending live-action landscapes with striking 2D animation, surreal imagery, and an evocative soundscape. With collapsed timelines and abstract representations of yearning and loss, Olivia & the Clouds offers a dreamlike, immersive journey into the fragile nature of human connection.

In English and Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets A hapless American reporting team descends on a small Argentinean town hoping to film a bunny ears-wearing musician who’s gone viral in this pointed satire about our woeful current media landscape. Working for a VICE-like outfit, the quintet arrives in remote San Cristobal with their “ugly American” attitudes at full volume—only to realize they’ve arrived at the wrong San Cristobal. With sly humor and a cast of quirky characters, writer/director Amalia Ulman (who also plays the crew’s cameraperson and interpreter) vitally points out that the relentless quest for “eyeballs” means that reporters frequently miss the real story. The terrific cast includes Chloë Sevigny, Alex Wolff, Joe Apollonio, and Simon Rex.

In Spanish with English subtitles) * Producer Carlos Hernández Vázquez is expected to attend for a post-screening Q&A. Buy Tickets Telling the story of five siblings fending for themselves in the wake of parental abandonment, this tender, well-crafted film won Berlinale’s inaugural Perspectives Award for fiction debut. It’s 1990 and Mexico eagerly awaits the second visit of Pope John Paul II while the Palacios López family wrangles with a different visitation, real or imagined. When the quintet’s mom disappears and five pairs of shoes appear out of nowhere, imaginative youngster Victor claims, “The Devil brought them.” Their unstable grandmother Romana, left behind as caretaker when the kids’ father goes to find his wife, encourages the thought that something malevolent is at work. In a tale replete with generational mental health issues, superstition, and religious belief, director Ernesto Martínez Bucio employs an impressively diverse style with home movie footage that fills in important backstory information and tight close-ups that reflect the increasingly claustrophobic tension in the household. Stellar performances from a very young cast of non-professionals further buoys the narrative.

In Spanish and English with English and Spanish subtitles) Q&A with director Following the death of her brother, director Robie Flores returns to her hometown of Eagle Pass, on the Texas-Mexico border, yearning to turn back time. Immersed in the unruly experiences of adolescence—quinceañeras, Selena, Rio Grande river excursions, teen makeovers, and more—she rediscovers the home her brother adored and she once overlooked. What emerges is a playful dance between personal and collective coming-of-age, as she reclaims joy in the aftermath of grief. Through her family’s journey, Flores unveils a nuanced and unexpected portrait of the borderlands—one that transcends headlines to offer a deeply human perspective. In celebrating the resilience and spirit of this bi-cultural, bi-national community, the film reveals a place not defined by crisis, but by the vibrancy of those who call it home.

This reckoning forces her to confront the brutal reality of a global crisis: one in six people worldwide are squatters. Through the voices of occupation leaders, city officials, building residents, and architecture scholars, the film turns the history of this landmark into a broader allegory of Brazil’s political and economic turmoil over the past half-century.

In English and Spanish with English subtitles) Siblings Violeta and Eva live in California with their mother, but every summer they travel to Las Cruces, New Mexico, to spend time with their loving but unpredictable father, Vicente (René “Residente” Pérez Joglar in his cinematic debut). Over the course of four formative summers that span adolescence to early adulthood, Violeta and Eva learn to appreciate their father as a person, his flaws and limitations inseparable from his passion and tenderness. Lovers come and go, the backyard goes to seed, but the idea of home remains knotty and elusive. This powerful and deeply personal directorial debut from Alessandra Lacorazza offers a nuanced study of young people questioning their place within their families, their communities, and their identities. Winner of the US Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, In the Summers proves both an emotional capsule of growing up within a fragmented family and a love letter to the resilience needed to survive.

Anchored by themes of memory, hope and transcendence, Reas is a collaborative work of reclamation, charting the persevering power of community and the exhilarating catharsis that comes from the combined strength of human spirit and artistic expression.

In German, Spanish, and Mbukushu with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere - Main Slate Buy Tickets In 1993, after the death of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, the wild array of exotic pets he kept in his menagerie were shipped off to zoos and other preserves. His hippopotamuses, however, escaped, fending for themselves, reproducing, and becoming the target of government sterilizers and poachers. Dominican filmmaker Nelson Carlos de los Santos Arias (Cocote, New Directors/New Films 2018) takes a fascinating, highly unorthodox approach to this strange but true tale, which is told from the perspective of a sentient hippo, Pepe, at the moment of its death. We hear the animal’s thoughts as they’re spoken aloud by a raspy narrator, as the film skips across time and continents, from Pepe’s home country of Namibia to the Rio Magdalena in Colombia, where Pepe has escaped; shuffles modes of storytelling; and alternates between nonfiction and fantasy. In its sympathetic inquiry and aesthetic muscularity, Pepe poses provocative questions about the ever-shifting ecological stakes of life on earth and the nature of being.

Rescued by a member of the local Indigenous tribe, the child, Rebecca, is the only survivor of a plane crash. Years pass, and Rebecca (Helena Zengel) has become something of a local celebrity after her father (Jeremy Xido), an American missionary, has cast the teenager as a faith healer capable of miracles. Just as Rebecca is beginning to have a will of her own, doubting her father and the role in which she’s been cast, another crisis emerges when illegal loggers encroach on the land, threatening the livelihoods of the local tribe, and forcing emotional, familial, and racial reckonings. South Africa–born director Pia Marais has fashioned a mesmerizing, entrancingly photographed moral tale with no easy answers that is also a singular coming-of-age fable.

Apocalypse in the Tropics focuses on how the evangelical movement paved the way for the presidency of Jair Bolsonaro and continues to pose the threat of a national theocracy. Gaining remarkable access to major figures on both sides of the extreme political divide, including fire-and-brimstone televangelist Silas Malafaia, who was Bolsonaro’s right-hand man, and Bolsonaro’s liberal predecessor and successor President Lulu da Silva, Costa provides a gripping and urgent précis on the recent tumultuous events that have put Brazil in the international spotlight while painting an unsettling portrait of democracy’s fragility.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere - Spotlight Buy Tickets One afternoon in 1971, Rubens Paiva, a former congressman and outspoken critic of Brazil’s newly instituted military dictatorship, was taken from his home in Rio de Janeiro by government officials, told nothing more than that he must give a “deposition” to authorities, and disappeared. Adapted from his son Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s memoir, this overwhelming, richly realized political drama from Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) stays tightly wedded to the perspective of Rubens’s wife, Eunice (a shattering Fernanda Torres), whose indefatigable search for the truth about her husband would stretch out for decades.

In English) U.S. Premiere - Spotlight Buy Tickets Following his acclaimed historical biopics Jackie and Spencer, about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Princess Diana, respectively, Chilean director Pablo Larraín has made his third entry in an unofficial trilogy about world-famous women dealing with the blinding glare of celebrity while at emotional crossroads. In an all-consuming performance at once poignant and imperious, Angelina Jolie becomes Maria Callas, the American-born, Greek opera singer whose voice and intensely dramatic life captivated millions before her death from a heart attack at the age of 53. Set in Paris, September 1977, during the final week of her life, Maria follows the legendary soprano as she negotiates her public image and private self and reckons with the increasingly blurred boundaries between the venerated “La Divina” and the vulnerable human being Maria.

In Spanish with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere - Currents Buy Tickets Nicolás Pereda, whose films elegantly balance wry, naturalistic interpersonal comedy and surreal transcendence, returns with a marvelous inquiry into art-making, storytelling, and the fragile bonds of friendship that takes his blend of the theatrical and the mundane to a new level. The film centers on a trio of friends, connected by a writing workshop they attended years earlier. Today, as they navigate romance and infidelity, their bond is further complicated by the fact that they are all auditioning to be in the same low-budget movie. Connected by a complex sound design that occasionally collapses time and space, scenes of absurd mundanity give way to the fantasy of fiction, its triangle of poets, artists, and actors motivated equally by wishful dreaming and comic, everyday neuroses.

Smarting from his last experience making a movie with “that nobody of a director,” which he’s told was “rejected by a once-famous film festival” for its alleged misanthropy, Erdman is this time joined by a caustic, endlessly philosophizing German filmmaker (Susanne Bredehöft) and a robot version of himself from the past (visualized as his own disembodied, portable miniature head). Shot in Berlin, Malta, and Mexico City, but set mostly in his bunker-like home, The Suit gives Erdman ample room to expound upon cinema, the corporeal vs. the digital, the apocalypse, architecture, health and nutrition, and what it means to see and be seen in a world that’s increasingly turning inward. Texts include everything from Walter Benjamin to Nelly Furtado, and nothing is sacred.

In his inventive You Burn Me, the tragic romantic relationship between ancient Greek poet Sappho and the siren goddess Britomartis, as described in “Sea Foam,” a chapter in Italian novelist Cesare Pavese’s 1947 book Dialogues with Leucò, becomes the starting point for an elegantly constructed exercise of research, performance, and interpretation by a group of contemporary women. Given to repetition and abstraction, Piñeiro’s film brings desire and myth to vivid life, reflecting the fragmented nature of what remains of Sappho’s poetry. A Cinema Guild release.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Along with Glauber Rocha’s Black God, White Devil and Ruy Guerra’s The Guns, Nelson Pereira dos Santos’s impassioned adaptation of the novel by Graciliano Ramos is considered part of the Golden Trilogy of films that announced Cinema Novo to the world. Set in 1940 amidst a drought-stricken sertão of northeastern Brazil, Barren Lives follows a family—Sinhá Vitória (Maria Ribeiro), Fabiano (Átila Iório), their two small boys, and their dog—as they traverse the region’s merciless landscape in search of work, their attempts to eke out any living met only with further hostility and violence by authority figures. Producer Luiz Carlos Barreto, who also served as a cinematographer, used a “naked lens, with no filter,” that embraced blown-out contrasts and transformed austere imagery into something altogether more unusual and immediate, amounting to a flinty portrait of cyclical poverty that, as the film’s opening implores, “no worthy Brazilian can ignore anymore.” 4K Restoration · Introduction by Lucy Barreto and Bruno Barreto on September 7 Saturday, September 7 at 3:15pm; Friday, September 13 at 6:30pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/d039d85b-dffe-4730-b3b0-be9b42086dee/Screen+Shot+2024-08-13+at+10.23.48+AM.jpg Events - 'Isso é Brasil: Cinema According to L.C.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets “I can only make films in Brazil and about Brazil. Only Brazil interests me,” once declared Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, whose five features and nine shorts form one of the most important oeuvres of Cinema Novo. His debut feature—arguably one of the greatest films about soccer—is a form-shifting documentary portrait of his country’s beloved bow-legged dribbler Mané Garrincha. Interspersing moving images and still photographs (many taken by Luiz Carlos Barreto, who also produced and co-wrote the film), de Andrade weaves a kaleidoscopic sketch of the unlikely athlete. In three sections, the film imparts a direct-cinema look at Garrincha’s daily life and his celebrity; a dramatic, near play-by-play account of his performances (and upstaging by the much younger Pelé) in Brazil’s 1958 and ’62 World Cup wins; and, finally, a coda suggesting the icon’s mythic hold on his spectators’ imagination as something by turns galvanizing and paralytic. 2K restoration courtesy of L.C.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Luiz Carlos Barreto, Nelson Pereira dos Santos, and singer/composer Geraldo Vandré produced this exhilarating western based on João Guimarães Rosa’s Sagarana, a haunting short story collection detailing people of the sertão in the Brazil’s southeastern state of Minas Gerais. It follows the mythical “hero’s journey” of Augusto Matraga (Leonardo Villar), a violent farmer betrayed by his wife and left for dead. After he is rescued by a pair of farmers, Matraga transforms into a man of faith, and his path of contrition is tested when an opportunity for revenge careens toward an unforgettable final act. Featuring an intense score by Vandré (which Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles revived in Bacurau [2019]), The Hour and Turn of Augusto Matraga wisely upends Old versus New Testament lessons and transforms its deceptively simple revenge story into something far more ruminative and vast.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets A pivotal film from one of the key figures of Brazil’s Cinema Novo, Entranced Earth is alternately a rallying cry and a poetic account of political corruption, the systems that shape it, and the challenges of active citizenship in times of political upheaval. Made three years after the right-wing coup d’etat in Brazil, the film is set in the fictional country of El Dorado, in which a young intellectual attempts to chart a political path. First joining the extreme right, and then a party of the left, he ultimately finds dispiriting power dynamics in each. Shot by Luiz Carlos Barreto and unfolding in a mesmeric style that mixes bizarre, baroque imagery with realist formal maneuvers—something like the synthesis of Rosi, Buñuel, and Visconti—the film is a monumental work of political cinema that pushes its audience to examine its own role in civil society.

On the soundtrack, journalist Sérgio Chapelin tells the story of the Brazilian team’s first three World Cup wins with Pelé as the protagonist. Unlike in Garrincha, the People’s Joy, which studied the inner and public life of its subject, This Is Pelé delights solely in the athlete’s artistry on the field. Escorel’s montage, composed of both black-and-white and gorgeous color archival material, alights upon small but specific details of its extraordinary subject: his passes, his goals, and the cultish crowds cheering around him. 2K restoration courtesy of L.C.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets “O Que Será!” Bruno Barreto was 20 years old when he injected new life into Brazilian cinema and announced Sônia Braga to the world with this sensuous comedy-fantasy, based on the brilliant Jorge Amado’s 1966 novel. Braga stars as Flor, whose gambling, unfaithful husband Vadinho (José Wilker, Bye Bye Brazil) drops dead while dancing in the streets of Bahia during carnival. Eight years later, Flor gets the respectable husband she’s always yearned for in Dr. Teodoro Maduereira (Mauro Mendonça), but her neglected libido calls her first husband from the grave…. With the help of Murilo Salles’s brilliant camerawork, set against Salvador’s colonial colors, Dona Flor brilliantly contrasts Bahia’s rigid middle-class customs with the libertine life richly embodied by Wilker’s blond malandrinho and Braga’s erotic breakthrough performance. Considering the words of Amado, a communist militant who left Brazil from 1941–42, and music by Chico Buarque, who left during the ’60s military dictatorship, the film, while not overtly political, features themes of love, loss, and exile. Dona Flor became one of Brazil's most successful films upon its release in 1976, and remained its highest grossing for 35 years. Internationally, it received Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations and was the highest-grossing Brazilian film in the U.S. for more than 20 years. 4K restoration · Q&A with Lucy Barreto and Bruno Barreto moderated by Mila Burns on September 6 Friday, September 6 at 6pm; Tuesday, September 10 at 2:45pm; September 14 at 9pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/dd29c800-4a1b-4939-bdc3-1bcaf57c8ba9/Screen+Shot+2024-08-13+at+10.53.05+AM.jpg Events - 'Isso é Brasil: Cinema According to L.C.

Set within the tropical, overcrowded quarters of Rio’s Copacabana, where newsstands peddle porn in comic books and a serial killer preys upon cab drivers, go-go girl/sex worker Sandra (Christina Aché) and her sadistic hustler boyfriend Toninho (Paolo Guarnieri) play out a doomed romance against the backdrop of this wanton killing spree, which happens to be investigated by Sandra's estranged cop father (Paulo Gracindo). Written by José Louzeiro and Leopoldo Serran, who allegedly based their screenplay on true events, Amor Bandido is a vividly unsettling and completely bizarre tale about a stratified patriarchal society and the uncontrollable fallout of its disenfranchised youth.

One of his most essential works, Bye Bye Brazil concerns a motley crew of traveling performers (led by José Wilker, the devilish spirit of Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands) entertaining various audiences across Brazil’s northwestern Amazonian landscape. Accordionist Ciço (Fábio Júnior) and his wife Dasdô (Zaira Zambelli) join the rollicking caravan, leading to a string of adventures and good songs. Diegues’s low-key road movie-cum-musical captures the country’s changing times—both the myth and the reality of Brazil’s underdevelopment—with documentary-like specificity.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy TIckets This major late-career work from Nelson Pereira dos Santos (who had struggled to make it for more than 20 years) is based, as was his earlier groundbreaking film Barren Lives, on a book by Graciliano Ramos. Though it takes place during the Getúlio Vargas dictatorships of the 1930s, when a violent wave of repressions swept the country, Pereira doubtlessly points to a more contemporary Brazil, crafting a damning account against prisons in the widest sense of the term. It centers on Ramos (Carlos Vereza) sinking ever deeper into a bizarre nightmare after he is locked up with other political prisoners in Rio de Janeiro (for “subversive” writing) and then, eventually, with all stripes of inmates on a remote island. Through enforced contact with a wide variety of criminals, he gains a more refined understanding of his country as he grows closer than ever to his wife (Glória Pires), who is transformed by her husband’s imprisonment into a resourceful and enterprising combatant in the struggle for freedom.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets The first Brazilian film nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in more than 30 years, Fábio Barreto’s romantic historical melodrama is a complex study of love and ambition at the dawn of the 20th century. Set in Brazil’s southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul around 1910, when thousands of Italian immigrants were settling in the area, the film concerns two such couples—Teresa and Angelo, and Pierina and Massimo—whose respectively mismatched unions become painfully apparent when they decide to live under one roof. Their four lives intersect with lasting repercussions after Massimo (Bruno Campos, in his film debut) and Teresa (Patricia Pillar) develop undeniable feelings for each other. Drawn from José Clemente Pozenato’s novel of the same name, which refers to a card game in which partners must betray each other to win, O Quatrilho luxuriates in agrarian period trappings while casting a jaundiced eye on restrictive cultural mores. 2K restoration courtesy of L.C.

Bruno Barreto’s Oscar-nominated political thriller chronicles one of the most radical acts born of this period, in which a group of young revolutionaries abducted the United States Ambassador to Brazil, Charles Elbrick, and held him in the hilly neighborhood of Santa Teresa until the military government agreed to release 15 imprisoned rebels. Starring Alan Arkin as Elbrick and Pedro Cardoso as Fernando Gabeira, whose 1979 account in O Que É Isso, Companheiro? formed the basis for this film, Four Days in September is an ultra-tense process movie and a complex, melancholic meditation on the everyday Brazilians who challenged and were ultimately destroyed by the dictatorship.

Wagner Moura (Elite Squad, Narcos), in one of his breakthrough roles, and Cláudia Abreu star as Romão and Rose, a couple with five children making the 3,200-kilometer (2,000-mile) family bicycle trip, earning some money along the way singing the hits of Roberto Carlos at road stops.

Miranda Otto (Lord of the Rings) portrays Bishop as icy yet vulnerable, while Glória Pires embodies the passionate Lota. The film juxtaposes Bishop’s alcoholism with Lota’s park obsession against the backdrop of Brazil’s brewing military coup. As their relationship unravels and Bishop returns to New York, the film offers a unique perspective on this turbulent period in Brazil’s history. It explores the quest for inspiration and is a cautionary tale on relationship dynamics.

Delgado The classic “grotesque farce” that launched a widely adored 33-film collaboration between the legendary Cantinflas (Mario Moreno) and director Miguel Melitón Delgado, The Unknown Policeman is a marvelously joke-a-minute comedy about mistaken identity. It stars the iconic comic as Chato, a poor chap who, desperate for his wife and mother-in-law’s approval, gets into a scuffle with a gang of thieves and emerges as the heroic Agent 777—a master of disguise and the actor’s most beloved, oft-revisited creation. Hailed by Chaplin himself as the world’s greatest comedian, Cantinflas—with his own ragamuffin tiny mustache, grubby vest, and a rope for a belt—was something like the Tramp by way of Abbott & Costello… and something else entirely new: a virtuosic subversive who used his physicality, acerbic wit, and hilarious gift of gab to satirize everyone from the police to politicians to social elites.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets “Amok? I think it’s about… a kind of drunkenness among the Malays. It is more than a drunkenness… it is a madness, a kind of human rage… an attack of homicidal, senseless monomania, which cannot be compared to any alcoholic intoxication…” –Stefan Zweig Directed by Antonio Momplet and starring Julián Soler and the ever-stunning Maria Félix (pulling double duty as a blonde and a brunette, by turns sensual and powerful), Amok is a feat of production design and a pictorially ravishing literary adaptation of love, madness, and death during World War II. It follows an alcoholic doctor (Soler) who flees to India after losing his fortune pleasing his insatiable lover. While abroad, he catches sight of another woman, who looks disturbingly similar to his old flame. The Spanish-born Momplet (who escaped the Civil War and fled to Argentina before settling in Mexico) brought Stefan Zweig’s eponymous novella to the big screen on a scale hitherto unseen in Mexican cinema, which involved tediously recreating a transatlantic ship, a Monte Carlo casino, palaces, and tropical jungles.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets A seminal masterpiece of the comedia ranchera—a cowboy comedy distinctive for its musical sequences and ranch setting—The Three Garcías follows Luis Antonio (iconic singer Pedro Infante), José Luis (Abel Salazar), and Luis Manuel (Víctor Manuel Mendoza) as a trio of quarrelsome cousins who have grown up under the care of their strict Doña Luisa García (Sara García, aka “Mexico’s Grandmother”). Chaos mounts with the arrival of their fourth cousin, the beautiful American Lupita Smith (Marga López), who provokes an insane and crazy competition among the three men. Director Ismael Rodríguez, who lived in Los Angeles acting in experimental films before returning to Mexico in 1942, crafted one of the country’s most beloved works with this effortless depiction of the values and fears of Mexico’s rural side. The film was such a box-office success that the cast reprised their roles for the sequel, The Return of García, made that same year. Courtesy of UNAM Film Archive Collection.

A film by Alejandro Galindo (Mexico, 1948, 115 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets This musical-inflected pro-labor union comedy from Alejandro Galindo—a pioneering chronicler of the travails of workaday Mexicans—charts the chaos that erupts when a bus driver (David Silva, Wetbacks) and his ticket-ripping coworker (Fernando Soto “Mantequilla,” one of the era’s most recognizable supporting comic actors) are suspended after deviating from their route for the lovely Cholita (Olga Jiménez) and subsequently caught in the crossfire of two rival transportation companies. Corner Stop! is as much a finely detailed, lovingly drawn snapshot of a rapidly growing Mexico City and the broad-toned jargon of its new urban proletariat as it is an incendiary critique of urban sprawl, workers’ rights, and the universal pains of customer service. Look out for an appearance by Marco Antonio Campos “Viruta” in his first film credit. Courtesy of Filmoteca UNAM’s collection.

In Spanish and English with English subtitles) Buy Tickets An actor’s director who excelled in melodramatic terrain, Chilean-born filmmaker Tito Davison made more than 60 films, many of them in Mexico, and was known in Hollywood for the anti–counter culture cult movie The Big Cube. Based on a story by the poet Xavier Villaurrutia and infused with the spirit of Casablanca and Notorious, his second feature—meant to rehabilitate the iconic María Félix’s career—is this moody World War II-era espionage-thriller that unfolds in a Mexico City teeming with con artists, double agents, and European expats with a secret or two. Félix (who can also be seen in Amok) stars as Lena, a beautiful and mysteriously sinister refugee haunted by her past and chased into the arms of a rich, unsuspecting industrialist (Fernando Soler)… not for love, but for information. May God Forgive Me transforms its woman-in-trouble mystery of double-crossings, love triangles, and murder into a disillusioned reflection on the sweeping consequences of war and dictatorships, marked by a rare degree of sympathy for its femme fatale protagonist.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Tin Tan (Germán Valdés) and Gilberto Martínez Solares were a renowned cinematic duo, and The King of the Neighborhood is among their most celebrated collaborations: a delightfully charming comedy, as Martínez Solares himself described it, “about a good man who wants to be bad.” Something like Robin Hood filtered through The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Tin Tan is as much a railroad engineer who single-handedly cares for his son as he is a con artist who specializes in robbing rich ladies and redistributing their wealth to his like-minded swindler friends and protected neighbors, one of whom is Carmelita (Silvia Pinal, star of Viridiana, The Exterminating Angel, and Simon of the Desert). But his grift turns complicated when an outlandish bachelorette (fellow iconic comedian Vitola) wants to marry him. An icon of Mexican-American border culture, typified by his heavy usage of Spanglish and bad-mannered pachucostyle, Tin Tan melded the picaresque with his inimitable physical humor to become one of the most beloved comedians of his time.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets One of the most prolific and venturesome directors in Mexican cinema (and occasional Sam Peckinpah actor), Chano Urueta (The Witch’s Mirror) worked in nearly every genre across a body of work spanning 115 films, and this 1949 feature is among his most singular. Part biographical documentary, part pulpy boxing film, The Great Champion marvels at the life and unparalleled stamina of Luis Villanueva “Kid Azteca” (also known as Kid D.F., Kid México, or Kid Moctezuma), played by the longstanding welterweight champion himself. Exulting in on-location footage of Mexico City’s Tepito neighborhood and in-the-ring boxing matches, shaded with a dark noir undercurrent for extra audience appeal, Urueta delivers a grandly entertaining genre picture around Villanueva’s rise to the world championship. The boxer dedicated the film to “his dear mother Luisa Páramo and the great Mexican audience,” considering the many who would never be able to afford a ticket to one of his matches in person.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Pueblerina, a key film from Emilio “el Indio” Fernández, is among his most eloquent variations on the rural melodrama, underpinned by themes of injustice, revenge, and redemption. Gloriously shot on location by Gabriel Figueroa (Take Me in Your Arms, The Unknown Policeman), whose superbly composed frames lend an unassuming grandeur to its landscapes and characters, the film follows Aurelio Rodríguez (Roberto Cañedo), who returns to his town after serving a prison sentence, only to find his fiancée Paloma (the singer and artist Columba Domínguez, and Fernández’s favorite actress) living on the edge of town and pregnant. A forlorn masterpiece of understatement and visual splendor, Pueblerina was a massive success in Mexico and abroad at the time of its release. Fernández would remake it 30 years later as his penultimate work, México Norte. Restored by the Laboratorio de Restauración Digital de La Cineteca Nacional. Televisa, S. de R.L. de C.V.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets “¡Wereme!” Fernando Méndez’s wildly entertaining gangster melodrama captured the magnetic on-screen presence of Víctor Parra (Wetbacks) alongside the hip gestures and jargon of an entire generation. Reaching Cagney levels of style, Parra stars as the titular Spanglish-speaking pachuco who loves zoot suits and his mother but gets in a little over his head after using the local mob to destroy a taxi driver’s life. By its final act, The Suave One feels closer to an RKO horror film—unsurprisingly, Méndez would make some of his most influential films in the genre—and remains a memorable look at the pitfalls of angsty youth and their flirtations with the criminal underworld, highlighted by Manuel Gómez Urquiza’s ink-black cinematography and featuring songs by Elpidio Ramírez and Dámaso Pérez Prado. The film’s release was postponed for nearly a year because some officials felt its violence harmed the carefully constructed image of Mexico City.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets The Rumberas film was a popular and uniquely Mexican Golden Age genre that drew from Hollywood film noir and injected it with a dose of social criticism, and its protagonists were Afro-Caribbean dancers-cum-femmes fatales who unapologetically subverted social mores. Alberto Gout, synonymous with the Rumberas film, reached the genre’s apex of depravity with Sensuality, a deliriously kitsch-smitten melodrama of sexual subjugation and perverse pleasures. The rumbera here is the compassionless Aurora (an incandescent Ninón Sevilla, Take Me in Your Arms), who wreaks vengeance on the judge who put her and her pimp in jail. Sevilla, who dedicated her life to cinema and died at the age of 94, was described by François Truffaut as a challenge to bourgeois patterns—the eroticized world of the rumberas, the melodramatic halo of her characters, and singular musicality were attractive to a stereotypical European gaze.

In English with Spanish subtitles) Buy Tickets One of the first women to helm a feature in Mexico, Matilde Landeta stood out in an industry dominated by men by self-financing her earliest productions. In her third and last feature as a director, based on an idea by the journalist Luis Spota, she crafted a strikingly nuanced portrayal of sex work that was truly ahead of its time. It follows two sisters with radically different lives: Maria (Elda Peralta, The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales), who—along with her supportive group of fellow sex workers—must deal with unscrupulous, abusive clients and her exploitative pimp, Rudy (Ernesto Alonso); and Elena (Miroslava Stern, Stranger on Horseback), a society woman trapped in a marriage of convenience, who falls prey to Rudy’s fortune-seeking seduction. In spite of its melodramatic structure, which the film’s producers applied as a way to remold its timely, social-realist subject matter, the film slyly sidesteps generic formulas and flies in the face of feminine heroine archetypes. Matilde, who founded the Sala Tlalpan in Mexico City, and continues to inspire women filmmakers throughout Latin America, described Streetwalker as such: “Instead of making a history of selfless women, I wanted to create a history of women who had done something in life. I wanted to make my films about women I know and feel are true.” Courtesy of Filmoteca UNAM’s collection.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Marcos, a pelota (or jai alai) player keeps a constellation of adoring women in close orbit: the worldly-wise cabaret singer Lucrecia; Sara, rich and slightly older; and Rebeca, a young woman from a good family who discovers she’s pregnant. Buried under gambling debts, Armando, Rebeca’s brother, blackmails Marcos into throwing some important matches, but the plan fails, making Marcos a target of the mob. Robert Gavaldón had an instinctual feel for the surrealistic heart beating below the surface of film noir; the action and subplots pile on so fast and thick that what remains most vivid is an overwhelming sense of corruption that seems to be the rule rather than the exception in daily life. The screenplay was adapted (by Gavaldón, José Revueltas, and Jesús Cárdenas) from stories by Luis Spota, a journalist known for trawling the back alleys and dark passages of Mexican society.

Co-directed by Edward Dein, who co-wrote Jacques Tourneur’s The Leopard Man, and Disney animator-turned-director Carlos Véjar Jr., The Sword of Granada brings together the ever-valiant Don Pedro de Rivera (Romero) and his sidekicks Ponce de León (Tito Junco) and Lolita (Jurado) as they infiltrate a Moor-occupied Spanish castle to seek revenge, the elixir of life, and a gold-making formula concocted by the caliph’s alchemist. They might even rescue the caliph’s niece (Iturbide) from an arranged marriage, too. Throughout, Dein and Véjar Jr. pack every second of their rousing adventure with action and movement, taking full advantage of every trick of the stereoscopic image.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Writing in his autobiography, My Last Sigh, Luis Buñuel recalled the basis of The River and Death, a bloody and scathingly contrarian pueblo-western made in the middle of his filmmaking career in Mexico (1947–65): “I’ve always been fascinated by the ease with which certain people can kill others, and this idea runs throughout the film in the form of a series of simple and apparently gratuitous murders.” Penned by his frequent scribe Luis Alcoriza (The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales, showing in this series), who adapted Miguel Álvarez Acosta’s 1952 novel White Wall on a Black Rock, the film concerns the final chapter of a generations-old blood feud between two families, and their remaining sons (Miguel Torruco and Joaquín Cordero) compelled to end the dispute once and for all. Buñuel examines, with supreme irony and in reaction to what he noted as a “dramatic aspect of Latin American culture,” an environment pressed between violence and deep-rooted traditions, and sharply deconstructs the images of other rural melodramas made during this period.

Take Me in Your Arms follows a fisherman’s daughter (the incomparable Ninón Sevilla, also serving as an uncredited producer with brothers Pedro and Guillermo Calderón) through a nightmare of exploitation and misery—along the way becoming a famous soubrette—in order to erase her father’s debts while she tries, again and again, to reunite with her true love (Armando Silvestre). Bracho and esteemed cinematographer Gabriel Figueroa (The Unknown Policeman, Pueblerina) bring exquisite atmospherics to each shot with carefully calibrated lighting and meticulous compositions—on location in Veracruz or via stunningly designed and choreographed musical sequences—but the film equally belongs to Sevilla, whose unforgettable performance elevates this rapturous portrait of agitated desire into something far more complicated and ahead of its time.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets “In this land, dreams come at a very high price.” Alejandro Galindo’s high-strung melodrama-western about border crossing and undocumented immigrants is as timely and lacerating today as it was in 1955. Based on a story by Juan Rulfo, Wetbacks follows Rafael Améndola (David Silva), one of the many Mexican workers who make a perilous journey to the United States in search of the so-called American Dream. Instead he lives in constant anxiety and is alienated by Americans and Mexican-Americans alike (among them, a bleach-blonde and wicked Víctor Parra). It was the first film to seriously address the issues faced by Mexicans in the United States, and the Mexican government delayed its release for two years out of fear of incensing its northern neighbor. Galindo, who had been accused of “distorting reality,” beautifully and humanely expresses the insecurity and danger of illegal migration alongside the equally daunting obstacles faced in an unknown land: labor exploitation, discrimination, culture shock, loneliness, and isolation.

An uproarious Arturo de Córdova (The Kneeling Goddess) stars as Mr. Pablo Morales, an affable taxidermist who for 20 years has been psychologically tormented by his puritanical wife (Amparo Rivelles, delightfully hateable). She despises everything about him—his vocation, his amateur photography hobby, his friendship with the neighborhood kids—but nevertheless he still loves her. Every man has his limits, though, even a doting husband, and one day Pablo meticulously plans the perfect murder…. A freewheeling mixing of genres—horror, comedy, courtroom drama—and a personal favorite of Guillermo del Toro, The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales gleefully twists the knife into the hypocrisies of middle-class respectability, satirizing everything from crumbling marriages to the Catholic church to the justice system.

Exploring a real homicide case in a singular fashion, which begins after a mutilated corpse is fished out of a Mexico City canal, Galindo presents an investigation into the (then) cutting-edge forensic technology police had at their disposal to solve crimes—in cold, methodical fashion—and examine the pathologies behind them.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Based on a script by Carlos Enrique Taboada—later widely known for his own horror tetralogy, which culminated with the Ariel Award winner Poison for the Fairies (1984)—The Witch’s Mirror is an endlessly suggestive, cleverly film-literate supernatural chiller from pioneering director Chano Urueta (The Great Champion). A whiplash-inducing cross between Rebecca, Eyes Without a Face, and The Hands of Orlac, set inside a nondescript hacienda in Mexico, the film concerns a housekeeper/witch (Isabela Corona) who concocts a beyond-the-grave revenge scheme after her goddaughter is murdered by her philandering doctor husband… who experiments on corpses. Making the absolute most out of a modest budget, Urueta constructs an increasingly unsettling film with unhinged twists and profound ideas concerning fate and societal standards of beauty.

THE VAMPIRE WOMEN / SANTO CONTRA LAS MUJERES VAMPIRO A film by Alfonso Corona Blake (Mexico, 1962, 90 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Wrestling culture was wildly popular in the 1950s. By the following decade, it was a full-fledged phenomenon that cinema capitalized on with lucha libre films, which mixed the sport’s intense fairground spectacle with the mystery enshrined by its satin-masked marquee names, who transformed into superheroes battling evil—human or supernatural—in films that embraced a wild combination of genres and cinematic influences. Perhaps no other figure epitomized this brand of Mexican wrestler cinema more than the ever-charismatic Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta, better known by his ring name El Santo. In this cult film classic, which inspired so many other productions in its wake with its sui generis combination of exciting fight sequences, clever special effects, and sense of humor, El Santo is tasked with thwarting a group of lady vampires from kidnapping a professor’s daughter and marrying her to the devil.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets For their third B. Traven adaptation together, Roberto Gavaldón and lead Ignacio López Tarso recruited the frequent Luis Buñuel scenarist Julio Alejandro to craft this unsettling, surrealist-tinged melodrama with a certain Hitchcockian fondness for double lives. Pina Pellicer stars as Luisa, a young woman from the countryside, who travels to the capital and goes to work for Albino (Tarso), the widowed owner of a candy shop. Her new employer soon develops a fondness for Luisa, who insists—to everyone around her—that within weeks she’ll be marrying her boyfriend Carlos, a driver for a wealthy family. Yet something seems amiss: Carlos never shows up to spend Christmas Eve with Luisa, and furthermore forgets to give her a present. Her wedding day finally comes, and Luisa heads off to the church, and waits… and waits. Gavaldón here looks at the new, middle-class culture then spreading rapidly in urban Mexico, exposing how appearances too often replace any real substance in even the most intimate relations.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Perhaps the pinnacle of Mexican camp, made the same year as the finale of the Adam West–starring American television series, The Batwoman is a zippy, action-packed, delightfully deranged comic book movie that draws on everything from Batmania and The Creature from the Black Lagoon to the world of lucha libre to Mexico’s tourism industry. After the bodies of several luchadores wash ashore on the scenic Acapulco coast, local police have no one to turn to but the legendary Batwoman (Italian actress Maura Monti), a masked, blue-bikini-wearing vigilante who uses her personal wealth to confront a deranged scientist hell-bent on creating a breed of underwater wrestlers. Ultra-prolific René Cardona, whose career spanned Mexico’s Golden Age and beyond, laces his direction with an uncategorizable tone that swings somewhere between ironic and dead serious—a charming subversion that keeps the film as fun today as it was in 1968. 4K restoration by Permanencia Voluntaria and Cinema Preservation Alliance with the generous support of Academy Film Archive, Paso del Norte Community Foundation, and FOCINE.

In Spanish with English subtitles) World Premiere / Buy Tickets Valparaíso, Chile. A swath of trees sway in the distance with the passing wind as smoke billows and hovers over the trees — then the smoke quickly turns a shade of orange. In one immediate moment, wildfires erupt around the trees, quickly and aggressively escalating the precarious condition in the Chilean wilderness. These are the challenges and dangerous circumstances that the volunteer fire brigade in the port city of Valparaíso frequently find themselves in. They’re aided in these struggles by a French fire brigade that arrives in Valparaíso to train — and instill methodology to — their Chilean counterparts. A warm and hospitable camaraderie is fostered between the Chilean and French firefighters as the country’s leaders and citizenry brace for the drafting of a new Constitution to repudiate the remnants of the pro-Pinochet dictatorship. Soon, civil unrest erupts on the streets, and, in parallel fashion, the wildfires quickly escalate around the city, disastrously impacting rural communities and neighborhoods. The brigades’ unified collective action must be implemented to effectively combat the ferocious flames.

In Spanish with English subtitles) World Premiere / Buy Tickets Set in the Bolivian capital of La Paz, The Dog Thief centers on young teenager Martin, a shoeshine boy working on the city streets. While he has a room in a large, old house courtesy of his late mother’s close friend, he is an orphan with few friends and fewer avenues to support himself. But hope exists in the form of Martin’s best client, Mr. Novoa, a lonely tailer whose sole friend is Astor, a beautiful German Shepherd he cares for like a son. Initially motivated by a possible reward, Martin steals Astor. But as Martin and Mr. Novoa spend more time together, a bond develops that neither anticipates. With shades of Italian Neorealism for inspiration, writer-director Vinko Tomicic’s beautifully shot film is so grounded and immersive that La Paz feels like a main character all its own. Featuring touching, emotionally honest performances from Franklin Aro and Alfredo Castro, the film eschews easy narrative beats to elevate the inherent tension, instead allowing interpersonal dynamics to slowly turn up the temperature for each character.

In Mexico, independent journalists who report on issues such as local corruption, water diversion away from farmers and cartel-related shootings face the dangers of violence, death and forced relocation from their country.

In English and Spanish with English subtitles) New York Premiere / Buy Tickets Two sisters grapple with their relationship with their well-meaning but troubled father during their summer visits to his home in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Told in four snapshots spanning two decades, Alessandra Lacorazza’s directorial debut is a quietly powerful look at the fragile mosaic that underlies the relationship between parent and child. The cracks in the seams that get ignored, the events that shatter the relationship and, ultimately, the attempts to put it back together again, never quite the same. The film is anchored by a heartrending performance from René Pérez Joglar (also known by his musical moniker Residente) as the affable but deeply troubled Vicente who struggles with inner demons that keep him from fully connecting with his daughters.

But Phambi’s issues making the school’s payments puts Ixon in perpetual peril of expulsion.

At the same university, brooding academic Pablo (Joaquín Furriel), sleepwalking through his own midlife malaise, begins an affair with free-spirited student Luciana (Verónica Gerez). As both characters yearn for connection within marriages long shaped by deafening silence and passive-aggressive maneuvering, Pablo and Natalia must come to terms with the accumulated effects of their own fear, struggling against suffocating gender expectations and the weight of their secret lives, leading to a powerful moment of reckoning for each in this refreshingly honest and frank adult drama.

In English) North American Premiere / Buy Tickets In the final months of King Henry VIII's (Jude Law) reign, his sixth wife, Katherine Parr (Alicia Vikander), navigates the treacherous waters of the Tudor court. As a champion of radical change, Parr's progressive beliefs and courage put her at odds with the ailing and increasingly paranoid monarch. When Henry appoints her as Regent during his absence, Parr's newfound power threatens the courtiers who scheme against her, casting doubt on her fidelity to the King. The English-language debut by acclaimed Brazilian filmmaker Karim Aïnouz is a compelling historical drama that sheds light on the often overlooked story of Katherine Parr. Alicia Vikander delivers a nuanced performance as the intelligent and determined Queen, while Jude Law's portrayal of the volatile Henry VIII is a scene-stealing highlight.

She says she knows the pool boy; impulsively, Isabel asks her to stay. It’s an unusual move, but Isabel and Joe are unconventional people — she’s a war correspondent and he’s a poet, and both are committed to living lives of artistic integrity and freedom. Their unstable peace is shattered by the arrival of Kitti (Ariane Labed), the naked stranger in question, whose earthy manners and unaffected honesty expose subtle fissures in Isabel and Joe’s marriage. Director Justin Anderson shoots the film version of Deborah Levy’s celebrated novel in warm shades of yellow, clay and dusty teal, adding a thick, sunbaked atmosphere to an already sexy, languid tale. Set on an unnamed Mediterranean island, this artfully made, enigmatic dance between Eros and Thanatos is set to the organic sounds of singing bowls and wooden blocks on Greek composer Coti K's score.

In English and Swahili with English subtitles) Buy Tickets / Q&A with Yajaira De La Espada Teacher Don’t Teach Me Nonsense is a documentary that gives voice to the growing trend of Afro-descendants moving back to the continent of Africa to live. It highlights the life of a professional educator and their journey through the Texas school system to find freedom amid issues surrounding school equity, racism, and miseducation. This is juxtaposed against the life and legacy of the founding father of Tanzania, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, who enacted empowering policies such as Ujamaa and Education for Self-Reliance, and the life and times of Dr. John Pombe Magufuli, the president who denounced COVID-19. While the American education system has left more to be desired in teaching about African leaders such as Nyerere and Magufuli, this documentary dissects the issues of culturally unresponsive curricula and harmful teaching practices in the U.S., providing solutions centered on the history of independence and contemporary political policies of Tanzania. Teacher Don’t Teach Me Nonsense helps viewers to imagine a society governed by teachers and the positive impact they bring.

In English, Lakota, Portuguese with English subtitles) A triptych of stories focused on Indigenous culture in the Americas takes the spotlight in the latest feature from one of international cinema’s most exciting auteurs, Lisandro Alonso. A striking opening sequence revisits and remixes his last film Jauja (Festival 2015), reuniting the director with lead actor Viggo Mortenson, who plays a gunslinger looking for his kidnapped daughter. In an abrupt shift of location, filmmaking style, and gaze, the scenario moves to the Pine Ridge reservation in wintry South Dakota where Native American police officer Alaina searches for another missing young woman. And in the final segment, a shape-shifting bird introduces viewers to a forest-dwelling tribe in the Amazon and a community contending with interpersonal rivalries. Employing different cinematic styles and an increasingly dreamlike narrative, Eureka (which premiered at Cannes) is elusive and pointed in its willingness to abandon traditional storytelling methods in favor of something stranger and more magical.

While restlessly exploring her village on Brazil’s northwest coast, Tamara’s relationships begin to shift. She grows apart from her boyfriend Kinzão while developing an attraction for another girl, nicknamed “Heartless” for the surgical scar on her chest. Dazzling images illustrate this magical realist coming-of-age tale that touches on a young woman’s blossoming sexuality and anxious anticipation of the future. Normande and her co-director Tião elegantly weave poetic sentiments with fantastical elements to spin a strikingly poignant story of the connection between nature, sexuality, and growing up.

Lola struggles with school and driving lessons but the mental illness of her older sister Julieta presents greater challenges. Julieta consumes their parents’ time and money, leaving Lola often ignored, at constant odds with her mother, and dreaming of a different life. Maite Aguilar makes an indelible screen debut as a young woman yearning for refuge and security in this complex drama that drifts between a teen’s inherent need to embark on her own path and the difficulties her parents face in meeting the disparate needs of their daughters. Striking cinematography further enhances this vibrant coming-of-age tale, which won the Best Director and Best Screenplay prizes at Cine Ceará—Ibero-American Film Festival.

In Spanish with English subtitles. World premiere) *Q&A with director When Carla’s dad drags her to the Galápagos Islands for a convention on conservation and species evolution, she is less than thrilled. On the cusp of womanhood and grappling with the loss of her brother, Carla finds herself adrift on the historic archipelago that led to Charles Darwin’s breakthrough studies on adaptation. Befriending two young boys who become her emotional foils, Carla pretends to be a different version of herself in order to surmount this emotional and physical journey. In this stunningly lensed lyrical debut, Tania Hermida deftly toys with parables while exploring the evolving relationship between man and nature. With Terrence Malick stylings, hints of Agnès Varda observational irony, and a dash of Alice Rohrwacher magical-realism, this tender film is a celebration of the shared sentient experience—biological and emotional.

Gustavo (Esteban Bigliardi) is recently divorced and struggling with the end of his marriage, problems at his yoga studio, and an injury he is trying to treat with exercise instead of the recommended surgery. An ex-wife he is still in love with, a nagging mother who wants him to return from Chile, a student recovering from a brain injury, another student who may be a thief, and a comely pharmacist are among the characters whose lives and problems intersect in Rejtman’s surreal, absurd, and complex comedy.

In Spanish with English subtitles) *Q&A with awardee Gary Meyer and presenter Anne Thompson A village’s Day of the Dead celebration foreshadows a bewitching magical realist fable in director Roberto Gavaldón’s dreamy adaptation of a B. Traven (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre) short story set in colonial Mexico. Impoverished woodcutter Macario (Ignacio López Tarso) has never gone a day without hunger, more acute now that he has five children to feed. His wife produces a rare turkey for him and him alone to eat but when he elects to share it with a mysterious stranger, he gains the power to heal, a gift that enriches the family but also puts Macario in the murderous crosshairs of the Spanish Inquisition. Mexico’s first foreign-language film Oscar nominee, its star López Tarso won the Golden Gate Award for Best Actor when Macario screened at the 1960 Festival. Gabriel Figueroa’s (Luis Buñuel’s The Exterminating Angel) luminous black-and-white cinematography sparkles anew and astonishes in a 4K restoration. Presented as part of the SFFILM Mel Novikoff Award. For over 30 years, the SFFILM Mel Novikoff Award is given to an individual or institution whose work has enhanced the film-going public’s appreciation of world cinema.

A flirtation with a former student, Laura (Camila Hirane), brings promise for the future.

In English) “I want to remember this time, last time, and next time. I want to remember it all with no parts missing because I appreciate even the bad times.” In Laredo, a city in southern Texas on the Mexican border, best friends Silvia and Beba know that the long summer nights of their youth cannot last forever. Their hang-out spots are so familiar but, stuck in an immigration process over which deportation hangs as a constant possibility, home still seems a fragile concept. Between bars, drive-thrus, friends’ couches, and the borderlands, they confront the stresses of survival, the future, and community building. For them, this means protest action for legal abortion and against border control abuses, in a politically divided America. But the dusty half-light is also a time for poetry and dreams. Their laughter and creative expression cement a sense of solidarity and belonging in togetherness.

In English, Spanish, Italian, and French with English Subtitles) Athena’s Opening Night Film and New York Premiere! It is August 1971. Soccer teams from England, Argentina, Mexico, France, Denmark, and Italy have gathered at Mexico City's sun-drenched Azteca Stadium. The scale of the tournament is monumental: lavish sponsorship, extensive TV coverage, merchandise on every street corner, and crowds of over 100,000 roaring fans turn this historic stadium into a cauldron of noise match after match. A fawning media treat the players like rock stars. The atmosphere is reminiscent of the greatest moments in international soccer history. But this is a tournament unlike anything that's happened before. The players on the pitch are all women. And it's likely you've never even heard of it. This is Copa '71, the unofficial Women's World Cup. Dismissed by both the governing body and domestic soccer associations around the world, this event had been sidelined in history. Until now.

In English) "I say, the trip to Mars can only be understood through Black Americans /… When we go to Mars… / It's Middle Passage." Poet and activist Nikki Giovanni—witty, no-nonsense, brilliant—resists the conventional in life and art, more than ever at age 80. Promoting a new poetry collection while fighting breast cancer and reconciling with her son, Giovanni also resists the straightforward documentary probe—"I remember what is important and I make up the rest." Afro-Latina director Michèle Stephenson and Joe Brewster (American Promise) craft a rich, inventive portrait imbued with Giovanni’s poetry (voiced by Taraji P. Henson), intercut with hilariously spiky speaking gig highlights (re: her mastectomy + new hearing aid, "I took a tit off and added an ear") and archival clips, including Giovanni’s legendary 1971 conversation with James Baldwin.

In this high school reunion movie turned inside out, filmmaker Cecilia Aldarondo embarks on a fantastical quest to reconcile her tortured teen years. She ‘goes back’ in more ways than one, tracking down old foes and friends while also reenacting visceral memories of youthful humiliation and desire. Oscillating between present and past, hallucination and reality, You Were My First Boyfriend is a hybrid documentary that explores the power of adolescent fantasy, the subtle violence of cultural assimilation, and the fun house mirror of time’s passage. Perhaps we will all learn something about growing older and making peace with what haunts us.

With an unprecedented access to the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team and its archives, the fifth feature film by two-time Emmy nominated director Bernardo Ruiz offers a welcome twist to the traditional true crime film by focusing on systemic political and human rights abuses rather than on one-off tales of murder or lone serial killers, and deftly creates a direct link between state atrocities from the past and present.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Documenting the initial 12 months of Allende’s government, The First Year is a fascinating work within Patricio Guzmán’s filmography precisely for having been made prior to the coup. Produced when he was only 31 years old and newly returned to his native Chile following his studies in Madrid, it’s the film of a young man bursting with energy, creativity, and a passionate enthusiasm for the unprecedented political and social transformation taking place before his eyes: a constitutional, legal, and nonviolent Socialist revolution that would prove so threatening to the established power structure that it would soon resort to brute force to quash it. Completed while reactionary forces were mobilizing, but before the coup, The First Year is suffused with a degree of hope and possibility that, in retrospect, makes the later films all the more moving and powerful. The film was released in 1972 in Chile, as well as in France (where Chris Marker produced a French-language version), and Guzmán later incorporated parts of it into Salvador Allende (2004). But with most of the prints lost or destroyed following the coup, it’s only thanks to a difficult and time-consuming restoration project that the film is now finally available again. This overdue U.S. theatrical release provides an invaluable opportunity to witness the genesis of Guzmán’s body of work, and to gain insight into a critical period in Chilean history.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets When Patricio Guzmán began filming political unrest in the streets of Santiago in 1972, he had no idea he would capture the destruction of his country’s democracy on film. Widely considered one of the greatest documentaries of all time, parts one and two of The Battle of Chile give a real-time, on-the-ground account of the events surrounding General Augusto Pinochet’s bloody, US-backed coup. Across nine months, Guzmán captures the escalation of right-wing opposition from the polls to the streets, culminating in socialist President Salvador Allende’s last radio messages to the people of Chile and the military assault on the presidential palace.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Part three of Patricio Guzmán’s landmark documentary takes place prior to the 1973 coup d'état depicted in parts one and two. Turning his camera to the action on the ground, Guzmán focuses on the working-class Chileans who galvanize to distribute food, operate factories, and reclaim the means of production in the face of widespread factory lockouts by the bourgeoisie. In his fervent final installment—now vividly restored—Guzmán contextualizes the explosive violence of parts one and two by charting the class struggles and collective action that preceded it.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets A leftist revolutionary or a reformist democrat? A committed Marxist or a constitutionalist politician? An ethical and moral man or, as Richard Nixon called him, a “son of a bitch”? In Salvador Allende, Guzmán returns to his native country thirty years after the 1973 military coup that overthrew Chile’s Popular Unity government to examine the life of its leader, Salvador Allende, both as a politician and a man. Through archival footage and eyewitness and participant accounts, the film re-creates the military assault on the Moneda, Allende’s last radio broadcast to the people of Chile, and rare photos and footage documenting the final actions of Allende and his staff on that day, including his suicide. Guzmán's personalized voice-over commentary provides a compelling narrative thread for this political biography, one which, in his attempt to understand the impact of Allende on his own life and his nation’s political history, also serves to illuminate this controversial and inspirational public figure for an international audience.

Chile’s remote Atacama Desert, 10,000 feet above sea level, provides stunningly clear views of the heavens. But it also holds secrets from the past—preserved corpses, from pre-Columbian mummies to recent explorers, miners and disappeared political prisoners.

In pre-colonial times, the nomadic Kaweskar (or “water people”) lived and thrived in harmony with the sea; today they have all but vanished. Interviewing the last of the Kaweskar, Guzma´n chronicles the terrible devastation wrought by this almost complete genocide, discovering an unsettling parallel to the thousands who were disappeared by more recent regimes.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) “David, an experimental filmmaker, returns to Brazil for the first time in ten years when his feature film is set to premiere at a local festival. Although he has returned for work, his thoughts increasingly turn to his father, whom he hasn’t seen since he left. As news of the Covid-19 pandemic spreads and rumors of an impending lockdown intensify, David changes his ticket in hopes that the festival will eventually continue — but decisions are soon out of his control. Finding himself without a phone or a place to stay, David ends up on his father's doorstep. They begin an uncomfortable coexistence as David simultaneously tries to get to know his father and gain his interest. The old man, however, proves to be inscrutable and capricious as increasingly odd things start to happen around them. Director Guto Parente makes use of experimental footage throughout the film to convey David's mood and accentuate the twists and turns of his journey. A Strange Path is a deeply personal story about family and belonging. Ultimately, what keeps David in Brazil is more than just the pandemic. Will he get the closure he is looking for?” —Casey Baron Thursday, June 8, 8:45 PM at the AMC 19th St East 6; Friday, June 9, 9pm at the AMC 19th St East 6; Thursday, June 15, 5:15pm at the AMC 19th St East 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/01f54e48-94e1-45e6-a645-7aca3b08dae6/full_MELODY_OF_LOVE-01-Clean-16x9.jpg Events - Latin American Films at Tribeca Festival - Make it stand out MELODY OF LOVE A film by Edmundo Bejarano (Argentina/Belgium/Ethiopia/Germany, 2023, 85 min. In Englis) “Clad in slim jeans and a leather jacket, with his electric guitar strapped to his back, jazz musician Michael (Elijah Reid) cuts an effortlessly cool figure as he moves through the streets of Addis Ababa. Playing the nightclubs of his beloved city and excited by the promise of an upcoming tour, Michael is every bit the working musician. When his mother asks him to join her in Brussels, the guitarist falls into deep existential dread at the thought of leaving and becoming part of the diaspora in a continent defined by its history of white entitlement and mistreatment. Michael sets out to bid loved ones goodbye, enjoying the simple pleasures of the city one last time. He comes to find a deeper purpose and a revolutionary reason for being in this jazzy, intimate look at the emotional toll of colonialism and the forced displacement at its cruel center. Writer/director Edmundo Bejarano has crafted a richly layered, naturalistic portrait of displacement not just as a physical reality but as a historically shaped emotional space. With saturated nighttime lensing by Carlos Vargas, Melody of Love authentically captures the psychological toll of being culturally de-centered and the strategies needed to overcome it.” —Cedar Sherbert Saturday, June 10, 2:45pm at the AMC 19th St. East 6; Sunday, June 11 at 8:45pm at the AMC 19th St. 6; and Saturday, June 17, 6pm at the Village East by Angelika https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/2c12660f-e74b-42f5-9ff8-64d4ecf1e895/full_RICHELIEU-01-Clean-16x9.jpg Events - Latin American Films at Tribeca Festival - Make it stand out RICHELIU A film by Pier-Philippe Chevigny (Canada/France, 2023, 90 min. In French and Spanish with English subtitles) “Trying to get her life back on track after a breakup, Ariane moves back to her hometown and in with her mother. To save her sinking finances, she takes a job at the local corn plant as a French-to-Spanish interpreter for the seasonal migrant workers employed there. She befriends Manuel, an illiterate, naive young man who has left his small children behind in Guatemala to earn as much as he can in Canada. As Ariane begins to witness how the workers are being taken advantage of, and as the only one who seems to see them as real people, she finds it increasingly difficult to keep quiet. What unites all of them, from boss to migrant worker, is a deep desperation to keep their job, but the individual choices they make in the face of mounting pressure reveal everyone's true character. Avoiding saccharine moralization, director Pier-Philippe Chevigny manages to inject empathy into every scene. Ariane Castellanos gives a captivating performance, with tortured compassion emanating from the screen. Richelieu is an incredibly strong debut feature that examines the terrible circumstances people can live through, and the individual cost of doing the right thing.” —Frederic Boyer Thursday, June 8, 5:45pm at AMC 19th St. East 6; Friday, June 9, 6:15pm at AMC 19th St. East 6; Friday, June 16, 6:30pm at AMC 19th St. East 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/bfb336d5-2316-4270-a0b5-1024270e8aaf/full_BOCA_CHICA-02-Clean-16x9.jpg Events - Latin American Films at Tribeca Festival - Make it stand out BOCA CHICA A film by Gabriella A. Moses (Dominican Republic, 2023, 97 min.

Desi yearns to one day leave her beachside community of Boca Chica behind and achieve fame and recognition as a singer. She keeps this yearning a secret from her family, specifically the women in her life who have raised her. Her occasional confidante is her older brother, Fran, who lives a facade of his own in New York City as a struggling musician who sheepishly works as a food delivery worker. When news arrives that the siblings’ cousin, Elvis, is coming to Boca Chica to marry his wealthy, older, American fiancée, it opens up past tensions and latent trauma in their family. Meanwhile, a restless Desi meets a group of Dominican teens — also aspiring singers and rappers — that lights a spark in her artistic pursuit. Anchored by an arresting lead performance by Scarlet Camilo, Gabriella A. Moses’ feature directorial debut is an eye-catching, grounded coming-of-age drama that thoughtfully depicts a determined young girl rising above toxic and traumatic circumstances in pursuit of a musically attuned, artistically fueled future.” —Jose Rodriguez Sunday, June 11 , 2:45pm at AMC 19th St. East 6; Monday, June 12, 9:15pm at AMC 19th St. East 6; Saturday, June 17, 2:15pm at AMC 19th St. East 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/6747b9ea-a53d-419d-b880-af41d656673a/full_DE_LA_CALLE-01-Clean-16x9.jpg Events - Latin American Films at Tribeca Festival - Make it stand out DE LA CALLE De La Calle is a docu-series that takes a journey into the Latino diaspora to explore the evolution of Urbano music and cultures that ignited the musical revolution of Rap, Reggaeton, Bachata, Latin trap, Cumbia and other sounds that are influencing music and culture worldwide.

As she develops a passion for defending women in abuse cases, her dark impulses for a more dangerous means of sexual gratification awaken. Winner of Locarno’s Golden Leopard, Rule 34 is a psycho-sexual drama that provocatively explores the gray areas society deems “good” and “bad”: pleasure and pain, abuser and victim, what is punitive and what is just.

In English and Spanish with English subtitles) In this documentary within a narrative (and vice versa), grandiose filmmaker (Alex Ross Perry) arrives in the Yucatán to scout locations for his new movie, a production that will involve exposing the last extant celluloid film stock on the eve of the Mayan Apocalypse. Riffing off of Dennis Hopper’s THE LAST MOVIE, which was originally set to take place in Mexico, Mark Peranson and Raya Martin create a hypnotic meditation on the many predicted deaths of cinema which have never come to pass. As Perry wanders around tourist sights, snarkily bemoaning the superficiality of the gringos, he’s led by his friend and assistant, Lázaro Rodriguez, who seems as equally confused by this whole endeavor as he is. Using a veritable cyclone of film and video formats, genres, modes, and methods, Martin and Peranson create an unclassifiable work in La Última Película that mirrors the contortions and leaps of the medium’s history and present.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Filmed in Tondoscope, a format specifically created for this film which uses a high-sensitivity circular lens that creates a circular image with an eerily luminous quality, and often using mirrors to craft 360 degree images, Lucifer is a film of well-crafted beauty that owes a lot to renaissance painting and literature. Lucifer, Lázaro Rodriguez, passes through the earthly paradise of a village in Mexico on his downfall from Heaven to Hell. There he meets elderly Lupita and her granddaughter Maria. Lupita’s brother Emanuel pretends he’s paralyzed so he can drink and gamble while the two women tend to the sheep. Lucifer senses an opportunity and plays the miraculous healer, forcing Emanuel to walk again so as to seduce Maria and makes Lupita doubt her faith.

In Spanish with English subtitles) His real name is Oscar, but his friends call him Goliath because he is alleged to have killed his girlfriend. That is what Oscar and his little brother Nico tell an interviewer offscreen at the start of Summer of Goliath. This fifth film by Nicolás Pereda starts as a documentary, only later to change into a feature film when we see the housewife Teresa trudge across a field with a heavy suitcase. She has just been deserted by her husband, Eduardo. With an intriguing mixture of fiction and documentary, Pereda sketches a picture of a small rural town where it seems fairly common for husbands to desert their families (often to go and work in the United States), where there is little work and where soldiers stroll around and combat boredom by intimidating people. It’s a community where the outcast Oscar and a lonely Teresa have difficulty keeping their heads above water.

His mother, Teresa, worships Gabino’s older brother, Miguel, who never visits them.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Originally commissioned by the Mexican Ministry of Education, Nicolás Pereda and Gabino Rodríguez’s hypnotically mysterious hybrid object unravels and metamorphoses within the walls of a school. This oneiric journey from light to darkness is a gorgeously abstracted tale of childhood and healing. Having lost the pigment in his skin, Matias, an infirm orphan at a Michoacán primary school, has been quarantined from his classmates. Meanwhile, the presence and words of novelist Mario Bellatin offer the prospect of healing to his ailing body.

In Spanish with English subtitles) In a run-down Mexican mining town, Luisa brings her boyfriend Paco home to meet her family including her brother (Lázaro Gabino Rodriguez) and mother (Teresa Sanchez). Luisa and Paco are both actors, and the visit grows increasingly (and hilariously) awkward as Luisa’s father becomes fascinated by Paco’s minor role in a big television show. FAUNA’s exploration of performance deepens as the film reinvents itself halfway through, recasting Lázaro Rodriguez as the protagonist of a mystery plot set in a nearby roadside motel. Scenes and characters begin to repeat and revise each other’s earlier incarnations, with each actor taking on new roles.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Martina, Laia, and Anto are in a passionate, loving, playful throuple. Their relationship, replete with backyard barbeques, relentless teasing, and enough dogs to take up any of the space left in their double wide king bed, faces a test when Laia (multi-talented director Ruth Caudeli) is called away for a long-term project, and Martina (Silvia Varón) and Anto (Ana María Otálora) must temporarily reshape their own dynamic as just the two of them. As they contemplate the strength and flexibility of their love, the audience is invited into an ever-evolving romance that makes room for envy, loneliness, and deep affection to coexist without judgment. With typical attention to detail, exquisite portrait photography, and effortless chemistry, Petit Mal is frequent collaborators Caudeli (writer-director of Eva + Candela, and Leading Ladies), Varón and Otálora at their most intimate and honest. It’s a chapter of queer life and queer women’s filmmaking steeped in authenticity and introspection, blending documentary and semi-autobiographical fiction to open a window on a uniquely sweet, hopeful vision of inevitable change.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Humberto is an ex-convict with a tormented past. Three years sober, he returns home in search of a new life, but still plagued by a past tragedy. As he mulls over his future and any job prospects in front of him, a friend bluntly tells him: “A stigma is a stigma.” He now has a real chance to reconnect with his estranged daughter Aleida, but first he has to contend with his in-laws, Carlos and Elizabeth, who now look after Aleida. Carlos, a wealthy Argentinian pastor deeply connected in the Evangelical community in Bolivia, decides to take a chance on Humberto and bring him back into the church fold. As Humberto begins to attend church in order to ingratiate himself into Carlos’ network—and bond with Aleida—he pursues a few jobs in the hopes of making enough income to retrieve his daughter from the influence of Carlos and Elizabeth. What quickly transpires is an emotionally fraught ‘tug-of-war’ between Humberto and Carlos, in their pursuit of ‘saving’ and commandeering Aleida’s future. Martin Boulocq’s The Visitor is an arresting and melancholic drama with sharp socio-political insights and an impressive level of cinematic sophistication, one that deftly explores how intolerance can seep into religion and have hypnotic influence and power on vulnerable people.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Carajita opens with the haunting image of a tropical beach at night, illuminated by the flashing red and blue lights of a police car. On the edge of the lapping waves, an object lies motionless on the beach. The camera lingers long enough for the viewer’s eyes to adjust, prompting a shocking realization: The object is actually a dead body of an unnamed local. This juxtaposition of sinister mood and striking visuals runs throughout Silvia Schnicer and Ulises Porra’s sophomore feature. Carajita is a drama that plays like a psychological thriller, deriving oppressive tension from unspoken inequalities and the impunity of privilege. Cecile van Welie stars as Sarah, the pampered daughter of a corrupt oligarch whose family recently relocated to Las Terrenas.Magnolia Núñez co-stars as Yarisa, the Black Dominican domestic worker who Sarah thinks of as “part of the family.” That illusion is put to the test when Yarisa’s spirited daughter Mallory (Adelanny Padilla) goes missing, challenging Sarah’s naïve ideas about race, class, and family. Boasting intuitive storytelling and confident direction, Carajita is poised to become a haunting, lingering classic.

In Spanish with English subtitles) It should be the happiest time in Valeria’s life. She and her husband, Raul, have finally seen one of their longtime dreams come true: Valeria is pregnant. At first, everything seems perfect. Gradually, though, her mood darkens. With motherhood upon her, Valeria can't shake off heavy self-doubt and a pervasive dread, the latter stemming from visions of spider-like presences and other possibly supernatural threats, all of which may be the work of an entity known as “La Huesera.” Hoping to confront these demons, she reconnects with the old, more carefree life she once gave up for Raul, including rekindling an old flame with her first love, Octavia. The fears and anxieties that come from being a first-time mother power this poignant and creepy feature debut from Mexican filmmaker Michelle Garza Cervera, whose bold and inventive short films have made waves in the genre festival circuit for nearly a decade. Tapping into themes similar to Maggie Gyllenhaal’s recent critical darling The Lost Daughter, Huesera provides a raw and intimate look at a complex character making difficult choices, the stakes of which are intensely heightened by Garza Cervera’s proficient ability to craft unsettling imagery and nerve-rattling set-pieces that’ll make your skin crawl.

In English) In the quiet of a hot Texas day, Peter (Jacob Schatz) goes to bed with his lover. Across town, Nina (Dani Hurtado) wakes up with hers. Without a word, each couple bids a fond, lingering farewell, and Peter and Nina return to their cozy shared home. They operate comfortably in smiles and silence, moving about their day in percussive rhythms and worn-in grooves of a long-term, healthy relationship; but something in the way they communicate is noticeably lacking. Though they are on the verge of closing their open relationship, something, and someone, is missing. Co-directors’ Fernando Andrés and Tyler Rugh’s visually lyrical, intimate, and sometimes cheeky drama Three Headed Beast puts the widening chasms in our interpersonal communication on full view. With expressive performances from Hurtado and Schatz, this boldly experimental debut feature highlights what and whom we take for granted, even in relationships that intentionally step off the escalator to monogamy, marriage, and a normative life.

In English and Spanish with English subtitles) Tribeca alum Rodrigo Reyes returns with a deeply compassionate and aesthetically adventurous exploration of a young immigrant’s journey from coastal Mexico to prison in California. Reyes first met Sansón as the court interpreter at the trial in which Sansón was ultimately sentenced to life imprisonment for his role in a gang-related murder. Haunted by that initial encounter and drawn by Sansón’s earnestness and their common roots as migrants from Mexico, Reyes reached out to Sansón to explore telling his story. In addition to tracing Reyes’ evolving relationship with Sansón as a friend and a filmmaker, the film utilizes heart-wrenching recreations, with the participation of family and community members, to reflect on Sansón’s difficult upbringing, his migration to rural California, the hopeful beginnings of a family, and the circumstances that led to his incarceration. The result is a provocative meditation on poverty, migration, borders, incarceration, and the power of story to bind together fragmented lives.

In Spanish with English subtitles) An emotionally-layered ensemble drama, Mars One tells a classic story of a family in crisis. While a far-right politician takes power in Brazil, a young woman realizes she’s queer and falls in love for the first time. Her little brother has a new love as well: science. But as he looks to the stars his father tries to bring him back to Earth, pushing him into a soccer career he’s not sure he actually wants. Meanwhile, the matriarch of the family is going through her own private struggle, triggered by new trauma. But a family often needs to fall apart to find their way back together, and Mars One brings poetry to their pain. Much like the flow of life, their troubles are punctuated by moments of blissful play, music, dancing and making love. With its gorgeous cinematography and heartfelt performances, Mars One is an emotional journey through changing times.

In Spanish with English subtitles) In her opulent home in the Ecuadorian countryside, Luisa (Anahi Hoeneisen) sinks further and further into a forlorn state brought on by a bout with postpartum depression. Luisa strives to return to her notion of normalcy, taking long solitary jogs and socializing at luxurious dinner parties over a glass of wine. But dysphoric tendencies begin to take hold and create a fissure between herself and the life she once knew. In Lo Invisible, director Javier Andrade captures Hoeneisen’s magnetic performance as Luisa, articulating the new mother’s turbulent dissolution with a striking degree of restraint, while allowing a keen focus on nonverbal dialogue and quietly composed moments to speak volumes on the complexity of a frequently misunderstood and unseen crisis. Saturday, April 30, 9:15pm at the Victoria Theatre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/3f5ceba6-c80d-4515-9879-4a98e1aaf5d6/6ry7grbrpworlddramatic_MarsOne_still1-900x506.jpg Events - Cine Latino Competition at the 65th San Francisco Film Festival - Make it stand out MARS ONE (Marte Um, Gabriel Martins, Brazil, 2022, 115 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) This charming and humorous film centers on the Martin family, a dynamic unit who meet the shifting politics of modern-day Brazil with grit and determination. Featuring four vibrant characters — the matriarch Tércia, who struggles to move past a shocking experience; her husband Wellington, a man of appetites and futebol superfan, who spends his days caring for the middle class with indefatigable loyalty; their bookish son Deivinho, who obligingly absorbs his father’s athletic ambitions while harboring a secret desire to colonize Mars; and Eunice, a young woman discovering her sexual identity — this tender film is a delightful portrait of a bombastic clan who dare to dream. Tensions flare and disaster looms but this ensemble of strivers finds strength in one another. Tenderly woven together by writer-director Gabriel Martins with a keen eye for the authentic minutiae of daily life, Mars One will nourish your soul.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Facing brutality charges and overwhelmed by the demands of his dementia-stricken father, disgraced policeman Daniel (a brilliant Antonio Saboia) seeks escape from his troubles. He takes an ill-timed road trip to track down his internet love, Sara. But she is only a face or a sext on a screen and the flesh-and-blood reality shocks Daniel to his core, forcing him to confront who he really is for the first time in his life. The winner of the BNL People’s Choice Award at the Venice Film Festival, Aly Muritiba’s stunning, erotic melodrama forcefully portrays a man coming to the realization that the toxic masculinity that has long defined him is nothing but an ill-fitting mask.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Ten-year-old Lucía lives with her parents and sister at Lake Titicaca in the Bolivian mountains. When her father leaves the family to take a job in La Paz, Lucía imagines a mythical place where he awaits her arrival. Slowly, she combines memories of her absent parent with stories she hears from tourists visiting her village, whimsically changing all aspects of her life as she prepares to reunite with her father. As her scheming solidifies, she befriends a young boy to assist with her dramatic plans. With Sun & Daughter, Bolivian Italian first-time director Catalina Razzini creates a dreamy story of the power of a child’s imagination and the love between a parent and a child.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Teenage Hatzin (Hatzin Navarrete) travels through the visually stunning landscape of Chihuahua, Mexico, to collect his father’s remains but his life changes forever when he meets Mario (Hernán Mendoza), a local factory promoter. What begins as a short trip to help his grandmother becomes a dangerous journey into the shady world of industrial factories as Hatzin becomes involved with Mario’s unsavory business. Venezuelan director Lorenzo Vigas (From Afar, Festival 2016) intricately unravels this coming-of-age drama and elicits from his cast powerful, nuanced performances. The slow-burn relationship between Hatzín and Mario serves as a striking social commentary about corruption while also revealing a deeply personal family secret.

In Spanish with English subtitles) As the title suggests, this slow-burning drama depicts parallel lives and how the dynamics of money and power play out in the wake of tragedy. On an Uruguayan farm close to the Brazilian border, the owner’s son Rodrigo is put in charge of daily operations. He hires teenage tractor driver Carlos, promising sponsorship in an upcoming horse race in return for starting work immediately. Both young men are new fathers, and the film deftly explores the imbalances in the two households. When a calamity strikes, the stakes are raised and the tenuous friendship between Rodrigo and Carlos evolves into a darker portrait of rivalry and economic disparity.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Long-dead matriarch Magdalena emerges from deep in the waters of Chile’s Cruces River, seemingly called forward by Mother Nature herself. As she walks past dead fish washed up along the riverbank, it is unclear whether Magdalena’s return is a sign or a warning. At once poignant and surprising, director Francisca Alegría’s debut feature creates a stunning magical realist tale of familial legacy and loss, set against a backdrop of environmental decline. As Magdalena arrives at her family’s dairy farm and makes herself known, the frictions that tear at the family and the land she once knew become clear.

The isolated town was also the main setting for the writer’s poems. Using the pretense of a casting call, the filmmaker records first-person tales to portray the memories of different people and, through them, that of an entire town. About Everything There Is to Know is an endearing film about fortuitous encounters informed by the legacy and aura of a literary icon.

Protecting the entryway into the clinic is Rey, a Latino security guard in his late sixties who is fervent in his religious beliefs, but also deeply understands the plight of the women who arrive at the abortion clinic. Their life decisions intertwine at this abortion clinic, as they grapple with how their devotion informs their role in fighting for or against abortion rights.

After living 16 years in Brooklyn, working three-paying jobs, and sending the bulk of his earnings to his wife and children in Mexico, he's decided to return home to the family he hasn't seen in almost two decades. But when he informs them of his plans, he discovers that they've squandered the money, are deeply in debt and don’t want him to return. They need him to stay in the U.S. and continue to earn. Shot over two years in the heart of Brooklyn’s immigrant community, I’m Leaving Now is a searing and intimate portrait of one undocumented worker on the margins.

In Ayoreo and Spanish with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere Mateo Sobode Chiqueno has been using an old tape recorder to capture stories, songs, and testimonies of his ancestral culture since the seventies. As a young native Ayoreo, he was a victim of the violent uprooting perpetrated in Paraguay by white missionaries, who forced them to abandon their ancestral territory, their means of subsistence, their beliefs, and their home. The respectful and intimate gaze of Uruguayan director Arami Ullón infuses this portrait with poetry and humanity.

Before her death, Ivan’s mother spoke fondly of one particular guerrilla, an acknowledgment he and his brother struggled to understand. Retracing paths from their mother’s journal, the brothers search for her former captor, unfurling their hidden pain, and discovering what other truths must be held back for healing.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Two men from opposite sides of the world come together over a shared love of action cinema. Isaac Nabwana, a director hailed as “Africa’s Tarantino,” and Alan Hofmanis, a film programmer from New York, struck a deep friendship while making films with minimal resources in the slums of Kampala. Alan sees the genius in Isaac and is compelled to bring the world’s attention to Wakaliwood, but their “bromance” is threatened as Isaac’s star rises.

In French and Lingala with English subtitles) New York Premiere Despite the cruelty of living under Belgium’s oppressive regime in the colonial era, the Congolese maintained their sense of pride and self-expression, most notably in the form of the Congolese rumba, a blend of sounds from Cuba and the Congo’s unique musical traditions. Director Alain Brain showcases an impressive slate of musicians from the Congo and beyond, delivering a refreshingly uplifting, upbeat story of the vibrant country and the power of music to entertain and unite.

Becoming known only as “The Mole,” his work uncovering the regime’s transgressions revealed brazen acts of political violence and helped lift the wall of silence that had fallen over the nation. In this chilling investigation, director Anais Taracena weaves an intimate tale of the daring work of one of her country’s most fearless changemakers.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Part Langian conspiracy, part Chaplinesque comedy of work, and part city symphony – Alejo Moguillansky’s Castro is filled with a Nouvelle Vague-esque sense of endless playfulness and ingenuity. A mysterious man named Castro (Edgardo Castro) is wandering around Buenos Aires trying hard not to find a job (“Right now I have you, my body, and my head. If I get a job one, two, or three of those things might disappear,” he tells his girlfriend), while a gang of four comical crooks led by Castro’s ex-wife clumsily tail him. Filled with plenty of absurd comic asides (an inane secret code communicated through umbrellas, a mysterious and omnipresent upstairs neighbor who is always heard moving around the apartment, ominous job interviews that venture into the strangely personal); dusty, sun-drenched cinematography; and a silent movie worthy piano score, CASTRO is a startling and surprising debut that oozes charm.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Starting off as a docu-fiction about a film crew making a movie about Argentinian ballet before veering off into a bemusing riff on Swan Lake and eventually settling into a deadpan romantic comedy, The Parrot and the Swan is continually surprising and filled with a keen sense of fun. Dealing with a rough, hate-mail filled break-up meek sound-mixer, Parrot, finds himself falling in love with a pregnant experimental dancer, Luciana (Luciana Acuna, Moguillansky’s wife) while in the middle of filming a documentary. Boom still in hand, Parrot quits his job and pursues her from crowded, bohemian Buenos Aires flats to odd corners of provincial Argentina. While an endearing character study at heart, the film seems happiest when headed off into endless digressions like lengthy ballet rehearsals, Freudian dream analysis, and amusing sound jokes centered around Parrot’s refusal to ever put down his boom.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets They all struggle: European Filmmakers vs. South American Filmmakers; Independent Cinema vs. Cinema Funds; Wild vs. Civilisation; North vs. South; Pirates vs. Pirates; An old XIX Century Politician vs. an old XIX Century feminist Poet; Producers vs. Directors; Edgar Allen Poe vs. Robert Louis Stevenson; Long John Silver vs. Captain Smollet; Adventure vs. Money; Beauty vs. Greed; The search of truth and wisdom vs. hypocrisy and wickedness; The rich vs. the poor; Men vs. Women; Fiction vs. Facts. They all struggle, but only one wins. Commissioned by a Danish film festival as a movie about 19th century feminist poet, Victoria Benidectssen, THE GOLD BUG instead became a literal and figurative adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic adventure novel Treasure Island. Moguillansky, producer Mariano Llinas, and actors Walter Jakob and Rafael Spregelburd play themselves in the film as a group of Argentine actors who’ve chanced upon a 17th century treasure map leading to the northern Argentine province of Misiones. using the commission to make a film about Benedictsson as cover, the ensemble sets out to find the buried treasure while convincing the European producers and co-director that their real aim is to also make a biography about 19th-century Argentine political radical Leandro N. Alem, so as to avoid being neo-colonialist. Directly riffing off of the real world circumstances in which the movie itself came into being, THE GOLD BUG is a metatextual questioning of the possibility of filmmaking in a capitalist, Euro-centric film ecosystem.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Thanks to a radio contest, a girl wins four vacation days in a huge hotel in Ostende, in the Buenos Aires province. It’s the low season, and she gets to the place alone. Her boyfriend will join her a few days later. On the beach there’s plenty of sun but also too much wind; and a not very sophisticated bar with a waiter that talks too much. In this place with no obligations or big attractions apart from a windy beach nearby and the not-so-tempting ocean, the girl starts to pay attention – maybe too much, maybe not enough – to the strange behavior of an old man who’s accompanied by two young women. Flirting with both Hitchcock and Rohmer from a light, feminine perspective, Laura Citrella demonstrates the entrancing possibilities of storytelling in her first film.

Q&A with director Lucio Castro and actress Mia Maestro following End of the Century (which screens first). END OF THE CENTURY / FIN DE SIGLO A film by Lucio Castro (Argentina, 2019, 84 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) An Argentine man from New York and a Spanish man from Berlin hook up by chance while in Barcelona. What seems like a one-night encounter between two strangers (played by Juan Barberini and Ramón Pujol) becomes an epic, decades-spanning relationship, which Lucio Castro depicts in a nonlinear fashion in which time and space refuse to play by the rules. Castro’s inventive and enigmatic debut feature is consistently surprising, turning a love story into a cosmic voyage with no clear beginning or end. THE WAVES / LAS OLAS A film by Adrián Biniez (Uruguay/Argentina, 2017, 88 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) This intimate, nostalgic, and imaginative feature by Argentine-born, Uruguay-based filmmaker Adrián Biniez (Gigante, El Cinco) tells the story of Alfonso, a man in his late 30s who leaves work exhausted and goes to the beach. After diving into the water, he emerges on another shore, where younger versions of his parents await, calling for him. In this fantastic journey through different vacations of his life, chronology knows no bounds, and Alfonso encounters past girlfriends, friends from childhood, his daughter, and his loneliness.

These three highly stylized and fascinating films, from Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile, go in that same direction, challenging and revisiting traditional narratives of South American history and presenting them as political allegories of the present. REY A film by Niles Atallah (Chile/France//The Netherlands/Germany/Italy/Qatar, 2017, 91 min. In Spanish and Mapuche with English subtitles) In 1860, an adventurous French lawyer named Orélie-Antoine de Tounens tried to create an independent state for Indigenous people in Araucanía (in present-day Chile) and Patagonia (Argentina), declaring himself king. In this experimental, hallucinatory interpretation of events grounded in formal technique, history and memory swirl, reflecting the ambiguity surrounding his true identity.

In Spanish with English subtitles) During the first half of the 19th century, an unhinged, despotic militia leader roams the desolated Argentina plains, where he kills and plunders settlers in the name of uniting and purifying society. Shot in black and white, this stark, highly stylized film continues director Benjamín Naishtat's exploration of Argentina’s violent past by dramatizing an extreme and terror-ridden period in its history.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Juliana Antunes’ debut feature offers an evocative, rigorously composed glimpse at life in the favelas of Belo Horizonte. Baronesa follows friends Leidiane and Andreia as their conversation flows freely across backyards and within cramped quarters, addressing the facts of life: family, drugs, sex, death. With its almost exclusively female crew and nonprofessional cast, Baronesa is structurally simple yet multilayered in its resonance, recalling the films of Pedro Costa as it establishes Antunes as a formidable new voice in Brazilian cinema. LONG WAY HOME / TEMPORADA A film by André Novais Oliveira (Brazil, 2018, 113 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) This debut fiction film from André Novais Oliveira establishes him as a leading talent in contemporary Brazilian cinema.

At the same time, she feels she is losing touch with her husband as she waits for him to join her.

The films by these four filmmakers take a humorous and self-reflexive approach to tackle the fascination with these hegemonic narratives. BEYOND THE BEYOND / AL MÁS ALLÁ A film by Lourdes Portillo (USA/Mexico, 2008, 43 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) When a clueless filmmaker leads a fictional documentary crew through a Mexican beach town to interview local merchants and tour guides, she quickly discovers that more than information stands between her and the truth. A hybrid documentary that creatively blends reportage and narrative techniques, Al Más Allá investigates the contemporary realities of shifting global wealth and drug trafficking along the Mayan coastline of Mexico. ¡CHAPORAZZI!

In Spanish with English subtitles) An actress returns home to see her family and brings her boyfriend, an actor with a small part in a popular narco drama, and they cross paths with her estranged brother in this rural Mexican village. This trickster comedy of errors transforms into a more ominous story starring all the same actors, in different roles. Mixing realism and absurdity, it explores the unpredictability of place, culture, family, and performance. BOLIWOOD A film by Sergio Bastani (Bolivia, 2015, 8 min.

STILL BURN / ALGO QUEMA A film by Mauricio Alfredo Ovando (Bolivia, 2018, 77 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Director Mauricio Alfredo Ovando looks deeper into the image created by his grandfather, Bolivian dictator Alfredo Ovando Candía, a military general who served as co-president of Bolivia after overthrowing President Víctor Paz Estenssoro. Examining the legacy of his impact—including the military campaign in which Che Guevara was killed—the filmmaker-grandson incorporates official archival footage, home movies, and interviews with relatives, weaving his family’s perspective with harsh events in history.

In Spanish with English subtitles) This feature-length documentary from Natalia Almada, MacArthur “genius” and two-time recipient of the Sundance Documentary Directing Award, combines personal, family, and political history. As the great-granddaughter of Mexican president Plutarco Elias Calles (1924—1928), one of the country's most controversial, even brutal, revolutionary figures, Almada creates a portrait of a family and a country under the shadow of the past. She examines her ancestors' impact to explore Mexico's history and shed light on current events, highlighting discrepancies between memory and fact.

In Spanish and Zapoteco with English subtitles) In her heartfelt and powerful debut feature, Zapotec director Luna Marán encourages her father Jaime Luna (Uncle Yim), an indigenous philosopher, social leader, and singer-songwriter, to compose a new song about his life after 15 years of silence. This time, though, he does so alongside his family; their memories and interpretations are contradictory and painful. Uncle Yim is a powerful documentary that immerses us in the identity of a family shaped by tradition, music, and communality. TOTE_GRANDFATHER / TOTE_ABUELO A film by María Sojob (Mexico, 2019, 80 min. In Tzotzil and Spanish with English subtitles) In her deeply personal debut documentary feature, Tzotzil filmmaker María Sojob documents the unexpected encounter between an old man, who is going blind, and his granddaughter, who has a limited memory of her childhood. As the grandfather weaves a traditional hat, the threads of family history are untangled. Between the silences, it becomes possible to understand the meaning of love in Tzotzil. A deceptively simple film, Tote_Grandfather / Tote_abuelo is a complex portrait that contrasts the point of view of a younger generation with a traditional world that was largely marginalized.

"BICENTENARIO and the Traces of History" at Anthology Film Archives - Make it stand out BICENTENARIO A film by Pablo Alvarez-Mesa (Canada/Colombia, 2020, 42 min. In Spanish with English subtitles, 2020) On the 200th anniversary of Simón Bolívar’s liberation journey across Colombia, Bicentenario reflects on the far-reaching consequences of the Liberator’s legacy, a legacy kept alive through a wide range of intentional and unintentional rituals of remembrance. Summoning Bolivar’s spirit in the exact landscapes that witnessed the battles, Bicentenario reveals the contemporary social rituals that perpetuate the ongoing violence residing deep within the social and political unconscious. Two hundred years after his campaign, Simon Bolivar’s spirit has become a mix of political mysticism, unquestioned doctrine and enigma – or perhaps a curse that has fixed itself in the collective imaginary of an entire continent. It is this curse that Bicentenario seeks to invoke, and perhaps exorcise. Preceded by PRESIDIO MODELO (Pablo Alvarez-Mesa, 2009, 16 min.) “In this meditative essay on the infamous Cuban prison of Panopticon design, the walls in the prison crumble revealing a past that has been covered by layers of thick yellow paint. Exquisite photography and lyric narration reveal a world where pain left unvisited turns into amnesia; history cannot absolve everything.” –Big Sky Film Festival September 2 at 7pm; September 3 at 7pm; September 4 at 7pm; September 5 at 7pm; September 6 at 9pm; September 7 at 9pm; September 8 at 9pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1629499104041-2SQYOGSYPAZEF32PX6O9/Screen%2BShot%2B2017-10-16%2Bat%2B6.29.30%2BPM.png Events - "BICENTENARIO and the Traces of History" at Anthology Film Archives - Make it stand out BOLÍVAR, TROPICAL SYMPHONY / BOLÍVAR, SINFONÍA TROPIKAL A film by Diego Rísquez In Spanish with English subtitles, 1979, 75 min, Super-8mm-to-digital In the 1980s, the multifaceted Venezuelan artist, painter, and filmmaker Diego Rísquez (who passed away in January 2018) undertook the daunting project of creating a trilogy of films about the real and mythical histories of the Latin American continent. The first part of the trilogy, and Rísquez’s feature debut, was Bolívar, Tropical Symphony, which became the first Super 8 film to be selected for the Directors’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival. Rísquez here foregoes dialogue to create an unconventional and highly allusive cinematic exploration of the life and death of South America’s famed libertador, Simón Bolívar, in which two separate actors embody dueling conceptions of this historical figure.

An epic, visual meditation on the progressive history of the United States, from colonial times to the present, as seen through its cemeteries, historical plaques and markers. Making its way through 400 years of American history, Profit Motive visits the resting places of such famed figures as Malcolm X, Mother Jones, Frederick Douglass, Cesar Chavez, Susan B. Anthony, and Crazy Horse, alongside lesser known but equally important heroes and radicals, including Frank Little, Uriah Smith Stephens, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The film documents sites of pivotal struggles as well, such as King Philip’s War, the 1770 Boston Massacre, the Stono Rebellion, and the Homestead Strike. Loosely inspired by Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States,” Profit Motive and the Whispering Wind is a calm, beautiful, and wordless testament to the men and women who shaped the world we live in today.

Argentina, 2007. Argentina, 91 min. In Spanish with English subtitles, With María Villar, Romina Paula. Before he became celebrated for his contemporary reimaginings of Shakespeare’s plays—including his latest film, Isabella (in theatrical release on August 27)—the Argentine writer-director Matías Piñeiro made his feature debut with this New Wave–inspired comedy about Bohemian middle-class youth in Buenos Aires, an enchanting story of fickle friendships and fleeting romances, of purloined museum artifacts and the texts and deeds of the 19th-century historical figure Domingo Augusto Sarmiento brought mysteriously to life. Shot in grainy, almost fugitive 16mm black and white, The Stolen Man wears its literary and cinematic references lightly, announcing the arrival of a filmmaker who playfully interweaves games of the mind and heart, the literary and the performative, and the authentic and the counterfeit.

Chile, 2012, 96 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. With Santi Ahumada, Francisco Pérez-Bannen, Paola Giannini. Winner of top prizes at Rotterdam, IndieLisboa, and New Horizons in Poland, Thursday Till Sunday, the debut feature of Dominga Sotomayor (Too Late to Die Young)—now considered one of the leading lights of contemporary Chilean cinema—is an exquisitely close study of Lucia, an 11-year-old girl buffeted by her parents’ marital tensions, recriminations, and bitter regrets and by a countervailing sense of her own inchoate desires and yearning for freedom. During their family road trip, as Lucia homes in on gestures and offhand remarks that seem pregnant with meaning, Barbara Álvarez’s camera rarely strays from her eagle-eyed point of view. (Álvarez’s gift for claustrophobic cinematography, in this case on Super 16, is also evident in Federico Veiroj’s Acne and Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll’s 25 Watts—both in this series—as well as Lucrecia Martel’s The Headless Woman.)

A pioneering figure in the New Argentine Cinema of the early 1990s, Martín Rejtman achieved a cult following with his debut film Rapado—the droll portrait of a world-weary teenager who roams Buenos Aires in search of his stolen motorbike—even before Lucrecia Martel, Pablo Trapero, and Lisandro Alonso arrived on the scene. With its favoring of comic haplessness and happenstance over overwrought and overwritten melodrama (think Howard Hawks rather than Stanley Kramer), Rapado both saved Latin American cinema from its worst excesses and helped define the devil-may-care attitude of Cinema Tropical’s earliest years. “You could draw comparisons to Jim Jarmusch’s ironic detachment or the spare precision of the Taiwanese New Wave that Rejtman usually cites as an inspiration. But if Rapado feels more familiar than when it first appeared, that’s perhaps due to the indie films that came out over the rest of the decade” (Quintín, Film Comment).

Mexico, 2011, 100 min. In Spanish with English subtitles “One of the most impressive debuts by a Mexican filmmaker since Carlos Reygadas’ Japón” (Robert Koehler, Variety), The Tiniest Place is a powerful, lyrical choral story of resilience and rebirth. This landmark documentary film tells the story of Cinquera—a town in El Salvador nestled in the mountains that was decimated during the country’s bloody 12-year civil war—and the survivors who return to repopulate the town years later. Masterfully constructed using the oral testimony of a number of villagers and with magnificent cinematography by Ernesto Pardo, Tatiana Huezo’s (Tempestad) inspiring and compelling film has influenced many filmmakers across Latin America, establishing her as one of the most important directors of her generation.

Uruguay, 2011, 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. With Daniel Hendler, Jorge Temponi, Alfonso Tort. This year marks the 20th anniversary of this wry, fresh, and funny slacker comedy, shot in black and white in Montevideo, in which three friends, Javi, Seba, and Leche, spend the day wandering around the neighborhood with nothing to do but drink beer, smoke, talk about girls, and interact with picturesque characters. Winner of the Tiger Award at the Rotterdam Film Festival, 25 Watts consolidated Uruguay’s influential role in the revitalization of Latin American cinema of the new century, initiating a prolific and exciting period for young local filmmakers, and launching the careers of many key filmmakers, including the directorial duo Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll (Whisky), producer Fernando Epstein (Monos), and cinematographer Bárbara Álvarez (The Headless Woman).

Cuba/France/Panama, 2012, 80 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. With Yuliet Cruz, Armando Miguel Gómez, Luis Antonio Gotti. When the town sugar mill is shut down, a young couple, Aldo and Mónica, are pushed to the point of desperation as they struggle to preserve their personal passions and principles. While this could have become an overwrought drama, Carlos Lechuga’s debut film defies its title by being neither sickly sweet nor oppressively dark, instead offering sharply drawn characters, a subtle wit, and an understated, sensitive style.

Argentina, 2001, 75 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. With Misael Saavedra, Humberto Estrada, Rafael Estrada. Lisandro Alonso (Liverpool, Jauja) upended expectations from the very start, opening La libertad—and launching his successful career—with a techno-beat credit sequence that seemed to offer the promise of something adrenaline-fueled but instead segues to something far more inquisitive, instinctual, and sensuous than any conventional movie would dare essay: a meditation, through a series of exquisite long takes, on the nature of man and on man in nature. With patient observation and sly bits of staging, Alonso’s portrait of Misael Saavedra, a self-reliant woodcutter who lives in and off the rugged Argentine Pampa, embodies an almost 19th-century Transcendentalist ideal of freedom, honest labor, and the ethical, well-lived life.

In Spanish with English subtitles. With Cirilo Recio Dávila, Claudia Orozco, Martha Preciado. Violence as a shock to the system, whether familial or societal, is a throughline in much contemporary Mexican cinema, though it is rarely depicted with such intimate ferocity as in Heli, for which Amat Escalante won Best Director at Cannes in 2013. A different sort of violence, more habitual and domestic, underlies Escalante’s debut slow-burn drama Sangre, which premiered at Cannes and then in New Directors/New Films 2006. Shot in widescreen with nonprofessional actors, the film observes the joyless marriage of Diego, a paunchy doorman who counts visitors at a municipal building, and his younger wife Blanca, who works at a sushi restaurant, as their familiar routine—argue, watch telenovelas, have sex, argue, have sex—is upset by the sudden and desperate arrival of Diego’s daughter from a previous marriage.

Uruguay/Argentina/Spain/Mexico/USA, 2008, 97 min. In Spanish, Hebrew with English subtitles. With Alejandro Tocar, Ana Julia Catalá, Gustavo Melnik. Who but a doting mother could love Rafi, an awkward, pimply Jewish teen from upper-middle-class Montevideo? While Rafi’s closest friends desperately crave a chance at any sort of venial sin—smoking, drinking, gambling, a good first lay—the proscribed rituals of movie adolescence do little to satisfy Rafi’s longing for a real kiss. Therein lies the bittersweet comedy of Federico Veiroj’s debut film, and the light touch and emotional depth he would bring to later award-winning films like A Useful Life, Belmonte, The Apostate, and The Moneychanger.

Costa Rica/France/Spain/Netherlands/Mexico, 2010, 83 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. With Monserrat Fernández, Lil Quesada Morúa, Luis Carlos Bogantes. Winner of the Tiger Award at the Rotterdam Film Festival, a milestone achievement for Central American cinema at the time, Paz Fábrega’s first film follows Mariana and Rodrigo, a young and affluent couple from San José, Costa Rica, who are spending their New Year’s vacation on the Pacific coast, when they find seven-year-old Karina, who has run away from her family. This random encounter will provoke anxiety for Mariana, particularly after the girl disappears the following morning after telling them of having been a victim of family abuse. Handsomely lensed by Uruguayan cinematographer María Secco and elegantly directed, Fábrega’s understated, fascinating work earned her international acclaim and opened exciting possibilities for Central American cinema.

Argentina, 2002, 80 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. An overlooked gem, Balnearios is an infectiously demented ode to Argentine turn-of-the-century bathing resorts and to the lifestyles of the indolent. Mariano Llinás’s mock-serious tone belies his dead-serious fascination with the myriad forms and mysteries of storytelling, his documentary (hybrid? sendup?) paving the way for his even more ambitious genre mashups in Extraordinary Stories (2014) and La Flor (2016). ”The idea of modern pagan cities given to the worship of the sea may be thought of as a strange, fascinating phenomenon. This film is the result of such fascination” (Llinás).

Screenplay by Alberdi, Sebastián Brahm. Chile, 2011, 64 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. A deceptively simple and fascinating study on social behavior, this debut feature by the recent Academy Award–nominated Chilean documentarian Maite Alberdi (The Mole Agent) follows Mauricio, a lifeguard with a deep tan and dreadlocks who, paradoxically, tries to steer clear of the water. Justifying his rigid work philosophy, he preaches that prevention is the best way to prevent drowning. Yet the crowds of tourists that flock to the Chilean beaches during the summer season, and Mauricio’s coworkers, don’t want to deal with his attitude and arrogance. From her very first film, Alberdi creates truer-than-fiction characters from her documentary subjects, using cinéma vérité narratives and humor as ingenious tools for poignant social commentary. Winner of the Cinema Tropical Award for best Latin American documentary, The Lifeguard heralded the arrival of an exciting and unique voice in world documentary cinema.

Brazil, 2012, 58 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles. With Renata Cabral, Luísa Horta, Ana Carolina Oliveira. Even before the international success of Araby, co-directed with João Dumans, Affonso Uchôa found poetry and politics in the overlooked lives of marginal Brazilian people. His Afternoon Woman is a painterly, formalist portrait of three seemingly ordinary women living in a seemingly ordinary home in downtown Belo Horizonte. Inspired by Michelangelo Antonioni’s Red Desert, Gus Van Sant’s Last Days, Júlio Bressane’s Filme de amor, and Sergei Parajanov’s The Color of Pomegranates, the filmmaker betrays a fascination with the intricate interplay of meaningful gestures and decisive moments in shaping a sense of self and creating a kind of cinematic reality.

Dominican Republic/Mexico/USA, 2015, 65 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. With Judit Gómez, Priscilla Lazaro, Cristina Kahlo. In his auspicious debut fiction film, Dominican filmmaker Nelson Carlo de los Santos (Cocote) cleverly extrapolates from Chilean author Roberto Bolaño’s unfinished, posthumously published novel 2666 to explore a multiplicity of perspectives and voices in a town riven by bloodshed. In the fictional Mexican border town of Santa Teresa (a stand-in for Ciudad Juárez), the researcher Juan de Dios Martínez straddles the line between journalism and detective work, investigating a handful of crimes and abuses perpetrated on women and workers of the zone. Deftly mixing fiction, nonfiction, and essay, Santa Teresa and Other Stories is a lyrical, experimental take on the humanitarian crisis in Mexico brought on by the drug wars.

Brazil, 2018, 113 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles. With Grace Passô, Russo Apr, Rejane Faria. The everyday takes on a profound and touching resonance in André Novais Oliveira’s debut fiction film. Juliana (an excellent Grace Passô) moves from her Brazilian hometown of Itaúnas to the larger and more sprawling Contagem to take a job in a public-health program combating the spread of dengue fever. While waiting for her husband to join her, she sets about making the rounds, inspecting people’s homes for mosquito hiding places and becoming acquainted with a new cast of characters who will lead her to look beyond her past and toward an uncertain future. A deft, deeply felt character study, Long Way Home establishes Oliveira as a great emerging talent of contemporary Brazilian cinema.

Together with his relative contemporaries Lisandro Alonso in Argentina, Pedro Costa in Portugal, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul in Thailand, the Mexican-Canadian filmmaker Nicolás Pereda imbues the lives of the working poor with dignity, complexity, and resigned humor, making the marginal central to our attention through his use of fragmentary narratives, oblique angles, near-wordless communication, anti-psychology, and a destabilizing interplay between neorealist “truth” (nonprofessional actors, indigenous locations) and staged “fiction.” In Where Are Their Stories?, about a familial conflict over land, Pereda introduces Teresa Sánchez and Gabino Rodríguez, actors who would continue to play mother and son in very different guises in subsequent films like Together, Perpetuum Mobile, Summer of Goliath, and Greatest Hits.

Argentina/Canada/Uruguay/Spain, 2006, 109 min. In Spanish; English subtitles.With Pablo Riera, Martín Adjemián, María Sofía Dabarca. Desperate and unfortunate, lazy and hesitant, 25-year-old David has failed as a student and lost the scholarship that financially supported him in the capital city. Now he must pass an exam that will take place in a year if he wants this grant to continue. In order to prepare, he has come to live at La Pedrera, a small beach town where his father has given him the mission of building a house during the winter. Manuel Nieto Zas’s confident debut feature is the story of the construction as well as David's tragicomic fight to survive in a world where there are as many dogs as men, and few women, and where no one wants to work.

Argentina/France/Germany/Qatar/Uruguay, 2014, 79 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. With Jonathan Da Rosa, Tatiana Giménez, Mirella Pascual, Claudia Cantero, Francisco Lumerman. In his three feature films, director Benjamín Naishtat (The Movement, Rojo) has brilliantly explored political notions of fear and social decay in different moments of Argentine history. In History of Fear, his enigmatic and unsettling debut feature set in the present-day Buenos Aires suburbs, social order is brought to the brink of collapse when a heat wave grips the city. The film’s characters form a choral narrative, each one belonging to a different social class and forced to confront their own motives, instincts, and fears as uncanny things start to happen. With assured directing, strong cinematic elements, and a knockout cast, Naishtat delivered a powerful sociological thriller that unmistakably established him as a filmmaker to watch.

Screenplay by Lolli, Catherine Paillé, Virginie Legeay. Colombia/France, 2014, 86 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. With Carlos Fernando Pérez, Alejandra Borrero, Santiago Martínez. Class struggle is a recurring trope of Latin American cinema, yet Franco Lolli’s nuanced and elegant direction brings complexity and insight to economic strife in this engrossing and naturalistic coming-of-age drama set in Bogotá. Gente de bien, which literally means “people of goodness” but is also slang for “the well off,” follows Eric, a 10-year-old boy (the nonprofessional Brayan Santamaría, in a wonderful performance) who is sent with his dog Lupe to live with his impoverished father, whom he barely knows. When his father’s boss, a woman of great privilege, decides with the best of intentions to take the boy under her wing, it causes awkward conflicts in the family.

Screenplay by Silva, Pedro Peirano. Chile, 2007, 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. With Gabriel Díaz, Diego Muñoz, Claudia Celedón. Sebastián Silva catapulted to international attention after winning the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance for his second film, The Maid, going on to make Crystal Fairy, Magic Magic, and Nasty Baby. Yet somehow his debut feature, Life Kills Me, has never sufficiently gotten its due. Mixing eroticism, despair, absurdist gallows humor, and sudden bursts of fantasy, it’s the story of a no-budget cinematographer, trailed by death and misfortune, whose life is reawakened by the grotesque macabre pleasures of a newfound friend.

'A Celebration of Latin American Cinema' at Sag Harbor Cinema - Make it stand out AMORES PERROS A film by Alejandro González Iñárritu (Mexico, 2000, 155 min. in Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets González Iñárritu’s breakout debut film, Amores Perros, tells the intersecting stories of a Mexico City car crash. The violent and emotional lives of three strangers are forever altered by the seemingly inconsequential destiny of a dog named Cofi. Featuring the distinct directorial style and ambitious multi-strand storytelling of Iñárritu, Amores Perros explores the brutality and interconnectedness of the human condition. “Very few films create, as this one succeeds in doing, a fresh and individual sense of a complete world, and allow us to experience this sense as if it were our own.” – The New York Review of Books Saturday June 19, 12:45pm and Sunday June 20, 6:45pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1624023329889-Y1MGQFRPOC0DT9INFWVW/La-Cienaga-1600x900-c-default-1.jpg Events - 'A Celebration of Latin American Cinema' at Sag Harbor Cinema - Make it stand out LA CIÉNAGA A film by Lucrecia Martel (Argentina, 2001, 103 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets The release of Lucrecia Martel’s La Ciénaga heralded the arrival of an astonishingly vital and original voice in Argentine cinema. With a radical and disturbing take on narrative, beautiful cinematography, and a highly sophisticated use of on- and off-screen sound, Martel turns her tale of a dissolute bourgeois extended family, whiling away the hours of one sweaty, sticky summer, into a cinematic marvel. This visceral take on class, nature, sexuality, and the ways that political turmoil and social stagnation can manifest in human relationships is a drama of extraordinary tactility, and one of the great contemporary film debuts. “Lucrecia Martel's La Ciénaga is a veritable Chekhov tragicomedy of provincial life. Making a brilliant debut, Martel constructs her narrative from quotidian incidents, myriad comings and goings, and a cacophony of voices competing for attention...[i]n a debut feature that's assured in every aspect, Martel's direction of the younger members of her cast is particularly notable.” – The Village Voice Friday, June 18 at 9:45pm and Saturday, June, 19 at 4pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1624024016584-A8YLAOS0JC4B9DUD8Y4G/ema01.jpg Events - 'A Celebration of Latin American Cinema' at Sag Harbor Cinema - Make it stand out EMA A film by Pablo Larraín (Chile, 2019, 107 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets A standout of recent Latin American cinema by the Chilean director of Jackie, this Valparaiso melodrama pulsates with Reggaeton and stars Gael Garcia Bernal, revelatory as a choreographer, and Mariana Di Girolamo, as his muse and estranged wife. Ema will be released in August by Music Box. “Completely fresh and challenging, a coolly abstract vision of the modern family that pays subtle lip service to the film noir tradition.” - Little White Lies Saturday, June 19 at 7pm and Sunday, June 20 at 4pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1624022749458-JY6FO2953NDGYO9YNV9R/El-Planeta-1611183003.jpg Events - 'A Celebration of Latin American Cinema' at Sag Harbor Cinema - Make it stand out EL PLANETA A film by Amalia Ulman (USA, 2021, 79 min. In English and Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Forced to return home after the death of her father, a daughter reconnects with her eccentric mother, hustling to maintain the semblance of their middle-class lifestyle in the face of an impending eviction. Over the course of the week, we watch as the daughter's hopes are tested as she attempts to use her sexuality as a means of escape. Meanwhile, the mother grifts her way into definite security – the care of a jail cell. Written and directed by Argentinian/Spanish visual artist Amalia Ulman, who also stars in this elegant, devastating dark comedy that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival 2021. It will be released this upcoming fall by Utopia. Fellow filmmaker/artist, Miranda July, says of El Planeta: “from the very first scene, my heart started to pound with that feeling of discovery . . . a brand new, totally modern, cinematic voice.” Frday, June 18 - Tuesday, June 22 *Q&A with director Amalia Ulman at the 7:30pm screening on 6/18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1624022831129-N7VIVYOFL0ILB87M5TFV/010690_1280x720_836473_086.jpg Events - 'A Celebration of Latin American Cinema' at Sag Harbor Cinema - Make it stand out AQUARIUS A film by Kleber Mendonça Filho (Brazil, 2016; 146 mins, in Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Embracing the complexities of its 65-year-old protagonist, Aquarius tells the story of a woman who refuses to leave her apartment, even after all the apartments around her are sold to developers. The retired music critic and cancer survivor becomes a symbol of strength and vitality, never giving up her zestful nature. Paralleling the real life politics of Brazil, the film meditates on the connection between physical space and identity. “An extraordinarily fine film, Ms. Braga is superb as the strong-willed cancer survivor who won't back down under pressure from a construction company who wants her out of her apartment.” – The Guardian Friday, June 18 at 4pm and Sunday, June 20 at 12:45pm https://www.cinematropical.com/new-events/mexico-on-the-hudson-panel monthly 0.5 2021-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1623813784622-IRRI280YFYDZ1O085F7D/En-el-Se%CC%81ptimo-Di%CC%81a-1-.jpg Events -

BAJO FUEGO and FORGET ME NOT at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival - Make it stand out BAJO FUEGO / UNDER SIEGE (Sjoerd van Grootheest and Irene Vélez-Torres, Colombia, 2020, 85 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) In November 2016, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the office of President Juan Manuel Santos signed the Colombian peace deal. Many hoped this would mark an end to 52 years of armed conflict. For farmers in the coca-growing region of Cauca however, this “peace” has proven to be short-lived. Bajo Fuego follows “cocaleros” as they mobilize to protect their livelihoods after the government instructs them to destroy their crops as part of the “war on drugs.” As new armed groups arise, the promised peace turns out to be an illusion for these farmers whose lives are threatened and who are displaced from their homes. Bajo Fuego exposes the lived reality behind the politics, that has left many Colombians in a continued state of war.

In English) As 3-year-old Emilio is ready to start school, his family finds itself cornered in the United States’ most segregated education system - New York City public schools. Fighting for their son’s right to an inclusive education – where Emilio and other children with disabilities would be taught alongside their classmates without disabilities - film director Olivier and his wife Hilda investigate the personal stories of students and their parents in the US. With children with disabilities worldwide less likely to attend school, these experiences expose just a handful of the widespread injustices currently taking place in the educational system and beyond for kids with disabilities. Forget Me Not reveals a path to a more inclusive society that starts with welcoming diversity in the classroom.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets The class struggle permeates every time period, and in each political and social era it is reconfigured in new ways—though never not cruelly. This reality is at the root of All of the Dead Ones, which had its world premiere in the official competition of the 2020 Berlinale. In this impressive film, Marco Dutra (Good Manners) and Caetano Gotardo (The Moving Creatures) join creative forces to offer a strong female-driven historical drama, which unfolds at the edges of the stories of two clans: a white aristocratic family and a formerly enslaved Black family. The film makes clear how the abolition of slavery has not meant the destruction of racism and social discrimination. The past never ends—it always catches up to us, no matter where we are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615745899445-WRVN5BHJ1BF6X0411AYK/Unknown.jpg Events - 6th Annual Edition of Neighboring Scenes: New Latin American Cinema Cinema Tropical 20th Anniversary screening: SILVIA PRIETO A film by Martín Rejtman (Argentina, 1999, 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Silvia Prieto sells soap to passersby in busy city squares, pores over phone books to find women who share her name, and refuses to settle down with either of the two boyish men in her orbit. Rejtman’s radiant second feature, which follows Silvia (played by the singer Rosario Bléfari) for a short stretch of her life in Buenos Aires, is a comedy of details—like the statue that supposedly resembles Silvia and passes from owner to owner; the blazer Silvia permanently borrows from a wealthy male admirer; the chicken she buys every night—and occasional, quiet epiphanies. Silvia Prieto is one of the jewels of recent Argentine cinema, and one of Rejtman’s most perfectly realized films. 20th anniversary restoration undertaken by Museo del Cine in collaboration with EYE Filmmuseum. Restored by Museo del Cine de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires and Constanza Sanz Palacios, in collaboration with Eye Institute Amsterdam, and supported by Mecenazgo de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615745929951-MN1X6LI0KQIC7OVG22D1/1324705_oneinathousand_121915.jpg Events - 6th Annual Edition of Neighboring Scenes: New Latin American Cinema ONE IN A THOUSAND / LAS MIL Y UNA A film by Clarisa Navas (Argentina/Germany, 2020, 120 min.

Ana Elena Tejera’s poetic debut feature moves freely between fiction and documentary, as a story about myths, rituals, memory, and identity unfolds.

As it meticulously revisits the experiences of Estebita, Miguel, and Alberto, three former Cuban soldiers who fought in Africa, that faith in certain ideals that have endured across decades and in spite of reality comes under examination. Premiered at the Forum section of the 2020 Berlinale, this second film from Gutiérrez (Hotel Nueva Isla) depicts the three veterans re-enacting war games and playing out the theatricality of past glories in the jungles of Cuba’s Sierra Maestra. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615746081907-KR7F9M4FXBOF7R26ZPEC/CHACO%2B-%2BMurillo%2BCine_24.jpg Events - 6th Annual Edition of Neighboring Scenes: New Latin American Cinema CHACO A film by Diego Mondaca (Bolivia/Argentina, 2020, 77 min.

This modern reality of non-stop work has resulted in an unexpected phenomenon: the flourishing of 24-hour daycare centers. Through the Night is a verité documentary that explores the personal cost of our modern economy through the stories of two working mothers and a childcare provider—whose lives intersect at a 24-hour daycare center. The film follows a mother who works the overnight shift at a hospital; another holding down three jobs to support her family; and a woman who for two decades has cared for children of parents with nowhere else to turn. Over the span of two years, across working holidays, seven-day work weeks, and around-the-clock shifts, the film reveals the personal cost of rising wealth inequality in the U.S and the close bonds forged between parents, children, and caregivers.

In English and French with English subtitles) Buy Tickets The Black Mozart in Cuba is the latest act in the rehabilitation of the memory of this extraordinary human being. The film skillfully combines biographical information with performances of his works. Born in Guadeloupe of a Senegalese enslaved woman and a French nobleman, Joseph Boulogne, Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745-1799), became one of the most remarkable figures of the 18th century. He influenced the music and political life of his time. He was a genius composer and conductor, a virtuoso violinist, the best fencer in Europe, as well as the first black general in the French army. For 200 years after his death his music was rarely heard, due in part to Napoleon’s efforts to erase his existence from history. Today, his music is being rediscovered and played by orchestras and music groups around the world. In this documentary, Cuba dedicates a week of cultural activities to his memory and welcomes Saint Georges as “a great hero of the Caribbean.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1612800710253-UPXD82LV3XTAQMSCZ8LK/unnamed.jpg Events - Latin American Films at the ADIFF Black History Month Film Series JACQUES ROUMAIN: PASSION FOR A COUNTRY (Arnold Antonin, Haiti, 2008, 111 min.

Yet, since its inception, theorists have sidelined the fundamental contribution of Afro-Andalusians to this art form. Commercial exploitation of the American colonies brought hundreds of Africans to Spain to be sold as slaves, forming a population which, over time, managed to gain space in a society wrought with racial prejudices. Music and dance were a fundamental part of their expression and the most important affirmation of their identity. As the black population began to disappear from Spain in the late 19th century, so too did their contribution to this extraordinary art form.

In Mazatec, Mixtec, and Spanish with English subtitles) Adela and Marcelino share an isolation that is common among many native speakers of indigenous languages in Mexico. Processed without an interpreter before the Mexican justice system, both are serving sentences for crimes they didn’t commit: Adela, unjustly incarcerated for nine years for the murder of her brother-in-law, and Marcelino, serving thirty years for a homicide he had no part in. In their respective languages of Mazatec and Mixtec, they finally tell the stories the judges never heard: violence at the hands of corrupt police officers, forced confessions, and the signing of untranslated documents. Movingly illustrated through meditative and symbolic visuals, their two voices meld to express a mutual disorientation, to tell stories of their lands and loved ones, and to demand equal representation in the fight against injustice and exclusions in the legal system.

A film by Adriana Otero and Robin Canul (Mexico, 2019, 67 min.

Following community organizers Gustavo Huchin and Leydi Pech in their fight against government authorities and Monsanto, the film explores the ways in which the planting of monocultures threatens the health and environment of Mayan beekeeping communities in the southeast of the country. More than just protect the bees, they’re fighting to safeguard their land from massive deforestation, groundwater table pollution and climate change. What Happened to the Bees? is a powerful investigation of the overlapping socio-environmental conflicts currently taking place in indigenous Mexican territories.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets After her husband dies unexpectedly, meek 70-year-old Claudina (Rosa Ramírez) makes the journey to her daughter and grandson’s house in Lautaro, Chile. While she certainly doesn’t expect much from rooming in a house somewhat hostile to her presence, a budding romance with Elsa (Romana Satt), the married next-door neighbor who moonlights as a gay lounge singer, is one of the unexpected surprises that line her new path. As she remembers her past loves and forges new clandestine friendships with the young conspirators in her life, Claudina finds, at last, a new purpose. Director Nicol Ruiz brings her hometown to life in this delicate, young-at-heart romance, depicting Lauturo through its colorful corner stores, gossiping wives, and bordering-on-religious obsession with the UFOs that only come out by night. Ruiz’s tender eye, and Ramírez’s moving performance, make this delightfully and earnestly unconventional narrative an unmissable cinematic oddity that’s sure to charm. This film will be followed by a Q&A. Presented in partnership with Cinema Tropical. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1602192124594-B0VLMWWIQG29SA3NLMSG/image.jpg Events - Latin American Films at NewFest ALICE JÚNIOR (Gil Baroni, Brazil, 2019, 87 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Winner of the top prize at Mix Brasil, this one-of-a-kind charmer infuses the spirit of classic high school films such as Mean Girls and The Perks of Being a Wallflower with an electricity that will leave you buzzing with warmth and energy. Forced to leave the coastal city of Recife when her father gets a job in a small conservative town in the South of Brazil, transgender teenage social media star Alice Júnior's life is suddenly thrust into uncertainty and drab dread. Although she's far out of her comfort zone and facing the kind of resistance she never could have imagined, Alice is determined to take on Catholic school (and its uniform) with verve and wit and make the most of her new setting, religious classmates, and budding crushes. In her very first acting role, Anne Celestino Mota infuses Alice with an infectious relatability, inspiring confidence, and nuanced charm that demands great attention and suggests a bright future for the young actress. Powered by a spirited style rife with color, kitsch, and creativity, Alice Júnior is a celebration of rebellious youth and the potential for future generations to rethink outdated perspectives of gender, sexuality, and differences as a whole. This film will be followed by a Q&A. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1602192152749-A1LI2QCC60A5X6X39WLF/image-asset.jpeg Events - Latin American Films at NewFest YOUR MOTHER’S COMFORT / ACONCHEGO DA TUA MÃE (Adam Golub, Brazil, USA, 2020, 75 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets “Ele não - not him”. That’s one thing of which Indianara Siqueira, a trans sex worker and founder/mother of the lifesaving communal LGBT Casa Nem in Rio de Janeiro, is certain. No to the potential election of an authoritarian, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, racist, and science-denying regime of "Brazilian Trump" Jair Bolsonaro. In this essential and up-close documentary, award-winning NewFest alum Adam Golub (SKIN) follows Indianara's relentless organizing leading up to one of the most turbulent times in recent global memory. From her historic run for City Council (alongside the late, revered Marielle Franco), to her continuous fight to keep the trans sex workers of Casa Nem safe and housed, Indianara is a force of radical change. Unapologetically honest, thrilling, and personal, this Outfest Grand Jury Prize Winner for Best Documentary is best watched as an internationally-prescient anti-facist instruction manual in which the only acceptable end goal is freedom for all. The film will be followed by a Q&A. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1602192185583-BPLOANLUU0541UTPYDU6/image-asset.jpeg Events - Latin American Films at NewFest DRY WIND / VENTO SECO (Daniel Nolasco, Brazil, 2020, 110 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Fantastical sexual exploits that infuse hardcore reveries with surprising tenderness help lonely factory worker Sandro (Leandro Faria Lelo) pass the long days and scorching heat of inland Brazil’s dry summer season in writer-director Daniel Nolasco pulsating, neon-infused Tom of Finland-come-to-life wonderland of a film. Despite a meaningful friendship with a sharply observant colleague and an occasional lunchtime hook-up with a gorgeous young co-worker, Sandro longs for something more. When the leather-clad, muscle-bound Maicon (Rafael Theophilo) rolls into town, Sandro’s passion is inflamed, and takes him to places he’d only previously dared imagine. Exploring the fine line between innocent admiration and all-consuming desire, the film beckons viewers to dream just a little harder. This film contains sexually explicit content. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1602192371232-HUCZYF9KCHINMND8F8AV/image-asset.jpeg Events - Latin American Films at NewFest THE STRONG ONES / LOS FUERTES (Omar Zúñiga Hidalgo, Chile, 2019, 98 min.

The Strong Ones tells the romantic saga of a fisherman and an architect in the beautiful landscape of Southern Chile as they find love at the edge of the world. This confidently directed festival favorite, which took home both the Audience Award and Grand Jury Prize at Outfest, spotlights the searing sexiness and electric chemistry of the two charismatic leads (Samuel González and Antonio Altamirano), while impressive cinematography highlights the majestic landscapes.

ZAMA (Lucrecia Martel, Argentina/Brazil/Spain, 2017, 115 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Zama, an officer of the Spanish Crown born in South America, waits for a letter from the King granting him a transfer from the town in which he is stagnating, to a better place. His situation is delicate. He must ensure that nothing overshadows his transfer. He is forced to accept submissively every task entrusted to him by successive Governors who come and go as he stays behind. The years go by and the letter from the King never arrives. When Zama notices everything is lost, he joins a party of soldiers that go after a dangerous bandit. “Beautiful, hypnotic, mysterious and elliptical” —Manohla Dargis, The New York Times Available for streaming on: YouTube, Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, Apple TV, Vimeo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1584819302758-TJBGD18U32VQ0K5ABTZ3/image-asset.jpeg Events - Stream Cinema Tropical's 25 Best Latin American Films of the Decade 2. LA FLOR (Mariano Llinás, Argentina, 2018, 803 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) A decade in the making, Mariano Llinás’s La Flor is an unrepeatable labor of love and madness that redefines the concept of binge viewing. The director himself shows up at the start to preview the six episodes that await, each starring the same four remarkable actresses: Elisa Carricajo, Valeria Correa, Pilar Gamboa, and Laura Paredes. Overflowing with nested subplots and whiplash digressions, La Flor shape-shifts from a B-movie to a musical to a spy thriller to a category-defying metafiction—all of them without endings—to a remake of a very well-known French classic and, finally, to an enigmatic period piece that lacks a beginning (granted, all notions of beginnings and endings become fuzzy after 14 hours). An adventure in scale and duration, La Flor is a wildly entertaining exploration of the possibilities of fiction that lands somewhere close to its outer limits. “An astonishment... a dazzling collision of stories and genres, flashbacks and voiceovers, games and riddles… extraordinary... sweeping and addictive… the definition of a must-see.” — Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times "The Best Film of the Year! For nearly fourteen hours, this protean magnum opus, held together by an extraordinary quartet of actresses, immerses us in the pleasures of densely detailed fiction." — Melissa Anderson, Artforum Available for streaming on: Grasshopper Films https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1584820725442-IOHRSDHOS9JD4QWMR8V6/embrace-of-the-serpant.jpg Events - Stream Cinema Tropical's 25 Best Latin American Films of the Decade 3. EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT / EL ABRAZO DE LA SERPIENTE (Ciro Guerra, Colombia/Venezuela/Argentina, 2015, 125 min. In Spanish, Portuguese, Cubeo, Huitoto, Ticuna, Wanano, German, Catalan, Latin, and English with English subtitles) At once blistering and poetic, the ravages of colonialism cast a dark shadow over the South American landscape in Embrace of the Serpent, the third feature by Ciro Guerra. Filmed in stunning black-and-white, Serpent centers on Karamakate, an Amazonian shaman and the last survivor of his people, and the two scientists who, over the course of 40 years, build a friendship with him. The film was inspired by the real-life journals of two explorers who traveled through the Colombian Amazon during the last century in search of the sacred and difficult-to-find psychedelic Yakruna plant. “Majestic. Spellbinding… Beautiful isn’t strong enough a word.” —Stephen Holden, The New York Times “A dazzlingly singular vision. Poetic, surreal and ravishing.” —Guy Lodge, Variety Available for streaming on: YouTube, Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, iTunes, Hulu, Kanopy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1584820853449-VK3NS5M3YLBOT10BD1SL/Unknown.jpg Events - Stream Cinema Tropical's 25 Best Latin American Films of the Decade 4. ROMA (Alfonso Cuarón, Mexico, 2018, 135 min. In Spanish, Mixtec, and English with English subtitles) Based on director Alfonso Cuarón’s own childhood in a middle-class home in 1970s Mexico City, Roma is the gentle and intricate portrait of Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), the family’s housekeeper and nanny. An incredible work of social realism, Roma chronicles a year from Cleo’s perspective, featuring the emotional and domestic labor she provides to the family and her rare personal moments away from the home. Cuarón’s return to Mexico after 17 years in Hollywood, Roma is a magnificent example of a master telling a deeply personal story with impeccable craft. Remarkably photographed in gorgeous black and white (also by Cuarón) this film is mesmerizing in every aspect. “From the raw material of memory [Cuaron has] made something that nearly erases the difference between artifice and life, as well as the distance between past and present.” —A.O.

NOSTALGIA FOR THE LIGHT / NOSTALGIA DE LA LUZ(Patricio Guzmán, France/Germany/Chile/Spain, 2011, 90 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Film master director Patricio Guzman, famed for his political documentaries (The Battle of Chile, The Pinochet Case), travels 10,000 feet above sea level to the driest place on earth, the Atacama Desert, where atop the mountains astronomers from all over the world gather to observe the stars. The sky is so translucent that it allows them to see right to the boundaries of the universe. The Atacama is also a place where the harsh heat of the sun keeps human remains intact: those of Pre-Columbian mummies; 19th century explorers and miners; and the remains of political prisoners, "disappeared" by the Chilean army after the military coup of September, 1973. "Stunningly beautiful. I don't know how you can put more into a film, or make one that's more deeply moving." —Stuart Klawans, The Nation “An extraordinary film about the unknown and the unknowable." —Sight & Sound Magazine “Deeply Affecting [Critics Pick]" —New York Magazine Available for streaming on: Ovid.tv , Amazon, iTunes, Vimeo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1584823137377-6PYXV4A2IFKYKEQE4PRQ/image-asset.jpeg Events - Stream Cinema Tropical's 25 Best Latin American Films of the Decade 6. POST TENEBRAS LUX (Carlos Reygadas, Mexico/France/Germany/Netherlands, 2012, 115 min. In Spanish, English and French with English subtitles) Post Tenebras Lux (“light after darkness”), ostensibly the story of an upscale, urban family whose move to the Mexican countryside results in domestic crises and class friction, is a stunningly photographed, impressionistic psychological portrait of a family and their place within the sublime, unforgiving natural world. Reygadas conjures a host of unforgettable, ominous images: a haunting sequence at dusk as Reygadas’s real-life daughter wanders a muddy field and farm animals loudly circle and thunder and lightning threaten; a glowing-red demon gliding through the rooms of a home; a husband and wife visiting a swingers’ bathhouse with rooms named after famous philosophers. By turns entrancing and mystifying, Post Tenebras Lux palpably explores the primal conflicts of the human condition. “Captivating! Sumptuous!” —Richard Brody, The New Yorker “Entrancingly Beatiful. As beguiling a cinematic object as one is likely to encounter this year… a personal work in which autobiographical content is lyrically transfigured and elevated to cosmic heights.” —Dan Sullivan, Film Comment “Thrillingly strange!

AQUARIUS (Kleber Mendonça Filho, Brazil/France, 2016, 146 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) In Aquarius, acclaimed Brazilian writer-director Kleber Mendonça Filho (Neighboring Sounds) continues to examine the alienating effects of urban over-development in Recife, a Brazilian oceanfront city. Clara (Sônia Braga, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands), a vibrant former music critic, avid swimmer, grandmother, cancer survivor, willing lover and widow with flowing tresses, is the only remaining apartment owner in a gracious older building targeted for demolition by ruthless luxury high-rise developers. As the builders tactics to remove Clara, become increasingly hostile, Clara proves to be a force to be reckoned with. Mendonça Filho critiques life in contemporary Brazil, ranging from issues of social class, to the mistrust of government, to ageism, nepotism and corporate corruption, while looking fondly at the music, the places and the objects that we come to cherish in a very personal way. In Aquarius, this history encapsulated in a dwelling, that in and of itself, has been a silent witness to a woman's entire life. “A sensuous memory piece about the meanings we invest in places, objects, and music; and a lovingly tailored vehicle for the ever luminous Sonia Braga." —Dennis Lim, Artforum "A career-defining performance by the great Sônia Braga - weathered, proud, sensuous, fragile - captivates and brings us into her world." —Bilge Ebiri, The Village Voice "Sonia Braga is stupendous in Aquarius.

JAUJA (Lisandro Alonso, Argentina/Denmark/France/Mexico, 2014, 109 min. In Spanish, Danish, and French with English subtitles) An astonishingly beautiful and gripping Western starring Viggo Mortensen, Jauja (pronounced how-ha) begins in a remote outpost in Patagonia during the late 1800s. Captain Gunnar Dinesen has come from abroad with his fifteen year-old daughter to take an engineering job with the Argentine army. Being the only female in the area, Ingeborg creates quite a stir among the men. She falls in love with a young soldier, and one night they run away together. When Dinesen realizes what has happened, he decides to venture into enemy territory to find the young couple. Featuring a superb performance from Mortensen, Jauja (the name suggests a fabled city of riches sought by European explorers) is the story of a man’s desperate search for his daughter, a solitary quest that takes him to a place beyond time, where the past vanishes and the future has no meaning.

TEMPESTAD (Tatiana Huezo, Mexico, 2016, 105 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Through a subjective and emotional journey, this film conveys the paralyzing power of fear: fear as a sickness that prevents you from taking a stand on your life, on the future of your children; which clouds your ability to dream and grow. A morning on a quite normal day: Miriam is arrested at her workplace and is accused, without proof, of “people trafficking”. The violence she suffered and was exposed to during her imprisonment has left a profound gap in her life. Adela works as a clown in a traveling circus. Ten years ago, her life was irreversibly transformed; every night during the show, she evokes her missing daughter, Monica. Tempest is the parallel journey of two women. Mirror-like, it reflects the impact of the violence and impunity that afflict Mexico. * Not yet available for online streaming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1584824008083-QHEMKD0HQBIQRIBOEGE4/image-asset.jpeg Events - Stream Cinema Tropical's 25 Best Latin American Films of the Decade 10 (TIE). ARABY (Affonso Uchoa and João Dumans, Brazil, 2017, 98 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) Andre, a teenager, lives in an industrial town in Brazil near an old aluminum factory. One day, a factory worker, Cristiano, suffers an accident. Asked to go to Cristiano’s house to pick up clothes and documents, Andre stumbles on a notebook, and it’s here that Araby begins — or, rather, transforms. As Andre reads from the journal entries, we are plunged into Cristiano’s life, into stories of his wanderings, adventures, and loves. Beautifully written and filmed, Araby is a fable-like road movie about a young man who sets off on a ten-year journey in search of a better life. "Araby opens quietly but builds with tremendous emotional force." —Manohla Dargis, The New York Times "Critic's Pick!

A USEFUL LIFE / LA VIDA ÚTIL(Federico Veiroj, Uruguay/Spain, 2010, 63 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) After twenty-five years, Cinemateca Uruguaya’s most devoted employee, Jorge (real-life Uruguayan critic Jorge Jellinek), still finds his inspiration in caring for the films and audiences that grace the seats and screen of his beloved arthouse cinema. But when dwindling attendance and diminishing support force the theater to close its doors, Jorge is sent into a world he knows only through the lens of art—and suddenly forced to discover a new passion that transcends his once-celluloid reality. Stylishly framed in black-and-white with brilliantly understated performances, Federico Veiroj’s sly and loving homage to the soul of cinema is a universally appealing gem and knowing charmer about life after the movies.

On a quiet city block in the coastal city of Recife, ruled by an aging patriarch and his sons, a recent spate of petty crime has rattled the nerves of the well-to-do residents. When a mysterious security firm is brought in to watch over the neighborhood, it sparks the fears and anxieties of a divided society still haunted by its past. "A revelatory debut feature." —A.O.

THE TINIEST PLACE / EL LUGAR MÁS PEQUEÑO (Tatiana Huezo, Mexico, 2011, 100 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) On the surface The Tiniest Place is the story of Cinquera, a village literally wiped off the official map during El Salvador's 12-year civil war. But on a deeper level it is a story about the ability to rise, to rebuild and reinvent oneself after a tragedy. Holding the past and present in focus together, the film takes us to the tiny village nestled in the mountains amidst the humid Salvadoran jungle, while villagers, survivors of the war's massacres, recount their journey home at war's end. When they first returned their village no longer existed. Nevertheless they decided to stay. And over the years as they worked the land, built new homes and started new families, the people of Cinquera learned to live with sorrow. "A profound expression of the twin powers of life and death… The subject of the Central American wars of recent decades has rarely received such a level of artistic treatment onscreen." —Robert Koehler, Variety "Unforgettable...One of the finest docs I've seen over the past year." —Howard Feinstein, Filmmaker Magazine Available for streaming on: Ovid.tv. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1584825830032-DDZKCRKY7KZSFCA8178I/1446754596-01882057030300.jpg Events - Stream Cinema Tropical's 25 Best Latin American Films of the Decade 13. EL CLUB / THE CLUB (Pablo Larraín, Chile, 2015, 98 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) In a secluded seaside town, four mysterious men live together in a small house on the shore with a woman who serves as their caretaker. Former priests who have been exiled to the quiet hamlet as punishment for, and protection from, their past sins, the men keep a strict daily schedule devoid of temptation and highlighted by time spent training their greyhound racing dog. When a new houseguest arrives from the outside world, quickly followed by an emissary sent by the Vatican, the fragile stability unravels and deeply buried secrets come to the surface. Masterfully directed by Chilean auteur Pablo Larraín (No), The Club is a taut, blackly comic critique of organized religion, individual responsibility, and the combustible combination of the two. "It’s a terrifically smart film…crucial, thrilling and disturbing." —David Calhoun, Time Out London "It’s a surprising and often thought-provoking effort from a filmmaker who has never chosen to take the simple path, confirming Larrain as one of the more genuine talents working in cinema today." —Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter "A bold, blunt, yet clinically intelligent film ... it's all at once a gripping thriller, an incendiary social critique and a mordant moral fable." —Jessica Kiang, The Playlist Available for streaming on: YouTube, Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, iTunes, Kanopy, Shudder, Fandango Now https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1584826745336-O92D66L9FCSAVE622LCW/pajaros_de_verano-2_copy_0.jpg Events - Stream Cinema Tropical's 25 Best Latin American Films of the Decade 14. BIRDS OF PASSAGE / PÁJAROS DE VERANO (Ciro Guerra, Cristina Gallego, Colombia/Denmark/Mexico, 2018, 125 min. In Wayuu, Spanish, and English with English subtitles) From the Oscar®-nominated team behind the genre-defying Embrace of the Serpent, comes an equally audacious saga centered on the Wayúu indigenous people during a crucial period in recent Colombian history. Torn between his desire to become a powerful man and his duty to uphold his culture’s values, Rapayet (José Acosta) enters the drug trafficking business in the 1970s and finds quick success despite his tribe’s matriarch Ursula’s (Carmiña Martínez) disapproval. Ignoring ancient omens, Rapayet and his family get caught up in a conflict where honor is the highest currency and debts are paid with blood. A sprawling epic about the erosion of tradition in pursuit of material wealth, Birds of Passage is a visually striking exploration of loyalty, greed, and the voracious nature of change. “Critic’s Pick. Even as you may be reminded of other sweeping chronicles of fortunes made and souls undone by ambition and greed—Giant, The Godfather, even ‘Breaking Bad’ — your perception of the world is likely to be permanently altered. The experience made me think of some of my favorite movies (I’ll add Visconti’s LA TERRA TREMA to the list), but it’s also like nothing I’ve ever seen before.” – A.O. Scott, The New York Times “An ethnographic thriller... The directors, Cristina Gallego and Ciro Guerra, examine [Wayuu] traditions with ardent attention; their poised, richly textured images both unfold the action in tense detail and enmesh it in its social context, rescuing cultural memory from tragic devastation.” —Richard Brody, The New Yorker “The sprawling, colorful ensemble narrative plays like THE GODFATHER by way of Werner Herzog...

Instead of being able to mourn her lover, Marina is treated with suspicion by authorities and with disdain by his family. She is forbidden to attend his funeral and thrown out of the apartment they shared. Marina is a trans woman and for most of Orlando’s family, her sexual identity is a perversion. So she must battle the very same forces that she has spent a lifetime fighting just to become the woman she is now – a complex, strong, forthright and fantastic.

Against all odds, with scant resources and under scrutiny by the despot's minions, Saavedra and his team devise an audacious plan to win the election and set Chile free. “Sly and smart. Weirdly funny and rousing, both intellectually and emotionally.” —The New York Times “The best movie ever made about Chilean plebiscites, No thoroughly deserves its Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Film.” —Anthony Lane, The New Yorker “Nominated by the Academy as the year’s best foreign-language film, No grabs you hard, no mercy, and keeps you riveted.” —Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Available for streaming on: YouTube, Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu, Fandango Now https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1584827052610-1NXOU5MKY1KKGQ9X37K1/image-asset.png Events - Stream Cinema Tropical's 25 Best Latin American Films of the Decade 17.

A group of cinephiles headed by Luis Ospina, Andrés Caicedo and Carlos Mayolo, who, in the middle of the unbridled rumba and the historical chaos of the 70s and 80s, managed to produce a set of cinematographic works fundamental to the history of Colombian cinema.

In Spanish, Portuguese, and Visayan with English subtitles) One of the most thrillingly of-the-moment and unclassifiable first features of the century, Argentine director Eduardo Williams’ globe-spanning portrait of millennial restlessness and ennui shifts between cybersex chat rooms in Buenos Aires and Mozambique, the Filipino jungle, and a dystopian tablet computer factory. The Human Surge is an exploration of the surreal strangeness—and paradoxical alienation—of life in the age of hyper-connection. Winner of the top prize in the 2016 Locarno Film Festival’s Filmmakers of the Present section. “Just when you think you've got the movie pegged, it pulls a daring switch of perspective. While the thrill of that little coup is short-lived, it suggests that Mr. Williams may come up with something more substantial with his next feature.” —Glenn Kenny, The New York Times “This is a heckuva stimulating cinematic achievement for a relative newcomer.

Immersing us in its characters' customs and beliefs, Ixcanul chronicles with unblinking realism, a disappearing tradition and a disappearing people. "A powerful and highly accomplished debut deserving recognition. Moreover, with its social realist focus on Guatemala’s contemporary Mayan population, it offers a portrait of a largely unseen community refreshingly free of exoticism (the remarkable unprofessional cast helped co-write the script).” —Filmmaker Magazine "Jayro Bustamante’s Ixcanul was a genuine discovery, as this is not only the director’s first feature, but also the first film made in the Kaqchikel Mayan language..." —Senses of Cinema "Bustamante’s film is downright Herzogian (far more than Herzog’s own “Queen of the Desert”) in its surfeit of physical detail, observed ritual and looming clash of civilizations." — Scott Foundas, Variety Available for streaming on: YouTube, Amazon, Vudu, Google Play, iTunes, Kanopy, Kino Now https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1584827487498-DNUX2B4L7QFUMFW1U67N/1505424010_354928_1505424286_sumario_normal.jpg Events - Stream Cinema Tropical's 25 Best Latin American Films of the Decade 20. THE UNTAMED / LA REGIÓN SALVAJE (Amat Escalante, Mexico/Denmark/France/Germany/Norway/Switzerland, 2016, 100 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Young mother Alejandra is a working housewife, raising two boys with husband Angel in a small city. Her brother Fabian works as a nurse in a local hospital. Their provincial lives are upset with the arrival of mysterious Veronica. Sex and love can be fragile in certain regions where strong family values, hypocrisy, homophobia, and male chauvinism exist. Veronica convinces them that in the nearby woods, inside an isolated cabin, dwells something not of this world that could be the answer to all of their problems. Something whose force they cannot resist and with whom they must make peace or suffer its wrath. “There is a fine line between horror and humor, and if you adjust your angle of vision accordingly, you can see the architecture of farce beneath the ornamentation of shock and suffering.” —A.O. Scott, New York Times “Intriguing!” —Variety "A sci-fi sexual drama that will blow your mind." —Meredith Borders, Birth. Movies. Death.

IN THE INTENSE NOW / NO INTENSO AGORA (João Salles, Brazil, 2017, 127 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) Made following the discovery of amateur footage shot in China in 1966 during the first and most radical stage of the Cultural Revolution, In The Intense Now speaks to the fleeting nature of moments of great intensity. Scenes of China are set alongside archival images of the events of 1968 in France, Czechoslovakia, and, to a lesser extent, Brazil. In keeping with the tradition of the film-essay, they serve to investigate how the people who took part in those events continued onward after passions had cooled. The footage, all of it archival, not only reveals the state of mind of those filmed—joy, enchantment, fear, disappointment, dismay—but also sheds light on the relationship between a document and its political context. What can one say of Paris, Prague, Rio de Janeiro, or Beijing by looking at the images of the period? Why did each of these cities produce a specific sort of record? "Find solace, enlightenment and surprise in João Moreira Salles’s 'In the Intense Now,' a bittersweet, ruminative documentary essay." —A. O.

GÜEROS (Alonso Ruizpalacios, Mexico, 2014, 111 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Ever since the National University strike broke out, Sombra and Santos have been living in angst-ridden limbo. Education-less, motionless, purposeless, and unsure of what the strike will bring, they begin to look for strange ways to kill time. But their idiosyncratic routine is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Tomas, Sombra's kid brother. Unable to fit in amongst these older slackers, Tomas discovers that unsung Mexican folk-rock hero Epigmenio Cruz has been hospitalized somewhere in the city. Tomas convinces Sombra and Santos they must track him down in order to pay their final respects on his deathbed. But what they thought would be a simple trip to find their childhood idol soon becomes a voyage of self-discovery across Mexico City's invisible frontiers. “Both sweetly nostalgic and exuberantly now... An unabashed homage not only to the Nouvelle Vague but also to a more general international new wave-ism.” —A.O. Scott, The New York Times “FASCINATING. JOYOUS.

RELATOS SALVAJES / WILD TALES (Damián Szifron, Argentina/Spain, 2014, 122 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Inequality, injustice and the demands of the world we live in cause stress and depression for many people. Some of them, however, explode. This is a movie about those people. Vulnerable in the face of a reality that shifts and suddenly turns unpredictable, the characters of Wild Tales cross the thin line that divides civilization and barbarism. A lover's betrayal, a return to the repressed past and the violence woven into everyday encounters drive the characters to madness as they cede to the undeniable pleasure of losing control. "Tales of apocalyptic revenge. The year's most fearlessly funny film." — Richard Corliss, Time "Hilarious!

COCOTE (Nelson Carlo de los Santos, Dominican Republic/Brazil/Argentina, 2017, 106 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) A rapturous crime fable set in the Dominican Republic, Nelson Carlo De Los Santos Arias’ Cocote follows Alberto, a kind-hearted gardener returning home to attend his father’s funeral. When he discovers that a powerful local figure is responsible for his father’s death, Alberto realizes that he’s been summoned by his family to avenge the murder. It’s an unthinkable act — especially for him, an Evangelical Christian. But as pressure mounts, he sees few ways out. Questions of faith, tradition and honor course through this electrifying film, which, seemingly at the speed of thought itself, jumps between film formats, colors, and aspect ratios, radically envisioning a community torn asunder by senseless violence. “A dazzling story of homecoming, grief, and revenge infused with the energy and rituals of the Dominican Republic.” —Violet Lucca, Film Comment "Rapturous... brings to life a universe that is at once strange yet pulses with familiar passions.” — Ela Bittencourt, Frieze Available for streaming on: Amazon, Apple TV, Kanopy, Grasshopper Film, Topic, Hoopla https://www.cinematropical.com/new-events/los-ltimos-frikis-at-the-miami-film-festival monthly 0.5 2020-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1582224591686-I4953ZRZG5GAKJTM4H5K/Los-Ultimos-Frikis.jpg Events - LOS ÚLTIMOS FRIKIS Digital Festival Premiere https://www.cinematropical.com/new-events/us-premiere-of-hugo-santiagos-the-sky-of-the-centaur monthly 0.5 2020-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1581041494037-M42R14AC857CKS0PQT2V/194444.jpg-r_1280_720-f_jpg-q_x-xxyxx.jpg Events - U.S. Premiere of Hugo Santiago's THE SKY OF THE CENTAUR https://www.cinematropical.com/new-events/us-theatrical-release-of-bacurau monthly 0.5 2020-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1581041394632-P9E01BA0PRI5R75LH926/Sonia+Braga+as+Domingas+_+Victor+Juca%CC%81.jpg Events - BACURAU Special Virtual Theatrical Streaming https://www.cinematropical.com/new-events/memory-maps-with-argentine-filmmaker-andrs-di-tella monthly 0.5 2020-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1580854850074-K96SHE9I5KXKONKVEH44/Andres-Di-Tella-e1580772872693.jpg Events - 'Memory Maps' with Argentine Filmmaker Andrés Di Tella https://www.cinematropical.com/new-events/us-premiere-of-new-digitally-remastered-copy-of-roberto-farias-1963-selva-trgica monthly 0.5 2020-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1580502849472-LFJS9AMB51MQL7FTGG8H/Unknown.jpeg Events - U.S. Premiere of New Digital Copy of SELVA TRÁGICA https://www.cinematropical.com/new-events/5th-annual-edition-of-neighboring-scenes monthly 0.5 2020-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1580477271160-U1NBD8O3SB23GCYO8836/Ema-1-1-1600x900-c-default.jpg Events - 5th Annual Edition of Neighboring Scenes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1580478208512-DM5JWM5Z1L07WK89MCVO/image-asset.jpeg Events - 5th Annual Edition of Neighboring Scenes LEMEBEL A film by Joanna Reposi Garibaldi (Chile/Colombia, 2019, 96 min.

Álvares and Delaroche spend a few intense days within a massive truck driver strike, yet despite this show of evident solidarity, despair makes some participants doubt the democratic process and call for military intervention.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) But Tickets One of Brazil’s most brilliant contemporary dramaturgs and actors, Grace Passô—known for starring in such films as André Novais Oliveira’s Long Way Home and Mauríio Martins and Gabriel Martins’s In the Heart of the World—co-directs with Alves, Jr. a film adaptation of her internationally touring drama, Wandering Flesh. On an empty stage, a disembodied voice speaks of a case of spirit possession, or a reincarnation. Passô acts as the bodily host for the erudite, angry spirit—and slowly, miraculously, conducts the viewer into a world poisoned by arbitrary notions of gender, sex, and race, which end in violence. Preceded by MANGROVE (Amaranta Cesar, Brazil, 2018, 22 min.) and Pattaki (Everlane Morães, Brazil, 2018, 20 min.) Shot in a traditional quilombo of the descendants of African slaves, Mangrove beautifully captures the affirmative power of ancestry and rural communities, but also the distant pull of city life. Meanwhile the nocturnal Pattaki, which Morães filmed in Cuba, transports us into a dreamlike world permeated by the Yoruba sea spirit, Yemaya (North American premiere at the Sundance Film Festival 2020).

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Q&A with director Buy Tickets Eronilde lost her partner and was wounded when West Park—an area on the periphery of the capital, Brasilia, that was being occupied by the sem teto (lit. “[those] without a roof”)—was attacked by the military police. Returning to the site, which symbolizes not just government-sanctioned aggression but also her community’s resistance, Eronilde relives her personal trauma while striving to rebuild her confidence in the future. Assis’s powerful documentary mixes first-person testimony with clandestine audio and raw video captured under duress, to reveal a community taken hostage by unfulfilled political promises—a theme that reverberates throughout contemporary Brazil. Preceded by QUEBRAMAR (Cris Lyra, Brazil, 2019, 26 min.) This poignant film follows a group of friends on a beachside vacation where they share stories of discovering their lesbian identity. Firmly rooted in the experiential reality, Quebramar (lit. “breakwater”) nevertheless hints at the dreamy atmosphere of the mythical Lesbos.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Widely discussed and praised in Brazil for its compassionate presentation of a black Brazilian middle-class rarely portrayed on the big screen, Coffee With Cinnamon was also the first feature co-directed by a black Brazilian woman (Ninácio). Young Violeta cannot shake off a desire to help her grieving former teacher, while one of her neighbors also suffers an irredeemable loss. Set in Salvador, Bahia, this gentle, multilayered story about a tightly knit neighborhood coming together ranges from understated realism tinged with humor to the edge of horror.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Introduced by programmer Ela Bittencourt. A different twist on the futurist, dystopian, heavily militarized Brazil that some viewers may recall from the films of Adirley Queirós (White Out, Black In; There Was Once Brasilia), this is a passionately, angrily conceived portrait of lesbian love set against the backdrop of social protests in Fortaleza (similar protests, with economic demands, engulfed the whole country in 2013). This “impatient hymn to blind fury" (FIDMarseille), takes a beat from the opening rap lyrics that call on all to get politicized and to resist paralysis. Preceded by THE PASSAGE OF THE COMET ( Juliana Rojas. 2017, 20 min.) One of Brazil’s most promising young filmmakers (Good Manners) Juliana Rojas brings inflections of genre to pointed social critiques.

New York Premiere) Buy Tickets The fascinating debut feature from Adirley Queirós (director of White Out, Black In and Once There Was Brasília) is a fiction/documentary hybrid focusing on a satellite city of Brasilia called Ceilândia. This administrative region—its name derived from the acronym CEI (Invasion Eradication Campaign)—was created in the 1970s to remove and relocate the low-income neighborhoods encroaching on the capital. Half a century after the construction of Brasilia, Is the City Only One? reflects on the spatial and social exclusions that have defined the relationship between the federal district, its surroundings, and the people who built the city from nothing.

In the city of Fortaleza, Eugenio, Joaquim, and João use clandestine radio transmissions to communicate their hunger for freedom and revolution, hacking traditional stations with poetry, rebellious music, quotes, and provocations, targeting the bourgeois society of their hometown. One day, however, a mysterious listener (Neon Bull‘s Samya De Lavor) appears in their lives, transforming their destinies.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) A man is kidnapped and brought to an island that is impossible to leave for those who are born there. Emerson, the young kidnapper, is one of those island people, and he has a passionate wish: to make a film about his own life. His radical solution to help achieve this leads to a film about both himself and his hostage, who reenact their lives. When real life beyond the camera increasingly shapes the narrative of the film, things start to get out of hand. The multilayered Island evolves from a playful game of metacinema to an allegorical tale of Brazil’s untold stories.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Middle-aged Marcelo has a memory like no other. Monologuing between coffee and hookups, he holds court on a wide variety of topics: his lovers, his HIV status, his chronic headaches, his Catholic grandmother, his homophobic father, and his unusual sexual fantasies. At times, he takes himself for Genghis Khan, poet-philosopher Novalis, or a French courtesan; at others, he talks about Bataille or the Saint whose name he has forgotten. From Gustavo Vinagre (I Remember the Crows; Nova Dubai) and Rodrigo Carneiro, The Blue Rose of Novalis is a documentary-style portrait of a singular man that blurs the line between the “real” and the staged. Screening with NOIRBLUE: DISPLACEMENTS OF A DANCE (Ana Pi, Brazil/France, 2018, 27 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles.

In Portuguese with English subtitles.

In this multi-character ensemble, the inhabitants of a poor neighborhood yearn for a better life: some get involved in crime, others just try and get by. Using a mix of professional and amateur actors, the directors create a kaleidoscopic, inventively photographed portrait of struggle, hope, and faith.

L. believes that destruction can help them navigate the ruins, while Ruiz’s passionate love for L. is the only thing that keeps him alive. The third feature by filmmaker, critic, and visual artist Tiago Mata Machado, The Sleepwalkers is fragmented post-apocalyptic portrait set in a dystopian present where art and politics have reached a point of no return.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Seven years ago, one night in May, Rafael came home from work to find that people he did not know had come looking for him. He fled without looking back—from that moment on living as though that night never ended. One evening, around a campfire near a factory, Rafael recounts his story to a stranger who had a similar experience. Rafael’s personal story thus becomes part of the collective testimony of a nation oppressed by poverty, police repression, and institutional corruption. Reflecting the storytelling and style of his previous film Araby, Affonso Uchôa’s Seven Years in May is a poetic and political fable structured around the often unheard words of Brazil’s working class. Screening with AVA YVY VERA: THE LAND OF THE LIGHTNING PEOPLE (Ava Yvy Vera: A terra do povo do raio, Genito Gomes, Valmir Gonçalves Cabreira, Jhonn Nara Gomes, Jhonaton Gomes, Edina Ximenes, Dulcídio Gomes, Sarah Brites, and Joilson Brites, Brazil, 2017, 52 min.

Deodato works for his uncle as an apprentice gravedigger at a cemetery in São Paulo, a job that takes an emotional toll on him. Deodato’s routine changes when an officer from the city’s funerary bureau arrives at the cemetery. To maximize profits, they must remove human remains from certain graves in order to put them back on the market. But in carrying out this directive strange events make them think twice about tampering with the dead. Screening with SWINGUERRA (Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Burca, Brazil, 2019, 23 min.

Swinguerra is the latest work from multimedia artists Bárbara Wagner and Benjamin de Burca, which made its single-channel debut at Locarno after screening as a dual-channel installation at the Venice Biennial. As with their previous works, the film uses music to create a sort of collaborative ethnography, tracing a cultural map of Brazil on the dance floor.

Their first plan is to trek through the country’s interior to deliver weapons to a group of militant nuns who live off the proceeds of their cannabis farm—a journey that becomes ever more dangerous. Sol Alegria turns a queer gaze to the legacies of Brazilian counterculture—from the novel Macunaíma to Tropicália music—as enduring testimonies of freedom and joy.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Buy Tickets A man and a woman who might be lovers—and perhaps artists, actors, or script writers—surrender themselves to a strange role-playing game that follows the logic of a dream. In absurdist, symbolism-drenched fantasy scenarios, a psychic domain where even a model train set can acquire unexpected significance, they realize their secret, often erotically charged desires. Life and art, light and dark, despair and desire, poetry and pathos, tenderness and conflict freely intermingle, gradually revealing Bedouin as an elegant and surrealist mosaic from cinema marginal master Júlio Bressane.

Reception courtesy of the Embassy of Bolivia. “Flowing with intrigue, beauty and brutality, Bolivian writer-director Juan Pablo Richter’s feature debut transports us to a seemingly placid rural locale where a teenage boy gets pulled into dangerous waters. Sebastián leaves a fraught situation in the city to live with his long-estranged father Raphael, who resides on a ranch adjacent to a jungle-lined river. Sebastián is a scrapper, and Raphael seeks to channel those unruly energies through activities like hunting. But as life in this pastoral setting begins to reveal its true nature, Sebastián finds himself struggling against a current of corruption, humiliation and violence in which women are currency. Eschewing stylistic pyrotechnics in favor of eerily mounting tensions, Richter proves himself a keen observer of toxic masculine codes and the bracing velocity with which innocence can suddenly be washed away.” —Miami Film Festival Wednesday, November 20, 7pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1574107176211-T55UL7CM0PDZ2YE2GUR3/Socrates.jpg Events - 8th Annual Edition of Reel Time at GALA SÓCRATES (Alexandre Moratto, Brazil/USA, 2018, 71 min.

His ugliness attracts the rejection and ridicule of all women, except his assistant Maria, who can see him for who he really is. Tired of constant contempt, he unexpectedly encounters his fairy godfather (Joaquín Cosío, Narcos: Mexico, Me gusta pero me asusta, The Thin Yellow Line), a mysterious man who casts a spell on him, transforming him into an irresistible hunk named Brando (played by popular actor William Levy).

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Post-screening Q&A with director Fabio Meira. By chance, Brazilian teenager Irene (newcomer Priscila Bittencourt, in an assured performance) discovers that there is another 13-year-old Irene living in the same town. Curiously, she observes the confident, cheerful girl who lives alone with her mother. She is fascinated by this other world beyond the bounds of her own well-to-do and traditional family. This other Irene seems free. Soon the two girls, apparently so different from each other, are spending every day together, meeting up with boys in the cinema or going to the lake. When they start talking about their fathers, they notice that they have more in common than they had thought. Winner of the Best First Feature and Best Cinematography awards at the Guadalajara Film Festival, this debut feature by Fabio Meira is an exquisite mosaic that weaves a wonderfully delicate web around questions of identity, true friendship, and the first steps towards adulthood.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Post-screening Q&A with director Mauricio Alfredo Ovando and Fadrique Iglesias. Alfredo Ovando Candia was a military general who served as Co-President of Bolivia from 1965–66 (and again from 1969–70) after overthrowing sitting President Víctor Paz Estenssoro. His political and military service connected him to the largest massacre of workers in the country’s history, as well as the military campaign in which Che Guevara was killed. Incorporating archival footage recorded during Ovando’s de facto government, home movies, and interviews with relatives, filmmaker Mauricio Alfredo Ovando’s debut feature studies the many profiles of his grandfather to juxtapose his family’s memories with the official history. Winner of the Best Director and FIPRESCI awards at the 2018 Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema, Still Burn is a courageous, perceptive documentary about how collective and personal memories are created from—and ultimately shape—a complicated legacy.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Post-screening Q&A with critic Anne Wakefield Hoyt In this classic comedy, Mexican icon “Tin Tan” (Germán Valdés) leads a gang of small-time con artists whose crimes include conning wealthy women by acting as musicians. Everything gets complicated when one of the victims (Silvia Pinal) falls in love with him and is hell-bent on marrying him. The persona of Tin Tan was intimately linked to Hollywood through his trademark character of the pachuco. With his zoot suit, swagger, streetwise sensibility, bilingual wordplay and embrace of swing, Tin Tan became the cinematic embodiment of a cultural figure forged between two nations. This movie is considered by many critics to be one of the top five comedies in the Spanish language.

In the wake of husband’s death, Carmen finds herself succumbing to alcohol and its promise of oblivion. Unable to either process her own grief or help her children through theirs, she tells her son and daughter that their father will return—an illusion heightened by the appearances of a strange creature. Wind Traces wends through a labyrinth of magic and loss, handling overwhelming emotion with delicacy and intelligence and displaying an acute understanding of the sometimes spectral nature of childhood trauma. —Miami Film Festival Sunday, November 24, 7pm https://www.cinematropical.com/new-events/special-screening-of-bolivian-film-still-burn monthly 0.5 2019-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1573247906151-2ZM3J8OLPYOXBNGVQ610/AlgoQuema2.jpg Events - Special Screening of Bolivian Film STILL BURN https://www.cinematropical.com/new-events/us-theatrical-release-of-jayro-bustamantes-temblores monthly 0.5 2019-12-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1573246542948-KB3XC1UE4D9WSU2WXTSY/temblores_gallery_3.jpg Events - U.S. Theatrical Release of TEMBLORES https://www.cinematropical.com/new-events/new-york-theatrical-release-of-sequestrada monthly 0.5 2019-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1573244907978-WACLY2UNKYPJMBPGXO5R/Sequestrada1.jpg Events - New York Theatrical Release of SEQUESTRADA https://www.cinematropical.com/new-events/seneca-at-the-tide-film-festival monthly 0.5 2019-11-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1573246014345-IGH7O9LG2ADDUNG74Q3Y/Seneca.jpg Events - SENECA at the TIDE Film Festival https://www.cinematropical.com/new-events/latin-american-films-at-doc-nyc monthly 0.5 2019-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1572451107073-I2XESXYUA9QYQALRIHS3/The-Cordillera-of-Dreams-1.jpg Events - Latin American Films at DOC NYC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1572450748877-651T8Y8COKMZYQ05ND3C/The-Journey-of-Monalisa.jpg Events - Latin American Films at DOC NYC THE JOURNEY OF MONALISA / EL VIAJE DE MONALISA (Nicole Costa, Chile/USA, 2019, 93 min.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets US Premiere A look at the trajectory of Brazilian singer Clementina de Jesus (1901-1987). Revealed belatedly at the age of 62, Clementina became one of the greatest voices of samba, representing the so-called “missing link" between Brazilian culture and its African roots. Clementina de Jesus was "discovered" at the age of 62 by researcher Hermínio Bello de Carvalho, becoming one of the greatest proponents of Brazilian samba, music, and culture. Immediately recognized by the musical academy for her unique presence and timbre, she worked as a domestic servant until her career was launched following her debut in the iconic Rosa de Ouro spectacle. She was the first black artist to be honored at the Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro in a historical show that brought together Paulinho da Viola, João Nogueira, and Elizeth Cardoso, among other prominent figures of samba. Clementina was honored by the Portela Samba School during their 1982 carnival parade. She left a large repository of material used here for the feature documentary, Clementina.

In Portuguese and English with English subtitles) Academy Award nominated filmmaker Bruno Barreto returns with a sophisticated tale of an unlikely romance between two extraordinary artists, set against the backdrop of political upheaval and a clash of cultures. Grappling with writer’s block, legendary American poet Elizabeth Bishop (Miranda Otto) travels from New York City to Rio de Janeiro in the 1950s to visit her college friend, Mary (Tracy Middendorf). Hoping to find inspiration on Mary’s sprawling estate, Elizabeth winds up with much more—a tempestuous relationship with Mary’s bohemian partner, architect Lota de Macedo Soares (Glória Pires), that rocks the staid writer to her foundation. Alcoholism, geographical distance and a military coup come between the lovers, but their intimate connection spans decades and forever impacts the life and work of these two extraordinary artists. The attraction of two polar-opposite women has rarely been so volatile and so erotically charged on the big screen.

He co-wrote The Girl from Ipanema and many other samba and bossa-nova standards. His play Orfeu da Conceição was adapted into the Oscar-winning 1958 film Black Orpheus, for which he also co-wrote several classic songs. To celebrate the life and work of a multifaceted creator—playwright, poet, partner of the most important names of MPB and, above all, an enlightened personage of the country's cultural history—director Miguel Faria Jr. has brought together an incomparable cast of partners, interpreters, friends and rare archival images to reconstruct Vinicius' genial simplicity with the spontaneity, humor, and freedom of friends conversing in a bar.

In French, Portuguese, and English with English subtitles) A blow dart-wielding thug snatches a rare statuette from the Musée de l’Homme; anthropologist Jean Servais (Rififi) is kidnapped in broad Parisian daylight; serviceman Jean-Paul Belmondo begins his 8-day leave by changing to civvies in a Métro entrance and witnesses fiancée Françoise Dorléac (Catherine Deneuve’s sister, killed in a car accident 3 years later) getting kidnapped herself–and then the chase begins: by motorcycle, shoe leather, flight to Rio de Janeiro sans ticket or passport, airport baggage carrier, cable car, pink car complete with green stars and a rumble seat, water skies, Amazon river boat, seaplane, jungle vine… all shot in breathtaking widescreen and color. Even as Dorléac, rescued, is kidnapped again, Belmondo performs his own blood-curdling stunts against that sugar loaf Rio skyline and across that under-construction unearthly architecture of Brasilia (even parachuting almost into the jaws of a hungry croc).

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Even the most loyal admirer of Antonio Carlos “Tom” Jobim, the most internationally-recognized Brazilian artist and the person most responsible for turning bossa nova into a global sensation, cannot imagine the surprises they will encounter in this film. In this extraordinarily personal documentary directed by his wife Ana Lontra Jobim, Jobim speaks about his love for the nature of the Mata Atlantica and its influence on his music. In fact, his Rio home, the title of this film, is built on the edge of Rio’s Botanic Gardens which rise up the slopes of Corcovado. Shot in New York, Rio, and the family ranch in Poço Fundo, and incorporating previously unreleased material, the film shows intimate family moments, the birth of famous songs, parties at home with other musicians, and even Jobim in pajamas leading an “expedition” in the woods.

Featuring the participation of landscape artist Cecilia Beatriz da Veiga Soares, biologists Gustavo Martinelli and Henrique Rajão, and nature photographer João Quental, the documentary guides us through the diversity and exuberance of the flora and fauna of Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Botanical Garden. The Garden is located between the Floresta da Tijuca (Tijuca Forest) and urban Rio de Janeiro, consequently provoking reflection on the fate of a rainforest surrounded by city, the risks and challenges for its conservation, and the need for public awareness in order to preserve what remains of the native flora and fauna of Rio's Mata Atlantica.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Amazonia: The Awakening of Florestania is a documentary that discusses the ways in which the Amazon rainforest, and nature itself, has been treated in Brazil since the turn of the 20th century. Bringing together testimonies from many different sectors of Brazilian society, including those of indigenous leaders, environmentalists, representatives of the third sector, journalists, artists, intellectuals and many more, Amazonia: The Awakening of Florestania tracks the ideologies of those who have been fighting to preserve one of Brazil’s most precious legacies. The film leads to the rise of the concept of “Florestania," or “forestship” - a word that synthesizes concepts of citizenship and forest rights to speak to something that may be, in many ways, the genetic code of humanity.

Argentina. 2004, 100 min. In Spanish and Italian with English subtitles). With Alejandro Urdapilleta, Alejandra Flechner, Gabriel Goity. Introduced by Guest Curator Itala Schmelz; with discussion after the screening Buy Tickets Set in the year 2068, Goodbye Dear Moon is a film with regional roots that doubles as a space opera. To save the earth from natural disasters and catastrophes, an Argentine scientist proposes to destroy the moon against the advice of the international community who has threatened to sanction Argentina. When a group of astronauts directed by the scientist attempt to bomb the moon from a rocket, the moon defends itself by sending out a mysterious force that makes the astronauts hallucinate. Reality suddenly becomes twisted, and the earthlings lose their sanity in a style reminiscent of Tarkovsky’s Solaris (1972). The film also touches on discourses surrounding womanhood and femininity: a female astronaut in the group falls in love with a powerful extraterrestrial being—an unknown spirit or God who takes the form of a tango dancer. They escape together while the spaceship is destroyed by the Argentinians.

Buy Tickets In this film, the imaginaries dominating science fiction—astronauts, alien sightings, and meteorites that threaten the end of the world—are staged in three parallel story lines. The protagonists are a Chilean scientist engaged in a secret NASA mission; an indigenous Bolivian woman whose grandfather transmits knowledge to her about pre-Hispanic cultures with extraterrestrial contacts; and a group of Costa Rican friends, including one who thinks he is an alien and another who is a devoted fan of science fiction and unsuccessfully pursues encounters of the third kind.

Buy Tickets Electrifying, revealing and timely, this documentary revisits a seminal event in Puerto Rico’s history: the ten days in October 1950 when one hundred people, members of the island’s Nationalist Party, took up arms to overthrow the rule of the United States and establish Puerto Rican sovereignty. The insurgents, outnumbered and ill-equipped, were crushed by the police and the National Guard, and either killed or imprisoned. Buttressed by archival film and photographs and animated reenactments, 1950: The Nationalist Uprising presents the testimonies of five Puerto Ricans who participated in this almost forgotten struggle. They speak about the consequences of the uprising on their lives, and the ideal of freedom that burns within them still. Preceded by AN EXCAVATION OF US (Shirley Bruno, Haiti, 2018, 11 min.) The shadows of Napoleon’s army fall upon their boat traveling through the mysterious cave named after Marie Jeanne, a female soldier who fought in the Haitian Revolution.

Buy Tickets Inspired by Chilean dissident Victor Jara, and Guyana’s connection to the Third Cinema movement, The Victor Jara Collective presents two seldom seen documentaries. The Terror and the Time (1978) focuses on the 1953 upheavals in what was then British Guiana. This documentary was essentially banned by the Guyanese government, and it would be five years before the collective made their second and final film, In the Sky’s Wild Noise (1983). A mid-length work, it features the late historian and activist Walter Rodney, author of the seminal book How Europe Underdeveloped Africa. A self-styled “guerrilla intellectual” whose thinking influenced the black power movements in the US and the Caribbean, Rodney was assassinated by a car bomb in Guyana in 1980.

Buy Tickets A rapturous crime fable set in the Dominican Republic’s Cocote follows Alberto, a kind-hearted gardener returning home to attend his father’s funeral. When he discovers that a powerful local figure is responsible for his father’s death, Alberto realizes that he’s been summoned by his family to avenge the murder. It’s an unthinkable act — especially for him, an Evangelical Christian. But as pressure mounts, he sees few ways out. Questions of faith, tradition and honor course through this electrifying film, which, seemingly at the speed of thought itself, jumps between film formats, colors, and aspect ratios, radically envisioning a community torn asunder by senseless violence.

In Spanish and Quechua with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Between 1982 and 2000, the Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso) waged a guerilla war in Peru, becoming one of the most brutal terrorist groups of the 20th century. The conflict began in the Ayacucho region, where many Andean people were victimized and killed. Photographers Vera Lentz, Alejandro Balaguer, and Oscar Medrano managed to capture the horror and pain this war caused—and now, years later, they revisit the subjects and locales captured in their photos. Volver a ver tells a story that is not often told, about the tragedies that took place in Peru for nearly two decades, using the lens of art to reveal memories that question an official history that elides the indigenous contribution to the peace process.

Over the course of three months nearly 1,000 British and Argentine soldiers lost their lives in a war for sovereignty. Blurring the lines between reality and fiction, this unorthodox documentary focuses on the damaging effects the Falklands War had on six of its soldiers. Through the use of theatrical performance, reenactment, music, and storytelling, Theatre of War revisits a kind of universal turmoil.

New York Premiere) Q&A with Federico Veiroj Buy Tickets A clever and emotionally layered performance from Gonzalo Delgado is the heart of this fourth feature from Uruguayan auteur Federico Veiroj (The Apostate). With wry humor and an exquisite sense of place for Montevideo, Belmonte follows Javi (Delgado) at a crisis point in his life. He’s a successful painter in Uruguay’s capital city—presently exploring the tortured world of naked men while preparing an upcoming exhibition—but most of his time is spent working through strained relationships with his elderly parents, his pregnant ex-wife, and their 10-year-old daughter, Celeste (Olivia Molinaro Eijo). As in his second feature, A Useful Life, Veiroj demonstrates a deft ability to examine the art world with compelling ingenuity, this time through a genuinely funny and rich portrait of an artist pining for a luminous family life.

Using afro-descendent poetics in its dialogue and soundtrack—a combination of electro-funk and contemporary versions of ancient chants—Outer Edge follows its characters through a labyrinthine circuit of chance encounters to evoke a city haunted by its past. Belico and Marotta, along with director of photography Leonardo Feliciano (Araby), capture an atmosphere of madness and despair with an exquisite, clear-eyed sense of place.

In Spanish with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Buy Tickets Alfredo Ovando Candia was a military general who served as Co-President of Bolivia from 1965–66 (and again from 1969–70) after overthrowing sitting President Víctor Paz Estenssoro. His political and military service connected him to the largest massacre of workers in the country’s history, as well as the military campaign in which Che Guevara was killed. Incorporating archival footage recorded during Ovando’s de facto government, home movies, and interviews with relatives, filmmaker Mauricio Alfredo Ovando’s debut feature studies the many profiles of his grandfather to juxtapose his family’s memories with the official history. Winner of the Best Director and FIPRESCI awards at the 2018 Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema, Still Burn is a courageous, perceptive documentary about how collective and personal memories are created from—and ultimately shape—a complicated legacy. Screening with PUNKY EYE (Ojo malcriado, Luis Arnías, Venezuela/USA, 2018, 15 min. In Spanish with English subtitles.

In Spanish with English subtitles. New York premiere) Q&A with Julio Hernández Cordón Buy Tickets The seventh film by Meso-American filmmaker Julio Hernández Cordón (I Promise You Anarchy) is a harrowing, blistering vision of 21st-century Mexico. In the near future, when women are endangered and the only order comes from the lawless and elusive cartel, a young girl named Huck (Matilde Hernández Guinea) must hide her gender in order to help her tormented drug addict father (Rogelio Sosa) manage an abandoned baseball field. Absurdist, macabre, and exhilarating, this highlight from the 2018 Cannes Directors’ Fortnight is like a cross between The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Mad Max, told through Hernández Cordón’s lo-fi futurist visual style.

North American Premiere) Q&A with Camila José Donoso Buy Tickets As with her previous features, Naomi Campbel and Casa Roshell, Chilean filmmaker Camila José Donoso’s richly detailed film fully immerses the viewer in its world, mixing digital, video, and 16mm to portray its beautifully ambivalent subject. At 66, Nona (Josefina Ramirez, José Donoso’s grandmother) lives alone and is recuperating from cataract surgery while a mysterious fire rages across southern Chile and generates unrest in her otherwise sleepy town. Capturing her routines and relationships while folding in past memories and a violent pathology with the present, Nona.

It begins with Mary, a young girl who hides in a mysterious house in southern Chile after escaping from a sect of German religious fanatics. Using stop-motion techniques and combining elements of various fables, photography, drawing, sculpture, and stage performance, Joaquín Cociña and Cristóbal León have created a nightmarish shapeshifter of a film.

In Aymara with English subtitles, New York Premiere) Buy Tickets In Óscar Catacora’s acclaimed debut feature—the first Peruvian movie shot entirely in the Aymara language—an elderly couple living in a remote part of the Andes faces the challenges of daily life with courage and determination. Like the protagonist couple in Ozu’s Tokyo Story, Willka and Phaxsi stoically carry the sadness of being forgotten by their long-absent son, and yearn for him to return home from the city. With magnificent cinematography, this landmark film delicately draws the emotional story of the filmmaker’s grandparents, who taught him Aymara when he was sent by his parents to live with them at age seven.

In Spanish with English subtitles. North American Premiere) Q&A with Iván Fund Buy Tickets A remarkable ensemble of young nonprofessional actors leads Argentine director Iván Fund’s latest feature—an oneiric vision of the apocalypse in which a strange incident sends the adults of a working-class neighborhood into an everlasting slumber. Left to their own devices, the town’s children gradually adapt to a peculiar new world that remains largely undisturbed by mankind’s absence. Fund draws inspiration from Sara Teasdale’s 1918 poem of the same name, lucidly translating the imagery and themes of the original text into a lyrical film about the regenerative, blissful elements of nature in the aftermath of calamity.

In English and Spanish with English subtitles. World premiere) Buy Tickets In the 1970s, the Bronx was on fire. Left unprotected by the city government, nearly a half-million people were displaced as their close-knit, multiethnic neighborhood burned, reducing the community to rubble. While insidious government policies caused the devastation, Black and Latino residents bore the blame. In this story of hope and resistance, Bronx native Vivian Vazquez exposes the truth about the borough’s sordid history and reveals how her embattled and maligned community chose to resist, remain and rebuild.

In Spanish and English with English subtitles. New York premiere) Buy Tickets Joel-Peter Witkin is a celebrated photographer, known for dark tableaux full of disturbing images. His identical twin brother Jerome is an equally acclaimed figurative painter, whose work explores sociohistorical themes. These two gifted artists rarely communicate with one another, maintaining separate lives despite their shared upbringing.

Preceded by HEAVEN (Luiz Roque, Brazil, 2016, 10 min.) In an apocalyptic future, a “high-risk” population is under threat of deliberate contamination and forceful quarantine. Roque’s other works have screened internationally, including in New York at MoMA PS1 and at Kunsthalle, in Vienna.

In Spanish with English subtitles. Arizona Premiere) Presented with support from the UA Institute for LGBT Studies. Q&A with director Cristina Herrera Bórquez. Director Cristina Herrera Bórquez’s memorable documentary follows an unassuming same-sex couple, Víctor and Fernando, as they fight for the right to be married in their hometown of Mexicali, Baja California. As their struggle gets complicated and their case becomes public—winning them both allies and enemies—they become improbable media cause célèbres. With the filmmaker’s remarkable access to the epic story, No Dress Code Required is a rallying cry for equality, and a testament to the power of ordinary people to become agents of change. Wednesday, March 21, 6:15pm — Center for Creative Photography   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1520697299795-ESICY28I6JQDYJA0HWJA/Santo-contra-el-cerebro-del-mal-berlinale-2018.jpg Events - 15th Edition of Tucson Cine Mexico SANTO CONTRA CEREBRO DEL MAL / SANTO VS. THE EVIL BRAIN (Joselito Rodríguez, Mexico/Cuba, 1961 (original production year), 2017 (restoration), 70 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Starring: Rodolfo Guzmán "El Santo." In person: Filmmaker/Archivist Viviana Garcia Besné. Filmed in Cuba in 1961, Santo contre cerebro del mal is the first lucha libre film starring El Santo (Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta), the most iconic of all Mexican luchadores. In this film, the silver-masked hero foils the plot of a mad scientist to create a zombie army by zapping his innocent victims with electric shocks. Cerebro del mal sparked a long series of films – 52 in all – in which El Santo fights supernatural creatures, evil scientists, and various criminals and secret agents. Cut to 2017: the rapidly deteriorating original camera negatives are saved by archivist and filmmaker (and the producer’s granddaughter) Viviana Garcia Besné. Her mission: to rescue, preserve and reinterpret this and other Mexican films that have been despised by critics but loved by audiences. With assistance from director and archivist Nicolas Winding Refn, The Academy Film Archive and Cinema Preservation Alliance, the result is a stunning new digital restoration of this cult favorite. Doors open at 5:45pm for a pre-show celebration with DJ Dirtyverbs and Adam Cooper-Terán of Verbo•bala.

In Spanish with English subtitles. Arizona Premiere) Cast: Karina Gidi, Daniel Giménez Cacho, Tessa Ia, Pedro De Tavira. Q&A with director Natalia Beristáin. Boasting outstanding performances by Karina Gidi and Daniel Giménez Cacho, Natalia Beristáin’s second feature film is an unconventional biopic about the late Rosario Castellanos, one of Mexico’s top literary voices of the twentieth century. The film picks up her life in the 1950s when, as an introverted university student in Mexico City, she fights to have her voice heard in a society run by men. Winner of the Audience Award at the 2017 Morelia International Film Festival.

In Spanish with English subtitles. Arizona Premiere) Q&A with director Diego Ros. Salvador (Leonardo Alonso) works the night shift as a security guard in a construction site located on the outskirts of Mexico City. One evening, while the rest of the country celebrates a national holiday, Salvador repeatedly tries to leave the site in order to attend an important event, but a series of improbable situations turns the night into a bizarre and exhausting experience. The auspicious debut feature by Diego Ros is “a wonderfully atmospheric, slightly off-kilter piece through which evil gently and troublingly pulsates.” (Jonathan Holland, The Hollywood Reporter).

In Spanish with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Cast: Minnie West, Alejandro Speitzer, Joaquín Cosío, Silverio Palacios, Hector Kotsifakis. Q&A with director Beto Gómez. In this family-friendly box office hit from Mexico, Brayan Rodríguez, the innocent heir to a nouveau rich Sinaloa family, is sent to Mexico City to expand the mysterious family business. In the capital he meets Claudia, a spoiled millennial being pressured by her father to find a job, and their worlds collide. Appearances can be deceiving when hipster culture meets narco aesthetics in this deliciously subversive romantic screwball comedy starring Minnie West and Alejandro Speitzer in their charming feature film debuts, from director Beto Gómez (Saving Private Perez).

In Spanish with English subtitles. Arizona Premiere) Cast: Adriana Barraza. Accomplished documentarian Natalia Almada (Sundance Documentary Directing Award 2009) makes her fiction debut with Everything Else, starring Academy Award-nominated Adriana Barraza (Amores Perros, Babel). The film follows Doña Flor, a 63-year-old bureaucrat living in Mexico City who has worked in the same government office for 35 years, attending unsentimentally to people from all corners of Mexican society. When she loses the only living creature she cares for, she goes into crisis. With a keen directorial eye, impeccable framing, and inspired by Hannah Arendt’s idea that bureaucracy is one of the worst forms of violence, the story ultimately becomes a mesmerizing contemplation on solitude.

The Argentine success served as inspiration for many other Latin American countries, creating an impressive artistic outburst, and breaking film production and box office records throughout the region. Yet, aside from a few break-through films like City of God, Y Tu Mamá También and Amores Perros, Latin American cinema remains largely overlooked in the United States. Carlos Gutierrez, co-founding director of Cinema Tropical, the leading presenter of Latin American cinema in the U.S., will discuss the outstanding contemporary cinema coming from Latin America, and share exclusive trailers of upcoming films.

In Spanish with English subtitles. Arizona Premiere) Tatiana Huezo’s second documentary feature (after her acclaimed debut The Tiniest Place) recounts the story of two women: Miriam, who was wrongly accused of human trafficking and imprisoned in a jail controlled by a drug cartel, and Adela, a circus performer who has been looking for her kidnapped daughter for over a decade. Through a subjective and emotional journey, and with striking cinematography by Ernesto Pardo (nominated for an American Society of Cinematographers Award for his work on the film), Tempestad conveys the paralyzing power of fear and reflects the impact of the violence and impunity that afflict Mexico. Hailed as “a rich and original piece of work” (IndieWire), Tempestad was Mexico’s official entry to this year’s Oscars. Post-screening discussion with Ana Cornide, Assistant Professor, UA Department of Spanish and Portuguese.

U.S. Premiere / Director in Attendance Brasília is a bold urban experiment and a city unlike any other. Conceived in 1956 on an uninhabited site in the geographic center of Brazil, the city was intended to be a fresh start for the new political order, free from the messy colonial baggage of the previous capital, Rio de Janeiro. This atmospheric tribute to the sights and sounds of Brasília’s large-scale modernist achievement pans across urban vistas and images of city dwellers moving through the enormous spaces between buildings.

In Spanish with English subtitles) In the small sector of a Macondo-like island forgotten by the catastrophic effects of an economic depression and drug addiction, lives are pushed to the limit. A promising young boxer, a barren midwife, and a fat kid with a bike: three intersecting stories focus around the pursuit of happiness and its unanticipated consequences during the economic collapse of the island of Puerto Rico. Each actor in this modern day tragedy will ultimately discover how the pursuit of hope can dehumanize and expose underlying animal instincts. Winner of the Best First Film Award at the Guadalajara Film Festival and nominated for Best Foreign Language at the UK National Film Academy, La Granja held its world premiere at Fantastic Fest and had a successful film festival run playing at Tribeca, Raindance, Miami, among others. Soto’s acclaimed debut feature offers a timely and electrifying portrayal of the hardships and hopelessness of life in modern Puerto Rico, and heralds the arrival of an exciting new voice in Puerto Rican cinema. https://www.cinematropical.com/new-events/matas-pieiros-hermia-helena-opens-in-theaters monthly 0.5 2017-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1494606746347-V8HE75GMN5T53X2V9T5Q/image-asset.jpeg Events -

The film, which had its world premiere in the main Golden Shell competition at the San Sebastián Film Festival, is based on a true case. Set in Tucumán in 2014, it tells the story of a young woman who is admitted to a hospital with severe abdominal pain, unaware that she is pregnant. She wakes up handcuffed to a gurney and surrounded by police. Accused of having self-induced an abortion, she spends two years in detention before being sentenced to eight years in prison for aggravated homicide. A female lawyer from Tucumán fights for her freedom with the support of thousands of women and organizations who unite to change the course of history. In addition to Fonzi, the film stars Camila Plaate—who won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the San Sebastián Film Festival—Laura Paredes, Julieta Cardinali, Luis Machín, and César Troncoso. Dolores Fonzi’s second feature after Blondi is vying to become the third Argentine film to win the Academy Award for Best International Feature, after Juan José Campanella’s The Secret in Their Eyes and Santiago Mitre’s Argentina, 1985. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/ca5c34ba-5ad2-4840-9dc1-2aad862be2e8/la-casa-del-sur-pelicula-colombia.webp TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out BOLIVIA: THE SOUTHERN HOUSE / LA CASA DEL SUR Inspired by a real event, The Southern House / La casa del sur by Carina Oroza and Ramiro Fierro centers on Anita, a disoriented and melancholic chef who returns to Bolivia thirty years after she and her mother were held captive on a ranch in Kantutani during the country’s last dictatorship. What begins as a practical trip to sell the house she has inherited soon turns into an emotional reckoning. Once inside the long-abandoned home, Anita is confronted with echoes of the past she has tried to suppress. The house itself becomes an unsettling guide, offering fragments and traces that help her reconstruct the trauma she endured and illuminating the unresolved questions that continue to shape her life. As she delves deeper into these memories, Anita must decide not only how to move forward, but who she wants to be in the present. Although Bolivia has submitted eighteen films to the International Feature category since 1995, the country has yet to secure its first nomination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/439e653f-be27-4158-ab20-d46fd8759b45/THESECRETAGENT_Still_02.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out BRAZIL: THE SECRET AGENTE / O AGENTE SECRETO Starring Wagner Moura, The Secret Agent / O Agente Secreto is a political thriller is set in 1977 during Brazil’s military dictatorship and follows a former teacher who attempts to escape state surveillance while reckoning with the weight of memory and repression. The film had its world premiere in competition at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, where it won Best Director for Mendonça Filho, Best Actor for Moura, the FIPRESCI Prize, and the Art House Cinema Award. The selection comes on the heels of a historic year for Brazilian cinema: the country won the Oscar for Best International Feature Film last year with Walter Salles’ I’m Still Here / Ainda Estou Aqui, starring Academy Award–nominated actress Fernanda Torres, marking its first-ever victory in the category. Mendonça Filho’s candidacy extends Brazil’s momentum on the world stage and reinforces his reputation as one of the nation’s most vital contemporary voices, following celebrated works such as Aquarius, Bacurau (co-directed with Juliano Dornelles), and Pictures of Ghosts. Including last year’s win, Brazil has been nominated five times for Best International Film. This is the third time Mendonça Filho represents the South American country at the Oscars, following Neighboring Sounds in 2013 and Pictures of Ghosts in 2023. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/df7d0904-d915-42c8-ab98-235790c0b785/The-Mysterious-Gaze-of-the-Flamingo-film-still-1.webp TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out CHILE: THE MYSTERIOUS GAZE OF THE FLAMINGO / LA MISTERIOSA MIRADA DEL FLAMENCO Winner of the Un Certain Regard Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival, The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo /La misteriosa mirada del flamenco, the debut feature by Diego Céspedes is set in 1982. It follows 11-year-old Lidia, who lives with her beloved queer family in a desert mining town in northern Chile. As an unknown and deadly disease begins to spread, legend has it that it is transmitted between two men through a simple glance when they fall in love. While people accuse her family, Lidia must find out whether this myth is real or not. The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo is having a North American theatrical release by the hand of Altered Innocence, opening at the Roxy Theater in New York City starting Friday, December 12. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/0799677b-54d4-42c2-af0b-f9ee6e217bfe/Still-1-A-POET-UN-POETA.webp TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out COLOMBIA: A POET / UN POETA A Poet had its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard competition at the Cannes Film Festival last May, where it won the Jury Prize, and it has since become the top-grossing Colombian film of the year after its local release in August. The film has secured distribution in North America by 1-2 Special. Starring Ubeimar Rios, A Poet tells the story of Óscar Restrepo, whose obsession with poetry has brought him no glory. Aging and erratic, he has become the cliché of the poet in the shadows. Meeting a humble teenager and helping her cultivate her talent brings a flicker of light to his days, but drawing her into the world of poets may not be the right path. Colombia earned its first and only Oscar nomination in 2015 with Ciro Guerra’s Embrace of the Serpent / El abrazo de la serpiente, and was shortlisted in 2018 with Birds of Passage / Pájaros de verano, directed by Guerra in collaboration with Cristina Gallego. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/e54d80c8-ca75-4a16-86a3-e1740aabb8c9/El-monaguillo-el-cura-y-el-jardinero-expone-caso-de-abuso-que-conmociono-a-Costa-Rica.webp TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out COSTA RICA: THE ALTAR BOY, THE PRIEST AND THE GARDENER / EL MONAGUILLO, EL CURA Y EL JARDINERO Juan Manuel Fernández’s The Altar Boy, the Priest and the Gardener / El monaguillo, el cura y el jardinero is vying for Best International Film representing Costa Rica, and is also competing for Best Documentary. The film follows the testimonies and search for justice of two men who were sexually abused as children by the priest Mauricio Víquez Lizano. Their testimony sparks an unprecedented scandal in Costa Rica, forcing the priest to flee and turning him into a fugitive wanted by the law and Interpol. The Altar Boy, the Priest and the Gardener world premiered at the Costa Rica International Film Festival and becomes Costa Rica’s 14th submission to the Academy Awards—though the country is still awaiting its first nomination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/73f12e10-b056-4c27-ac79-6b8950746f68/66045254b8d44d417de0e796_Pablito.webp TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: PEPE Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director at the most recent Berlin Film Festival—marking the first time a Latin American filmmaker has received the honor—Pepe by Nelson Carlo de los Santos Arias takes a fascinating, highly unorthodox approach to the strange but true tale of the hippopotamuses that escaped from the menagerie of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar after his death in 1993. Left to fend for themselves, these animals reproduced and became the target of government sterilizers and poachers. The story unfolds from the perspective of a sentient hippo, Pepe, at the moment of its death. We hear the animal’s thoughts, voiced by a raspy narrator, as the film skips across time and continents, from Pepe’s native Namibia to Colombia’s Río Magdalena. Blurring nonfiction and fantasy, the film shuffles storytelling modes and cinematic textures. In its sympathetic inquiry and aesthetic muscularity, Pepe poses provocative questions about the ever-shifting ecological stakes of life on Earth and the nature of being. This is the second time de los Santos Arias represents his country at the Oscars, after his 2018 feature Cocote was selected. Since it began submitting films in 1983, the Caribbean nation has yet to receive a nomination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/54f081e2-8f11-4dde-8bd1-70e6b1682d8c/PORTADAS-1-12.png TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out ECUADOR: CHUZALONGO Chuzalongo, the folk horror film directed by Diego Ortuño, has been selected as the Ecuatorian entry for this year's Academy Award International Best Film race. Based on the traditional Andean legend "El Chuzalongo", which is represented as a child-elf who sexually assaults women. Set in a remote Andean town at the end of the 19th century, the film follows the arrival of a lost child to the community. The village priest decides to take care of him but discovers that the only way to keep the child alive is to feed him with human blood. Starring Bruno Odar, Wolframio Sinué, and Aléx Cisneros, Chuzalongo had its World Premiere at the 20th Fantaspoa (Porto Alegre International Fantastic Film Festival) and marks the 13th Oscar submission for the South American nation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/6a8d9009-e5bc-41ba-80ea-556cb9fc3c41/Kidnapping-Inc.webp TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out HAITI: KIDNAPPING, INC. Kidnapping, Inc., the debut feature by Bruno Mourral, is an action-packed and darkly comic crime adventure that had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January of this year. Set in Port‑au‑Prince, the film follows a group of kidnappers who seize the son of a wealthy presidential candidate. Doc and Zoe, two amateur gangsters charged with delivering the young man to their ruthless boss, find themselves in deeper trouble when Zoe accidentally kills the hostage. Panicked, the pair cross paths with Patrick and his very pregnant wife Laura—only to realize that Patrick looks exactly like the senator’s dead son. In desperation, Doc and Zoe abduct the couple and devise a plan to pass Patrick off as the kidnapped heir. Kidnapping, Inc. marks only the third time the Caribbean nation has submitted a film to the Academy Awards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/913cf14a-9677-4784-a847-2e15229b7350/WeShallNotBeMoved.3.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out MEXICO: WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED / NO NOS MOVERÁN Winner of four Ariel Awards, for Best First Feature, Original Screenplay, Actress, and Breakthrough Performance, We Shall Not Be Moved tells the story of Socorro—played by Luisa Huertas in a tour-de-force performance—a retired lawyer consumed by her obsession to find the soldier who killed her brother during the student protests of October 2, 1968, when demands for democracy and justice were brutally silenced in Mexico City’s Tlatelolco Square. Nearly six decades later, her relentless pursuit has fractured her relationships with her sister, Esperanza, and her son, Jorge. When a new clue emerges, Socorro sets out on a perilous quest for vengeance, putting her family, her legacy, and her own life in jeopardy. Shot in striking black and white, director Pierre Saint Martin delivers a powerful and intimate reflection on the enduring wounds of Mexico’s modern history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/9676b0ee-cdce-4ac3-bd83-c2084531aa48/QueridoTropico1.webp TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out PANAMA: BELOVED TROPIC / QUERIDO TRÓPICO Querido Trópico (Beloved Tropic) by Ana Endara stars Chilean actress Paulina García (Gloria) and Colombian actress Jenny Navarrete (The Other Son), and is set in Panama City. This tender, atmospheric drama explores the evolving relationship between two lonely souls who form an unexpected bond. Ana María, a Colombian immigrant working as a home caregiver while harboring a secret, crosses paths with Mercedes, a high-society woman grappling with encroaching dementia that is slowly erasing her identity and past. As they navigate the challenges of caregiving and the search for human connection, they learn to care for one another amid their personal struggles. Like the unpredictable Panamanian weather, this luminous drama shimmers with tropical textures and moments of quiet revelation. The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and has since screened at festivals worldwide. While Panama has yet to secure an Oscar nomination, it came close in 2021 when Abner Benaim’s Plaza Catedral reached the shortlist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/539b9197-6068-43c3-9a48-cad7fdfd6cbe/FLAGS1.webp TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out PARAGUAY: UNDER THE FLAGS, THE SUN / BAJO LAS BANDERAS, EL SOL The Paraguayan Film Academy has announced that filmmaker Juanjo Pereira will represent the country with his debut documentary feature Under the Flags, the Sun / Bajo las banderas, el sol. The film had its world premiere at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year, in the Panorama section, where it won the FIPRESCI jury prize. A fully archival journey through the 35 years of Alfredo Stroessner’s dictatorship, Under the Flags, the Sun uncovers long-forgotten propaganda films, newsreels, and broadcasts to expose the machinery of control that shaped Paraguay’s national identity and upheld the cult of Stroessner. This cinematic excavation reveals how media manipulated memory, fueled Cold War alliances, and sustained oppression—traces of a past whose influence still lingers today. Pereira's film marks Paraguay’s ninth Oscar submission, though the country has yet to secure a nomination. Previous entries, such as The Heiresses / Las herederas (2018) by Marcelo Martinessi, have garnered international acclaim, highlighting Paraguay's growing presence in global cinema. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/89c3283f-f360-4aef-8392-c157aa14aa93/64BPNWYKYJDFTBBNY3RV2FROMU.webp TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out PERU: KINRA / MOTHERLAND Winner of the Golden Astor for Best Film at the 2023 Mar del Plata International Film Festival, where it had its world premiere, the Quechuan drama Kinra (Motherland)—the debut feature by Marco Panatonic—was also a six-time winner at the 28th Lima Film Festival, including Best First Film. Told in Quechua and Spanish, Kinra follows a young man’s internal struggle between his Andean roots and the pull of urban life as he pursues engineering studies in Cusco. Although he finds friends who welcome him along his journey, he cannot forget his family or the land where he grew up. Returning is the only path he sees, even if it means beginning again, for his heart remains divided—just like his country.

The film follows Adela, 39, who is confronted with the sudden loss of her best friend, Elena. At Elena's funeral, Adela feels detached from the rituals, sensing the absurdity of bidding farewell to someone so dear. Overwhelmed by grief and the looming void in her future, Adela becomes an unexpected time traveler. Transported to a decade earlier, Adela reunites with a vibrant Elena at a beach house, joined by their friend Luci and her baby boy Paco. Amidst the backdrop of laughter, music, and shared memories, the trio embarks on a weekend filled with joy and nostalgia. But as the inevitable goodbye approaches, Adela clings to the fleeting moments and the newfound sense of companionship. What begins as a weekend of laughter, music, and shared memories turns into an extraordinary journey when baby Paco discovers a gateway that allows them to extend their time together. Amidst this timeless interlude, Adela finds solace, renewed connection, and a profound understanding of friendship and love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/7bfb4a57-aad3-4dbb-801d-6bb135391403/image-w1280.webp TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out VENEZUELA: ALÍ PRIMERA The biopic film Alí Primera, directed by Daniel Yegrez, retraces the life of the Venezuelan singer-songwriter, poet, and political activist whose work made him the most committed voice of his people and a central figure in the movement for the “necessary song.” Starring Eduardo González as Alí Primera, the film revisits the historical moments that earned him the moniker “the people’s singer” and positioned him at the forefront of the country’s largest artistic movement advocating for the dispossessed. It is a portrait of his loves and his pains, of the songs shaped by his unyielding convictions, following him from his childhood in the desert landscapes of western Venezuela to his tragic end. Venezuela has yet to earn an Oscar nomination; the country came closest in 2014, when Alberto Arvelo’s epic The Liberator / Libertador advanced to the shortlist for Best International Feature. https://www.cinematropical.com/cinema-tropical/mexicos-oscar-entry-we-shall-not-be-moved-named-one-of-the-years-best-international-films-by-new-york-film-critics-online monthly 0.5 2025-12-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/662eea3a-1a35-49cd-842a-0611750c1660/WeShallNotBeMoved.3.jpg TropicalFRONT -

Set in Mexico City in the nineties, as crowds prepare to welcome Pope John Paul II, the Palacios López children are left waiting for someone who never returns—their mother. While their father sets off in search of his missing wife, the five siblings remain behind under the erratic care of their grandmother Romana, in a household where superstition and fear begin to take root. Winner of the Best First Feature Award at the Berlin Film Festival, Ernesto Martínez Bucio’s remarkable and beguiling debut captures the uncanny blur between childhood fantasy and haunting reality. Mixing the intimacy of home movies with the disquiet intensity of its framing, the film weaves a portrait of a family teetering between devotion and madness, innocence and dread. Elevated by luminous performances from its young, non-professional cast, it is a tender yet unsettling tale of abandonment, belief, and the invisible forces that shape a generation. www.cinematucson.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/b4a8ba70-e7bd-48ff-ad30-6e934d1b272e/Screenshot+2025-09-15+at+11-18-30+CineFest+Latino+Boston+Film+Festival.png TropicalFRONT - List of US Latinx and Latin American Film Festivals: Hispanic Heritage Month 2025 - Make it stand out CINEFEST LATINO BOSTON Boston, MA: September 24 — 28 CineFest Latino Boston is an annual film festival conducted in Boston, highlighting stories by and about Latinos.

For Your Consideration: Meet the Latin American Academy Award Contenders of 2025 - Make it stand out ARGENTINA: KILL THE JOCKEY / EL JOCKEY Kill the Jockey stars Nahuel Pérez Biscayart (120 Beats per Minute) as Remo Manfredini, a jockey whose self-destructive tendencies begin to eclipse his talent, jeopardizing both his career and personal life. After a life-threatening accident on race day, he vanishes, embarking on a transformative journey through the city, fleeing from both his identity and a dangerous criminal underworld. The film also features Úrsula Corberó, Mexican actor Daniel Giménez Cacho, and Chilean actress Mariana Di Girólamo. Argentina is the only Latin American country to have won twice the Oscar for Best International Feature (previously known as Best Foreign-Language Film): in 1985 with Luis Puenzo’s The Official Story / La historia oficial and in 2009 with Juan José Campanella’s The Secret in Their Eyes / El secreto de sus ojos. In total, the South American country has nabbed seven nominations, more recently for Damian Szafrón’s Wild Tales / Relatos salvajes in 2014. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/41f6db29-c4e5-4f71-8ce5-20f125c2aff3/MANO%2BPROPIA.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet the Latin American Academy Award Contenders of 2025 - Make it stand out BOLIVIA: OWN HAND / MANO PROPIA Own Hand, a social drama based on real events, addresses the issue of lynchings in the country, portraying a violent incident from 2013. The film is adapted from the award-winning chronicle Tribes of the Inquisition by journalist Roberto Navia, which had a profound impact on director Gory Patiño and inspired him to bring the story to the screen. Starring Alejandro Marañón and Freddy Chipana, Own Hand follows the tragic events in the Tropics of Cochabamba, where a crowd executed a group of people wrongly accused of stealing a truck. Though the film is set in a fictional town, the problem of lynchings remains relevant in Bolivia, with a recent similar episode occurring in the very square where the original events took place. Although Bolivia has submitted 17 films for the International Feature category since 1995, the country has yet to secure a nomination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/ec320297-0a30-427c-a1b0-4169da0281e6/ezgif-7-7a6cc278b4.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet the Latin American Academy Award Contenders of 2025 - Make it stand out BRAZIL: I’M STILL HERE / AINDA ESTOU AQUI I’m Still Here, the latest film by acclaimed director Walter Salles and starring Fernanda Montenegro, Maeve Jinkings, Fernanda Torres, and Selton Mello, tells the true story of the Paiva family and their five children. In 1970s Rio de Janeiro, during the military dictatorship, former deputy Rubens Paiva was taken from his home by soldiers for interrogation and was never seen again. The search for the truth lasted 30 long years, but just as answers began to emerge, Eunice Paiva, his wife, began showing the first signs of Alzheimer's disease. This marks the fourth time Salles has secured Brazil’s Oscar candidacy, following Exposure (1991), Central Station (1998), and Behind the Sun (2001). Salles aims to bring Brazil its fifth nomination, having already earned one for Central Station, which was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, with its lead, Fernanda Montenegro, also receiving a Best Actress nomination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/2bb12444-fe00-47e2-af7d-0fbde5fad357/xWhatsApp_Image_2024-08-19_at_12.26.56.jpeg.pagespeed.ic.o5zbAYjIPr.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet the Latin American Academy Award Contenders of 2025 - Make it stand out CHILE: IN HER PLACE / EL LUGAR DE LA OTRA In Her Place, the debut fiction film by acclaimed documentarian Maite Alberdi, is a gripping drama based on a true story. Set in Chile in 1955, the film follows a popular writer who murders her lover, captivating a shy secretary and sparking an unexpected connection between the two women. Despite their different backgrounds and professions, both women confront the complexities of being a woman in a society that renders them invisible. Alberdi became the first woman from Chile to be nominated for an Oscar in 2021 for The Mole Agent / El agente topo and was nominated again this year for The Eternal Memory / La memoria infinita, both in the Best Documentary Feature category. This marks the second time the Chilean Film Academy has selected a film directed by Alberdi to represent the country in the Best International Feature competition, following The Mole Agent, which was shortlisted. Chile won the Oscar for Best International Feature in 2018 with Sebastián Lelio’s A Fantastic Woman / Una mujer fantástica, and the country earned a nomination in 2013 for Pablo Larraín’s No. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/12517465-a6bf-4cc3-9da0-2e76f83a8aee/La-Suprema_Still-01_1200-600.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet the Latin American Academy Award Contenders of 2025 - Make it stand out COLOMBIA: LA SUPREMA La Suprema, the debut feature by Felipe Holguín Caro, follows Laureana, an Afro-Colombian teenager living in La Suprema, a town in the Colombian Caribbean erased from the country’s maps, where electricity has yet to arrive. When she discovers that her uncle, Anastasio Páez, will fight for the world boxing title in an event broadcast live on television, she tries to convince Efraín, Páez’s former trainer, to train her to box professionally. The biggest obstacle to her ambitions is her grandmother, Pabla, who—under the pretext of wanting to protect her—tries to impose her will. Colombia earned its first and only Oscar nomination in 2015 with Ciro Guerra’s Embrace of the Serpent / El abrazo de la serpiente, and was shortlisted in 2018 with Birds of Passage /Pájaros de verano, also directed by Guerra, this time in collaboration with Cristina Gallego. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/dca1d3af-735f-4d04-9245-9ce2fcfe67e4/ezgif-4-e7f42fac6d.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet the Latin American Academy Award Contenders of 2025 - Make it stand out COSTA RICA: MEMORIES OF A BURNING BODY / MEMORIAS DE UN CUERPO QUE ARDE Memories of a Burning Body, the sophomore feature film by director Antonella Sudasassi, follows Ana, Patricia, and Mayela, three women raised in a repressive era where sexuality was taboo, and their understanding of womanhood was shaped by unspoken rules and implicit impositions. Now, their fearless voices converge in a 65-year-old woman, who revisits a kaleidoscopic life filled with intertwined memories, secrets, and hidden desires. Memories of a Burning Body marks Costa Rica’s 13th submission to the Academy Awards, though the Central American country has yet to receive a nomination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/91d4eb25-76ee-4b0f-bea9-e9bc33286eaa/c6a01752-f0e7-4b08-813c-efced2c77ff9.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet the Latin American Academy Award Contenders of 2025 - Make it stand out DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: AIRE, JUST BREATHE / AIRE The dystopian sci-fi drama Aire, Just Breathe, the fifth feature film by director Leticia Tonos, starring Sophie Gaëlle, Paz Vega, and Jalsen Santana, follows a biologist’s quest to save what’s left of humanity by using artificial intelligence to inseminate herself. Winner of The Fantastic Pavilion Award at Cannes, Aire, Just Breathe is set in the year 2147. In this dystopian future, men have been rendered sterile by a virus, pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. Tania, a biologist, seeks to inseminate herself with the help of VIDA, an AI system. Her mission takes a dramatic turn when Azarias, one of the last surviving men and a traveler with a dark past, unexpectedly arrives. This is the fourth time Leticia Tonos has secured the Dominican Republic’s Oscar submission, following Love Child (2011), Cristo Rey (2014), and A State of Madness (2024). The Caribbean island nation has yet to earn its first Oscar nomination for Best International Feature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/026879fb-edb5-4055-be32-f1313e90293d/PORTADAS-2-8.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet the Latin American Academy Award Contenders of 2025 - Make it stand out ECUADOR: BEHIND THE MIST / AL OTRO LADO DE LA NIEBLA Sebastián Cordero will represent the South American nation for the third time in the Best International Feature competition at the Oscars with his newest production, the documentary Behind the Mist. Cordero previously submitted Chronicles / Crónicas in 2004 and Such Is Life in the Tropics / Sin muertos no hay carnaval in 2016 as Ecuador's official Oscar entries. In Behind the Mist, Cordero follows Ecuadorean climber Iván Vallejo during his ascent to the top of Mount Everest. However, as they climb higher, their visions of the film begin to diverge dramatically—and dangerously. In 1999, Vallejo became the first Ecuadorean to summit Mount Everest twice without supplemental oxygen. That same year, Cordero premiered his first film at the Venice Film Festival. Two decades later, they embark on a collaboration to document not just the ascent of a mountain, but also a career—a perilous and at times transcendental journey of self-discovery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/30e03018-c413-43fd-b49a-2720575f4a9b/RITA%2B-%2BStill%2B1.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet the Latin American Academy Award Contenders of 2025 - Make it stand out GUATEMALA: RITA Rita, from Guatemalan writer-director Jayro Bustamante (Ixcanul, La Llorona), is a dark fantasy set in a magical realist world and based on the true story behind one of Guatemala’s most harrowing tragedies. While fleeing a neglectful household, thirteen-year-old Rita is placed in an oppressive state-run orphanage. Her arrival provides a glimmer of hope to the girls inside, who share a prophecy that an angel will appear to release them. Encouraged by one another, the girls plan an escape to claim their freedom and expose the orphanage’s abuses. This marks the third time that Bustamante represented Guatemala at the Oscars after Ixcanul in 2016 and La Llorona in 2021, which was shortlisted in the Academy’s international feature film category. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/4b609189-89f0-4723-acbe-b8c68dbacc66/ezgif-7-1f4e2c303c.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet the Latin American Academy Award Contenders of 2025 - Make it stand out MEXICO: SUJO Sujo, directed by Astrid Rondero and Fernanda Valadez, tells the story of a four-year-old boy, the beloved son of a murdered cartel gunman from a small Mexican town. Orphaned and in danger, Sujo narrowly escapes death with the help of his aunt, who raises him in the isolated countryside. Despite the hardship, poverty, and the constant peril tied to his father’s legacy, Sujo survives. As he enters his teens, a rebellious streak awakens within him, leading him to join the local cartel as a rite of passage. In his adulthood, Sujo tries to break free from the violence that has surrounded him, but his father’s past continues to haunt him, forcing him to confront a seemingly inevitable fate. Mexico has earned nine Oscar nominations in the Best International Feature category, winning its first Oscar in 2019 with Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma. In recent years, the country has maintained a strong presence in the category, earning shortlist spots with Fernando Frías’ I’m No Longer Here, Tatiana Huezo’s Prayers for the Stolen, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, and Lila Avilés’ Tótem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/efb19417-0268-49e6-bba9-078a14e982b7/imagen_181-7296936_20240613182536.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet the Latin American Academy Award Contenders of 2025 - Make it stand out PANAMA: WAKE UP MOM / DESPIERTA MAMÁ Wake Up Mom, the action-thriller and sophomore film directed, written, produced, and starred by Arianne Benedetti (Beyond Brotherhood), focuses on the odyssey a mother undertakes when her daughter mysteriously disappears, after suffering an accident in the town where they live.

The Last follows three skeptical ecologists—an ornithologist, an entomologist, and the director himself—on a journey to Paraguay’s last virgin forests, where they engage in passionate debates about the future of our species. As a massive wildfire threatens the area, the travelers confront the inevitability of their conclusions with irony and dark humor. The Last marks Paraguay’s eighth Oscar submission, though the country has yet to secure a nomination. Previous entries, such as The Heiresses / Las herederas (2018) by Marcelo Martinessi, have garnered international acclaim, highlighting Paraguay's growing presence in global cinema. With The Last, Peña Escobar brings an urgent environmental message wrapped in a unique cinematic approach, further cementing Paraguay’s evolving contributions to the world of film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/ec7d51d9-16a2-4974-8b0b-136b6b8011e5/0009_0.-Principal-Yana-Wara.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet the Latin American Academy Award Contenders of 2025 - Make it stand out PERU: YANA-WARA Yana-Wara is Peru’s official entry for Best International Feature at the 97th Academy Awards.

As danger closes in and relationships with her family become fractured, she's forced deeper into a chilling world of dark magic that threatens to consume her. A group of witches emerge that could be her only hope for safety and salvation, but not without grave risk.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Available on Sling TV, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Google Play, Vudu, Apple TV, The Roku Channel Indignant retired general Enrique finally faces frail for the genocidal massacre of thousands of Mayans decades ago. As a horde of angry protestors threatens to invade their opulent home, the women of the house —his haughty wife, conflicted daughter, and precocious granddaughter—weigh their responsibility to shield the erratic, senile Enrique against the devastating truths being publicly revealed and the increasing sense that a wrathful supernatural force is targeting them for his crimes. Meanwhile, much of the family’s domestic staff flees, leaving only loyal housekeeper Valeriana until a mysterious young Indigenous maid arrives. A tale of horror and magical realism, the film reimagines the iconic Latin American fable as an urgent metaphor of Guatemala’s recent history and tears open the country’s unhealed political wounds to grieve a seldom discussed crime against humanity. La Llorona marks Bustamante’s third feature and demonstrates his continued efforts to highlight social inequality in his native Guatemala following his previous titles Temblores (2019) and Ixcanul (2016). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/b9d8a96c-2bae-4dd3-9a19-7fead36d3140/MV5BM2Q5YjM3MmItMzgyOS00YTEwLWI4YzUtNjU1MDcwZDE2OGY3XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTIyODMzMzA%40._V1_.jpg TropicalFRONT - Five Essential Latin American Horror Films for a Spooky Halloween WHEN EVIL LURKS / CUANDO ACECHA LA MALDAD Directed by Demián Rugna (Argentina, 2023, 99 min.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Available on OVID.tv and TUBI Filmmakers Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra’s second collaboration (after the acclaimed Hard Labor) deftly integrates art-house and genre cinema to create a thrilling and dark gothic fable with sharp social commentary. Set in São Paulo, the film follows Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of the city who is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana to be the nanny of her soon to be born child. Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans. With powerful visuals and impeccable cinematography, Good Manners is Disney meets Jacques Tourneur, an unexpected and wild werewolf movie unlike any other, and a poignant class and racial allegory on modern-day Brazilian society. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/a6d74187-a6ad-499a-87e2-c4b1dec5588a/TheWolfHouse2.jpg TropicalFRONT - Five Essential Latin American Horror Films for a Spooky Halloween THE WOLF HOUSE / LA CASA LOBO A film by Cristóbal León and Joaquín Cociña (Chile, 2018, 72 min. In Spanish and German with English subtitles) Available on OVID.tv Combining stop-motion techniques, painting, and photography, this exquisitely handcrafted animation feature tells the story of Maria, a young woman who finds refuge in a house in the south of Chile after escaping from a sect of German religious fanatics. She is welcomed into the home by two pigs, the only inhabitants of the place. Like in a dream, the universe of the house reacts to Maria’s feelings, morphing and changing around her. The animals transform slowly into humans and the house becomes a nightmarish world. Inspired by the actual case of Colonia Dignidad during Chile’s darkest years under Augusto Pinochet, The Wolf House masquerades as an animated fairy tale produced by the leader of the sect in order to indoctrinate its followers. https://www.cinematropical.com/cinema-tropical/anthology-film-archives-to-homage-mexican-experimental-filmmaker-ricardo-nicolayevsky monthly 0.5 2024-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/45967c5a-1f45-4e94-a128-73b3433cfa0a/Ricardo%2B02%2B%281%29.jpg TropicalFRONT -

The incomparable Cuban-born star Ninón Sevilla (Aventurera, Victims of Sin) plays Rita, as a young woman from a small coastal village in Veracruz and the daughter of a poor fisherman. To pay off her father's debts, she leaves her town and is exploited by several men, including a married politician who turns her into a famous dancing star—all while relentlessly seeking to reunite with her true love.

For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out Argentina: THE DELINQUENTS Argentina has selected Rodrigo Moreno’s heist movie The Delinquents / Los delincuentes, which had its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard competition at the Cannes Film Festival, and had its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, followed by the New York Film Festival. MUBI released the film in US theaters last October. Starring Esteban Bigliardi, Daniel Elías and Margarita Molfino, The Delinquents tells the story of Morán, a bank employee in Buenos Aires who dreams up a risky plan to free himself and his co-worker Román from the shackles of working life: Morán will steal enough cash from the bank to fund their retirement if Román hides the money for him after he confesses and serves prison time; in three years’ time, they’ll reunite, split the cash, and never have to work again. Departing to the countryside to fulfill his side of the deal, the less adventurous Román finds himself transformed by Morán’s idyllic vision of economic liberation far from the rigors of urban life. But what is the true cost of freedom? From writer-director Moreno (two-time Berlin Golden Bear nominee The Custodian, A Mysterious World) comes an existential probe into the work-life balance and what happens when it’s shattered and replaced with something radical and new. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/02984013-303e-4512-a7e1-6c45519a7be1/TheVisitor1.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out Bolivia: THE VISITOR The Bolivian Association of Filmmakers selected The Visitor / El visitante, the fourth feature by director Martín Boulocq, as the country’s official candidate. An introspective look at family relationships, class disparity, and the increasingly-dominant presence of Evangelism in Bolivia, The Visitor had its world premiere at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival. Set in the city of Cochabamba, the film tells the story of Humberto (in an impressive performance by newcomer Enrique Aráoz), an ex-convict who makes a modest living by singing at wakes. Humberto’s greatest desire is to rebuild his relationship with his estranged daughter and provide her with a decent life, but the grandparents of the child—wealthy Evangelical pastors—are not willing to give up custody of their only granddaughter. Financially and ideologically bullied into a corner, Humberto is forced to face his own demons while simultaneously fighting a powerful ecclesiastical institution to which he once belonged. The Visitor marks the 16th candidate that Bolivia has submitted to the Oscars since 1995, but the South American country has not received yet a nomination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/b8e66518-9866-4ed5-b05b-9de774132d0a/picturesofghosts_hero.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out Brazil: PICTURES OF GHOSTS The documentary Picture of Ghosts / Retratos Fantasmas, the fifth feature by director Kleber Mendonça Filho, is this year’s Brazilian Oscar contender. A multidimensional journey through time, sound, architecture and filmmaking, the film is set in the urban landscape of Recife. The Brazilian coastal capital of Pernambuco is a historical and human territory, examined through the great movie theaters that served as spaces of conviviality during the 20th century. Having hosted dreams and progress, these places have also embodied a major transformation on social practices. Combining archive documentary, mystery, film clips and personal memories, Picture of Ghosts is a map of a city through the lens of cinema. Pictures of Ghosts had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last May, and it had its North American premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, followed by its US premiere at the New York Film Festival. The film was acquired by Grasshopper Film for North American distribution. This marks the second time that Mendonça Filho represents his country at the Academy Awards after his debut fiction film Neighboring Sounds was selected in 2013. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/83d5a0bb-78da-4663-b639-5cd6e725ba1b/THE+SETTLERS+-+Still+1+-+%C2%A9+2023+Quijote+Films+-+Rampante+Films+-+Rei+Cine+-+Quiddity+Films+-+Volos+Films+-+Cine-Sud+Promotion+-+Snowglobe+-+Film+I+Va%CC%88st+-+Sutor+Kolonko.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out Chile: THE SETTLERS The Chilean Academy of Film has selected Felipe Gálvez’s debut feature The Settlers / Los colonos as its candidate for the Academy Awards. The anti-colonialist western had its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard competition at the last edition of the Cannes Film Festival, and it also played at the Toronto and New York film festivals. Starring Mark Stanley, Camilo Arancibia, Benjamin Westfall, and Alfredo Castro, the period piece is set in the south of Chile in 1901, and tells the story of a wealthy landowner that hires three horsemen to mark out the perimeter of his property and open a route to the Atlantic Ocean across Patagonia. The expedition, composed of a young Chilean mestizo, an American mercenary, and a reckless British lieutenant, soon turns into a “civilizing” raid. MUBI will theatrically release the film on January 12, 2024 in New York and Los Angeles, followed by a national rollout. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/6a5f6f24-91de-430f-883d-042017241508/Varon-un-1-Hernandez_1920_0003_Varon-un-2-Hernandez.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out Colombia: UN VARÓN Un varón (A Male), has been announced by the Colombian Academy of Cinematography Arts and Sciences as the South American country’s representative. The debut feature by Fabián Hernández had its world premiere at Cannes Directors’ Fortnight in 2022, and has participated in numerous film festivals including San Sebastian, Lima, and Sao Paulo. Starring Felipe Ramírez Espitia, the Colombian drama follows Carlos, who lives in a youth shelter in Bogotá’s downtown, a refuge meant to help mitigate the harshness of life. It's Christmas and Carlos longs to spend the day with his family. As he leaves the shelter for the holidays, Carlos is confronted with the brutality of his neighborhood, ruled by the law of the strongest—the alpha male. Carlos must also prove he can be one of them, while deep inside him, these expressions of masculinity clash with the decisions he must make in order to survive. Colombia is looking to get its second Oscar nomination after Ciro Guerra’s Embrace of the Serpent in 2015. Un varón is currenly having a one-week run at Cinema Village in New York City, distributed by Cinema Tropical. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/076a9ece-f1c7-48a9-a7a4-608c4466d125/Tengosuenoselectricos.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out Costa Rica: I HAVE ELECTRIC DREAMS Valentina Maurel’s acclaimed debut feature I Have Electric Dreams / Tengo sueños eléctricos is this year’s Costa Rican candidate. The award-winning debut feature by writer-director Maurel focuses on Eva, a 16-year-old girl who lives with her mother, her younger sister, and their cat, but who wants to move in with her estranged father. Clinging onto him, she seeks balance between the tenderness and rebellion of teenage life. Bathed in richly textured imagery and soaked in raw sensitivity, the film captures the thin line between love and hate, in a world where aggression and rage are intertwined with the vertigo of female sexual awakening. I Have Electric Dreams had its world premiere at the Locarno Film Festival, where it won three of the top prizes: for Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress. The film was also the winner of the Best Latin American Film at the San Sebastian Film Festival. I Have Electric Dreams becomes the 12th Oscar submission from the Central American country since Esteban Ramírez’s Caribe was selected in 2005 as the first Costa Rican contender. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/a5e20d7b-41fc-4708-83a3-780cbc59c682/1.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out Dominican Republic: CUARENCENA The Caribbean nation has selected the black comedy Cuarencena as its Oscar contender. Written and directed by David Maler and starring Nashla Bogaert, Frank Perozo, Luis José Germán, Soraya Pina, and Joshua Wagner, the film tells the story of a five-star chef and his wife who, in the middle of a pandemic, will host a soiree in their luxurious colonial apartment despite a nationwide curfew. Seven friends, under quarantine, won’t be able to leave until the curfew is lifted the next morning. In total, the Dominican Republic has submitted sixteen Oscar candidates since 1983, but has failed to nab a nomination yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/2f167d85-606c-4a6d-b1ec-86689d3f5a9f/Totem_image_01.jpg TropicalFRONT - For Your Consideration: Meet This Year's Latin American Oscar Contenders - Make it stand out Mexico: TÓTEM The Mexican Academy of Film Arts and Sciences picked Tótem, as the candidate represent the North American country at the Academy Awards. The second feature film by director Lila Avilés, had its world premiere in the official competition at the Berlin Film Festival and has played at New Directors/New Films and Telluride, tells the story of seven-year-old Sol, who spends the day at her grandfather’s home, helping with the preparations for a surprise party for her father. Throughout the day, chaos slowly takes over, fracturing the family’s foundations. Sol will embrace the essence of letting go as a release for existence.

NCLAFF 2023 will be honoring plants, as present in the everyday, in the landscape, and the economies that have had an important impact in the region (timber, rubber, sugar, banana, coca, etc.). Not all festival films will have plants as a theme, but every person lives within a landscape shaped, contained, and supported by them.” Some of these plant-based films include the Argentine film Trenque Lauquen, about the disappearance of a flower biologist, and Gods of Mexico, a visually stunning documentary of Mexico’s rural landscapes. www.nclatinamericanfilmfestival.org https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/e64a54b4-33b0-4da7-8da0-61c4257624b9/Screenshot+2023-09-14+at+18-10-37+MVFF46+PROGRAM+GUIDE+%E2%80%93+Mill+Valley+Film+Festival.jpg TropicalFRONT - List of U.S. Latinx and Latin American Film Festivals: Hispanic Heritage Month 2023 - Make it stand out MILL VALLEY FILM FESTIVAL, ¡VIVA EL CINE!

Winner of the Festival Favorite Award at the Sundance Film Festival and based on a true story, Radical is set in a Mexican border town plagued by neglect, corruption, and violence. In that place a frustrated teacher tries a radical new method to break through his students’ apathy and unlock their curiosity, their potential … and maybe even their genius. Directed by Christopher Zallas (Sangre de mi Sangre) and also produced by Derbez, Radical is an uplifting and heartfelt tale that shines a light on the incredible potential children can manifest when an innovative teacher empowers them to think for themselves. www.cinematucson.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/dbd13613-bc72-4e7c-8e17-16e3307e7c1e/Screenshot+2023-09-14+at+18-25-19+11th+Annual+Cine+Latino.png TropicalFRONT - List of U.S. Latinx and Latin American Film Festivals: Hispanic Heritage Month 2023 - Make it stand out CINE LATINO October 11 - 15 Taking place at the heart of Minneapolis, Cine Latino is the upper Midwest’s largest showcase of the best new films from U.S. Latinx, Latin American, and Iberian cinema, and the 11th edition of the festival promises to blow the roof off with a full array of lively film screenings, engaging filmmaker conversations, and exciting parties to engage the Twin Cities’ growing Spanish-speaking populations and vast community of global cinephiles.

Oscars: Meet the 2023 Latin American Academy Award Contenders - Make it stand out ARGENTINA: ARGENTINA, 1985 Starring Ricardo Darín and Peter Lanzani, Argentina, 1985 is inspired by the true story of Julio Strassera, Luis Moreno Ocampo and their young legal team of unlikely heroes in their David-vs-Goliath battle in which, under constant threat, they dared to prosecute Argentina’s bloodiest military dictatorship against all odds and in a race against time to bring justice to the victims of the Military Junta. Directed by Santiago Mitre, the historic political drama had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, and is currently playing in theaters across the U.S. Argentina is the only Latin American country to have won twice the Oscar for Best International Feature (previously known as Best Foreign-Language Film): in 1985 with Luis Puenzo’s The Official Story / La historia oficial and in 2009 with Juan José Campanella’s The Secret in Their Eyes / El secreto de sus ojos. In total, the South American country has nabbed seven nominations, more recently for Damian Szafrón’s Wild Tales / Relatos salvajes in 2014. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/721ce585-83de-4013-af62-09091c70a25f/UTAMA_thumbnail_color.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2023 Latin American Academy Award Contenders - Make it stand out BOLIVIA: UTAMA Set in the arid Bolivian highlands, Utama—the debut feature by Bolivian photographer turned filmmaker Alejandro Loayza Grisi—tells the story of an elderly Quechua couple that has been living a tranquil life for years. While he takes their small herd of llamas out to graze, she keeps house and walks for miles with the other local women to fetch precious water. When an uncommonly long drought threatens everything they know, Virginio and Sisa must decide whether to stay and maintain their traditional way of life or admit defeat and move in with family members in the city. Their dilemma is precipitated by the arrival of their grandson Clever, who comes to visit with news. The three of them must face, each in their own way, the effects of a changing environment, the importance of tradition, and the meaning of life itself. The Bolivian film made its World Premiere in the 2022 Sundance Film Festival World Cinema Competition, where it won the Grand Jury Prize in World Cinema Dramatic Competition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/d2aef93d-fe8c-49fa-a82c-fe1397f0d86f/f422d6d9bc48ee02cfa563bd07e2051d.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2023 Latin American Academy Award Contenders - Make it stand out BRAZIL: MARS ONE / MARTE UM Gabriel Martins’ Mars One follows the Martins family, who are optimistic dreamers, quietly leading their lives in the margins of a major Brazilian city following the disappointing inauguration of a far-right extremist president. A lower-middle-class Black family, they feel the strain of their new reality as the political dust settles. Tércia, the mother, reinterprets her world after an unexpected encounter leaves her wondering if she’s cursed. Her husband, Wellington, puts all of his hopes into the soccer career of their son, Deivinho, who reluctantly follows his father’s ambitions despite secretly aspiring to study astrophysics and colonize Mars. Meanwhile, their older daughter, Eunice, falls in love with a free-spirited young woman and ponders whether it’s time to leave home. Brazil has submitted candidates for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film since 1960. The South American country has been nominated four times, the most recent was in 1998 for Walter Salles’ Central Station; and in 2007, Cao Hamburger’s The Year My Parents Went On Vacation made the shortlist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/eef346b5-7e06-4e91-a5d6-5287465cc741/blanquita-guzzoni-critica.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2023 Latin American Academy Award Contenders - Make it stand out CHILE: BLANQUITA The Academy of Cinematographic Arts of Chile selected Blanquita, the fourth feature film by director Fernando Guzzoni as its Oscar contender. The film tells the story of an 18-year-old foster home resident who is the key witness in a scandal involving kids, politicians and rich men taking part in sex parties. Yet, the more questions are asked, the less clear it becomes what Blanca’s role in the scandal exactly is. Along with Argentina and Mexico, Chile is one of the three Latin American countries that have won theOscar for Best International Feature. The country won the statuette in 2017 for A Fantastic Woman by Sebastián Lelio, after earning its first nomination in 2012 for No by Pablo Larraín. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/72af33ba-8020-40fe-8294-f20e6bd2e22b/LRDM-FOTO-JUAN-C-COBO-11-1600x900.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2023 Latin American Academy Award Contenders - Make it stand out COLOMBIA: THE KINGS OF THE WORLD / LOS REYES DEL MUNDO Produced by Cristina Gallego (Birds of Passage, The Embrace of the Serpent), Laura Mora’s The Kings of the World / Los reyes del mundo follows five Medellín teenagers from the streets on a desperate journey of survival as it portrays with strong poetic undertones the reality of the injustice and exclusion suffered by those who lack basic rights such as a name, a family, a place and a date of birth. Rá, Culebro, Sere, Winny and Nano, five street kids from Medellin, five kings without a kingdom, with no law and no family, are looking for the promised land. The five will embark on a trip to claim a piece of land that Rá inherited after a long process of land restitution. Colombia has nabbed only one nomination since it started submitting films to the Oscars, that was in 2015 for The Embrace of the Serpent by Ciro Guerra. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/5dca11c5-6ffb-4ae0-9db6-9a56d529e606/9c074c4604f37e1d63aac54fdcf6606eecec2b6f.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2023 Latin American Academy Award Contenders - Make it stand out COSTA RICA: DOMINGO AND THE MIST Costa Rica has selected Domingo and the Mist / Domingo y la niebla by director Ariel Escalante Meza as its contender for Best International Feature Film at the 95th edition of the Academy Awards. The second feature film by director Ariel Escalante Meza had its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard competition at the Cannes Film Festival in May. The supernatural drama tells the story of Domingo, a 65-year-old man who lives in a town that is being threatened by thugs hired by a developer to expel its inhabitants and pave the way for the construction of a mega highway. But his land hides a secret—the ghost of his deceased wife who visits him within the mist. Domingo is sure he will never give up his land, even if that means resorting to violence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/4168d01a-e17f-45ad-8b8f-ceae0584a126/20211022-bantu-mama-papo-de-cinema-banner.png TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2023 Latin American Academy Award Contenders - Make it stand out DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: BANTÚ MAMA Iván Herrera’s Bantú Mama, which is a contemporary story about the proverbial encounter between Africa and the Caribbean, had its world premiere at the 2021 edition of SXSW, becoming the first Dominican film to be selected for the Texas film festival. Starring Clarisse Albrecht, the film follows a French woman of Cameroonian descent who manages to escape after being arrested in the Dominican Republic.

The film tells the story of Luisa, 45, who returns from a psychiatric clinic after a bout with severe postpartum depression. She enters a new confinement in her dazzling home, surrounded by family members and a brigade of domestic workers who expect her struggles to remain invisible. Unable to continue playing the role of the perfect housewife, Luisa's only escape is to waltz elegantly into madness. Lo Invisible becomes the eleventh Ecuadorean Oscar candidate since the South American country first submitted a contender in 2000.

The film had its world premiere at the Hot Docs Documentary Film Festival last year in Toronto, Canada, and has since then played at numerous international film festivals, including Sheffield, Guadalajara, Malaga, DOC NYC, and Jeonju, where it won a Special Jury Prize. The documentary film tells the story of journalist Elías Barahona, who succeeded in infiltrating the most repressive government in Guatemala, that of General Romeo García.

It chronicles the story of a renowned Mexican journalist and documentary filmmaker who returns home and works through an existential crisis as he grapples with his identity, familial relationships, the folly of his memories as well as the past of his country. He seeks answers in his past to reconcile who he is in the present. The film recently had its world premiere in the Golden Lion competition at the Venice Film Festival, followed by its North American premiere at the Telluride Film Festival. González Iñárritu is no stranger to the Oscars, having won the statuettes for Best Director back to back in 2015 and 2016 for Birdman and The Revenant. This marks the third time that the filmmaker represents the country in the international competition after Amores perros in 2000, and Biutiful in 2010. After nine nominations, Mexico finally won the coveted award for Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma in 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/41208544-5a30-4666-a43c-30f8a071aceb/302161833_402299225259995_3181228562060390880_n.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2023 Latin American Academy Award Contenders - Make it stand out PANAMA: BIRTHDAY BOY / CUMPLEAÑERO Starring Gaby Gnazzo, Albi De Abreu, and Joavany Alvarez, Arturo Montenegro’s Birthday Boy tells the story of Jimmy, who is celebrating his 45th birthday at the beach house and inviting his close circle of friends over for a weekend full of fun, excess and compromise. Nevertheless, everything is interrupted by Jimmy's confession of wanting to end his life before the party ends. This is the seventh Panamanian Oscar candidate since the country first submitted a film in 2014. Last year Abner Benaím’s Plaza Catedral made it to the Academy Award’s shortlist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/c94ad695-71f7-4cc6-a35c-85621089ba25/Memory%2Bfrom%2Bthe%2BForest.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2023 Latin American Academy Award Contenders - Make it stand out PARAGUAY: EAMI Eami, the third feature film by Paz Encina, will represent Paraguay in the competition for Best International Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards, the country announced on Tuesday. The film had its world premiere at the Rotterdam Film Festival in January, where it won the Tiger Award for Best Film. Encina has made a dreamy, magic-realist film about a five-year-old girl called Eami, following the filmmaker’s immersion in indigenous mythologies of the Paraguayan Chaco. After the girl’s village is destroyed and her community disintegrates, Eami wanders the rainforest. She will have to live outside the rainforest, just like the coñone (literally: ‘the insensitive’). Embodying Asojá, the bird-god-woman, Eami falls into trance in which she walks slowly and stunned through her beloved forest as she prepares to leave it forever. Encina turns her final wander into an experience for all the senses, with enchanting images and a powerful sound mix. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/e7b2aa32-6e73-465c-a257-aa776f84fa53/corazon-luna-3.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2023 Latin American Academy Award Contenders - Make it stand out PERU: MOON HEART / EL CORAZÓN DE LA LUNA Peru has selected the sci-fi Moon Heart by Aldo Salvini, which tells the story of M—played by veteran actress Haydeé Cáceres—a lonely woman who lives adrift: a lonely shadow that crosses her own geography every day. She spends her days dreaming about her past, until one day she finds something very similar to her: an ant. And what does a person do when they find an ant? You crush it with your finger, you blow it away. Instead, M decides to share her world with it. A world made of nostalgic memories and a dark presence that haunts her, until the day a "mechanical angel" arrives to help her. Peru is looking for a second nomination for Best International Feature after Claudia Llosa’s The Milk of Sorrow / La teta asustada nabbed a nomination in 2009. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/cc0fce6a-c10c-4f8a-adf9-d7de1221115a/The-Employer-and-the-Employee.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2023 Latin American Academy Award Contenders - Make it stand out URUGUAY: THE EMPLOYER AND THE EMPLOYEE / EL EMPLEADO Y EL EMPLEADOR Uruguay has picked The Employer and the Employee, the third film by writer-director Manolo Nieto (The Dog Pound, The Militant), which had its world premiere at Cannes Directors’ Fortnight in 2021. In this slow-burn drama set in the Uruguayan countryside, close to the Brazilian border, Nieto continues his insightful and provocative examination of class conflict. Acclaimed Argentine actor Nahuel Pérez Biscayart [BPM (Beats Per Minute)] stars as Rodrigo, a young landowner whose most pressing concern is his baby’s health. He hires Carlos, an inexperienced teenager looking for a job to support his own newborn. Despite a growing connection between them, an unexpected event will strain their bond and put their families in danger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1b520c02-14e7-4372-a167-7cc731c2ab66/FEO622CUYAEpWuF.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2023 Latin American Academy Award Contenders - Make it stand out VENEZUELA: THE BOX / LA CAJA The Box, the second fiction feature by director Vigas—whose From Afar / Desde lejos was the first Latin American film to win the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival—is set in Mexico and tells the story of Hatzín, a teenager from Mexico City who travels to the north of the country to collect the remains of his estranged father, who died under unknown circumstances. Yet an encounter with a man who shares a physical resemblance with his father fills him with doubts and hope about his dad’s true whereabouts.

Oscars: Meet the 2022 Latin American Academy Award Contenders ARGENTINA: THE INTRUDER / EL PRÓFUGO Argentina has selected the psycho-sexual thriller The Intruder / El prófugo, the second feature film by Natalia Meta (Death in Buenos Aires) as its official submission. Starring Érica Rivas (Wild Tales), Nahuel Pérez Biscayart (BPM - Beats Per Minute), Daniel Hendler (The Moneychanger) and Almodóvar regular Cecilia Roth (All About My Mother), The Intruder tells the story of Inés, who works as a dubbing actress and sings in a choir in Buenos Aires. While on an idyllic trip she suffers a traumatic episode that she can't recover from. She has trouble sleeping and experiences very vivid nightmares as strange sounds begin to emerge from inside her. Awake, Inés feels suddenly surrounded by people that seem to come from her dreams. Hailed as a “smart and stylish supernatural story about making peace with inner demons by learning to confront them head-on” (Eric Kohn, IndieWire), the film had its world premiere in the official competition at the Berlin Film Festival in 2020, and has played at numerous international film festivals including San Sebastian, Vienna, BFI London, and Zurich. Argentina is the only Latin American country to have won the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film (formerly known as Best Foreign-Language Film) twice, in 1986 for The Official Story by Luis Puenzo, and in 2010 for The Secret in Their Eyes by Juan José Campanella. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/ab9bc302-d277-49a9-bff5-db6922134979/938843-1-1600x900-c-default.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2022 Latin American Academy Award Contenders BOLIVIA: THE GREAT MOVEMENT / EL GRAN MOVIMIENTO Bolivia has selected The Great Movement / El gran movimiento, the second feature film by director Kiro Russo, which won the Special Orizzonti Jury Prize at the last edition of the Venice Film Festival. Set in contemporary Bolivia, the film follows Elder, who with his miner companions arrive in La Paz after walking for a week to demand for the reinstatement of their job. Yet, Elder starts to feel sick. With the help of the elderly Mamá Pancha, Elder and his friends find work in the market. But Elder’s condition worsens, he’s choking and struggling for breath. Mamá Pancha sends him to Max—a witch doctor, hermit and clown—who may be able to bring the young man back to life. The Great Movement had its U.S. premiere at the New York Film Festival, and it also played at the San Sebastian Film Festival. This marks the 13th time that Bolivia has submitted a candidate to the Academy Awards, with no nominations yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/0a200f8a-fbac-401e-8e62-1cf8204d88d2/Robson+%282%29.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2022 Latin American Academy Award Contenders BRAZIL: PRIVATE DESERT / DESERTO PARTICULAR Brazil’s official selection for the 94th Academy Awards tells the story of 40-year-old Daniel, who has been suspended from active police work and is under internal investigation. When Sara, his internet love affair, goes missing, he decides to drive to her town in Bahia, in the northeast of the country, in search of her. Thousands of miles away from home, Daniel meets a guy who can put the two in touch under very specific conditions. Starring Antonio Saboia and Pedro Fasanaro, Private Desert, the most recent film by up-and-coming director Aly Muritiba (Rust) and winner of the Audience Award at Venice Days, is a gripping tale of an impossible love set under adverse conditions, as well as an engrossing reflection of masculinity in contemporary Brazilian society. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1edf2626-b887-411c-ac75-3826a24b7083/blanco-en-blanco-theo-court-revista-mutaciones.png TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2022 Latin American Academy Award Contenders CHILE: WHITE ON WHITE / BLANCO EN BLANCO White on White / Blanco en blanco, the second film by Spanish-Chilean director Théo Court is Chile’s official submission for international feature film. The film had its world premiere at last year’s Venice Film Festival, where it was awarded the Silver Lion for Best Director in the Orizzonti competition and the Fipresci Critics Award. Starring Alfredo Castro, White on White is set in 19th centruy Chile and follows a photographer who goes to the southern tip of Chile to capture the wedding of a powerful landowner. His client is absent, and as he waits for the wedding, which keeps getting postponed, he becomes obsessed with the young bride and her beauty. Chile is one of the three Latin American countries that has won an Oscar for Best International Feature Film, after Sebastián Lelio’s win in 2018 for A Fantastic Woman. The South American country was also nominated in 2013 for Pablo Larraín’s No. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/94314272-582d-4754-806d-d70b86775530/Memoria-2.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2022 Latin American Academy Award Contenders COLOMBIA: MEMORIA Memoria, directed by Thai Palme d’Or winning director Apichatpong Weerasethakul, is representing Colombia at the 94th edition of the Academy Awards. Boasting an international cast including Tilda Swinton, Elkin Díaz, Jeanne Balibar, Juan Pablo Urrego, Agnes Brekke and Daniel Giménez Cacho, the film had its world premiere in the official competition at the 74th edition of the Cannes Film Festival last July, where it won the Jury Prize. The film, which will have its U.S. premiere in a few days at the New York Film Festival, was inspired the director’s own memories and those of people he encountered while traveling across Colombia. The bewildering drama follows Jessica, a Scottish botanist (played by Swinton), who, after hearing a loud ‘bang’ at daybreak, begins experiencing a mysterious sensory syndrome while traversing the jungles of the South American country. Colombia has received one nomination in the category for international film at the Oscars, for Ciro Guerra’s Embrace of the Serpent in 2016. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/8823978a-a09a-4e6f-a54f-1d37ad131a5d/CLARA-SOLA_1.-MAIN-STILL-CLARA-SOLA_%40Hobab_%40ResolveMedia_%40NeedProductions_%40PacificaGrey_%40LaidkaFilms_%40EstebanAlvarado-scaled.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2022 Latin American Academy Award Contenders COSTA RICA: CLARA SOLA Clara Sola, the debut feature by Nathalie Álvarez Mesén, is the Costa Rican contender. The film had its world premiere in the Directors’ Fortnight section of the Cannes Film Festival last July, where it generated critical acclaim. Starring Wendy Chinchilla Araya, Daniel Castañeda Rincón, Ana Julia Porras Espinoza, and Flor María Vargas Chaves, Clara Sola tells the story of Clara, 40, who is believed to have a special connection to God. As a "healer", she sustains a family and a village in need of hope, while she finds solace in her relationship with the natural world. After years of being controlled by her mother’s repressive care, Clara’s sexual desires are stirred by her attraction to her niece’s new boyfriend. This newly awakened force takes Clara to unexplored territory, allowing her to cross boundaries, both physical and mystical. Empowered by her self-discovery, Clara gradually frees herself from her role as “saint” and begins to heal herself. Distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories has picked the U.S. rights for the film, and will give it a theatrical run in the next few months. This marks the tenth time that the Central American country has submitted an Oscar candidate, but it has not yet nabbed a nomination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/0d4b1d9c-da94-4bdb-9fec-bb4bc7597986/sxU7XazF97n1LuVxTvBiD7JV3MR-1.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2022 Latin American Academy Award Contenders DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: HOLY BEASTS / LA FIERA Y LA FIESTA The Dominican Republic was the last Latin American country to announce its candidate for Best International Film at the 94th edition of the Academy Awards selection Holy Beasts / La fiera y la fiesta by the directorial duo of Laura Amelia Guzmán and Israel Cárdenas. Starring internationally renowned actors Geraldine Chaplin and Udo Kier, the film tells the story of aging punk diva Vera, who arrives in Santo Domingo to direct a musical film. Welcoming her are two other old friends, the producer and the cinematographer, with whom Vera spent the golden years of their youth together as an artistic troupe. The Caribbean production is sumptuous, the musical numbers are grand. But mysterious forces threaten the shoot and death begin to creep up on the haunted production. Holy Beasts is inspired by the filmography and life of the Dominican filmmaker and artist Jean-Louis Jorge (1947-2000) was a Dominican filmmaker and the author of a sensual and transgressive body of work. This marks the second time that a film made by Guzmán and Cárdenas represents the Dominican Republic at the Oscars after Sand Dollars, also starring Geraldine Chaplin, did it in 2015. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/4d743d2f-ae58-424e-9bd9-fe713b8b55c1/5dc3e0a7024b0.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2022 Latin American Academy Award Contenders ECUADOR: SUBMERSIBLE / SUMERGIBLE Ecuador was the first country to announce its contender for the 94th Academy Awards, officially opening the season for best international feature. The South American country through the over 50 members of the Academia de las Artes Audiovisuales y Cinematográficas del Ecuador has selected Submersible / Sumergible, the second feature film by Alfredo León León and starring Colombian actress Natalia Reyes—star of Terminator: Dark Fate and Birds of Passage. The provocative thriller, which had its U.S. premiere at last year’s AFI Latin American Film Festival, finds a young girl bound and gagged in the cargo hold of a sinking handmade drug-smuggling submarine. The three crew members are forced to open the forbidden cargo cabin to distribute the weight and save the ship. The boat, barely big enough for three to begin with, becomes a steaming powder cake of fears, desires and greed. This marks the tenth time that Ecuador has selected an Oscar candidate, with no shortlisted or nominated candidates yet. The 94th edition of the Academy Awards will take place March 27, 2022. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/aa9a2574-35d9-4cdc-9dbc-a5b2b0b20cd2/PrayersfortheStolen.2.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2022 Latin American Academy Award Contenders MEXICO: PRAYERS FOR THE STOLEN / NOCHE DE FUEGO The Mexican Academy of Film Arts and Sciences selected Prayers for the Stolen / Noche de fuego, the debut fiction film by filmmaker Tatiana Huezo and produced by Nicolás Célis (Roma) and Jim Stark, as the candidate to represent Mexico in the international competition at the 94th edition of the Academy Awards. Winner of a Special Mention in the Un Certain Regard competition at the Cannes Film Festival, and the Best Latin American Film Award at the San Sebastian Film Festival, the Netflix film is set in a solitary town nestled in the Mexican mountains, where the girls wear boyish haircuts and have hiding places underground. Liberally adapted from Jennifer Clement's eponymous 2014 novel, the film follows Ana and her two best friends as they take over the houses of those who have fled and dress up as women when no one is watching. In their own impenetrable universe, magic and joy abound; meanwhile, their mothers train them to flee from those who turn them into slaves or ghosts. But one day, one of the girls doesn't make it to her hideout in time. Prayers for the Stolen beat out Identifying Features, which was the two other favorite contender in the Mexican Oscar race. Mexico has nabbed nine Oscar nominations for Best International Feature, winning its first Academy Award in 2019 with Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/fcfca3b8-dc3e-4939-a980-ad143a69ceb1/99c3396cbcedcf97066c7b05c2410b2a.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2022 Latin American Academy Award Contenders PANAMA: PLAZA CATEDRAL Panama selected Plaza Catedral, the second fiction feature film by Abner Benaim (Ruben Blades Is Not My Name), as the Central American country’s Oscar submission. This marks the third time that a film by Benaim represents Panama at the Oscars after his documentary Invasión became the first Panamanian Oscar submission in 2014, and his other documentary feature Ruben Blades Is Not My Name in 2018. Starring Mexican actress Ilse Salas (The Good Girls) and Colombian actor Manolo Cardona (Narcos), Plaza Catedral recently had its world premiere at the Guadalajara Film Festival where it won the Best Actress Award. The film tells the story of Alicia, who had "a perfect life” and lost it. Her 6-year-old son died in an accident. Her grief is plagued by guilt, which has made her disassociate from society, from married life, and from herself. She now lives in the Old Quarter of Panama, a rich colonial enclave surrounded by Panama's poorest neighborhoods. There she meets Chief, a street smart 13-year-old who takes care of cars in front of her apartment and insists on getting paid for his job. Alicia keeps a safe distance from him, until one night Chief arrives at Alicia's apartment bleeding from a gunshot wound and begs her to let him inside.

This marks the fourth time that the South American country selects an Oscar contender, and the second time that a film by Ullón represents the country after Cloudy Times / Tiempo nublado became the first Paraguayan Oscar contender in 2015. Hailed as “powerful and moving” by Screen International, Nothing but the Sun had its world premiere last November as opening night film at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), and it will have its U.S. premiere at DOC NYC in a few days. The film tells the story of Mateo Sobode Chiqueno who has been recording stories, songs, and testimonies of his Ayoreo people since the seventies, facing the consequences of a violent uprooting. In an attempt to preserve fragments of a disappearing culture, Mateo walks across communities in the arid and desolate Paraguayan Chaco region, and registers on cassettes the experiences of other Ayoreo who, like him, were born in the vast forest, free and nomadic, without any contact with white civilization, until religious missionaries forced them to abandon their ancestral territory, their means of subsistence, their beliefs and their home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/149bc5e8-d8c2-41ed-8c8c-ccc4f5b73bea/manco-capac-henry-vallejo-2020-950x400.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2022 Latin American Academy Award Contenders PERU: POWERFUL CHIEF / MANCO CÁPAC Powerful Chief / Manco Cápac by Henry Vallejo, which had its world premiere at the Lima Film Festival last year, where it won the Best Actor Award, is Peru’s Oscar candidate. The second feature film by Vallejo starring Jesús Luque Colque, Gaby Huaywa, and Mario Velásquez, tells the story of Elisban, who arrives in the city of Puno, too late to meet his friend Hermogenes, with whom he was going to work. Homeless and without money, he survives from unstable small jobs, in a city that sharpens his loneliness at every step. The inertia of continuing to walk may lead him to a better fate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/b682cbb6-cbdb-4dca-9567-f786ee5c06cc/1-Still-FC-La-teori%CC%81a-de-los-vidrios-rotos-1.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2022 Latin American Academy Award Contenders URUGUAY: THE BROKEN GLASS THEORY / LA TEORÍA DE LOS VIDRIOS ROTOS The pitch black comedy The Broken Glass Theory / La teoría de los vidrios rotos, the sophomore feature film by Diego Fernández, is this year’s Uruguayan official submission for the international competition at the Oscars. Starring Jorge Temponi, Carlos Frasca, Martín Slipak, Guillermo Arengo, and César Tronco, the film tells the story of Claudio, who is the new insurance expert in a small town far from the capital. It seems like a simple job, but when he arrives, he is faced with the worst series of intentional car fires the town had ever seen. Cornered by clients, Claudio must discover what and who is behind the attacks, without being able to trust anything or anyone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/7b513e61-33a4-4110-8be0-1a34d16f0777/destello-interior-e1617732232774.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet the 2022 Latin American Academy Award Contenders VENEZUELA: THE INNER GLOW / UN DESTELLO AL INTERIOR The Venezuelan drama The Inner Glow / Un destello al interior by the siblings Andrés and Luis Rodriguez, is the South American country’s Oscar selection. Starring Jericó Montilla, The Inner Glow tells the story of Silvia, a single mother who works as a janitor cleaning offices and has diagnosed with a brain tumor, but her biggest concern is the future of her six-year-old daughter Sara. The Venezuelan film had its international premiere at the 43rd edition of the Moscow Film Festival last April. Venezuela has been submitting candidates to the Academy Awards since 1978, but has yet to nab a nomination. The closest the South American country has gotten was in 2014 with Alberto Arvelo’s Libertador, which made the short list. https://www.cinematropical.com/cinema-tropical/watch-for-free-the-short-daughters-of-witches-starring-yalitza-aparicio monthly 0.5 2021-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/5158dfd6-424b-49ee-bf63-8a77b34e3e7f/hija-brujas-min.png TropicalFRONT -

Gutiérrez and Vicky Westover. The series continues on Sunday, September 19 with the screening of a new digital restoration of the Mexican campy 1968 movie The Batwoman / La mujer murciélago, a fascinating and fairly unknown addition to the already overwhelmingly superb Batman franchise. Under her cape, cowl, boots and bikini the gorgeous Maura Monti takes on the lead role of Batwoman in this 1968 Mexican version. With stunning beauty and crime-fighting finesse she is called to investigate an evil and whacked out scientist who is capturing wrestlers and using their spinal fluid to create a Gill Man. www.cinematucson.com https://www.cinematropical.com/cinema-tropical/son-of-monarchs-coming-to-theaters-in-october-before-its-streaming-release-on-hbo-max monthly 0.5 2021-10-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1633028235726-TA6CII2K466GGIWWJQLJ/SonofMonarchs.jpg TropicalFRONT -

PHLAFF’s programming focuses on the diverse experiences and realities of our people. PHLAFF has evolved into an international film festival that brings the best of Latino and Latinx stories to a wide audience. The 10th edition of the festival will be held exclusively online and this year’s lineup includes the Colombian film The House of Mama Icha by Oscar Molina, the Peruvian film Contactado by Marité Ugás, and the queer Chilean documentary Forgotten Roads by Nicol Ruiz Benavides, among many other titles. www.phlaff.org https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1622143830901-K09HHFNPEU5BB7054N5W/183353899_10158156652032825_8642598518881600668_n.jpg TropicalFRONT - List of U.S. Latinx and Latin American Film Festivals: June 2021 - Make it stand out LOS ANGELES LATINO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, LALIFF June 2 - 6 The Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival (LALIFF) is the premier international event dedicated to reveling in the Latino human experience through film, television, music, visual art, or any form of expression that defies category. With five days of both in-person and virtual screenings, masterclasses, panels, and performances, LALIFF is a garden of creativity and a celebration of Latino life. LALIFF was founded in 1997 when Edward James Olmos and co-founders Marlene Dermer (1997-2014), Kirk Whisler, and the late George Hernandez joined forces with the City of Los Angeles to form the first-ever Latino focused international film festival.

Starring Érica Rivas (Wild Tales), Luis Ziembrowski (The Boss, Anatomy of a Crime), and Daniel Hendler (The Moneychanger), the film follows Luisa, who is spending her New Year holiday with her husband and her 14-year-old daughter—a sleepwalker in the teenage awakening—at her mother-in-law’s country house with other family members. Nevertheless, what was hoped to be a leisurely summer vacation turns out to be an explosive occasion. A favorite at numerous international film festivals including Toronto, San Sebastian, and Chicago, The Sleepwalkers is a poignant and engaging drama about a family in crisis. Argentina is the only Latin American country to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign-Language Film twice, in 1985 for Luis Puenzo’s The Official Story and in 2009 for Juan José Campanella’s The Secret in Their Eyes. The country has been nominated seven times in the same category. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1610915757992-AQPAOG4XPTSKMEF77ZNR/895dba16-0aac-4839-b95a-2831bc4ba1fb.jpg TropicalFRONT - Meet the 2021 Latin American Academy Award Contenders BOLIVIA: CHACO Bolivia has selected Diego Mondaca’s debut feature Chaco as its contender for the 93rd edition of the Academy Awards in the Best International Feature competition. The film starring Fabián Arenillas, Raymundo Ramos, and Omar Calisaya, had its world premiere last January in the Bright Future Competition at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, and has played in numerous film festivals since then. Set in 1934, during the war between Bolivia and Paraguay. the film follows a small group of indigenous Bolivian soldiers, under the commandment of a retired German General, who wander in the Chaco desert looking for the Paraguayan enemy that they haven’t seen for months, and that they will never find. The monotonous grey landscape of the forest confuses them. The lack of water and food pressures them and all of their decisions are wrong, weakening the group’s spirit and generating a violent and quarrelsome environment between all of them, officials and soldiers, to the point that they try and get rid of one another. They are overcome by despair and constant uncertainty. This is the 12th time that Bolivia selects an Oscar candidate, yet the South American country has yet to receive an Academy Award nomination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1610913047140-MPTFUBT7CQTFK7VWFZ99/image-asset.jpg TropicalFRONT - Meet the 2021 Latin American Academy Award Contenders BRAZIL: BABENCO: TELL ME WHEN I DIE The documentary film Babenco: Tell Me When I Die / Babenco: Alguém Tem que Ouvir o Coração e Dizer Parou by Bárbara Paz, winner of the Venice Classics Award for Best Documentary in Cinema, has been selected by the South American country as its Academy Awards contender. “I have already lived my death and now all that is left is to make a film about it.” So said the Argentine-born Brazilian filmmaker Héctor Babenco (Pixote, Kiss of the Spider Woman) to his wife Paz when he realized he did not have much time left. She accepted the challenge to fulfill the last wish of her late partner: to be the main protagonist in his own death. In this tender immersion into the life of one of the greatest filmmakers from South America, Babenco himself consciously bares his soul in intimate and painful situations. He expresses fears and anxieties, and also memories, reflections, and fantasies, in this face-off between his intellectual vigor and physical frailty, which were the hallmarks of his career. From the onset of cancer at the age of 38 until his death at 70, Babenco made of cinema his medicine and the nourishment that kept him alive. Babenco: Tell me when I Die is Paz’s debut feature film, but is also, in a way, Hector’s last work: a film about filming so never to die. Brazil has been nominated four times for the Academy Awards, the last nomination was for Walter Salles’ Central Station in 1998, but has never won in the foreign language film category. Two of Babenco’s films had been selected as the Brazilian Oscar contenders: Pixote in 1980 (although it was disqualified as it was screened outside the Academy’s allowable dates) and Carandiru in 2003; and his 1985 American drama Kiss of the Spider Woman was nominated for four Academy Awards: for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor—the films’s protagonist William Hurt winning in this last category. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1610914923383-Y7DM0EBY02QIK5F38NDD/image-asset.jpeg TropicalFRONT - Meet the 2021 Latin American Academy Award Contenders CHILE: THE MOLE AGENT The documentary film The Mole Agent / El agente topo by Maite Alberdi is the South American nation’s candidate for the 93rd Academy Awards in the Best International Feature competition. The film follows 83-year-old Sergio, who, when sent as an undercover spy to a retirement home to investigate suspected neglect, learns a deeper lesson on human connection. Through the lens of the hidden camera in his decoy glasses, viewers watch as Sergio struggles to balance his assignment while becoming increasingly involved in the lives of several residents. The Mole Agent had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival last January and has had a successful international run. Alberdi’s film aims to become the second Chilean Academy Award winner after Sebastián Lelio’s win for A Fantastic Woman in 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1610913184324-Q2HI0YRJWZ80A4NXV1XQ/image-asset.jpeg TropicalFRONT - Meet the 2021 Latin American Academy Award Contenders COLOMBIA: FORGOTTEN WE’LL BE Colombia has selected the film Forgotten We’ll Be / El olvido que seremos by Oscar-winning Spanish filmmaker Fernando Trueba (Belle Époque), as its contender. Selected for the 2020 Cannes Film Festival, Forgotten We’ll Be is the film adaptation of Héctor Abad Faciolince’s masterpiece, one of the must-read books in contemporary Spanish-language literature and the true story of his father, Colombian human rights activist Héctor Abad Gómez. Starring Spanish-actor Javier Cámara (The Young Pope), Forgotten We’ll Be tells the story of a man torn between the love of his family and his political fight set in the violence-riddled Colombia of recent decades. Based on Hector Abad Faciolince's cult novel, the film portrays the life of his father, a prominent doctor and human rights activist in the polarized, violent Medellin of the 70s. A family man worried not only for his own children but those of the underprivileged classes as well, his home was imbued with vitality and creativity, the result of an education based on tolerance and love. Nothing could foretell that a terrible cancer would take the life of one of his beloved daughters. Driven by sadness and rage, Héctor devoted himself to the social and political causes of the time. But Medellin's intolerant society would harass him until he was finally silenced. Colombia has received one nomination in the category for international film at the Oscars, for Ciro Guerra’s Embrace of the Serpent in 2016. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1610914565080-VC4P7U1IKPZWN0H1XCFG/image-asset.jpg TropicalFRONT - Meet the 2021 Latin American Academy Award Contenders COSTA RICA: LAND OF ASHES Costa Rica has selected Land of Ashes / Ceniza negra, the debut feature by Sofía Quirós Ubeda to represent the country in the competition for best international feature film at the 2021 Oscars, becoming the ninth Costa Rican Oscar contender since the Central American nation first submitted a candidate in 2005.

La Llorona is a tale of horror and magical realism that reimagines the iconic Latin American fable. The film follows indignant retired general Enrique, as he finally faces trial for the genocidal massacre of thousands of Mayans decades ago. As a horde of angry protestors threatens to invade his opulent home, the women of the house—his wife, daughter, and granddaughter—weigh their responsibility to shield the erratic, senile Enrique against the devastating truths being publicly revealed and the increasing sense that a wrathful supernatural force is targeting them for his crimes. Bustamante’s political horror film had its world premiere at Venice Days, the independent competitive section of the 2019 Venice Film Festival, and played to critical acclaim at the Toronto International Film Festival, the Sundance Film Festival, and BFI London Film Festival.

The film, which had its world premiere at the Directors' Fortnight section at the Cannes Film Festival is looking to become the second Peruvian Academy Award nominee after Claudia Llosa’s nabbed a nomination in 2009 for her film The Milk of Sorrow. Based on harrowing true events, Song Without a Name tells the story of Georgina, an indigenous Andean woman whose newborn baby is whisked away moments after its birth in a downtown Lima clinic—and never returned. Stonewalled by a byzantine and indifferent legal system, Georgina approaches journalist Pedro Campas, who uncovers a web of fake clinics and abductions, suggesting corruption rotting deep within Peruvian society. Set in 1988 in a Peru wracked by political violence and turmoil, Melina León’s heart-wrenching first feature renders Georgina's story in gorgeous, shadowy black-and-white cinematography, "styled like the most beautiful of bad dreams" (Variety). Song Without a Name is a "Kafkaesque thriller" (The Hollywood Reporter) that depicts real-life, stranger-than-fiction tragedies with poetic beauty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1610927360530-QU34CACM3PI2JV33PSG7/4183f7bc-ffc7-4c09-bd0a-0e1716778e35-1920x1080.png TropicalFRONT - Meet the 2021 Latin American Academy Award Contenders SURINAME: WIREN Suriname participates in the Oscar for the first time ever with the drama Wiren, about a 7-year-old deaf boy who meets American doctor Dr. Richard Young and a world of opportunities opens up for the small boy born in the rural district.

Latin American Films at the 58th New York Film Festival ISABELLA (Matías Piñeiro, Argentina, 2020, 80 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Argentine filmmaker Piñeiro continues to explore the porous line between performance and daily ritual in his most visually striking film yet. As in such subtly magical dramas of the everyday as The Princess of France and Hermia & Helena, Piñeiro uses a Shakespeare text to anchor a loose yet intellectually rigorous examination of life’s loves, labors, and futile pursuits, all played out with the minutest of gestures. Isabella uses Measure for Measure as inspiration, with regular Piñeiro players María Villar and Agustina Muñoz as Mariel, a teacher with stage aspirations, and Luciana, a more established actress. The filmmaker jumps around in time, from the days leading up to a crucial audition to years later, after the women have moved on to other dreams; meanwhile we keep returning to their collaboration on an entrancing, James Turrell–like light installation. Piñeiro’s art has never been more graceful or structurally complex as in this work of solace amid anxiety and doubt. Thursday, September 24, 8pm - Tuesday, September 29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600465812690-M9HH8UTNM1VPP5CSBKFQ/Screen-Shot-2020-09-08-at-10.16.47-PM.png TropicalFRONT - Latin American Films at the 58th New York Film Festival TRAGIC JUNGLE / SELVA TRÁGICA (Yulene Olaizola, Mexico, 2020, 96 min. In English, Creole, Maya, and Spanish with English subtitles) In her accomplished fifth feature, Mexican filmmaker Olaizola immerses the viewer in a richly drawn, tactile experience that works as both a gripping adventure and a contemplative rumination on the brutality and splendor of nature. Set in the 1920s in the deep thickets of a Mayan tropical rainforest along the Rio Hondo—then the border between Mexico and British Honduras, now Belize—Tragic Jungle follows Agnes (Indira Andrewin), a young woman trying desperately to escape with her sister from the white British landowner she doesn’t want to marry. With the man armed and on her trail, she barely gets away, and is discovered by a troupe of chicleros—gum tree workers—who become both her rescuers and captors. Vibrantly shot by cinematographer Sofia Oggioni, Olaizola’s film becomes an entirely unexpected story of myth and superstition, in which the jungle itself seems like a living being, taking natural revenge on the men whose petty inhumanities bloody its trunks and vines.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Among the most emotionally resonant and innovatively conceived cinematic love stories in years, I Carry You With Me charts the burgeoning romance between Iván (Armando Espitia), a semi-closeted young father and restaurant worker, and Gerardo (Christian Vázquez), a high school teacher who has come to terms more fully with his sexuality. When Iván makes the decision to leave Mexico and find new life and work opportunities across the U.S. border, the two men must make difficult decisions about their future. In her narrative feature debut, Heidi Ewing (Oscar-nominated for Jesus Camp) unexpectedly and brilliantly incorporates documentary elements into a beguiling, humane tale in which everyday struggle is inextricable from transcendent romance.

Protean filmmaker Nicolás Pereda always takes viewers on zigzag narratives whose complexities belie the sedentary nature of the characters at their center. His alternately ticklish and dark-toned latest feature mixes realism and light absurdity in the story of a young television actress who joins her estranged brother and new boyfriend—also an actor, though he has yet to graduate from bit player—to visit her family at her parents’ rustic home in the Mexican countryside. There, the couple deals with culture clash and familial rivalries, but Pereda has a metafictional trick up his sleeve that reveals the grim intimations of violence bubbling under the community. Fauna, taking its title from one of its characters, is a clever and entertaining inquiry into performance and the stories we tell.

Nicolás Zukerfeld’s third feature is a wry, surprising work of filmmaking-as-criticism that begins as a kind of supercut of moments from the work of pantheon Hollywood auteur Raoul Walsh. This rhythmically entrancing parade of images traces a mysterious and amusing arc across the director’s vast oeuvre—but at the halfway mark, the film reinvents itself as an idiosyncratic, essayistic investigation into memory, cinema, and their shared mutability. There Are Not Thirty-Six Ways… reimagines cinema as a medium for the generation and transmission of ideas, and the results are by turns humorous, stimulating, and thrilling. Friday, September 25 - Wednesday, September 30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600466551091-DUV521W24GONKYEJMFK6/Her-Name-Was-Europa-1600x900-c-default.jpg TropicalFRONT - Latin American Films at the 58th New York Film Festival HER NAME WAS EUROPA (Anja Dornieden and Juan David González Monroy, Germany, 2020, 76 min.) The aurochs were a breed of wild cattle indigenous to Europe, North Africa, and Asia. Extinct since the early 17th century, these majestic, horned beasts have long held a mythological status, believed to embody supernatural powers. In the early 20th century, German scientists began a series of attempts to resurrect the species under the auspices of the Nazi regime; such experiments continue today in various forms. Berlin-based filmmakers Anja Dornieden and Juan David González Monroy use this history to fashion a poetic and deadpan 16mm work of fanciful nonfiction that calls attention to itself as a constructed version of a strange reality.

The man’s mostly unsolicited remarks form an unsparing, stitched-together modern-day monologue that alternates between absurd and chilling, reasonable and grotesque. Filmed in Buenos Aires in October 2019, Heinz Emigholz’s spare continuation—and sardonic distillation—of certain themes explored in The Last City is morbid, confrontational, and hilarious. Thursday, October 1 - Tuesday, October 6 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600466281795-814S1JCJFQ6JDSZGCJWW/Tango-of-the-Widower-1600x900-c-default.jpg TropicalFRONT - Latin American Films at the 58th New York Film Festival THE TANGO OF THE WIDOWER AND ITS DISTORTING MIRROR / EL TANGO DEL VIUDO Y SU ESPEJO DEFORMANTE (Raúl Ruiz & Valeria Sarmiento, Chile, 2020, 64 min.) This latest dispatch from beyond the grave by the late legendary Chilean director Raúl Ruiz (completed, as ever, by his widow, the filmmaker Valeria Sarmiento) takes as its basis an abandoned 1967 effort by Ruiz, begun well before his exile from Chile after Augusto Pinochet’s brutal seizure of power in 1973. Working from the ethereal, surrealistic, Poe-like images that Ruiz left behind, Sarmiento has reconstructed the story her husband had wished to tell: that of a sickly literature professor haunted by the memory of his wife (who has recently committed suicide) and attempting to carry on as normal despite the ever-weakening boundary between his dreams and waking life. The Tango of the Widower is paradoxically both an early Ruiz film and a radically contemporary experiment, at once the birth of a new work and the resurrection of a work that never was. Wednesday, September 23 - Monday, September 28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600467145478-B657J00C8A2MV8BBCHKV/Malembe-1600x900-c-default.jpg TropicalFRONT - Latin American Films at the 58th New York Film Festival ’Shorts Program 3: Letters from Home’ MALEMBE (Luis Arnías, Venezuela/USA, 2020, 12min.) Through its rhythmic montage and mix of observational and surreal imagery, Malembe forges oblique linkages between the United States and Venezuela, conveying the strange dissociation of being uprooted, of living between places. As a knife cuts through sky, through snow, and through fruit, quasi-ethnographic footage—with its conventional markers of music, food, ritual—joins with home-movie auto-portraiture of a New England winter, communicating a sense of dislocation at once vertiginously queasy and absurdly comic. NOTES, IMPRINTS (ON LOVE): PART I (Alexandra Cuesta, USA/Ecuador, 2020, 19 min.) Alexandra Cuesta’s film collects sketches, texts, and minor epiphanies. Summery landscapes, lakeside reveries, desolate construction sites and diners, blighted strip mall suburbia, sunny autumns—these fragments accumulate into a portrait of domesticity and love that nonetheless betrays a quiet unease, with the camera becoming a tool for the exorcism of specters. CORRESPONDENCE (Carla Simón and Dominga Sotomayor, Spain/Chile, 2020, 20 mIn.) In patchwork epistolary form, a correspondence between two filmmakers unfolds in images, sounds, and words, as they report on their lives, exchange pictures, and describe their dreams. The recent deaths of elder relatives raises the question of maternity and the futures of their families, their countries, and their art. Is it possible to make films and have children? Friday, September 25 - Wednesday, September 30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600466144856-VIGHDC4IMSUPB40GSMMQ/aqui-y-alla.jpg TropicalFRONT - Latin American Films at the 58th New York Film Festival ’Shorts Program 6: Here and Elsewhere’ ’AQUÍ Y ALLÁ (Melisa Liebenthal, Argentina/France, 2019, 21 min.) Through digital interfaces, maps, and archival materials, Melisa Liebenthal jumps between past and present, here and there, to trace the complicated path of her family’s migration from 1930s Berlin to pre-revolutionary China to Buenos Aires, where the filmmaker was born. The material world, scanned and converted into data, becomes material again, scrambling the concepts of location, national origin, and home. APIYEMIYEKî? (Ana Vaz, Brazil/France/Portugal/Netherlands, 2019, 27 min.) Through dynamic superimpositions and collisions of sound and image, Ana Vaz reanimates an archive of hundreds of drawings made by the Waimiri-Atroari people of the Brazilian Amazon. Now in the care of literacy educator and indigenous rights activist Egydio Schwade, these materials provide vital firsthand collective documentation of the violent oppression, land expropriation, and genocide of native Amazonian peoples under Brazil’s military dictatorship.

The Cinema Tropical Collection Announces Its Second Slate With Three Genre-Breaking Brazilian Films IN THE HEART OF THE WORLD A film by Gabriel Martins and Maurilio Martins (No Coração do Mundo, Brazil, 2019, 121 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) “A sprawling feature by Gabriel and Maurílio Martins, In the Heart of the World offers a vivid depiction of a close-knit community in the city of Contagem, where the filmmakers are from. In this multi-character ensemble, the inhabitants of a poor neighborhood yearn for a better life: some get involved in crime, others just try and get by. Using a mix of professional and amateur actors, the directors create a kaleidoscopic, inventively photographed portrait of struggle, hope, and faith.” — Film at Lincoln Center Premieres Thursday, April 30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1587820673290-DLH62TP52VLN8651QMUJ/Veredas_IsTheCityTheOnlyOne_02.jpg TropicalFRONT - The Cinema Tropical Collection Announces Its Second Slate With Three Genre-Breaking Brazilian Films IS THE CITY ONLY ONE? A film by Adirley Queirós (A Cidade É Uma Só?, Brazil, 2011, 79 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) “The fascinating debut feature from Adirley Queirós (director of White Out, Black In and Once There Was Brasília) is a fiction/documentary hybrid focusing on a satellite city of Brasilia called Ceilândia. This administrative region—its name derived from the acronym CEI (Invasion Eradication Campaign)—was created in the 1970s to remove and relocate the low-income neighborhoods encroaching on the capital. Half a century after the construction of Brasilia, Is the City Only One? reflects on the spatial and social exclusions that have defined the relationship between the federal district, its surroundings, and the people who built the city from nothing.” — Film at Lincoln Center Premieres Sunday, May 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1587820758452-6LZ1BNRJQZPGX6DD57PG/Veredas_YourBonesAndYourEyes_06-1600x900-c-default.jpg TropicalFRONT - The Cinema Tropical Collection Announces Its Second Slate With Three Genre-Breaking Brazilian Films YOUR BONES AND YOUR EYES A film by Caetano Gotardo (Seus Ossos e Seus Olhos, Brazil, 2019, 118 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) “In Caetano Gotardo’s follow-up to The Moving Creatures, João, a middle-class filmmaker living and working in São Paulo, has extensive conversations with friends and strangers, including best friend Irene, who cannot let go of memories of her ex, or a young man he tries to pick up on the metro. Piece by piece, João’s encounters, discussions, and monologues increasingly inspire him, and he begins to reconsider his attitude toward the world around him. In addition to life and love, the creative process emerges as a recurring theme, recalling the films of Éric Rohmer and Hong Sang-soo.” — Film at Lincoln Center Premieres Thursday, May 7 https://www.cinematropical.com/cinema-tropical/daily-recommendation-surire monthly 0.5 2020-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1587769884311-FY986RRRCMYI71BQOWFS/surire-1-1600x900-c-default.jpg TropicalFRONT -

With William Wyler's How to Steal a Million as a guide, Sebastián Borensztein (Chinese Take-Away) directs the Argentine hit at the local box office. Set in Argentina in December 2001, the film follows a group of friends and neighbors pool together all of their savings to reactivate an agricultural cooperative and the economy of their small town. The day after they deposit the group's money in the bank, Argentina's banking system collapses, and they lose it all. But they soon find out that they are not only victims of the country's crisis, they have been scammed by an unscrupulous lawyer and bank manager who were poised to take advantage of the situation. In a twist on the heist film, this small town group of everymen and women bands together and puts a plan into action to recover what’s rightfully theirs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570563083274-F88UGTMXF2K7M90TVMZB/uspantan4kgradedscope.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders BELGIUM: Our Mothers / Nuestras madres A film by César Díaz In an interesting and surprising geopolitical twist, Belgium has selected the debut feature by Guatemalan-born director César Díaz. Winner of the Cámera d’Or at the last edition of the Cannes Film Festival, Our Mothers is a fiction features that looks at the horrors of genocide. The film is set in contemporary Guatemala, as the whole country is immersed in the trial of the soldiers who sparked the civil war, and the victim statements come one after another. Ernesto is a young anthropologist working for the Forensic Foundation; his job is to identify the missing. One day, while hearing the account of an old woman, he thinks he has found a lead that might guide him to his father, a guerrillero who went missing during the war. Against his mother's wishes, he flings himself body and soul into the case, looking for truth and resilience. The film has been acquired in the U.S. by Outsider Pictures with an expected theatrical release in early 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570564329972-4WXV87NDZYGPSXA7I0RV/TuMeManques_01-Rodrigo-Orozco-e1559772103805.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders BOLIVIA: Tu Me Manques A film by Rodrigo Bellott Winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the last edition of Outfest, the Los Angeles LGBTQ Film Festival, Rodrigo Bellott’s Tu Me Manques, is his own film adaptation of his stage play, which was a sensation in Bolivia few years ago. Starring Argentine actor Oscar Martinez and Spanish actress and Almodóvar muse Rossy de Palma, Tu Me Manques is an emotional exploration of three men’s struggles to reconcile identity and heritage. Following his son Gabriel’s death, Jorge travels from conservative Bolivia to New York City to confront Gabriel’s boyfriend Sebastian. While the two battle over Jorge’s inability to accept his son, Sebastian channels his grief into a bold new play in honor of his lost love, in which Gabriel’s inner turmoil is transformed into an eye-popping gay fantasia. Tu Me Manques will have its New York premiere as closing night of New Fest: New York Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Film Festival later this month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570587451668-RFFHG1EI8HJGPXE9YNAS/Spider_01.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders CHILE: Spider / Araña A film by Andrés Wood From Sundance Award-winning director Andrés Wood comes Spider, a dark political thriller about the ambition of power. Through two different timelines, one set on the eve of the Chilean coup d'etat in 1973 and one in the present day, Spider explores the evolution of radical political activism as well as a dangerously charged love triangle. Inés (22), Justo (28) and Gerardo (23), belong to a violent nationalist group that want to overthrow the Marxist government in the 70s. Amid the fervor of this conflict they find themselves wrapped up in a passionate love triangle and commit a political crime that separates them forever. Forty years later, Gerardo appears. He is inspired, not only by revenge, but also by an obsession to revive the nationalist cause. The police catch him with an arsenal of weapons. Inés, today an influential businesswoman, will do whatever it takes to stop Gerardo from revealing her and her husband Justo’s past. But how can they erase the pulse of a political and sexual passion that still resonates today? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570590381594-RX6EBO0UJHLQKD1NZLZT/01KEY_THE_INVISIBLE_LIFE_OF_EURIDICE_GUSMAO_%25C2%25A9Bruno%2BMachadoKEY-2000-2000-1125-1125-crop-fill.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders BRAZIL: The Invisible Life of Eurídice Gusmão / A vida invisível de Eurídice Gusmão A film by Karim Aïnouz Winner of the top prize for Best Film in the Un Certain Regard competition at the 72nd edition of the Cannes Film Festival, Karim Aïnouz’s The Invisible Life of Eurídice Gusmão / A Vida Invisível de Eurídice Gusmão has been selected as Brazil’s Oscar candidate. Billed as a ‘tropical melodrama,’ The Invisible Life of Eurídice Gusmão is set in Rio de Janeiro in 1950 and follows Euridice, 18 and Guida, 20, two inseparable sisters. They live at home, and each has a dream: becoming a renowned pianist, or finding true love. Because of their father, they are forced to live without one another. Separated, they will take control of their destiny, while never giving up on their hope of being reunited. The film has been acquired for U.S. distribution by Amazon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570564600811-D4EI6ZH29IS8BCL4VFYH/image-asset.jpeg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders COLOMBIA: Monos A film by Alejandro Landes Monos, Alejandro Landes’ awe-inspiring third feature, is a breathtaking survivalist saga set on a remote mountain in Latin America. The film tracks a young group of soldiers and rebels—bearing names like Rambo, Smurf, Bigfoot, Wolf and Boom-Boom—who keep watch over an American hostage, Doctora (Julianne Nicholson). The teenage commandos perform military training exercises by day and indulge in youthful hedonism by night, an unconventional family bound together under a shadowy force known only as The Organization. After an ambush drives the squadron into the jungle, both the mission and the intricate bonds between the group begin to disintegrate. Order descends into chaos and within Monos the strong begin to prey on the weak in this vivid, cautionary fever-dream. With a rapturous score by Mica Levi, director Landes examines the chaos and absurdity of war from the unique perspective of adolescence, recalling Lord of the Flies and Beau Travail in a way that feels wholly original. Landes brings together a diverse young cast of both seasoned professionals (including Hannah Montana's Moisés Arias) and untrained neophytes and thrusts them into an unforgiving, irrational and often surreal environment where anything can happen—even peace. Monos is currently playing in U.S. theaters with a good success, and distributed by Neon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570587690565-71SZ2077FULULNK80LI4/AwakeningoftheAnts.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders COSTA RICA: The Awakening of the Ants / El despertar de las hormigas A film by Antonella Sudasassi Antonella Sudasassi’s debut feature is a subtle, arresting portrait of a young woman's emancipation, Isa (Daniella Valenciano) lives with her husband Alcides (Leynar Gomez) and their two young daughters in a small Costa Rican town, surrounded by loving family and friends. But when Alcides begins to pressure Isa to have a third child—a son—her world slowly begins to unravel. The idea of cutting back on her burgeoning dressmaking business to allow her to care for another child is not something Isa relishes, but her concern seems to float right over Alcides' head. As her feelings of desperation intensify, Isa takes fate into her own hands. Mixing naturalistic details of family life with surreal flourishes, The Awakening of the Ants compassionately charts Isa's determined journey to carve her own path. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570588770136-5UV2LVLSLUWTM1ZLRXGU/www.instagram.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders CUBA: A Translator / Un traductor A film by Rodrigo Barriuso and Sebastián Barriuso Rooted in the little-known true story of how twenty thousand Chernobyl victims were eventually treated in Cuba, A Translator unfolds as a tale at once historical and personal, brought to life in crisply shot, beautifully realized period detail of a Havana on the brink of economic crisis. Set in Havana in 1989, the film follows Russian literature professor Malin, who receives a mysterious note at the university with orders from the government sending him to a local hospital, where he learns he is expected to act as translator between Cuban doctors and the families of young patients from the Chernobyl disaster. Initially raging against his new role, Malin is forced to stay on and eventually becomes deeply devoted to his patients. But while he becomes “king of the kids” at the hospital, his relationships with his pregnant wife and young son suffer. Meanwhile, life around all of them shifts as the “Special Period”—the economic crisis in Cuba that followed the dissolution of the Soviet Union—begins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570588710001-KQBXOM5OK109I8IAXOV4/Unknown.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: The Projectionist / El proyeccionista A film by José María Cabral Young and prolific filmmaker José María Cabral will represent the Caribbean island at the Oscars for the third time (after Jacque Mate in 2012 and Woodpeckers in 2017. Cabral’s seventh feature film had its world premiere at the last edition of the Miami Film Festival. In The Projectionist, Eliseo is confined to live his existence infatuated with a woman who is present only through a projected film reel. On an eventful night, the reels are damaged and Eliseo is left completely devoid of any connection with his beloved projection. In this new existence, he is plunged into a search for the real identity of the woman he so passionately and lustfully loved for so many years but in order to accomplish this journey he must appeal to all he knows, project movies, in the most remote and poorest areas in the Dominican Republic, accompanied by a free-spirited girl that will show him that blood is thicker than water in more ways than one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570563774974-JS9S48AGP25MJURDK1PB/ECUADOR_THE-LONGEST-NIGHT-1-1200x675.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders ECUADOR: La Mala Noche A film by Gabriela Calvache Gabriela Calvache’s acclaimed debut feature La Mala Noche (The Longest Night), had its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival, and has successfully played at numerous international film festivals including Guadalajara, Edinburgh, and the HBO New York Latino Film Festival, where it won the Best International Feature Award. The film follows Dana — a smart and beautiful woman forced to resort to prostitution in order to make a living — skillfully played by Colombian actress Nöelle Schönwald (Love in the Time of Cholera). Dana must deliver most of her income to a mafia boss who protects and exploits her. She's good at what she does, a job she landed by mistake, out of love. Perhaps, if she behaves well enough, she may earn her freedom, but her daughter's illness and addiction to a pharmaceutical drug prevent her from reaching her goals. An unexpected incident gives her the opportunity to break free from her captor and seek justice with her own hands. A co-production between Calvache’s Cineática Films and Geminiano Pineda’s Cine Canibal of Mexico, La Mala Noche is a bold thriller that ultimately becomes a poignant female-centered indictment of human trafficking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570587883205-C19HKEDURUQNH1OXQZB8/cafe-2-600x339.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders HONDURAS: Blood, Passion and Coffee / Café con sabor a mi tierra A film by Carlos Membreño Carlos Membreño’s Blood, Passion and Coffee marks the second Honduran Oscar candidate, after Hispano Durón’s Morazan in 2017. The film, inspired by real events, revolves around a coffee producing family (from Marcala, Honduras) in which their harvest is impacted by the plague of rust and low coffee prices. Trying to survive, migration will be one of the options to save their farm. But it will not be the biggest obstacle they will have to overcome, but also death will put them to the test and measure them to see if a strong family bond is unbreakable; showing the sacrifice, passion and faith that exists behind the cup of coffee consumed in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570563812724-R3F4DUGLM5YZLFQIX1W6/the-chambermaid-ventana-sur-fest-traveler1.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders MEXICO: The Chambermaid / La camarista A film by Lila Avilés One of the best reviewed films of the year—currently number three in Rotten Tomatoes’ list of best films of the year—Lila Avilés’ acclaimed debut feature is a poignant and delicate class portrait. The Chambermaid follows Eve — played by the wonderful Gabriela Cartol—a young chambermaid working in one of the most luxurious hotels in Mexico City, an exclusive glass tower inhabited by wealthy guests whose lives she imagines by their belongings left behind and their absences. Long, laborious shifts prevent Eve from caring for her child as she helps guests with their own children, but she believes she can better her situation after she’s promoted to work at executive-level suites, for which she accepts a grueling schedule. In keeping with her desire to improve her lot, she simultaneously enrolls in the hotel’s adult education program. An incipient friendship with her coworker and an awkward, silent flirtation with a window-washer prod her toward much needed bravery. When things don’t turn out as planned, Eve transforms her solitary explorations and newfound courage into the strength to face a life outside the high-class prison that’s entrapped her, breaking rules and discovering herself. Inspired by Avilés’ theater play of the same name — in turn inspired by Sophie Calle’s 1980 artistic project “The Hotel,” in which the French artist worked as a chambermaid in a Venice hotel—The Chambermaid is a standout among a thriving new generation of Mexican and Latin American female filmmakers. With impeccable cinematography, a near-documentary eye, and a humanistic gaze, the film signals Avilés as a talent to watch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570588078621-ZHO1DA6AHPS8VC2NA9TF/tumblr_inline_pe2821U5c81rpb47l_1280.png TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders PERU: Retablo A film by Alvaro Delgado Aparicio Retablo, the debut feature by Álvaro Delgado Aparicio, has been named the Peruvian candidate for the 92nd edition of the Academy Awards, with the aim of getting the second nomination for the South American nation since the 2009 film The Milk of Sorrow by Claudia Llosa. Retablo, which had its world premiere at the 2018 Berlin Film Festival, tells the story of 14-year-old Segundo, who lives with his parents in a village high in the high mountains of Peru. His father Noé is a respected artist and Segundo’s role model. Noé hand-crafts altarpieces, decorated shrines for church and home, and is teaching Segundo the necessary skills to carry on in his footsteps. But cracks have developed in their close relationship because Noé is keeping a dark secret. With brutal honesty and saturated colors, the film peeks behind the facade of a seemingly intact village community where homophobic attitudes enforced by patriarchal laws are carried out with remorseless violence. It sketches a visually powerful panorama of a world in which a young artist is searching for his niche. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570590287923-NVK24MS6IC27EP9NA2I3/Panama.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders PANAMA: Everybody Changes / Todos cambiamos A film by Arturo Montenegro Panama was the first Latin American country to select its candidate for the international feature film competition at the 92nd edition of the Academy Awards. The Central American country has selected the drama Everybody Changes / Todos cambiamos by Arturo Montenegro as its contender. Starring Gaby Gnazzo, Andrea Pérez Meana, Susan Elizabeth Castillo, Mónica Lola Díaz, and José Manuel Arispe, and shot in Panama and Thailand, Everybody Changes tells the story of Federico and Carol, parents of three children who ave a perfect home, but on their movie nights they share a secret called Lizzie. When this is discovered, it initiates a transformation that tests the strength and love of each family member. This is the sixth Panamanian Oscar contender since the country first sent a candidate to the Oscars in 2014. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570564929229-GLCIF1DL197JMBDCYEKQ/The-Moneychanger-4-1600x900-c-default.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders URUGUAY: The Moneychanger / Así habló el cambista A film by Federico Veiroj Federico Veiroj (The Apostate) delivers a quirky period thriller set in Uruguay, ripe with mystery, love and deadpan humor that delves into the attractive world of capital flight. The film had its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival last month, it played at the San Sebastian Film Festival, and is having its U.S. premiere this week as part of the New York Film Festival. In the mid-70s, the regional economy drew a lot of scoundrels into Uruguay. Institutions were bankrupted; there was a military government; the subversives were behind bars and, for certain sections of the Brazilian and Argentinian economies with a low reputation, the Uruguayan financial market seemed like an ideal place to make money disappear. This is when Humberto Brause begins a meteoric race in the buying and selling of foreign currency, sponsored by his own father-in-law, a veteran in the business of capital flight. But blinded by his excessive ambition, Humberto tramples everything and everyone in his path until he’s gotten his hands on the family business and accepts a suspicious assignment: laundering the largest sum of money he has ever seen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570589918361-IM0BVVY0K5J4U1IYGTT8/BeingImpossible-640x360.jpg TropicalFRONT - Oscars: Meet This Year's Latin American Contenders VENEZUELA: Being Impossible / Yo, imposible A film by Patricia Ortega The second film by Patricia Ortega follows Ariel, a young pious dressmaker whose first sexual encounter proves an extremely painful experience.

This truth immerses her in the path to find forgiveness and freedom. https://www.cinematropical.com/cinema-tropical/mexicos-david-zonana-wins-best-director-award-at-the-zurich-film-festival monthly 0.5 2019-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1570498715955-MXOW2Z07VQ78539K9TJJ/ZonanaZurich.jpg TropicalFRONT -

In English) — Winner, Best U.S. Latino Film Q&A with the filmmaker Buy Tickets A lyrical, intimate story documented over ten years, The Sentence explores the devastating consequences of mass incarceration and mandatory minimum drug sentencing. Filmmaker Rudy Valdez tells the story of his older sister, Cindy Shank, a mother of three young children serving a fifteen-year sentence in federal prison for her tangential involvement in a Michigan drug ring years before. The Sentence follows Cindy’s struggles to be present in her children's lives from behind bars and her daughters' experiences growing up without their mother at home, while her husband, parents, and siblings fight for her release before the last months of the Obama administration's Clemency Project.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) — Winner, Best Documentary Buy Tickets Friends Leidiane and Andreia live on the outskirts of Vila Mariquinha - a peripheral neighborhood of the interior Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte. Leid waits with her children for her husband to return from prison. Andreia wants to move. Meanwhile, the friends try to steer clear of an impending drug war between traffickers in the region. Juliana Antunes’s debut feature Baronesa, winner of the Audience Prize at the 2017 FIDMarseille Festival, follows these two women as their conversations penetrate the facts of life: family drugs, sex, death. With its predominantly female crew and nonprofessional cast, Baronesa confirms Antunes' place as a powerful new voice in Brazilian cinema.

In English) — Special Mention, Best U.S. Latino Film Q&A with the filmmakers Buy Tickets At 306 Hollywood Avenue in Newark, former dress designer Annette Ontell lived for 71 years in a nondescript white house. After her death in 2011, her grandchildren Elan and Jonathan were left with her belongings, from toothbrushes to tax documents. Instead of throwing away this lifetime of detritus, Venezuelan-American filmmakers Elan and Jonathan began a meticulous process of cataloguing and archiving everything Annette left behind. The result is this magical documentary, an inspiring look at the extraordinary stories and histories hidden away in the everyday.

In Spanish with English subtitles) — Winner, Best Film Buy Tickets In a remote South American colony in the late eighteenth century, officer Zama of the Spanish crown waits in vain for a transfer to a more prestigious location. He suffers small humiliations and petty politicking as he increasingly succumbs to lust and paranoia, progressively losing hope as well as his mind. The latest film from Lucretia Martel (The Headless Woman)—one of the world's greatest living directors—is a tonally and stylistically singular work, adapting Antonio di Benedetto’s 1956 classic of Argentinean literature into a mysterious, modern masterpiece in its own right.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) — Winner, Best Director Buy Tickets Filmmakers Juliana Rojas and Marco Dutra’s second collaboration (after the acclaimed Hard Labor) deftly integrates art-house and genre cinema to create a thrilling and dark gothic fable with sharp social commentary. Set in São Paulo, the film follows Clara, a lonely nurse from the outskirts of the city who is hired by mysterious and wealthy Ana to be the nanny of her soon to be born child. Against all odds, the two women develop a strong bond. But a fateful night marked by a full moon changes their plans. With powerful visuals and an impeccable cinematography (by Zama’s Rui Poças), Good Manners is Disney meets Jacques Tourneur. The film becomes an unexpected and wild werewolf movie unlike any other, and a poignant social and racial allegory on modern-day Brazilian society.

In French with English subtitles. New York Premiere) NEFANDUS (Carlos Motta, U.S./Colombia, 2013, 13 min. In Spanish and Kogi with English subtitles. New York Premiere) EX ISTO / EX IT (Cao Guimarães, Brazil, 2010, 86 min. In Portuguese, with English subtitles) Three visual artists reconsider the ‘New World,’ providing provocative alternative cartographies. Laura Huertas Millán’s Journey to a Land Otherwise Know—shot at a tropical greenhouse in Lille, France—uses textual accounts by European colonizers to create a fake ethnography of the New World critical of the ever-prevailing exoticism. In Carlos Motta’s visual essay Nefandus, an indigenous man and a Spanish-speaking man tell stories about acts of sodomy that took place in the Americas during the conquest, while Carlos Guimarães Ex Isto presents a historical provocation imaging French philosopher René Descartes on a tropical journey in Brazil. Followed by a discussion with director Carlos Motta.

In Spanish with English subtitles) ESTRELLAS / STARS (Federico León and Marcos Martínez, Argentina, 2007, 64 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) ‘Under the Same Stars’ offers a humorous meditation on the portrayal of poverty in Latin America, and the ways the poor are manipulated by the local and transnational media. Luis Ospina and Carlos Mayolo’s 1978 classic Agarrando Pueblo is a scathing satire of what they characterized as “poverty-porn,” while Federico León and Marcos Martínez’s documentary feature Stars follows a group of residents from a shantytown in the outskirts of Buenos Aires who find professional careers playing poor people in film and television productions.

In English) SIP'OHI, EL LUGAR DEL MANDURÉ / SIP'OHI, MANDURE'S PLACE (Sebastián Lingardi, Argentina, 2011, 63 min. In Wichí with English subtitles) Three works made by very dissimilar artists present an ideal opportunity to showcase the limits and pitfalls of ethnographic cinema. In Day Two, director Dante Cerano provides an ironic portrait of the second day of a P'urhepecha wedding ceremony. Juan Downey challenges the anthropological gaze of the Yanomami in his irreverent The Laughing Aligator, while in Sebastián Lingardi’s Sip’Ohi, Manduré’s Place, an indigenous man returns to his hometown with the aim of listening and collecting stories of ichí culture, transmitted orally from generation to generation. Followed by a discussion with special guest Amalia Córdova.

In Spanish, Portuguese, and French with English subtitles) LOS GUANTES MÁGICOS / THE MAGIC GLOVES (Martín Rejtman, Argentina/France, 2003, 90 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) A fictitious drastic temperature drop in Recife and Buenos Aires offer an excellent starting point for two cherished South American filmmakers to create poignant and multilayered critiques about globalization and late capitalism. Brazilian director Kleber Mendonça Filho (Neighboring Sounds) creates a satirical mockumentary chronicling an odd weather phenomenon and its local effects in Cold Tropics. In the absurdist comedy The Magic Gloves, Argentinean director Martín Rejtman delivers his distinctive deadpan humor in a story about two dysfunctional middle-class couples struggling to make ends meet.

No dialogue) MARIMBAS DEL INFIERNO / MARIMBAS FROM HELL (Julio Hernández Cordón, Guatemala/Mexico, 2010, 74 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) In the hybrid comedy Marimbas from Hell, Julio Hernández Cordón tells the feverish story of the improbable artistic collaboration between two wretched musicians: Don Alfonso, a homeless marimba player, and Blacko, a pioneer of Guatemalan heavy metal music. The film is preceded by Angel Nevarez and Valerie Tevere’s Touching from a Distance, which serves as a musical appetizer toying with the idea of the fragmentation of the public space to the rhythms of mariachi music.

In Spanish with English subtitles) ‘Nueva York’ offers an off-kilter representation of the city. Ecuadorean artist Alexandra Cuesta presents an experimental portrayal of Jackson Heights in Recordando el Ayer, where memory and identity are observed through the textures of everyday life. Dominican-born Nelson Carlo, in his elegantly-crafted debut documentary feature film, follows Gladys and her daughter who share their isolated lives in an apartment in Washington Heights, creating an unsettling portrait of the two women.

In Spanish with English subtitles) ISMAR (Gustavo Beck, Brazil, 2007, 12 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) UN DÍA / ONE DAY (Leonardo Sagástegui, Peru, 2002, 19 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) TÓMBOLA / RAFFLE (Ximena Cuevas, Mexico, 2001, 8 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) ‘TV or Not to Be,’ is the question embraced by Ximena Cuevas, Gustavo Beck and Leonardo Sagástegui. With her characteristic and unflinching humor, Cuevas offers two critical takes on mass media and the society of consumption. Beck sketches a portrait of Ismar, contrasting the naivety of a kid fueled by the allure of television with a person searching for his own identity, and Sagástegui himself becomes a contestant on a popular game show, in his caustic performance-driven piece One Day.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) HIROSHIMA (Pablo Stoll, Uruguay/Colombia/Argentina/Spain, 2009, 79 min. No dialogue with English intertitles) In ‘The Ordinary Unspoken’ two filmmakers, one Brazilian, the other Uruguayan, push verbal language to its cinematographic limits. Gabriel Mascaro’s Ebb and Flow follows a young deaf man who installs car stereos in a small dealership, while Pablo Stoll presents an unlikely slacker silent film—with the clever use of intertitles—about a young man who sings in a rock band in the sui generis Hiroshima.

In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) AMELIA & MORENA (Andrea Franco, Peru/USA, 2010, 10 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) REIMON (Rodrigo Moreno, Argentina/Germany, 2014. 72 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) The figure of the maid embodies a plethora of Latin America’s gender, social and class contradictions. In ‘Domestic Dialetic’ three filmmakers present varied fiction and non-fiction perspectives on the realitites of servants in the contemporary world. Nicolás Pereda’s The Palace follows the everyday lives of 17 women who live together and are trained for various jobs, including as domestic workers. Amelia & Morena by Andrea Franco depicts the relationship between a young woman and her long-time maid, and Rodrigo Moreno’s Reimon is a poignant portrait of a young woman who works as a maid in a pretentiously liberal household.

In Spanish with English subtitles) "A restless formalist and one of the most inventive practitioners of the hybrid film, the prolific Pereda casts two of his regular collaborators, Gabino Rodríguez and Teresa Sánchez, as son and mother in a domestic drama about a returning prodigal father. But the reality of the film soon starts to slip. An actor is replaced; scenes are repeated with slight variations; worlds collide as actors interact with fictional characters. Both playful and radical, Greatest Hits is one of Pereda’s most emotionally resonant films, and also, as the title suggests, a culminating work.” —First Look, Museum of the Moving Image Friday, September 6 at 6:45pm; Sunday, September 8 at 9pm; and Monday, September 9 at 8:45pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467473552786-CPFJMQ8HXMXKG97V8N4B/image-asset.png GenMex Part II AFTER LUCÍA / DESPUÉS DE LUCÍA (Michel Franco, Mexico, 2012, 102 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Winner of the top prize at the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival, the sophomore feature film by Franco, “one of the finest and most imaginative young directors on the scene” (Howard Feinstein, Screen Daily), is an intense and shocking exploration of the violent effects of bullying. The film tells the story of Alejandra, who has just moved with her depressed father to Mexico City after her mother has passed away. As she starts classes in a new school, she becomes the target of escalating torment by bullies. Their torments grow in intensity and cruelty, wearing down the weary Alejandra’s resistance.

New York Premiere) A shaman’s mystical invocations, a protest of furious electricians on hunger strike, and a euphoric soccer crowd collide in the Zócalo of Mexico City, the country’s central square and ancient ceremonial heart of the Aztec empire. Mitote (Nahuatl for chaos or celebration) transforms the plaza into a wrestling ring, where national commemorations, postmodern rituals, and the remains of pre-Hispanic culture clash. Polgovsky’s follow up to his acclaimed documentary film The Inheritors is an intricate portrait of the different layers that coexist – sometimes in conflict – in Mexican culture. Saturday, September 7 at 4:45pm; and Wednesday, September 11 at 9pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467472368728-EPET56V5AXMX7E61EJW2/image-asset.jpeg GenMex Part II FOGO (Yulene Olaizola, Mexico/Canada, 2012, 61 min., digital video. In English. New York Premiere) The deterioration of a small community in Fogo Island, off the coast of Canada, is forcing its inhabitants to leave and resettle. Places once occupied by humans are now becoming part of the tundra landscape. In spite of a condemned future, there are some residents who decide to remain, holding on to their memories and grieving for the past, when life in Fogo was different. Olaizola’s third feature film, a minimalist Mexican-Canadian drama, follows in the footsteps of her previous film Artificial Paradises, pushing the boundaries between fiction and documentary film.

In Japanese with English subtitles) “Epic. […] González-Rubio’s long, contemplative takes feel like an osmotic experience.” –G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle Winner of the Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival, the third feature film by acclaimed director González-Rubio (Alamar) is a stunning and poetic documentary shot in a tiny mountain community in Japan, made at the invitation of Japanese director Naomi Kawase and the Nara Film Festival. Blending documentary and narrative, Inori (Japanese for ‘prayer’) depicts the lives of the aging population of the isolated village. As the younger generations have left to look for work elsewhere, the remaining elderly inhabitants perform their everyday routine with stoicism and dignity.

[…] Lipkes proves in this opera prima that he is a talent to watch.” –Howard Feinstein, Screen Daily Lipkes’s slow-burning film follows a nameless elderly man (played by non-actor Issac López) on his last day of life in the seedy streets of downtown Mexico City. Beset by memories, he roams through his past while everyday life slips by him. “Rendered with intensity and rigor” (Robert Koehler, Variety), Malaventura marks the auspicious and dignified filmmaking debut of film critic and programmer Lipkes.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Ray (Andrés Almeida), a revolutionary activist, and Ramona (real-life singer Jessy Bulbo), a rebellious punk rock girl, are a young couple who hate inequality and social injustice in their country, and together try to advocate for a better world. Pushed over the edge by the violent repression in Salvador Atenco, they feel increasingly drawn to commit a terrorist act in the name of their political beliefs and their love. Terrazas’s poignant directorial debut is a frenetic love story in a self-destructive political activist context, set to the rhythm of punk rock.

HALLEY (Sebastián Hofmann (Mexico, 2012, 84 min., digital video) Co-presented by Latin Horror "Beto, a security guard in a Mexico City gym, quietly observes the healthy bodies of the muscle-bound patrons, which contrast sharply with his own physical deterioration. Afflicted with a strange illness, Beto surrenders to his condition and holes up in his apartment, injecting himself with embalming fluid to stem his increasing decay. Beto’s melancholy grows as he realizes – in the words of an affable morgue attendant – that ‘the diseased become the disease.’ Through the friendly advances of the gym’s female owner, Beto dances with the illusory promise of feeling alive again. Hofmann’s increasingly surrealistic feature debut subverts genre conventions and audience expectations, treating its living-dead protagonist with sensitivity and compassion." –Sundance Film Festival Sunday, September 8 at 7pm; and Tuesday, September 10 at 9:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467480380685-LGFYF2JDT5SEYOABR4GC/noquierodormirsola.jpg GenMex Part II SHE DOESN’T WANT TO SLEEP ALONE / NO QUIERO DORMIR SOLA (Natalia Beristain, Mexico, 2012, 82 min., digital video. In Spanish with English subtitles) Amanda is 33 years old and suffers from a condition: she cannot sleep alone. Her dull life is suddenly altered when she is forced to take care of her old alcoholic grandmother, Dolores (played by veteran actress Adriana Roel), a retired actress who lives on her past glories. Largely based on the filmmaker’s relationship to her grandmother, Beristain’s promising feature film, which had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, was the winner of the prize for Best Film at the 2012 Morelia Film Festival. Wednesday, September 11 at 7pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467480475724-5WH87893QS2ORQBJJENF/ultimoscristeros.jpg GenMex Part II THE LAST CHRISTEROS / LOS ÚLTIMOS CRISTEROS (Matías Meyer, Mexico/Netherlands, 2011, 90 min., 35mm. New York Theatrical Premiere Run) Matías Meyer’s The Last Christeros is a highly unusual historical film that takes a meditative, nearly non-narrative approach to portraying the experiences of those who continued to resist the Mexican government’s anti-Christian (especially anti-Roman Catholic) persecution, even following the official end of the Cristero War in 1929. Devoted to the cause, despite their increasing desperation and fatigue, and their yearning to rejoin their families, this band of rebels—whose genuine religious faith and spiritual innocence is apparent despite their paradoxical embrace of armed struggle—trudges exhaustedly through the hills and mountains of rural Mexico, experiencing moments of grace and beauty amid the violence and suffering. This third feature by Meyer (following Wadley and The Cramp) decisively establishes him as one of the most gifted of young Mexican filmmakers, and represents a striking combination of minimalist cinema and historical depiction. Eschewing a narrative chronicle of the War’s events, Meyer instead puts us in his weary fighters’ shoes, and emphasizes the quiet, strangely tranquil moments between battles.

75 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Q&A with Federico Veiroj Buy Tickets A clever and emotionally layered performance from Gonzalo Delgado is the heart of this fourth feature from Uruguayan auteur Federico Veiroj (The Apostate). With wry humor and an exquisite sense of place for Montevideo, Belmonte follows Javi (Delgado) at a crisis point in his life. He’s a successful painter in Uruguay’s capital city—presently exploring the tortured world of naked men while preparing an upcoming exhibition—but most of his time is spent working through strained relationships with his elderly parents, his pregnant ex-wife, and their 10-year-old daughter, Celeste (Olivia Molinaro Eijo). As in his second feature, A Useful Life, Veiroj demonstrates a deft ability to examine the art world with compelling ingenuity, this time through a genuinely funny and rich portrait of an artist pining for a luminous family life.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. North American Premiere) Buy Tickets A beguiling and enigmatic nocturnal experience, set in the peripheral and desolate spaces of the Brazilian city Belo Horizonte, Ewerton Belico and Samuel Marotta’s debut feature gradually wanders into the dreamlike territory of a trance film. Using afro-descendent poetics in its dialogue and soundtrack—a combination of electro-funk and contemporary versions of ancient chants—Outer Edge follows its characters through a labyrinthine circuit of chance encounters to evoke a city haunted by its past. Belico and Marotta, along with director of photography Leonardo Feliciano (Araby), capture an atmosphere of madness and despair with an exquisite, clear-eyed sense of place.

In Spanish with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Buy Tickets Alfredo Ovando Candia was a military general who served as Co-President of Bolivia from 1965–66 (and again from 1969–70) after overthrowing sitting President Víctor Paz Estenssoro. His political and military service connected him to the largest massacre of workers in the country’s history, as well as the military campaign in which Che Guevara was killed. Incorporating archival footage recorded during Ovando’s de facto government, home movies, and interviews with relatives, filmmaker Mauricio Alfredo Ovando’s debut feature studies the many profiles of his grandfather to juxtapose his family’s memories with the official history. Winner of the Best Director and FIPRESCI awards at the 2018 Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema, Still Burn is a courageous, perceptive documentary about how collective and personal memories are created from—and ultimately shape—a complicated legacy. Screening with PUNKY EYE (Ojo malcriado, Luis Arnías, Venezuela/USA, 2018, 15 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. North American Premiere) In Luis Arnías’s Punky Eye, memories become poetic vignettes, sometimes irrational, sometimes precisely conceptual, always stimulating and cinematic.

In Spanish with English subtitles. New York premiere) Q&A with Julio Hernández Cordón Buy Tickets The seventh film by Meso-American filmmaker Julio Hernández Cordón (I Promise You Anarchy) is a harrowing, blistering vision of 21st-century Mexico. In the near future, when women are endangered and the only order comes from the lawless and elusive cartel, a young girl named Huck (Matilde Hernández Guinea) must hide her gender in order to help her tormented drug addict father (Rogelio Sosa) manage an abandoned baseball field. Absurdist, macabre, and exhilarating, this highlight from the 2018 Cannes Directors’ Fortnight is like a cross between The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Mad Max, told through Hernández Cordón’s lo-fi futurist visual style.

IF THEY SOAK ME, I’LL BURN THEM (Nona. Si me mojan, yo los quemo, Camila José Donoso, Chile/Brazil/France/Korea, 2019, 100 min. North American Premiere) Q&A with Camila José Donoso Buy Tickets As with her previous features, Naomi Campbel and Casa Roshell, Chilean filmmaker Camila José Donoso’s richly detailed film fully immerses the viewer in its world, mixing digital, video, and 16mm to portray its beautifully ambivalent subject. At 66, Nona (Josefina Ramirez, José Donoso’s grandmother) lives alone and is recuperating from cataract surgery while a mysterious fire rages across southern Chile and generates unrest in her otherwise sleepy town.

In Spanish and German with English subtitles, New York Premiere) Q&A with Cristóbal León Buy Tickets Evoking Colonia Dignidad, an infamous torture colony operating during the Pinochet regime, The Wolf House is an animated film unlike any other, an exquisitely handcrafted surrealist docu-horror-fairy tale about one of Chile’s darkest periods. It begins with Mary, a young girl who hides in a mysterious house in southern Chile after escaping from a sect of German religious fanatics. Using stop-motion techniques and combining elements of various fables, photography, drawing, sculpture, and stage performance, Joaquín Cociña and Cristóbal León have created a nightmarish shapeshifter of a film.

In Aymara with English subtitles, New York Premiere) Buy Tickets In Óscar Catacora’s acclaimed debut feature—the first Peruvian movie shot entirely in the Aymara language—an elderly couple living in a remote part of the Andes faces the challenges of daily life with courage and determination. Like the protagonist couple in Ozu’s Tokyo Story, Willka and Phaxsi stoically carry the sadness of being forgotten by their long-absent son, and yearn for him to return home from the city. With magnificent cinematography, this landmark film delicately draws the emotional story of the filmmaker’s grandparents, who taught him Aymara when he was sent by his parents to live with them at age seven.

In Spanish with English subtitles. North American Premiere) Q&A with Iván Fund Buy Tickets A remarkable ensemble of young nonprofessional actors leads Argentine director Iván Fund’s latest feature—an oneiric vision of the apocalypse in which a strange incident sends the adults of a working-class neighborhood into an everlasting slumber. Left to their own devices, the town’s children gradually adapt to a peculiar new world that remains largely undisturbed by mankind’s absence. Fund draws inspiration from Sara Teasdale’s 1918 poem of the same name, lucidly translating the imagery and themes of the original text into a lyrical film about the regenerative, blissful elements of nature in the aftermath of calamity. Screening with THE CEMETERY LIGHTENS (El cementerio se alumbra, Luis Alejandro Yero, Cuba, 2018, 14 min. In Spanish with English subtitles.

Fashioning an intimately attuned portrait of an artist, Rocha uses his camera as an instrument to riff with Jards in a poetic exchange between images and music.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. For over 20 years, a subculture has emerged in Brazil under society's radar. It is the culture surrounding 'funk carioca', a musical rhythm which mixes the American electronic funk of the 1980s with the most diverse influences of Brazilian music. 'Baile funk' is one of the most interesting musical movements in the world, emerging from the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. Directors Wesley Pentz (Diplo), teamed up with Leandro HBL in 2005 to tell the story of the MC’s, DJ’s, dancers and cultural producers who have spent their lives in the favela and are creating this vibrant scene. Together, they visited 60 favelas and conducted more than 100 interviews in order to explore the culture that surrounds Funk Carioca. In doing so, they have created a portrait of a subculture that defines the youth of Rio’s dismissed population.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467142900859-9RMIYGO2OKK1TE3NGHAZ/image-asset.jpeg Music+Film: Brazil — Winter / Spring 2012 Thursday, April 11, 2012 at 7pm TEMPO REI Directed by Lula Buarque de Hollanda, Andrucha Waddington and Breno Silveira | Brazil, 1996, 90 min.

It takes considerably more than a week-long series of shows at Carnegie Hall, accolades in The New York Times, or the admiration of friends like Pedro Almodóvar, David Byrne and Michelangelo Antonioni, to make Caetano feel comfortable outside of Brazil. Wandering Heart is an enjoyable journey in search of answers to a series of questions that reveal Caetano in unprecedented intimacy.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Winner – Best Latin American Film of the Year Co-produced by acclaimed Argentinean filmmaker Lisandro Alonso (Jauja), the second feature film by Uruguayan director Manuel Nieto Zas is "a powerful and thought-provoking film" (The Hollywood Reporter) and a poignant meditation on legacy. The film tells the story of Ariel (played by non-professional actor Felipe Dieste), a university student involved in militant leftist activism who is faced with some difficult decisions when his father suddenly dies, leaving him in charge of their troubled ranch and forcing him to take on the role of a middle class bourgeois. Set in 2002 –the year of a major financial crisis in the small South American nation– The Militant is “a cinematic essay on the grasp and the limits of activism” (Howard Feinstein, Screen Daily).   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467130126338-GAVX3H2IZXC86RAE8R3G/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2015 Saturday, February 7, 3pm PURGATORIO: A JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF THE BORDER A film by Rodrigo Reyes (US/Mexico, 2013, 86 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Winner – Best U.S. Latino Film (ex aequo) Hailed as an “exquisitely crafted film with poetic overtones and a wide sweeping vision” by documentary filmmaker Alan Berliner, Rodrigo Reyes’ provocative essay film reimagines the U.S./Mexico border as a mythical place comparable to Dante’s purgatory, and leaving politics aside, he takes a fresh look at the brutal beauty of the border and the people caught in its spell. By capturing a stunning mosaic of compelling characters and broken landscapes that live on the both sides of the border, Reyes –one of Filmmaker Magazine’s New Faces of Independent Cinema– reflects on the flaws of human nature and the powerful absurdities of the modern world. An unusual border film in the auteur tradition of caméra-stylo, Purgatorio ultimately becomes a fable of humanity, an epic and visceral experience with powerful and lingering images.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467130180739-F5PK8SPOG8DTZVRQ8EHA/LasMarthas-1280x720.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2015 Saturday, February 7, 6pm LAS MARTHAS A film by Cristina Ibarra (US, 68 min. In Spanish and English with English subtitles) Winner – Best U.S. Latino Film (ex aequo) Q&A with filmmaker Cristina Ibarra The annual debutante ball in Laredo, Texas is unlike any other in the country. In 1939, the Society of Martha Washington was founded to usher each year's debutantes (called "Marthas") into proper society at the Colonial Pageant and Ball. The girls' attendants also dress as figures from America's colonial history and participate in traditional ceremonies. The centerpiece of the festivities is the Martha Washington Pageant and Ball, when the girls are presented in elaborate dresses that take up to a year to create. Celebrated as “a striking alternative portrait of border-town life” (New York Times), Cristina Ibarra’s Las Marthas, follows two Mexican American girls carrying this gilded tradition on their shoulders during a time of economic uncertainty and tension over immigration.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467130418756-648I0SRKEBOWO88Y7IN6/image-asset.png Cinema Tropical Festival 2015 Tuesday, February 25, 9pm LAS NIÑAS QUISPE | THE QUISPE GIRLS (Sebastián Sepúlveda, Chile/France/Argentina, 2013, 80 min. In Spanish with English subtitles). Winner - Best First Film “In the remote, almost primeval world of a nearly isolated Chilean mountainscape in 1974, three goat-herding sisters survive, somewhat rootlessly after the death of a fourth sister. Pinochet’s rise to power is a distant echo, and the new dictator’s edict against herding threatens their meager livelihood. The aging matriarch, Justa, is suspicious of the clothing salesman who visits occasionally; the youngest sister, Luciana, holds on to her romantic desires. Using a mix of actors (including Catalina Saavedra from The Maid) and non-actors, including Digna Quispe, the real sisters’ niece, this mesmerizing film, based on a true and tragic story, tells an intimate tale against a stark yet magnificent landscape. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival as part of Critics’ Week.” – First Look   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467130549692-FM8RWIRZYOB50K5YRRUC/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2015 Tuesday, February 25, 9pm EL ROSTRO | THE FACE (Gustavo Fontán, Argentina, 2013, 64 min. In Spanish with English subtitles).New York Premiere. Winner – Best Director, Fiction Film Directed by Gustavo Fontán –an accomplished Argentine filmmaker whose work is little known in this country– The Face is a lyrical and personal film shot in stunning black and white, where past and present, fiction and non-fiction mix together. A man who sails alone approaches an island on the Paraná River. Once he lands, he’s no longer alone. He shares a meal with another man –his father. There will also be a woman. And some kids. And nature, in the form of birds, plants, and the river, which is always present through its quietness and constant flowing. Fontán’s elegant and enigmatic feature film, was a selection of the Rome Film Festival, and was awarded the Best Director prize at the Buenos Aires Independent Film Festival (BAFICI).   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467130909620-ZHT414VOXRZRYBVG4PZY/NYTLatinoNetworkLogoLo.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467130913032-RMFDAFWA5EJRJ08JU59N/momilogo.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467130913905-ZI2Z19DLWSZH47WL8NUV/nalip2.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467131110849-6ZCB6ZVY0OX46B5ZXB40/spacer.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467131339529-PWMUFB2MYD26O16M28P8/HotelAmericanohi.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467131281937-BXE4Q5PIB5YDNH82Y223/mciny.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467131283477-N6M78CSZGZ4N3H5EUO5E/chileanembassy.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467131378190-WKG2HNOBBACBWOJOGLRB/spacer.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467131257354-2PC46I1WP6BP46L3ZP7R/Button-300px.png Cinema Tropical Festival 2015 https://www.cinematropical.com/cinema-tropical-festival-2014 daily 0.75 2016-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1466795656498-KCLCX3Q51N0ANPW5G75P/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467132588809-OT41HLPRYRPUE433RRJA/image-asset.png Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 Monday, February 24, 7pm TANTA AGUA (Ana Guevara and Leticia Jorge, Uruguay, 102 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Winner – Best First Film Intro by Co-Producer Tania Zarak What could be worse than being 14 and on vacation with your father, stuck indoors during a seemingly endless rainstorm? Alberto and his two children, Lucia and Federico, set off to a hot springs resort for a short vacation. Alberto, who doesn't see his kids much since the divorce, refuses to allow anything to ruin his plans. But the springs are closed until further notice due to heavy rains, and Lucia's adolescent rebellion clashes against her father's enthusiastic efforts for family quality time. Winner of multiple awards at different international film festivals, the debut feature film by the directing duo of Ana Guevara and Leticia Jorge, extends the artistry of recent Uruguayan cinema.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467132103832-7XXZ1I8JRA18DIB11RHM/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 Monday, February 24, 9pm LA CHICA DEL SUR/ THE GIRL FROM THE SOUTH A film by José Luis García (Argentina, 2012) Winner for Best Director (Documentary) Chance took photographer and filmmaker José Luis García to North Korea in July 1989 to attend the International Youth and Student Festival in Pyongyang, soon after the Tian’anmen massacre. But what seemed to be just another meeting of socialist delegations from all over the world –through one of the most impenetrable borders of the old communist world– becomes García’s obsession when South Korean peace activist Im Su-kyong shows up and revolutionizes the event by announcing she will cross the border by foot to go back to her country. Twenty years after recording that fascinating period with his Super VHS camera, García decides to go back through the footsteps of that enigmatic woman. Zigzagging and explosive, La chica del sur is marked by a unique life in the middle of the hurricane of history, but also by the eye –and a voice reflecting on its own process– of a filmmaker who sees in one character the condensation of everything he believes to be worth filming.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467132356686-ZB42M0IFAB2412TRGL79/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 Tuesday, February 25, 7pm WONDER WOMEN!

When Mari moves in across the street from Yolanda, they maintain their usual life routine, until an incident at school thrusts them into a friendship and into unknown territory. As their friendship grows, a yearning to explore their strange yet beautiful connection surfaces. Lost in their private world of unspoken affection, lingering gazes, and heart-felt confessions of uncertain futures, Yolanda's grades begin to slip while Mari's focus drifts away from her duties at a new job. Mounting pressures at home collide with their new-found connection, forcing them to choose between their obligations to others and staying true to themselves.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467132761589-678LOWTSYS5KPDRX6A6H/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 Wednesday, February 26, 7pm EL ALCALDE / THE MAYOR (Emiliano Altuna, Carlos F.

In Spanish, English, and French, with English subtitles) Winner – Best Director (Fiction Film) "Post Tenebras Lux ("light after darkness") is a new autobiographical feature from acclaimed director Carlos Reygadas (Silent Light), winner of the Best Director prize at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. Ostensibly the story of an upscale, urban family whose move to the Mexican countryside results in domestic crises and class friction, it’s a stunningly photographed, impressionistic psychological portrait of a family and their place within the sublime, unforgiving natural world. Reygadas conjures a host of unforgettable, ominous images: a haunting sequence at dusk as Reygadas’s real-life daughter wanders a muddy field as farm animals loudly circle and thunder and lightning threaten; a glowing-red demon gliding through the rooms of a home; a husband and wife visiting a swingers’ bathhouse with rooms named after famous philosophers. By turns entrancing and mystifying, Post Tenebras Lux palpably explores the primal conflicts of the human condition." – Film Forum   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467133084274-SJFZQCLS1FT2JF8MHX5V/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 Thursday, February 27, 7pm – Q&A with filmmaker VIOLA (Matías Piñeiro, Argentina, 2012, 65 min.

Acclaimed by the New York Times' Manohla Dargis as "a triumph of narrative imagination and bottom-line ingenuity," the film landed on several top best lists of the year.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467133240274-OUX9DF76QHY8SDM3IGHJ/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 Thursday, February 27, 9pm EL OTRO DÍA / THE OTHER DAY (Ignacio Agüero, Chile, 120 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Special Jury Mention – Best Director, Documentary The home of acclaimed Chilean filmmaker Ignacio Agüero is filled with objects that speak to both his family's history and to the tumultuous history of his country. Seeking to make a quiet, personal film centered on his home and his memories, it is fitting that The Other Day begins when a ray of sunlight shines on a photograph of his parents. Agüero turns the tables on his uninvited guests, and asks them if he may knock on their doors too. His spontaneous excursions into their neighborhoods and homes broaden the film's scope, bringing different aspects of contemporary Chilean society into the picture. Interweaving these threads, collapsing past and present, interior and exterior, the film is an elegant reflection on layers of history, and ways they are reflected in families and communities. The film was awarded with the Best Documentary prize at the Guadalajara Film Festival and Best Chilean Film at FIDOCS.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467133413985-1TP99BL41F77122U1A3A/HBOlogo.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467133422790-BB1NTBFIAR7ERZO31LY9/HotelAmericanohi.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467133570294-U8K0QVER9JNIG6BKA1QM/spacer.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467133459088-SDH38NKFGUO3PNLX6O8G/DCA.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467133467738-I74ENXB7BZR7I8WSV91A/Voces.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467133623994-Y7YIEYEZ09QTJUP3TJAT/cabecero01.gif Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467133633195-AOURM3V9T1AYLRZFABEE/Button-300px.png Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467133656051-I801QDIMAVEREKJ60TT6/Cinelatino.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467133671657-PJSWVHAYE0VAVVO4AYSK/spacer.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467133658835-DYT0ARRH8D7K2RV62ECE/LogoULP.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2014 https://www.cinematropical.com/cinema-tropical-festival-2013 daily 0.75 2016-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1466795838245-78IKFXO6VLOA5L6IXD93/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467137257596-KF6RW5A1GQ7AMKRMV3SP/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2013 Friday, February 15, 2013, 7pm THE LAST CHRISTEROS | LOS ÚLTIMOS CRISTEROS A film by Matías Meyer (Mexico/Netherlands, 2011, 90 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Winner – Best Director, Feature Film "The final days of a band of 1930s Christian rebels in the central Mexican wilderness are depicted with majestic stoicism in Matias Meyer's elegant ode to independence" - Robert Koehler, Variety. “In 1926, the Mexican government began the strict enforcement of the anti-clerical laws dictated in the 1917 Mexican Constitution, and it introduced an array of new measures against demonstrations of faith. This religious persecution, aimed mostly at Roman Catholics, sparked the Cristero War, a conflict waged mostly by peasants against the well-trained Mexican army. Although the Cristero War officially took place between 1926 and 1929, groups of men continued fighting for their right to worship freely for several years afterward. Matias Meyer's third feature film, The Last Christeros, retells the story of these tenacious men, resolved to openly uphold their beliefs, even in the face of certain death.” – Toronto International Film Festival   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467137429567-68N9430S2CHP5L6VWFGE/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2013 Friday, February 15, 2013, 9pm THE STUDENT | EL ESTUDIANTE A film by Santiago Mitre (Argentina, 2011, 110 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Winner – Best First Film "An intelligent, engrossing portrayal of politics as a game, an addiction, and a vicious cycle (...) a truly universal political thriller." - Dennis Lim, Artforum “Politics is a game, a seduction, and a vicious cycle in Santiago Mitre’s gripping, fine-tuned debut, the story of Roque (Esteban Lamothe), a university student who falls for a radicalized teacher and organizer (Romina Paula) and soon finds himself entangled with Buenos Aires campus activists, in a world as heated and byzantine as the one inhabited by the student revolutionaries of the mythic 1960s. Anchored by Lamothe’s nuanced, charismatic performance, The Student complicates the classic bildungsroman narrative of education and disillusionment, emphasizing the endless adaptability—or malleability—of its protagonist. An urgent attempt to grapple with the legacy of Peronism in present-day Argentina, the film abounds with telling details and rich local color. But it’s also a truly universal political thriller, one that illuminates the conspiratorial pleasure, the ruthless hustle, and the moral fog of politics as it is practiced.” – New York Film Festival   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467137542334-3ULJZH61XMHZRBTXDLDB/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2013 Saturday, February 9, 2013, 6pm THE LIFEGUARD | EL SALVAVIDAS A film by Maite Alberdi (Chile, 2011, 67 min.

Driven by fierce dedication to safety rules and regulations, Mauricio frustrates beachgoers and his seemingly lackadaisical colleagues as much as they frustrate him. Bathers are scolded, complaints are filed, accusations are made—all contributing to a simmering feud with Jean-Pierre, Mauricio’s chief rival and detractor. First-time filmmaker Maite Alberdi brings it all to life with a vibrant palette, tactile depth of field, and a surprisingly suspenseful day at the beach.” – Full Frame Documentary Film Festival   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467137684194-JIBUV17VPSVGH6UVI3UP/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2013 Saturday, February 9, 2013, 7:30pm NEIGHBORING SOUNDS | O SOM AO REDOR A film by Kleber Mendonça Filho (Brazil, 2012. In Portuguese with English subtitles) Winner - Best Fiction Film A palpable sense of unease hangs over a single city block in the coastal town of Recife, Brazil. Home to prosperous families and the servants who work for them, the area is ruled by an aging patriarch and his sons. When a private security firm is reluctantly brought in to protect the residents from a recent spate of petty crime, it unleashes the fears, anxieties and resentments of a divided society still haunted by its troubled past. Kleber Mendonça Filho's Neighboring Sounds is a thrilling debut by a major new voice in world cinema.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467137841689-63FB6JYHCBYNNQPLLWWW/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467137880755-X3DXF0H6EY4GDO12V9JS/url.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467137928059-CPJODC3SEA5PQDWAJ2ZB/DCA+%281%29.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467137944034-8IHXE2BLAP8THQ8H29ZV/spacer.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467137882884-YTDRKA4K7GOPJ39H1HMI/UnitedLatinoLogo.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2013 https://www.cinematropical.com/cinema-tropical-festival-2012 daily 0.75 2016-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1466796162223-TPOA9FE5MYGLBXNJR1QA/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2012 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467138978707-GFA22TF2VOAFMIXCOW81/image-asset.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2012 Saturday, January 21, 2012, 6:30pm OCTUBRE Winner – Best Feature Film (Daniel and Diego Vega, Peru, 2010, 83 min.)

With the arrival of these beings in his life, Clemente has the opportunity to reconsider his emotional relations with people.

Michael Rowe's debut feature film, winner of the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival tells the story of Laura, a young journalist living an isolated life in a cramped Mexico City flat, who is not lucky in love. The banality of her daily life stands in stark contrast to her nightly pursuit of sex and love. These short-lived affairs barely take the edge off her isolation, but then she meets the brooding, would-be actor Arturo. Their chemistry ignites feelings in Laura that leave her deeply troubled. The two embark on an increasingly dangerous sadomasochistic relationship in which pleasure, pain and love merge. Their physical relationship seems headed for a very dark place as her secret past resurfaces, pushing Arturo to the limit in this intense, powerful and at times deeply unsettling movie.

(Patricio Guzmán, 2010, France/Germany/Chile, 90 min.) Winner of numerous international prizes and included in many best-of-the-year lists (including The Village Voice, indieWIRE, Reverse Shot, Houston Chronicle, Slant Magazine), Patricio Guzmán's latest film is a meditation on memory, history and eternity. Chile's remote Atacama Desert, 10,000 feet above sea level, provides stunningly clear views of the heavens. But it also holds secrets from the past—preserved corpses, from pre-Columbian mummies to recent explorers, miners and disappeared political prisoners. In this otherworldly place, earthly and celestial quests meld: archaeologists dig for ancient civilizations, women search for their dead and astronomers scan the skies for new galaxies.

Hailed as "one of the most impressive debuts by a Mexican filmmaker" by Robert Koehler (Variety), Huezo's remarkable film tells the story of Cinquera, a tiny place nestled in the mountains amidst the humid jungle that was ravaged by the bloody civil war that swept El Salvador between 1980 and 1992. The powerful and hypnotic documentary depicts a community that has learned to live with its sorrow, an annihilated town that re-emerges through the strength and deep love of its inhabitants for the land and people. With a lyrical eye, Huezo interweaves the simplicity of the town's present life with tragic testimonies of the past. The Tiniest Place is ultimately a story of resilience, hope and the ability of the human being to reinvent himself after surviving a tragedy.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467140022857-X2AW5DLJEUNZQFT7NTMY/Cinelatino.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2012 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467140032087-DSLGIBPH7PNFA9SZJWWB/spacer.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2012 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467140004560-E5LD7LB7069DNH5VHZSG/LogoDishLatino.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2012 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467140010496-FZW83URTN7TUV0WNGCUI/lift-logo_80x80.png Cinema Tropical Festival 2012 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467140046688-LCJR06854459BWN299FW/mciny.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2012 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467140079839-HILPSWDJRR5MYDDIXEQ4/Voces.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2012 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467140110500-6T59LTN5HRAJVCGFI80N/FestivalScope.jpeg Cinema Tropical Festival 2012 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467140113408-AP548QULP9O1ZPU838AG/logo92YTribeca.JPG Cinema Tropical Festival 2012 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467140121644-IHBS0NL9DKA713U7OK4R/ToxicoLogo.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2012 https://www.cinematropical.com/tropical-tuesdays daily 0.75 2020-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1602380275259-PZKFMCFJD97YEN4RHPJF/kailua_kona.jpeg Tropical Tuesdays https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467833492433-ED1YAULHNMEOORL0UCL3/image-asset.jpeg Tropical Tuesdays ENTRE NOS A film by Paola Mendoza and Gloria La Morte (USA, 2010, 81 min. In English and Spanish with English subtitles) "Shortly after she totes her two children from Colombia to reunite with her husband in Queens, New York, Mariana's (Paola Mendoza) life is devastatingly turned around when he abandons her to fend for herself in a hard-knock new country. Mariana desperately searches for work against the unwieldy city landscape, but she and her kids can't help their treacherous slide into homelessness. Basing Entre Nos on true events, Paola Mendoza and Gloria La Morte collaboratively deliver a touching narrative marked by sympathetic characters, reflective cinematography, and solid performances. They bring a certain newness to the now-familiar immigrant story, and what shines through most is the graceful ferocity with which mother and children fight for their right to create a foundation, however shaky, from which to begin the promise of the American Dream." - Tribeca Film Festival Special screening of the film as part of the launching the novel The Ones Who Don’t Stay by Paola Mendoza, published by Penguin Books.

Screening followed by discussion with special guests actress Naian González Norvind (Eva's granddaughter) and Mexican writer/film critic Naief Yehya. A fascinating look into the incredible life of sexual revolutionary Eva Norvind, alias Mistress Ava Taurel, born Eva Johanne Chegodaieva Skonskaya, the daughter of a Russian prince and a Finnish sculptress in Trondheim, Norway. The film recounts the phases in her adventurous life-story: from the early success as a showgirl in Paris and Québec, as a Nordic Marilyn Monroe in the Mexican B-movies of the sixties, and finally, as the most famous dominatrix in New York during the Eighties. Eva Norvind studied Forensic Psychology to be able to help sexual offenders as well as a way of searching for the dark secret of her own sexuality. It is the story of an odyssey through the wilderness of sexuality that has not yet reached its destination.

Screening followed by discussion with special guest actress Naian González Norvind (Eva's granddaughter). "José Flores was born without arms and with stunted legs that render him only three feet tall, but his outsized personality makes his physical attributes the least interesting thing about this complex man. A Mexico City street musician, doting husband, and father of six (with a seventh on the way), Flores navigates the world with few concessions to his disability and with an unbridled appetite for life. As unconventional as he may seem, his history is even more unexpected; charismatic from an early age, he has been a respected occasional actor in Mexican art cinema, including appearances in Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain (1973) and the seminal Cabeza de Vaca (directed by Nicolás Echevarría, 1991). Flores is also, improbably, a bit of a ladies’ man. Directed by Norvind, and completed by her daughter after Norvind’s death, this intimate portrait doesn’t shy away from some of the more salacious details of Flores’ life." —Los Angeles Film Festival.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Introduction by film critic and writer Naief Yehya. Just in tune with the 2010 edition of the World Cup, the 'Verano Tropical' film series kicks off with Andrés Wood acclaimed soccer film. Some say in Latin America, football (soccer to the US) is the center of everything. Soccer Stories uses this incredibly favored sport to explore a diverse Chilean geography and culture and link three Chilean lives: a third-division player from Santiago de Chile is handed a life-changing offer; a boy living in the Calama Desert must face making a bold sacrifice; and a football fan stuck in a remote corner of the southern island of Chiloé is given an unexpected chance to experience another kind of passion.

A poetic homage to the city of Havana, this breathtaking film portrays Cuba's capital as no other art form has before. A loving and melancholic picture over a 24 hour period of life of this city, the film follows ten ordinary Habaneros as they go about their daily routine. There is no dialogue and no need for it either; music and natural sound accompany the multiplicity of images that weave a unique and intimate picture of a city full of contradictions and contrasts, a city of accomplished and frustrated dreams. Edited like a musical composition, Suite Habana oscillates between documentary and fiction. The ten characters range from ages 10 to 97, and represent the diversity of groups that form the city's social fabric. Each of them follows a narrative, and we follow their transformations as the workday ends and they prepare themselves to welcome the night, which brings about the daily renewal of this exceptional and fascinating city.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Colombian biographer, linguist, filmmaker, novelist, musician and biologist Fernando Vallejo came to global acclaim through filmmaker Barbet Schroeder's adaptation of his novel, "Our Lady of the Assassins." Vallejo's writing has been praised for its force and rigor, and critics have singled him out as one of the leading Latin American authors. Considered a provocateur by many for his politically incorrect and bold accusations, he is nonetheless an essential critic of the atrocities committed in his beloved country, from which he was forced to exile (he has lived in Mexico over 20 years). An intimate and extraordinary documentary about an eccentric iconoclast.

In Spanish with English subtitles) "Lovely! flawlessly directed by Carlos Sorin" — A.O. Scott, The New York Times In this warm-hearted and poignant road movie, a man and a dog embark on a delightful adventure across the stunningly beautiful Argentine Patagonia. Fifty-two-year-old Juan is laid off when the gas station where he has worked for the last 20 years is sold. Unemployed, middle-aged, unskilled, his luck turns in a most unexpected way. An elderly widow with little money gives Juan her late husband's dog, Lechien, as payment for repairing her car, but Lechien ends up being not just any dog; he is a pure breed Dogo Argentino, a potential dog show winner who may hold the key to Juan's future in his paw.

In Spanish and English with English subtitles) "In January 2003, 21-year-old Rosa Estela Olera Jiménez, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico working as a nanny in Austin, Texas, is brought to trial for the homicide of 21-month-old Bryan Gutierrez, a young boy who died under mysterious circumstances while in her care. The prosecution is relentless in its demonization of Jiménez, a soft-spoken mother of two who was working to one day buy her mother a house and build a better life for herself in the land of opportunity. With a sweeping, lyrical focus, the film encompasses the obstacles, prejudices and Sisyphean struggles faced by many Mexican migrant workers who leave their lives behind to pursue the American dream. A powerful and heart-wrenching documentary, My Life Inside alternates between tense courtroom drama and moving personal profile, providing a cautionary tale about the experience of outsiders in the United States." – Hot Docs Film Festival.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Q&A with filmmaker Natalia and Elena Levin, two sisters forced to separate as teenagers in 1975, right after Natalia's militant boyfriend Martin was disappeared by the military dictatorship, reunite in 1984 in a country foreign to both of them. Natalia, who has been living in exile in Spain, travels to visit Elena, who has just moved to suburban Texas with her husband and son. It's been nine years since they've seen each other and Natalia arrives eager to rebuild the ties of family love that she has missed so much. When she finds out that Elena has brought along the manuscript of their deceased father's last novel, Natalia reads it with anticipation that soon becomes trepidation – the unpublished novel unveils the story of their family during the dictatorship. Exploring the secrets and silences of a family and a society that lived under a decade of fear, complicity with the dictatorship and concealment, Solomonoff debuts with a compelling story in a film that shines with exceptional performances by Valeria Bertuccelli and Ingrid Rubio.

In Spanish with English subtitles) A declaration of love to Mexico and its cultural roots through the women who gave their voices and essence to Mexican music. This endearing documentary features the legendary Chavela Vargas, along with Lila Downs, Astrid Hadad, Eugenia Leon, La Negra Graciana, Iraida Noriega, and Chayito Valdéz, all of who share their intimacies, memories of their lives, their pain and feelings, and above all, their music.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Selected by over 80 Film Festivals worldwide and winning no less than a dozen prestigious awards, Josué Méndez´s extraordinary debut explores the tragic impossibility of a war veteran to re-integrate into civilian life. 23-year old Santiago (Pietro Sibille, in a "volcanic performance," Variety) returns home, weary from years of jungle fighting, searching for hope. But his native Lima has become a less than welcoming place. Unable to get a job or credit, or afford an education, misunderstood by his family, wife and friends whom he finds decadent and distant, Santiago's estrangement from an increasingly hostile and chaotic world deepens, as his anger and frustration rise. Through a powerful and original style of narration, Méndez vividly examines the effects of war upon those who carry it out.

In Spanish with English subtitles) With Freddy Flores, Rosa Sánchez, Óscar Bertea, Enrique Liporace. "Packs a wallop" —V.A. Musetto, New York Post A starkly realistic story of an illegal immigrant from Bolivia who lands a job with a greasy spoon on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, poignantly depicts the world of poverty, racism and casual violence that characterize his newfound reality. Bolivia is an urgent and timely drama of life in Argentina, a nation that at the time of the film's release was immersed in a massive crisis reaching unprecedented poverty levels, vast unemployment, bankruptcy, and a dramatically shrinking economy. The second feature by Adrián Caetano, which was awarded the Young Critic's Award at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, manages to be both powerful and understated.

In Spanish with English subtitles) With Rosario Bléfari, Valeria Bertucelli, Gabriel Fernández Capello, Mirtha Busnelli. "Rejtman reveals a mastery of his minimalist style." —Los Angeles Times A minimalist deadpan comedy involving drifting characters and objects, the film focuses on Silvia Prieto, a rather unexceptional young woman who on her 27th birthday resolves to make some changes in her life – changes that bring out a few eccentricities. When she discovers that there are other women with her name, she develops a bizarre obsession with the "other" Silvia Prieto, an obsession that has to do with unraveling the riddle of her own identity. Written and directed by Martín Rejtman, credited as the precursor of the New Argentine Cinema, Silvia Prieto was hailed by Los Angeles Times as a "refreshingly venturesome film," and is a witty meditation on what it means, or doesn't mean, to be yourself.

In Spanish with English subtitles) With Luis Margani, Adriana Aizemberg, Daniel Valenzuela "Remarkable for the tenderness and tenacity it shares with its memorable protagonist." — Amy Taubin, Village Voice A new variant on Neo-realism, Pablo Trapero's multiple award-winning feature debut paints a portrait of working class life that is simultaneously gritty and poetic. The film follows the changing fortunes in the life of Rulo, an unemployed suburban man, who tries to earn a living as a crane operator. Rulo is a likeable, pot-bellied 50 year-old who had a brief taste of success as a young rock musician. Now, with both an elderly mother and a musician son to support, Rulo plunges into a hazardous and arduous work of heavy metal construction. Directed with an unusual combination of aesthetic freshness and emotional soundness Trapero's first film became a key work in the current resurgence of Argentine cinema.

In Spanish with English subtitles) With Mercedes Morán, Graciela Borges, Martín Adjemián. "Superb filmmaking." — J. Hoberman, Village Voice February in Argentina's Northeast can be uncomfortably hot and humid. Bodies become sluggish and sticky... and tensions rise. Mecha is in her 50's and must deal with four accident-prone teenagers, a husband who dyes his hair and the tedious problem of sullen servants. Nothing that a few drinks can't cure. Tali is Mecha's cousin. She has four noisy small children and a husband who loves his house, loves his kids, and loves to hunt. Mecha and her family spend their summers at a country estate whose glory has long faded, and where the two families, reunited by an accident, will attempt to survive a summer from hell. With uncompromising talent, Martel's astonishing feature debut —which preceded the celebrated films The Holy Girl and The Headless Woman— brilliantly depicts the decadence of the Argentine middle-class through this family's story.

One night Jara discovers Julia, a 25-year-old cleaning woman, through one of the cameras and is immediately attracted to her. Night after night, he watches her on the cameras while she works. Soon he starts following her after work: to the cinema, the beach and even to a date with another man. Jara's life becomes a series of routines and rituals around Julia, but eventually he finds himself at a crossroad and must decide whether to give up his obsession or confront it.

Q&A with producer Fernando Epstein "Wins you over with its good nature ands its charm."— IndieWire A surprise hit at the 2001 Rotterdam Film Festival, 25 Watts marked the auspicious debut for the Uruguayan duo Pablo Stoll and the late Juan Pablo Rebella that consolidated Uruguay's participation in the recent revitalization of Latin American cinema and launched a prolific and exciting period for young Uruguayan directors. A wry, fresh, and funny Montevideo slacker comedy, 25 Watts portrays the monotonous lives of Leche, Javi, and Seba who wander around the neighborhood with nothing to do but drink beer, smoke, talk about girls, and interact with picturesque characters from the barrio.

Screening introduced by producer Fernando Epstein "Humorous chronicle of a year of trouble and sexual misery, achieves an odd mixture of triviality in its apparent purpose, of stylistic elegance and radical pessimism." — Liberation Desperate and unfortunate, lazy and hesitant, David, a 25-year-old, has failed as a student and lost the scholarship that financially supported him in the capital city. Now he must pass an exam that will take place in a year if he wants this grant to continue.

THE POPE'S TOILET / EL BAÑO DEL PAPA (César Charlone, Enrique Fernández, Uruguay/France/Brazil, 2007, 97min.

Petty smuggler Beto thinks he has the best idea of all –he decides to build a WC in front of his house and charge for its use. His efforts bring about unexpected consequences, and the final results will surprise everyone. El baño del Papa is a touching, humorous and poignant story from director-scriptwriters Enrique Fernández and noted cinematographer César Charlone who was Oscar-nominated for City of God.

STRANDED: I'VE COME FROM A PLANE THAT CRASHED ON THE MOUNTAINS / VENGO DE UN AVIÓN QUE CAYÓ EN LAS MONTAÑAS (Gonzalo Arijón, France/Uruguay, 2008, 126 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) "Superb (...) a cinematic tour de force. One of the great tales of human survival (...) packs a knock-out punch." —Variety It is one of the most astonishing and inspiring survival tales of all time. On October 13, 1972, a young rugby team from Montevideo, Uruguay, boarded a plane for a match in Chile—and then vanished into thin air. Two days before Christmas, 16 of the 45 passengers miraculously resurfaced. They had managed to survive for 72 days after their plane crashed on a remote Andean glacier. Thirty-five years later, the survivors return to the crash site—known as the Valley of Tears—to recount their harrowing story of defiant endurance and indestructible friendship. Previously documented in the 1973 worldwide bestseller Alive (and the 1993 Ethan Hawke movie of the same name), Stranded is a visually breathtaking and crafted film that includes riveting detail by documentary filmmaker (and childhood friend of the survivors) Gonzalo Arijón with a masterful combination of on-location interviews, archival footage, and reenactments. Sunday, October 18, 4pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467393770951-50811DE7XE8QXOHC916O/Whisky.jpg ¡Go Uruguay! WHISKY (Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll, Uruguay/Argentina/Germany/Spain, 2004, 94min. In Spanish with English subtitles) With Andrés Pazos, Mirella Pascual, Jorge Bolani "Delicious. A slightly absurd comedy about intimacy and solitude. Funny and gently narrated, Whisky marveled the audience with the confidence of its melancholic humor." — Los Angeles Times Jacobo is the dull and gravely serious owner of a sock factory. Every day, he follows the same routine—he gets up, drives to the factory, and meets his manager Marta, a frumpy, quiet, middle-aged worker who is loyal to the factory and her boss. Their dull routine is broken by the impending arrival of Jacobo's younger brother, Herman, who lives in Brazil. Jacob then allows himself to ask Marta for help to cope with the situation. Hence, between absurdity and melancholy, as well as daily life and farce, the movie subtly portrays the clumsiness of these characters, so different from one another, while they try to hide their resentment and friction. Whisky—Rebella and Stoll's remarkable follow-up feature to 25 Watts which screens at BAM on Saturday—was awarded with numerous prizes including the International Critics' Award at Cannes Film Festival. Whisky is presented with the Global Film Initiative.

KILL THEM ALL / MATAR A TODOS (Esteban Schroeder, Uruguay/Argentina/Chile, 2007, 97min. In Spanish with English subtitles) With Roxanna Blanco, Claudio Arreondo, Jorge Bolani "Roxana Blanco gives a robust performance" — The New York Post When democracy starts to spread across a weakened Latin American dictatorship, a man flees through the forest of a Uruguayan seaside resort. He is from Chile and hides at a police station of the town. He desperately announces that he has been kidnapped, that someone wanted to kill him. The charges reach Judge Santacruz, who asks his assistant, lawyer Julia Gudari, to help with the investigation. She finds that the police have tried to erase all traces of the case and that the Embassy of Chile is no help either. Julia also discovers that this Chilean citizen is a biochemical engineer who worked secretly for Pinochet. As Matar a todos continues, a dark story begins to unravel which involves her directly—both her father, General Gudari, and her brother, Ivan, are part of the alliance and will do everything they can to keep Julia away from the truth.

Mexico, 1919, 120 min.) Mexican director Claudio Valdés Kuri takes a silent film classic - one filled with gangsters, police chases and sumptuous costumes - and gives it a thoroughly modern soundtrack through the talents of his actors and pianist. Following the Japanese benshi tradition of silent film narration, the actors artfully render the voices and emotions of each of the film's characters, offer witty repartee and, at times, sing and dance on stage, as well. A two-hour theatrical production that blurs the boundaries of what is Mexican or Japanese, what is film versus theater, and what it means to understand language and the filtering effects of time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1468281254715-5U2QAGZEJ9PX65W487S3/limite1.jpg David Bowie LIMITE (Mário Peixoto, Brazil, 1931, b&w, 115 min.) Cast: Taciana Rei, Olga Breno, Raul Schnoor, Brutus Pedreira, Carmen Santos, Mário Peixoto. Considered a legendary cult movie and voted as one of the best Brazilian films of all time, Limite is an avant-garde film that explores the visual possibilities of cinema. The film was made by Mário Peixoto when he was 21 years old and was the only film he ever directed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1468281056409-594SUAQHOQIWA3LYCK5Z/image-asset.jpeg David Bowie EL PRISIONERO 13 (Fernando de Fuentes, Mexico, 1933, b&w, 76 min.) Cast: Alfredo del Diestro, Adela Sequeyro, Luis G. Barreiro The first film in Fernando de Fuentes’ celebrated trilogy on the Mexican revolution (along with El Compadre Mendoza and Vámonos con Pancho Villa) is a poignant critique on corruption in which a Colonel is bribed to free young man from his execution by a firing squad. There are thirteen prisoners on death row, fate will decide the 13th prisoner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1468196160335-RAMH8PU9XS63G0HJ652A/image-asset.png David Bowie DOS MONJES (Juan Bustillo Oro, Mexico, 1934, b&w, 85 min.) Cast: Magda Haller, Víctor Urruchua, Carlos Villatoto, Emma Roldán, Manuel Noriega. “Narrating a love triangle involving two monks, Fray Servando and Fray Javier, the film weaves together a story from the conflicting points of views of the two rivals. As Fray Javier gradually goes mad, those parts of the film told from his perspective take on the trappings of German Expressionism, including exaggerated make-up, skewed angles, deep shadows and a crooked, distorted sense of space. Masterfully photographed by Agustín Jiménez, the film was a belated effort to incorporate the styles of a European vanguard into Mexican commercial film.” —Jesse Lerner, Mexperimental Cinema. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1468196092400-A1Y3MRAOIIYS8KO7BIKB/image-asset.jpeg David Bowie AVENTURERA (Alberto Gout, Mexico, 1949, b&w, 111 min.) Cast: Ninón Sevilla, Tito Junco, Andrea Palma, Rubén Rojo, Miguel Inclán. One of the most popular Mexican films ever made and a cult sensation during its recent U.S. theatrical revival, Aventurera is the most famous example of the curious hybrid of film noir and musical films known as cabareteras that were wildly popular in Mexico in the 40's and 50's. Starring the immortal Ninón Sevilla, who Variety called "a cross between Rita Hayworth and Carmen Miranda," it follows the melodramatic rise and fall of a popular nightclub star with a dark past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1468280747254-RSF109QIEUQHHRHGTCV6/image-asset.jpeg David Bowie ROBINSON CRUSOE (Luis Buñuel, Mexico, 1954, color, 90 min.) Cast: Dan O’Herlihy, Jaime Fernández, Felipe de Alba, Chel López. One of his less frequently screened films, Buñuel’s Robinson Crusoe is a fascinating adaptation of Daniel Defoe’s classic that offers a very personal reinterpretation of the Crusoe metaphor questioning man's relationship with God and morality. Dan’Oherlihy was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Actor for his performance in the title role. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1468193756077-0HE0D1XPHLGS97I9VJ4C/image-asset.jpeg David Bowie MEMORIAS DEL SUBDESARROLLO / MEMORIES OF UNDERVELOPMENT (Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, Cuba, 1968, b&w, 110 min.) Cast: Sergio Corrieri, Daisy Granados, Eslinda Núñez, Omar Valdés. As the first film from post-revolutionary Cuba to be released in the U.S., this had a widespread impact unequaled in the history of Latin American cinema. Set in the early 1960s, the film centers on a Europeanized Cuban intellectual, too idealistic to leave for Miami, but too decadent to fit into the new society. A critique of revolutionary society, and a remarkable demonstration that artistic subtlety, political commitment and entertainment are not incompatible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1468193318944-J3P2S9L07KHUSGNI9UBM/image-asset.jpeg David Bowie EL ESPÍRITU DE LA COLMENA / THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE (Víctor Erice, Spain, 1973, 99 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Cast: Fernando Fernán Gómez, Teresa Gimpera, Ana Torrent, Isabel Tellera. Víctor Erice’s spellbinding El Espíritu de la Colmena, widely regarded as the greatest Spanish film of the 1970s is set in a small Castilian village in 1940, in the wake of the country's devastating civil war. A six-year-old Ana attends a traveling movie show of Frankenstein and becomes possessed by the memory of it. Produced as Franco’s long regime was nearing its end, El Espíritu de la Colmena is a bewitching portrait of a child’s haunted inner life and one of the most visually arresting movies ever made. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1468281284981-HSWIMXYIEFEWC2KAI7BV/image-asset.png David Bowie ORIANA (Fina Torres, Venezuela/France, 1985, color, 88 min.) Cast: Doris Wells, Daniela Silverio, Rafael Briceño, Mirtha Borges A taut, gothic, Latin American romance, winner of the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Marie returns to a rundown Venezuelan house in the jungle where she spent summers as a child. Her return ignites memories of a summer when her adolescent sexual curiosity led to a surprising encounter. "An exotic Jane Eyre set in a jungle-choked hacienda" —Seattle Weekly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1468194608020-CH63VU1DDXRMAJUHNJ5I/image-asset.jpeg David Bowie LOS AMANTES DEL CÍRCULO POLAR / LOVERS FROM THE ARTIC CIRCLE (Julio Medem, Spain/France, 1998, 152 min.) Cast: Najwa Nimri, Fele Martínez, Nacho Novo, Maru Valvidieso, Sara Valiente. Julio Medem, one of Spain’s most famous contemporary filmmakers (perhaps best known for his film Sex and Lucia) offers us this passionate love story told by each one of the sides. The story begins in 1980, Ana and Otto’s lives will become part of the same circle that will close 17 years later in Finland, right in the limits of the Artic Circle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1468171061156-7CTQG74XFXAJFLKLS04Z/image-asset.jpeg David Bowie MACHUCA (Andrés Wood, Chile/Spain/UK/France, 2004, 115 min.) Cast: Ariel Mateluna, Matías Quer, Manuela Martelli, Ernesto Malbran Set in Chile, 1973, Machuca is an astonishingly intimate and painful coming-of-age story about a pair of 12-year-old boys from opposite extremes of society who form an unlikely friendship during the last days of President Allende and General Augusto Pinochet's military coup. https://www.cinematropical.com/deskspace daily 0.75

/ EL CIELO DEL CENTAURO A film by Hugo Santiago (Argentina/France, 2015, 93 min. In Spanish and French with English subtitles) The ship moors at dawn in Buenos Aires, from where it will sail again the next day. The Engineer goes down to the city to honor his father’s request: deliver a small package to one of his friends, Victor Zagros. When the package is taken away from him the Engineer embarks on a wild and dizzying quest, within a city, a sort of “wonder box” that little by little seems out of this world. The last film by the great Hugo Santiago (Invasión, Les Autres), The Sky of the Centaur was written in collaboration with Mariano Llinás (La Flor), edited by Alejo Moguillansky, and features performances by Malik Zidi and Romina Paula. “Geometry is of great importance in my cinema. And this film is built as a geometric theorem. The engineer works himself very well with the maps, marks the route that allows him to quickly visualize each site of the city. And with them he discovers every stage of that succession of events that is the path of the film itself.” –Hugo Santiago Monday, March 9, 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/5db16579-4bdc-45c1-9923-10996fd9859c/Lapu.jpg If You Can Screen It There LAPÜ (César Alejandro Jaimes and Juan Pablo Polanco, Colombia, 2019, 75 min. In Wayuunaiki and Spanish with English subtitles) Winner, Best Latin American Documentary, Cinema Tropical Awards Official Selection, Sundance Film Festival Official Selection, Berlin Film Festival “When Doris’s dead cousin appears to her in a dream, the vision prompts her to embark upon the most important ritual of the Wayuu, an indigenous group living in Colombia’s Guajira Desert. To ensure that her cousin may rest in peace, Doris must exhume the bones of the deceased and clean them before burying them a second time. With the support of her mother and grandmother, she sets out on a richly sensorial journey that brings her into close contact with the dead and their world. Together with their protagonist, César Alejandro Jaimes and Juan Pablo Polanco have crafted a debut film full of haunting images and sounds, with a diaphanous aesthetic that gives form to the unseen. The camera glides smoothly and naturally between different worlds and forms of existence, between day and night, moving back and forth from blazing light to all-enveloping darkness. The filmmakers’ gentle gaze combines intimacy and distance at the same time. More than the ritual, they are interested in the faces of its participants, across which flicker suspicion, curiosity, and fascination.” —Hanna Keller, Berlinale Forum Thursday, February 6, 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/6e61c293-a5c6-4898-b6ac-ee2a3cffb305/image-w1280.jpg If You Can Screen It There CHÃO / LANDLESS (Camila Freitas, Brazil, 2019, 110 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) “Over a period of four years, Camila Freitas documented the lives of a group of landless workers in the Brazilian state of Goiás. Since 2015, the workers have occupied a portion of a factory site and demanded land reform. CHÃO provides insights into the group’s everyday routine, which is divided between tilling the land, political activism, and talk of what a better future might look like. The film thus delves into the microstructures of local political action while also demonstrating just how dependent the Landless Workers Movement is on Brazilian politics, global capital, and the agricultural industry. Occupying a space between frank realism and potent atmospherics that draw their power from poetic digressions, such as deliberately exaggerated moments on the soundtrack, impressionistic close-ups, and cinematographic micro-narrations, CHÃO documents life in the resistance, where hope can sometimes seem like the only thing capable of countering the realities of the world. It was only recently that Jair Bolsonaro, the new president of Brazil, added the landless to the list of enemies of the nation and called on landowners to take up arms to defend their property.” —Alejandro Bachmann, Berlinale Forum Tuesday, January 14, 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/4b94750b-8b91-416e-85fb-c3a8fd18eff5/ParaguayWar1.jpg If You Can Screen It There PARAGUAY WAR / GUERRA DO PARAGUAI (Luiz Rosemberg Filho, Brazil, 2016, 80 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere! The last feature film by the late Brazilian cinema Luiz Rosemberg Filho, a key figure of the Cinema Marginal movement whose work has been little seen in the U.S., is a lyrical allegory about a bloody war, in which past and present, and barbarism and art collide. The film follows a soldier coming home after the Paraguay War—the infamous conflict fought between 1864-1870 between the South American nation against the triple alliance of Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, that marked one of the bloodiest episodes in South American history—who runs into a contemporary theater troupe. Shot in black and white, Rosemberg Filho’s is an astonishing tour de force on the persistence of life past destructive masculinity.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) The documentary debut feature by acclaimed Brazilian filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho (Neighboring Sounds, Bacurau), explores the troubled relationship between filmmakers and critics through a personal series of interviews recorded over a period of eight years between 1998 and 2007. Featuring 70 filmmakers and critics, including major international figures such as David Lynch, Fernando Meirelles, Eduardo Coutinho, and Aki Kaurismaki, Crítico opens a much-needed window to an art which is increasingly judged by industry standards and which struggles to remain human in the way it is realized and observed.

When he sees on Facebook that she’s in a bar nearby, he goes out in search of her. But along the way, his brother asks him for help with his girlfriend, he runs into an old friend, plays a football match almost against his will, receives an old film reel that contains a hidden movie, and has to rescue a friend from a bad date. ”A critic friend of mine says that movies no longer dialogue with history, but are the filmmaker’s subconscious, filmed for the world to see. He means it pejoratively, but it seems to me that it is a good way to define my film. The political and the historical are in the air: it is impossible not to be contemporary.” —Lautaro García Candela Monday, October 14, 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/46791615-f776-49ba-9616-a7879e165512/201812522_3_IMG_FIX_700x700.jpg If You Can Screen It There THE ENDLESS DAY / EL DÍA QUE RESISTÍA (Alessia Chiesa, Argentina, 2018, 98 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Alone in an isolated house in the countryside, Fan, Tino, and Claa (9, 7, and 5) wait for their parents to come back. Among games and tales, the waiting becomes unusually long while the solitude grows unsettling. In the midst of a strange and confusing atmosphere, the children’s apparently innocent and playful world begins to reveal its darker side. “The Endless Day represents the unimaginable dark side of the world of childhood through a tone of strangeness. It looks in a slightly different way at situations that would normally be perceived as banal or go unnoticed, making them feel odd and out of place and thus opening the door to many questions. This film constructs storytelling through feelings, atmosphere, and questions rather than pretending to provide answers that would directly and simply satisfy the spectator but also withdraw from them the possibility of a personal opening and discovery.” –Alessia Chiesa Thursday, September 5, 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/28b975fc-22a1-4be2-afde-2b4852af8893/DiscipleofSpeed2.jpg If You Can Screen It There THE DISCIPLE OF SPEED / LA DISCÍPULA DEL VELOCÍMETRO (Miguel Calderón, Mexico, 2008, 66 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere! / Filmmaker in person Co-presented by the Mexican Cultural Institute of New York “In this biographical documentary about the 50-year-old Mexican multimillionaire Emma, visual artist Miguel Calderón shows how reality can far surpass fiction in improbability. Basically his film is made up of the video research for a full-length film. The way Emma garnered her fortune remains unclear and unimportant. However, the way in which that money makes it possible for her to go to the limit in her extreme hobbies and activities becomes overwhelmingly clear. The eccentric millionaire, mother of a strange adolescent son, has a black belt in karate, is a stuntwoman and artiste, and claims to have paranormal gifts. Calderón follows her during races, film recordings, paragnostic performances, and dinners with friends, but is – rightly – just as interested in the thoughts of the 25 bodyguards and in her son’s gun collection. The woman is entirely convinced of herself and has no trouble linking together different worlds. But Calderón, who wields the camera, increasingly becomes the frustrated protagonist in his own failed project.” –International Rotterdam Film Festival Thursday, August 1, 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1562097604558-2GO5K0FP8MK3734S35PS/LaMuertedelMaestro1.jpg If You Can Screen It There THE DEATH OF THE MASTER / LA MUERTE DEL MAESTRO (José María Avilés, Ecuador/Argentina, 2018, 62 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere! Co-presented by Kinoscope and the Ecuadorian Film Festival New York “On April 16, 2016, a severe earthquake hit coastal Ecuador. José María Avilés’s first feature film is based on this national disaster, but at a great distance from the collapsed buildings and buried loved ones. He shows how an unexpected event can suddenly modify all the rules of the game, even in the remote town of Angamarca – the setting of the film – where the effects of the quake arrive as distant echoes of hostility in the natural environment. An elderly farmer has become one with the land, the lemon trees, and the livestock. But something has changed; nature is disturbed. Water doesn’t run off well, a calf dies for no reason, and the wind keeps picking up. Acting calmly, yet with rising desperation, the ‘maestro’ adheres to his daily routine, trying to get things back on track. It will kill him, that’s certain.” –International Film Festival Rotterdam Thursday, July 11, 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1561135299425-2E6U6QGZXUG1QBH4HLGG/Unknown.jpg If You Can Screen It There THE OMISSION / LA OMISIÓN (Sebastián Schjaer, Argentina, 2018, 86 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) U.S. premiere! “In a snowy and industrial city in the south of Argentina, Paula, a 23-year-old girl from Buenos Aires, starts an intense job hunt with the sole purpose of saving money. The lack of a job, a home and a stable emotional environment will end up turning that search into a personal and introspective journey. She will have to deal with the hard living conditions in the south as well as with the unsolved aspects of her life, which will gradually be revealed. She knows she is shouting, but she can’t hear herself. Resembling a combination of Carey Mulligan, Sandra Huller, and Michelle Williams, Brito—next to be seen prominently in a feature-length documentary by American avant-garde legend James Benning—keeps Paula flintily sympathetic throughout. She etches a subtle and believable portrait of an astute person experienced far beyond her tender years, and considerably tougher than her gamine looks suggest.” —Neil Young, Hollywood Reporter Thursday, June 27, 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1552868678279-16NZJ8I8N1GQPXM8DR0X/ExtranoPeroVerdadero1.jpg If You Can Screen It There STRANGE BUT TRUE / EXTRAÑO PERO VERDADERO (Michel Lipkes, Mexico, 2017, 93 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) New York premiere! Filmmaker in person Co-presented by Proyector “Jonathan and Yesi are in love, but fearfully keep this from Mister Clean, their dodgy boss on the bin wagons. In Mexico City, there is no end to the refuse. Cardboard and plastic are separated on the spot, and half-empty bottles of drink finished off in one go; for tips, they will collect the refuse from your kitchen. Everything changes when a body turns up among the containers, its pockets stuffed with cash. Mister Clean comes up with a plan that will benefit them all. In today’s Mexico, it’s simply impossible not to get tangled up in the wretchedness of the violent underworld. This second feature by Michel Lipkes shows an inescapable downward spiral – though not without a glimmer of hope—in luscious black-and-white. Film buff Lipkes nods to masters through clever references and symbolism, making Strange but True both an homage and movie-spotter’s delight on several levels. Hope, love, and belief in the power of cinema.” —Rotterdam International Film Festival.

He arms himself and sets out for revenge, in search of the rival who’s now disappeared without a trace. But the journey proves difficult, taking Victor through Sinaloa, the stretch of land on Mexico’s Pacific coast that a ruthless criminal cartel has transformed into bloody terrain. Violence and death are part of everyday life here. Victor’s journey is hemmed in by an eccentric cast of characters, each of whom reveals a new clue on where The Selfie might be found – until the two rivals finally meet in a brilliant and unexpected finale. “With The Weak Ones, directors Raúl Rico and Eduardo Giralt Brun deliver a contemporary spin on a classic tale of crime and punishment, a virtuoso accomplishment that achieves the seemingly impossible: a revenge film in which the need for vengeance ultimately fades into the background. With calm and composed camera work and marvelously droll humor, they have created a road movie extraordinarily rich in atmosphere, featuring striking locales in a fascinating landscape that manages to be two things at once: heaven and hell.” —Berlinale Forum Thursday, April 11, 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1547996073832-0Z0ELHMNY3KVG6WZ4EFJ/NoelienlosPaises.jpg If You Can Screen It There NOELÍ OVERSEAS (Noelí en los países, Laura Amelia Guzmán and Israel Cárdenas, Dominican Republic, 2017, 54 min. In Spanish, English, and French with English subtitles) Yanet Mojica, a young actress, made her cinematic debut alongside Geraldine Chaplin in Laura Amelia Guzmán and Israel Cárdenas’s 2014 film, Sand Dollars. In their more recent documentary/fiction hybrid, Noelí Overseas, Mojica takes center stage. “Hired to star in a fashion infomercial to be shot in Venice in the majestic Hotel Excelsior, Yanet sets foot in Europe for the first time. Once the prudishness of the crew members has been overcome, she joyously drags them along into a Caribbean universe made up of rhythm and dance. Although the filmmakers still dream of exile, the empowerment of a young woman is what ultimately manifests itself here. Yanet lives on the screen through her strength and her grace. She tackles every moment with lightheartedness. The image and its relationship with the sound design lends an almost phantasmagorical feel to certain sequences while depicting these elements through a discerning distance.” —Visions du Réel Thursday, March 14, 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1552868746395-FQAV6DTRFKCI0KR0GZA5/edited.jpg If You Can Screen It There THE ENDLESS FILM / LA PELÍCULA INFINITA (Leandro Listorti, Argentina, 2018, 54 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) New York Premiere! The Endless Film stands as a contemporary cinematic Frankenstein. Made from different fragments of unfinished, abandoned, or unrealized Argentine films, this film-essay tells the story of a parallel history of cinema. An endless film is a film that has no end, a film that has not reached its destiny. From this limbo, Listorti gathers these orphan images and silenced sounds and finds a new opportunity to screen their stories. Not only a filmmaker, Listorti nurtures his talented film practice with his experience as an archivist in the film museum Pablo Hickens Ducros in Buenos Aires. The Endless Film is composed of the remains of such films as El eternauta by Hugo Gil (1968); La neutrónica explotó en Burzaco by Alejandro Agresti (1984); Zama by Nicolás Sarquís (1984); Sistema español by Martín Rejtman (1988); and El ocio by Mariano Llinás and Agustín Mendilaharzu (1999); among others. With the voices of musician and actress Rosario Bléfari and filmmaker and writer Edgardo Cozarinsky, The Endless Film proposes itself as a negative journey through creation, memory, and loneliness. “In a country where the remains are of fundamental importance in understanding the past, The Endless Film offers a window to forgotten memories, and invites the viewer to evaluate its own culture and identity.” –Rotterdam Film Festival Thursday, February 7, 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1547996277310-V3FDXCFX9JF1EMWRXU87/LasOlas1.jpg If You Can Screen It There THE WAVES / LAS OLAS (Adrián Biniez, Uruguay/Argentina, In Spanish with English subtitles, 2017, 88 min.

Q&A with producer Fernando Epstein The third feature film by Argentine-born, Uruguay-based filmmaker Adrián Biniez (Gigante, El Cinco) is a playful, imaginative, and existentialist time-traveling tale about a man’s misadventures. Exhausted after leaving work, Alfonso, a man in his late thirties, goes to the beach and dives into the sea. Coming to the surface, he finds himself on another beach, in another time. His parents are waiting for him, calling to him from the water’s edge. Alfonso sees and understands everything as an adult, even if they treat him like an 11 year old. So begins a fantastic, achronological voyage through the various holidays of his life, as he comes face to face with past girlfriends, teenage and childhood pals, his daughter, and his own loneliness.

In Spanish, English, Arabic, and Basque with English subtitles) New York Premiere After the attack on Charlie Hebdo, Iván, a young film producer and self-proclaimed “frivolous” son of a prominent Argentine journalist, sets off on a journey to sites of contemporary geopolitical conflict. It is no easy undertaking. Determining where the frontline ends and this wannabe war correspondent’s ego trip begins proves even more difficult. It’s seemingly a miracle that this film even exists. As the director and protagonist Iván Granovsky relates with a sense of self-mockery, his three previous attempts to make a film turned into fiascos, so he decided to follow in the footsteps of his father. But from the refugee crisis in Greece to the less-democratic Brazil, from the Basque Country to Jerusalem, Granovsky is always too late, too early, in the wrong place, or asking clumsy questions. The Territories is a coming-of-age fiction nestled inside a geopolitical documentary.

The country’s last cuatrero or rustler, Velázquez was accused of stealing cattle and shot dead by police in 1967. Constructing the narrative through archival footage, home videos, ads, movies, and interviews, and framing it with the search for a lost film based on her father’s book, Carri’s visually vibrant documentary—a favorite at the Berlin and Mar del Plata film festivals—tells a story full of legends, families, politics, and cinema.

Curiously, she observes the confident, cheerful girl who lives alone with her mother. She is fascinated by this other world beyond the bounds of her own well-to-do and traditional family. This other Irene seems free. Soon the two girls, apparently so different from each other, are spending every day together, meeting up with boys in the cinema or going to the lake. When they start talking about their fathers, they notice that they have more in common than they had thought. Winner of the Best First Feature and Best Cinematography awards at the Guadalajara Film Festival, this debut feature by Fabio Meira is an exquisite mosaic that weaves a wonderfully delicate web around questions of identity, true friendship, and the first steps towards adulthood.

In William, the New Judo Master, directors Ricardo Silva and Omar Guzmán show how a Mexican nurse washes his naked old body. ‘How did we get here?’ a voiceover muses. ‘What road led us here? When did we take it?’ This fascinating film essay is about the struggle against time, old age, and transitoriness. Silva’s debut film, Navajazo (2014), was already a hybrid form of documentary and fiction, but here (with Guzmán) he goes further, producing a surrealist collage. For example, going on a trip to the oldest tree in the world. Or having a middle-aged actor play Clauson, while he is visited by three male prostitutes. Meanwhile, the devil looks on, eyes glowing red.” –International Film Festival Rotterdam Thursday, September 20, 7:30pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1529620430772-HVDPB4RXY6KNETKJ5UMJ/Resurreccion.jpg If You Can Screen It There RESURRECTION / RESURRECCIÓN (Eugenio Polgovsky, Mexico, 2016, 94 min, digital.

Co-presented by the Flaherty Film Seminar and Proyector The final film by the late Mexican director Eugenio Polgovsky—one of the finest documentary filmmakers of his generation—is a poignant portrait of a family’s fight for survival and the regeneration of their local river. Once known as the Mexican Niagara, the waterfall of El Salto de Juanacatlán was a source of immense joy and continuous sustenance for the villages surrounding it. This natural paradise disappeared when an industrial complex was established across the Santiago River close to Guadalajara. Nowadays its poisonous waters destroy everything in their path, including the memories of the fishermen and farmers who watched their whole world disappear. From among the toxic ruins of the river’s banks, ancient specters emerge as an echo of a lost Eden. The destiny of a river goes hand in hand with that of a village, and humanity itself. The film is screened on the occasion of the first anniversary of the death of Polgovsky. Preceded by Success (Eugenio Polgovsky, Mexico, 2014, 3 min.)

They live in an apartment that becomes their kingdom ruled by extravagant policies that they’ve imposed, including locking up their mother, Margarita, in a room. The children communicate with their mother through a small window, giving her blankets, DVDs and reading material, and celebrating her birthday in the corridor. When she’s eventually had enough, it’s Axel who must decide what to do. Shot in Argentina, So Long, Enthusiasm establishes Durán as a talent to watch.

In Spanish with English subtitles) New York Premiere Q&A with director Alejo Franzetti “Panke is an ode to survival; a very careful meditation on the melancholy of immigrants, made with a tone at once convincing and detached. The main character has nothing but the memories of his mother in Burkina Faso and his recently deceased brother. His brother, however, despite his death, demands attention. The body needs to be recognized before the authorities of an unknown city, the necessary papers need to be taken care of, as do the arrangements to return the body to Burkina Faso: a whole prosaic annex of death with rules that become urgent amidst the mourning. Focusing almost entirely on one character, this singular film reflects on the experience of displacement, as the protagonist sets out on a trip by foot towards an unlikely resolution of his tribulations.” –BAFICI Thursday, June 5, 7:30pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1522276647700-VWS3H8GQPY21Q3N3C372/image-asset.jpeg If You Can Screen It There THE ABSENT STONE / LA PIEDRA AUSENTE (Sandra Rozental and Jesse Lerner, Mexico/USA, 2013, 82 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) New York Premiere Q&A with co-director Sandra Rozental In 1964, the largest carved stone of the Americas was moved from the town of San Miguel Coatlinchan in the municipality of Texcoco to the National Anthropology Museum in Mexico City in an impressive feat of engineering. The extraction of the monolith, which represents the pre-Hispanic water deity, set off a rebellion in the town and led to the intervention of the army. Today, the enormous stone, now upright, is an urban monument; it has been transformed into one of the principal icons of Mexican national identity. The inhabitants of Coatlinchan insist that the removal of the stone has caused droughts. Representations and replicas of the absent stone appear everywhere in Coatlinchan, where it resonates in the memories of the inhabitants. Using animations, archival materials, and contemporary encounters with the protagonists of the transport of the stone, Sandra Rozental and Jesse Lerner’s playful documentary film explores the relevance of the ruins of the past in the present day.

New York Premiere “There are many films piercing through Cecilia Kang’s first feature; there’s a film about a family (her sister, her mother, her aunt, her grandmother). There’s also one about being an Argentine woman of Korean descent visiting Korea. And another one about being a Korean woman who, at the same time, acts like someone from Buenos Aires. There’s family love, friendship, the small tragedies and the great ones, emancipation, heartbreak, creativity. And none of these storylines drives us to a feeling of drift; they are parts of a mosaic that is pieced together in the viewer’s head thanks to a solid, strongly emotional core: the life of the director, who, in a spontaneous and loving display of generosity, dedicates My Last Failure to (in this order) a teacher from childhood, her eternal friends, and her sister.” —Mar del Plata Film Festival. Thursday, April 5, 7:30pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1517838094191-IDY9CLVNMLG3SX7OJEG2/slide+3+-+A+Vizinhanca+do+Tigreill.jpg If You Can Screen It There THE HIDDEN TIGER (A Vizinhança do Tigre, Affonso Uchoa, Brazil 2014, 95 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) New York Premiere Sponsored by the Consulate General of Brazil in New York Affonso Uchoa made a major critical splash on the festival circuit last spring with his award-winning film, Araby. However, Uchoa has been active as a filmmaker for the past eight years. Made in 2014, The Hidden Tiger charts the lives of a group of young residents of Nacional, a neighborhood in the suburbs of the city of Contagem. Juninho, Menor, Neguinho, Adilson, and Eldo live their lives in dialectical fragments of joy and adversity. Some work in construction, others in drug trafficking; a few attend heavy metal concerts, others play with guns; they read, dance carioca funk, and deal with their families as they struggle with the demands of their daily lives. Music is a key element in Uchoa’s rigorously gentle mise-en-scène—in concert with his patient gaze, it helps to illuminate the faces and bodies of Uchoa’s protagonists. The camera captures and crystallizes moments of small beauty in a landscape of social and economic conflict. “It is worth noting that, in contrast to the treatment given to pretentiously popular film programs on urban peripheries, here there is no place for demagogy. The film doesn't treat its dwellers as attractions for export, it is an exercise of admirable humanism, nurtured by the five years the director devoted to constructing this admirable fresco.” –André Ldc, Janela Magazine Monday, March 26, 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1517281281853-JFXQHFEJVZ4279ZVB3YI/peluquero_romantico_avila_duen%CC%83as.jpg If You Can Screen It There THE ROMANTIC BARBER (El peluquero romántico, Iván Ávila Dueñas, Mexico/Brazil, 2016, 98 min. In Spanish and Portuguese with English subtitles) New York Premiere Neighborhood barber Victor’s life is rather uneventful. He sticks to a strict daily routine at both work and home, where he spends his nights alongside his mother listening to boleros or watching movies from the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema on television. His routine is disrupted when his mother suddenly dies. His flirtation with a young waitress and his reunion with an old girlfriend can’t fill the void left behind by his mother. That changes, however, when a man claiming to be his father suddenly walks into the shop one day. The encounter will lead him to an unexpected and life-changing trip to Rio de Janeiro. The fifth feature by Mexican director Iván Ávila Dueñas, The Romantic Barber is a quirky and charming film about an anachronistic character in a vanishing environment.

In Spanish with English subtitles) New York Premiere Based on Guadalupe Gaona’s novel, Pozo de aire, Milagros Mumenthaler’s second feature delves deeper into the relationship of cinema with loss, memory, and youth. Inés, a photographer, is putting together a book of poems and images about her own past. In doing so, she finds her family dynamics shifting, as she and her mother and brother all come to terms with the absence of her father, who disappeared during the military dictatorship in Argentina. Mumenthaler moves away from the realm of naturalist representation in order to swim into the more obscure waters of artifice. The quest to make present what is absent suffuses the film and establishes Mumenthaler as one of the most interesting voices in contemporary Argentine cinema. “The film explores the idea of memory on several different levels, and demonstrates how memories can be transformed by things that happen in the present. That’s really the core of the film – the intimate memories that we all have, but also the idea of memory as a civic and political right.” –Milagros Mumenthaler Monday, January 29, 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/dc095660-9024-4933-badb-8764d69e5d0d/image-asset.jpg If You Can Screen It There PLANTS (Las plantas, Roberto Doveris, Chile, 2015, 93 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) New York Premiere Roberto Doveris’s debut feature film revolves around Florencia, a 17-year-old girl responsible for the care of her comatose older brother during the summer. Trying to survive with limited means and no assistance, she becomes obsessed with a comic book called “Las Plantas,” which depicts an invasion of earth by sentient plants who take possession of human bodies every full moon. At the same time, Florencia is going through her own sexual awakening, meeting strangers through the internet, and her monotonous daily routine begins to merge with the fantasy world of the comics and her own burgeoning desires. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Film at the Berlinale and associate-produced by Alicia Scherson (The Future, Family Life), Plants is “a sexually souped-up teen psycho-thriller…an original coming-of-age tale laced with pop culture” (Variety).

In Spanish with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere The building site of Casa Wabi, a house and arts center designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando among the beaches of Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, serves as the setting for the story of 7-year-old Coral, who visits the construction site every day after school to spend time with his godfather Diego. In addition to working on the construction crew, Diego is the leader of a musical group, and is addicted to his cellphone. One day, Coral meets Oriente, a carpenter and aspiring poet who dreams of seeing his faraway family again. Growing attached to his new friend, Coral decides he wants Oriente to become a second godfather to him. With exquisite camerawork by Pedro González-Rubio (Alamar) and co-produced by New York-based Mexican artist Bosco Sodi and Carlos Reygadas’s Mantarraya film production company, PACÍFICO is a calm and serene fictional debut, skillfully disguised as a documentary. “A quiet and modest charmer…small is beautiful in Fernanda Romandía’s docu-fiction hybrid PACÍFICO, which uses the world’s largest geographical feature as backdrop for a delicate wisp of a sun-kissed, seaside tale.” –Neil Young, Hollywood Reporter Thursday, November 16 at 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1507055096545-RFPZRR4LZWI3TDTHRYT0/677682_20160410231412.jpg If You Can Screen It There ABOUT 12 (Juana a los 12, Martín Shanly, Argentina, 2014, 80 min. In English and Spanish with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere Q&A with filmmaker The problem facing Juana, a 12-year-old girl, is imperceptible to others. She might even be even unaware of it herself, but it is latent in every shot of Martín Shanly’s debut feature: Juana fails easily. She performs poorly at her private British school in the outskirts of Buenos Aires and even worse in her social life among friends and family. About 12 nurtures a rare bitterness in its particular mixture of uncomfortable comedy and tempered tragedy. In the depiction of female bodies out-of-sync with the world they inhabit, Shanly’s film successfully blooms as an odd cousin to Todd Haynes’s Safe and Todd Solondz’s Welcome to the Dollhouse. The lead performance by Rosario Shanly – the director’s sister – transcends masks thanks to a mise-en-scène that manages to be as frail and mysterious as its main character. Juana’s inadequacy to deal with the most basic social rules turns her apparently passive behavior into an intimate revolutionary act, a silent cry of resistance that is both funny and piercing. Juana is a gentle girl, a soul maybe too beautiful for this world. “It is not a plain attitude that I find in Juana’s character, but a buffoonish darkness whose natural mask is the smile, or simply laughter, usually untimely, that transfigures (and makes much more interesting) the luminosity of her face. A smile that becomes vampiric.” –Nuria Silva, Hacerse la crítica Thursday, October 12 at 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/8efa1e03-bf79-4031-9213-2d4e8bafbc83/325037674_1280x720.jpg If You Can Screen It There WINTER HOUSE (Invernadero, Gonzalo Castro, Argentina, 2010, 94 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere Co-presented by McNally Jackson “A contemplation of the experimental one-armed Mexican novelist Mario Bellatín, a famed prankster who here engages with his daughter and friends (all fictional characters) in an interrogation of biography (itself a central conceit in Bellatín’s fiction).” —Maria Delgado, Sight & Sound “Who is Mario Bellatín anyway? A contemporary Mexican novelist, translated all over the world? Captain Hook, and the father of a grown-up daughter? An acupuncture enthusiast? A Muslim who believes in reincarnation? A widow, who isn’t gloomy, but still hasn’t got over it? A robust plant in a winter garden? Answers – Yes, yes, yes – across the board. It is this entangled web of script threads, and more besides, that animates Gonzalo Castro’s film. [...] Bellatín gradually becomes no longer a witness of himself, an author held hostage by his exposed genius, but a character who is above all going about his daily life. That is what is key. A funny, unpredictable character, a dandy without a mirror, except when he shaves with his left hand.” –Jean-Pierre Rehm, FIDMarseille Thursday, September 28 at 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1510448752749-HNG3KLDCVH5ES1A7UJ6Y/StrangeDays1.jpg If You Can Screen It There STRANGE DAYS (Días extraños, Juan Sebastián Quebrada, Colombia/Argentina, 2015, b&w, 71 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere Juan and Luna, two young Colombians living in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, are infatuated with each other. Their relationship oscillates between tender gestures and violent explosions. But when Luna meets a woman named Federica and brings her home, something changes, setting into crisis the fragile nature of their relationship. Quebrada’s auspicious debut feature, shot in a stylized black-and-white, was hailed by Sergio Wolf, former director of the Buenos Aires Independent Film Festival (BAFICI) as “one of the best Colombian films in decades.” Thursday, August 17 at 7:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1510448690468-2AZURK919E0ICPNJ7T4Q/Unknown.jpeg If You Can Screen It There CARMITA (Laura Amelia Guzmán & Israel Cárdenas, Mexico/Dominican Republic, 2013, 80 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere This film tells the story of Carmen Ignarra, the beautiful actress once known as “Cuba’s little princess,” who left the Caribbean island in the hopes of becoming a Hollywood star in the early 1950s. Her initial success was followed by a slow, painful decline as her jealous husband – a prominent Mexican producer – curtailed her career. Now 80 years old, Carmita lives forgotten in an old mansion in Monterrey, Mexico. Recounting her life to Guzmán, who is actively present onscreen, she talks about the past, wasted talent, and lost loves. Carmita echoes Sunset Boulevard and Grey Gardens, blurring the faint border between fiction and non-fiction.

In Spanish with English subtitles) New York Premiere. Filmmaker in Attendance! This slow-burn drama follows 17-year-old Nicolas, who lives with his mother and younger siblings in a small provincial city in Argentina. His estranged father, Jorge, a respected doctor, has decided that Nicolas will be his successor in both his medical practice and agricultural business. Nicolas obeys his father, but hates him. He has seen his mother suffer because of Jorge’s double life – having started a new family, Jorge refuses to acknowledge Nicolas’s mother or her children publicly. As tensions between father and son grow, Nicolas realizes that he must make a choice and take action for the sake of his future. Executive produced by Martin Scorsese, this fourth feature film by acclaimed Argentinean director Murga premiered in the official competition at the Berlinale. “[A] beautifully achieved film in which the most important things remain unspoken and placid surfaces belie cauldrons of violent emotion. […] It’s easy to see why Martin Scorsese has taken such a keen interest in Murga’s work. She is, not unlike the young Scorsese himself, very much a ‘neighborhood’ filmmaker, who renders her native milieu – the sleepy provincial towns of Entre Rios, north of Buenos Aires – with an intensely lyrical, sensuous gaze.” –Scott Foundas, Variety.

The third feature film by acclaimed Mexican director Matías Meyer (The Last Christeros, The Cramp) is an adaptation of a short story of the same name by Nobel laureate author J. M. G. Le Clézio. The film follows Yo, a teenager in the body of an adult with an apparent mental incapacity. He lives and works at his mother’s roadside café by a busy highway. One day he meets Elena, an eleven-year-old girl, who will change his life forever. Winner of the Best Film award at the Morelia Film Festival and a Special Mention at the Fribourg Film Festival, Yo is an intriguing mediation on the epic human journey of emotional maturation.

In Spanish with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere. Filmmaker in Attendance! As an act of revenge against the woman who abandoned him and as a way to exorcise his own demons, the rural poet and musician Rafael writes a screenplay in which, by means of twelve songs, he narrates the story of his own life. Raymundo, on the other hand, is a tired, depressed, and potentially suicidal man who approaches Rafael seeking financial support and solace. But Rafael, blinded by his ambition, betrays him in more ways than one, and travels to Mexico City in search of funds to produce his film. A playful and self-reflexive tale, La Maldad's intriguing and captivating atmosphere reveals the desolation that overwhelms its protagonists. “La Maldad marks a promising if enigmatic feature debut from cinematographer turned director Joshua Gil. […] The movie works best as an abstract contemplation on life, death and the passing of time, recalling the more conceptual work of fellow Mexican filmmaker Carlos Reygadas.” –Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter Saturday, April 22 at 5:30pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/2fbcd76f-75e5-4fab-b8fe-ce7b7741a7c8/image-asset.jpg If You Can Screen It There VERANO (José Luis Torres Leiva, Chile, 2011, 93 min, digital. In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) The second fiction feature by José Luis Torres Leiva, one of the leading Chilean filmmakers of his generation whose work has had very limited exposure in the U.S. Verano is a choral drama set on a hot summer day in the south of Chile, where small events shape the lives of visitors and employees of an established thermal resort. A dozen characters experience the long vacation hours in nature – sleeping in the sun, learning how to drive, cleaning the house, kissing for the first time, swimming at night, or just walking and talking, while the day slowly unravels into small fragments of happiness and discovery. The cast includes Argentinean actress/singer Rosario Bléfari (who played the title role in Martín Rejtman’s Silvia Prieto), and Chilean documentary filmmaker Ignacio Agüero.

In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Hernán Rosselli’s auspicious debut feature film, a winner at the Buenos Aires Independent Film Festival (BAFICI), is a sharp character study following Mauro (played by Mauro Martínez), a metalworker who moonlights as a currency forger trading fake bills in the streets of Buenos Aires. He decides to set up a little printing shop with his roommate Luis and Luis’s pregnant girlfriend to produce counterfeit money. Yet things get complicated when he falls for the mysterious Paula. “An engrossing X-ray of life in a southern barrio of Buenos Aires that doubles as a study of a society in crisis, Mauro ripples with quiet virtues. First-timer Rosselli has brought to his debut feature the same precision and craft as his troubled protagonist brings to his forgery, and the result is a slow-burning, intense item that exists somewhere on the increasingly blurred line between feature and documentary, harking back to established films such as Pablo Trapero’s Crane World and, indeed, to the Romanian New Wave in its dark, focused gaze and its unpatronizing treatment of social issues.” –Jonathan Holland, The Hollywood Reporter.

New York Premiere) Opening Night · Q&A with Benjamín Naishtat with reception to follow Continuing his preoccupation with violence and Argentina’s past, Benjamín Naishtat (History of Fear, a New Directors/New Films 2014 selection) dramatizes a crucial moment in that nation’s history characterized by political zealotry and terrorism. Pablo Cedrón portrays the fiery, unhinged leader of a mysterious militia (modeled on Confederacy-era dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas’s Mazorca) who wantonly roam the pampas in an effort to "purify” and unite society, killing and plundering settlers along the way. Characters emerge from and disappear into dark expanses—the film is masterfully shot in black and white—heightening its intense, chilling atmosphere. Funded by the Jeonju Digital Project.

In Spanish and Swedish with English and Spanish subtitles. New York Premiere) Fusing elements of Edgar Allan Poe’s titular short story and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Alejo Moguillansky and Fia-Stina Sandlund’s meta-film follows an Argentine-Swedish co-production in Buenos Aires shooting a biopic of the 19th-century realist author and proto-feminist Victoria Benedictsson. After a hustling actor finds a treasure map detailing the location of ancient gold hidden near a town in the Misiones province named after the 19th-century politician Leandro N. Alem, he successfully persuades the producers to reframe the project as a portrait of the radical Alem (swapping feminist politics for anti-Eurocentric ones) and move the production there—so he can better search for the treasure. Fast-paced and hilariously self-reflexive, the film takes a playful approach to texts and history that is reminiscent of Borges.

A difficult pregnancy assisted only by traditional medicine finally leads her to the hectic big city, but on very grim terms. Shot in collaboration with the Kaqchikel Mayans of Guatemala’s coffee-growing highlands, Jayro Bustamante’s exquisitely shot debut feature (winner of a top prize at the Berlinale and Guatemala’'s Oscar submission) explores what tradition and modernity mean for women living in marginalized communities.

The elderly Alfonso (Haimer Leal) returns to the small house in Valle del Cauca he left 17 years earlier in order to care for his bedridden son Geraldo (Edison Raigosa), who suffers from a mysterious ailment related to the harsh farming techniques of the sugar-cane plantations around them. Tensions quietly simmer between Alfonso and his ex-wife (the wonderful Hilda Ruiz), but familial ties and pride keep them tied to the land in Acevedo’s meditative and painterly allegory.

In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Q&A with Luis Ospina Luis Ospina (The Vampire of Poverty, Paper Tiger) turns the camera toward his radical roots—and his own intestines—for this documentary about the Cali Group, the Colombian artists’ collective that revolutionized art, cinema, and literature amid drug-related terrorism in the 1970s and ’80s. Boasting a wide array of never-before-seen archival material, Ospina (the group’s only surviving member, who was diagnosed with cancer during the making of the film) focuses on telling the stories of co-founders Andrés Caicedo and Carlos Mayolo. Never maudlin or self-important, this kaleidoscopic inside view of “Caliwood” is essential viewing for anyone looking for darkly comic, anarchic inspiration. U.S. Premiere Saturday, January 9, 2pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1465092763085-PJ4OKMHGE96QAARREWYF/image-asset.png Neighboring Scenes 2016 MAR (Dominga Sotomayor, Chile, 2014, 70min. In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Reminiscent of the films of Josephine Decker and Joe Swanberg, this low-key drama centers on the problems between Martin, aka Mar (Lisandro Rodríguez), and his girlfriend, Eli (Vanina Montes). On vacation in the Argentine resort town of Villa Gesell, conflicts arise concerning expectations and long-term commitments —having a baby, home ownership—but get pushed aside or elided. A visit from Martin’s gregarious, wine-guzzling mother and a random act of God threaten to push the couple to breaking point. Dominga Sotomayor matches her characters’ frustrations with the film’s expert framing, which often obscures faces and bodies, visually emphasizing their mutual misunderstanding.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Q&A with Rodrigo Plá Developed in tandem with his wife’s novel of the same title, Rodrigo Plá (The Delay, The Zone) crafts another airtight thriller, this time taking on a health-insurance system that prefers profit to adequate medical care. Refused treatment that would alleviate her terminally ill husband’s pain—yet not the frustrations of dealing with maddening bureaucracy —Sonia (Jana Raluy) snaps and, gun in hand, single-mindedly goes up the chain of command with a vengeance. The series of increasingly harrowing provocations are interspersed with moments of dark comedy, and coalesce into a final, shocking climax.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Based on a true story, the latest feature by Arturo Ripstein is an unflinching look at the mean streets of El Defectuoso. Two prostitutes, Adela (Nora Velázquez) and Dora (Patricia Reyes Spíndola), are burdened by horrible marriages and financial problems stemming from their long-departed youth. In an attempt to make ends meet, they drug and rob dwarf twins (Juan Francisco Longoria and Guillermo López)— who themselves barely scrape by as doubles for professional luchadores. Ripstein masterfully contrasts the grittiness of alleyways and seedy apartments with gliding Steadicam cinematography, siding with neither the victims nor the perpetrators. U.S. Premiere Sunday, January 10, 3pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1465095306503-KOBG2CE1YMNWM9EWMH3E/image-asset.jpeg Neighboring Scenes 2016 ALEXFILM (Pablo Chavarría Gutiérrez, Mexico, 2015, 60 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Marked by a light touch and emphasizing openness over conventional, linear narrative, biologist-turned-filmmaker Pablo Chavarria Gutiérrez documents the rhythms of a man awaiting an important event that never comes. As he cooks breakfast, naps, paints, tries on sunglasses, and wanders through different rooms in his home, Chavarría Gutiérrez lovingly frames every action in beautiful natural light, allowing each moment to flow to the next while maintaining its own transcendent essence. North American Premiere Screening with: GULLIVER (María Alché, Argentina, 2015, 25min. InSpanish with English subtitles) Flawlessly transitioning from a highly naturalistic family tale to something overtly surreal and back again, Gulliver captures the circumstances—imagined or not—of one of those evenings when siblings come to a deeper understanding of one another. After hanging out at home with their mom (Martín Rejtman regular Susana Pampin) and older sister Mariela (Agustina Muñoz), Agos and Renzo go to a raging party where Agos ends up drinking too much. Upon stepping outside to recover, the pair wander into a strange but familiar landscape, and begin to ask questions about the world and themselves.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Q&A with Ives Rosenfeld Focused on the alluring promise of wealth and fame that professional soccer holds for Brazilian youth, Ives Rosenfeld’s directorial debut features a host of excellent performances from its cast. Junior (Ariclenes Barroso) ekes out a living working nights at a warehouse while playing by day in an amateur league with his talented best friend Bento (Sergio Malheiros). When Bento gets signed to a professional team, Junior struggles with his crippling jealousy—which becomes heightened by his pregnant girlfriend and alcoholic uncle. Artfully lensed and deliberately paced, the film silently builds toward a legitimately shocking climax that provides a grim reality check.

In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Pablo Larraín (director of No and Post Mortem) continues to explore the long shadows of Chile’s recent past with this quietly scathing film about the Catholic Church’s concealment of clerical misconduct. Four aging former priests peacefully live out their days together in a dumpy seaside town, focused on training their racing greyhound rather than doing penance for their assorted crimes. Their idyll is shattered when a fifth priest arrives and, confronted by one of his victims, commits suicide. A young priest begins an investigation into the retirees’ pasts, setting off a series of events that call into question faith, piety, and complicity. Winner of the Silver Bear at the 2015 Berlinale and Chile’'s Oscar submission.

In Spanish and English with English subtitles) Winner – Best U.S. Latino Film The critically acclaimed Mala Mala explores the intimate moments, performances, friendships and activism of trans identifying people, drag queens and others who defy typical gender identities in Puerto Rico. The film features Ivana, an activist; Soraya, an older sex-change pioneer; Sandy, a prostitute looking to make a change; and Samantha and Paxx, both of whom struggle with the quality of medical resources available to assist in their transition. Hailed as “Sensitive and thoughtful” by the New York Times and winner of the audience award for documentary film at the Tribeca Film Festival, Mala Mala affirms that the quest to find oneself can be both difficult and beautiful.

In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Winner – Best Documentary Using reenactments and interviews, filmmaker Abner Benaim documents the collective memory -as well as the selective amnesia- of his fellow Panamanians around the 1989 U.S. invasion to overthrow General Manuel Noriega. The lives of the people of the Central American nation were deeply shaken by the American military incursion. Invasion–Panama’s first film to be submitted for the Best Foreign Language Oscar– is a witty and engaging documentary that talks about the perils of sovereignty, democracy and endangered virtues of today’s ultra-capitalist world. The film not only explores the mechanisms in which memory is turned into history, but holds a mirror to the present to show how the recent past shape the current Panama.

In Kaqchikel and Spanish with English subtitles) Winner – Best First Film Winner of the Berlinale’s Silver Bear Alfred Bauer Prize–the top honor ever won by a Central American film–Ixcanul marks the auspicious debut of Guatemalan filmmaker Jayro Bustamante. The film follows María (played by María Mercedes Coroy), a 17-year-old Mayan girl who lives and works in a coffee plantation that sits at the base of an active volcano in Guatemala. Although Maria dreams of going to the 'big city,' her condition as an indigenous woman does not permit her to change her destiny, and an arranged wedding is waiting for her. A snake bite forces her to go out into the modern world where her life is saved, but at a steep price. Ixcanul is a beautiful and poignant meditation on the clash between tradition and modernity.

Molero, Peru/USA, 2015, color, 102 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Nominated – Best First Film The first Peruvian film to ever win the Tiger Award at the Rotterdam Film Festival, Videophilia (and Other Viral Syndromes) follows Luz, a teenage misfit from Lima who meets online Junior, a weird slacker who is obsessed with conspiracy theories, Mayan prophecies of the end of the world, and underground porn. They try to hook up in the real life but supernatural events start to unfold to guide their destinies. Set in Lima, Juan Daniel F. Molero’s exhilarating debut fiction film is a playful mashup of internet cafes, slackers, not-so-innocent schoolgirls, amateur porn, Google Glass, acid trips and guinea pigs as extras in an exorcism.

In Danish and Spanish with English subtitles.) Winner – Best Fiction Film An astonishingly beautiful and gripping Western starring Viggo Mortensen, Jauja begins in a remote outpost in Patagonia during the late 1800s. Captain Gunnar Dinesen has come from abroad with his fifteen year-old daughter to take an engineering job with the Argentine army. Being the only female in the area, Ingeborg creates quite a stir among the men. She falls in love with a young soldier, and one night they run away together. When Dinesen realizes what has happened, he decides to venture into enemy territory, against his men’s wishes, to find the young couple. Featuring a superb performance from Mortensen, Jauja (the name suggests a fabled city of riches sought by European explorers) is the story of a man’s desperate search for his daughter, a solitary quest that takes him to a place beyond time, where the past vanishes and the future has no meaning.

In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Opening Night · Q&A with Joaquín del Paso with reception to follow Buy Tickets Family businesses are hard to come by these days—and so are manufacturing plants. When the head of Panamerican Machinery dies on a Friday morning, his employees discover how rare their situation is: Don Alejandro had been paying them out of his own pocket, and that any severance or retirement funds are nonexistent. Rather than face the world that’s made them obsolete, the workers decide to lock themselves inside the plant until they reach a decision about how to proceed. Over the course of the weekend, everyone’s behavior grows increasingly strange. Shot on expired film stock, the film deftly moves between socioeconomic commentary and deadpan slapstick.

In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Buy Tickets Based on the novel by Argentine poet Juan José Saer, Gustavo Fontán’s beautiful film observes, over the course of a single day, three interrelated families who live around the Parana River. Wenceslao (Germán de Silva of Las acacias and Wild Tales) blames himself for his son’s death six years prior, but attempts to get his still-grieving wife to attend her sister’s New Year’s Eve party; she refuses, even after her nieces and other sisters join in the effort. Throughout, DP Diego Poleri captures the golden-hued radiance of the river during the day as spellbindingly as he does the charcoal-tinted night.

In Spanish with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Buy Tickets Jesús, an arrogant, third-rate Justin Bieber-type, has essentially dropped out of high school and lives in an apartment with his fellow boy band mates. One night, he and his bros get really drunk and beat another teen so badly that he falls into a coma and dies. With the police eager to find the culprit or culprits, Jesús’s friends immediately turn on him, which leaves only his widowed father to help. Although their relationship has been strained, his dad goes to extremes to protect him. Exquisitely shot, and moodily lit, this tense thriller will keep you guessing about the outcome until the final frame.

In Spanish with English subtitles. North American Premiere) Buy Tickets Stripping narrative down to its bare bones, Pablo Lamar’s debut feature is an elegant entry in the slow cinema canon. After an elderly man helps an ailing woman take her last bite of food, he undertakes preparations for a cremation ritual, which is then interspersed with shots of flowing water and fire. Meticulously composed and free of dialogue, the film conveys mourning and grief through rhythm and time, each carefully chosen element imbued with symbolism. The journey Lamar offers is exquisitely rendered, and one well worth taking.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets A powerful allegory about the violence of Colombia’s 50-plus-year civil war, Felipe Guerrero’s harrowing film literally denies its protagonists a voice. Three women—one whose village was destroyed by troops, one who stabs her paramilitary boyfriend to death and flees, and a soldier who refuses to follow her inhumane orders to bury the slaughtered villagers—find new ways to survive in Bogotá after being displaced by their respective traumas. Guerrero’s trenchant symbolism explores gendered violence and the barbarism of humanity. Winner of the Spanish Cooperation Award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival.

In Spanish with English subtitles. North American Premiere) Buy Tickets Humans have significantly altered the natural world in a way that no other species has. In Natalia Cabral and Oriol Estrada’s film, an award-winner at the 2016 IDFA Documentary Festival in Amsterdam, we witness one of the more obvious modes of this change: the creation of an artificial beach on a Caribbean resort. Alternating between semi-direct addresses to the camera and more intimate fly-on-the-wall moments, the film shows us the wealthy denizens of the resort—a beach bum actress, golfers—and the laborers who are reshaping the land for their benefit. Subtly teasing out the intersection of race, class, and environment, this documentary is not to be missed.

In Spanish with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Q&A with Lina Rodríguez Buy Tickets Like most girls her age, 17-year-old Adelaida alternates between intentionally pushing her parents’ buttons and enjoying their affection (such as having mom bring her stuff when she’s too lazy to get out of bed). However, Adelaida’s rebellions over boys and curfews cease to matter after tragedy strikes her family. Without ever getting bogged down in tears or outbursts about grief, This Time Tomorrow deftly explores teenage girlhood and marriage through astutely constructed but low-key situations. Through the film’s disjointed narrative structure, director Lina Rodriguez brilliantly echoes her protagonist’s volatile, capricious emotional state.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Adapted from Humberto Costantini’s novel, this view of Argentina’s Dirty War is told from the perspective of the country’s silent majority. When an old girlfriend contacts him about republishing a communist-themed poem he wrote years earlier, Francisco is more preoccupied with whether or not he will receive a promotion at work. But when they meet, she asks him to notify two of her friends that the junta is looking for them. Over the course of one night, Francisco travels through the city, wrestling with his conscience—but he might or might not be alone. The Long Night of Francisco Sanctis is a timely investigation of what it means to be silent under a despotic government.

In Spanish with English subtitles. North American Premiere) Q&A with Laura Huertas Millán Buy Tickets Opera singers and addicts in recovery are certainly prone to melodramatic depictions in film, but Laura Huertas Millán’s austere portrait of her aunt Antonia—who happens to be both opera singer and addict—never crosses into the realms of exploitation. First glimpsed giving a young singer lessons on breathing and performance, the middle-aged Antonia is shown living at a rehab center, talking about her suicide attempt and relationship with her estranged son. Through the prism of her Facebook statuses, aria performances, and recollections of the director’s mother, we slowly gain an understanding of a woman still learning to understand herself.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Special 50th Anniversary Screening A pivotal film from one of the key figures of Brazil’s Cinema Novo movement, Terra em Transe is an urgent and poetic account of political corruption, the systems that shape it, and the challenges of active citizenship in times of political upheaval. Made three years after the right-wing coup d’etat in Brazil, the film is set in the fictional country of El Dorado, in which a young intellectual attempts to chart a political path. First joining the extreme right, and then a party of the left, he ultimately finds dispiriting power dynamics in each. Told through a mesmeric style, and mixing surrealist and realist aesthetics, Terra em Transe is a resonant work of political cinema that pushes its audience to examine its own role in civil society.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Filmmaking team Bettina Perut and Iván Osnovikoff present to the viewer the otherworldly landscape of the Salar de Surire, a salt flat located 4,300 meters above sea level in the Chilean Andes. Along with views of the unique geology (hot springs, now being tapped for a geothermal energy project) and wildlife (which include pink flamingoes), the film presents plenty of dryly comic moments shared by the people who live in this seemingly inhospitable land, who are descended from the Aymara tribe. Through gorgeously shot long takes, this extreme terrain slowly reveals itself to symbolize contrast—between humanity’s future and its past.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Using nonprofessional actors, this fiction film from established documentarian Marilia Rocha explores notions of nationhood and belonging. At the request of her mother, Portuguese expat Francisca welcomes old friend Teresa into her Belo Horizonte apartment. Both are nearly thirty, and find themselves at a crossroads, one created as much by the Portuguese financial crisis as their individual personalities. While Teresa eagerly embraces the rhythms and openness of Brazilian life, Francisca still desires to return to Portugal. Through largely improvised dialogue, Rocha’s beautifully shot film deftly explores their relationships to themselves and their surroundings.

Belén, the wide-eyed and placid domestic, obediently tends to Diana, an overbearing socialite, and her sporty, temperamental adult son (hilariously referred to throughout only as “Juanchí”), and sparks a romance with a kind security guard.

In Portuguese with English subtitles)   Directed by Edu Felistoque, Badi observes the personal trajectory and career of the singer, guitarist, and composer Badi Assad. From classical to pop, the film follows Badi and her guitar as they move through the hyper-masculine musical universe - persistently reinventing herself and confronting challenges, including the pressure of belonging to a family of virtuoso musicians, with lightness. This gentle and strong woman, with her own creative process and enormous talent, is not afraid to take risks and charm the world without losing sight of who she is: a simple girl from the interior of São Paulo who values not strident success but the simple emotionality of art and life. The documentary features guest appearances by the Assad brothers, Larry Coryell, Toquinho, Naná Vasconcelos, Seu Jorge, and other great names of Brazilian and International music.   Badi will perform with at Guild Hall on Saturday, July 7 at 8pm.

In Spanish and English with English subtitles) Winner – Best Documentary Tatiana Huezo’s second documentary feature (after her acclaimed debut The Tiniest Place) recounts the story of two women: Miriam, who was wrongly accused of human trafficking and imprisoned in a jail controlled by a drug cartel, and Adela, a circus performer who has been looking for her kidnapped daughter for over a decade. Through a subjective and emotional journey, and with striking cinematography by Ernesto Prado (who was nominated for an American Society of Cinematographers Award for his work in the film), Tempestad conveys the paralyzing power of fear and reflects the impact of the violence and impunity that afflict Mexico. Hailed as “a rich and original piece of work” (IndieWire), Tempestad was selected by Film Comment as one of the best undistributed films of 2016.

In English, Spanish, Arabic with English subtitles) Winner – Best U.S. Latino Film In Bernardo Britto’s “playful, lo-fi travelogue” (The New Yorker), a filmmaker receives a series of panicked emails and phone calls from a young French woman—Jacqueline Dumont. She implores him to travel to Argentina to document her self-imposed political exile after she supposedly leaks highly confidential government secrets detailing a planned assassination. Jacqueline expects severe fallout and wants the filmmaker recording everything in case anything happens to her. As soon as the filmmaker and his two interns arrive at Jacqueline’s Argentine remote holistic center/safe haven, they begin to think she might be more interested in singing Britney Spears songs and hanging out with her new friend than helping the filmmakers unearth a huge government conspiracy. Nevertheless, they soldier on, desperately hoping they will somehow end up with some semblance of a worthwhile film and maybe—just maybe—find a kernel of truth in Jacqueline’s paranoid ramblings.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Winner – Best Director, Documentary Internationally acclaimed photographer Maya Goded makes a promising film debut with Plaza de la Soledad, a continuation of her photography work in La Merced neighborhood in Mexico City, where prostitution has been present since the days of the Aztecs. “Beautiful, respectful, and celebratory” (Film Comment), the film follows four strong women—middle-aged and older—who want to break a vicious circle that began with abuse and abandonment suffered from an early age. Carmen, Lety, Raquel, and Esther aspire for a better life, and Goded’s poignant lens follows their quest to find true love, their capacity to transform themselves, and above all, their resilience and solidarity.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Winner – Best First Film Winner, Best First Fiction Film. Dir. Nelson Carlo de los Santos. As stories of violence in Mexican border towns continue to make international headlines, alternative ways of making sense of this brutal reality are more vital than ever. In his auspicious debut fiction film, Dominican filmmaker Nelson Carlo de los Santos cleverly extrapolates from Chilean author Roberto Bolaño’s unfinished, posthumously published novel 2666 to explore a multiplicity of perspectives and voices in a town riven by bloodshed. In the fictional town of Santa Teresa (a stand-in for Ciudad Juárez) on the border between Mexico and the United States, the researcher Juan de Dios Martínez straddles the line between journalism and detective work, investigating a handful of crimes and abuses perpetrated on women and workers of the zone. Mixing fiction, nonfiction, and essay, Santa Teresa & Other Stories is a lyrical, experimental take on the humanitarian crisis in Mexico brought on by the drug wars.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Winner – Best Director, Fiction Based on a true—yet bizarre—crime story, the latest film by veteran auteur Arturo Ripstein is a black-and-white lusciously shot noir melodrama that tells the story of two prostitutes (Patricia Reyes Spíndola and Nora Velásquez) who mistakenly kill two twin mini-luchadores in downtown Mexico City in a robbery attempt to make ends meet. "Ripstein plunges into a Mexico City demimonde of crime, prostitution, and wrestling… (and) imbues his Buñuelian tableaux with both empathy and dark humor." (Film Forum).

In Portuguese with English subtitles.) Winner – Best Fiction Film Aptly described as “wild, sensual, and utterly transporting” by the Toronto International Film Festival, where it had its world premiere, Neon Bull marks a great leap forward for Gabriel Mascaro, the Brazilian writer-director whose background as a documentary filmmaker is revealed in his deeply observational style. He is creating a form of poetic realism, and Neon Bull is a bold and transgressive look at sexual identity within the context of the vaquejada, an exhibition sport in which cowboys try to pull bulls to the ground by their tails. The freewheeling film revolves around a traveling group of performers, including a rugged cowhand who spends much of his time fashioning sexy outfits for a truck-driving female exotic dancer. .

From the golden era of the Radio Nacional, through Bossa Nova, Tropicalia, Samba, MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) and through these days, the film is a love letter to the cultural legacy of the South American country. The film was conceived, directed, produced and narrated by the actress Lúcia Verissimo—daughter of the maestro Severino Filho, founder of the influential vocal group Os Cariocas, launchers of the Bossa Nova movement—who had direct access to some of the who's who of Brazilian music, including artists, musicologists, writers, maestros, composers and historians.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) With the presence of Nelson Freire. Free Admission. Space is limited. Click here to RSVP. "In films such as Noticias de Uma Guerra Particular, Joao Moreira Salles has demonstrated a keen interest in examining the dark underbelly of Brazilian society. But in this, his most recent documentary, he turns his eye to an aspect of his country that merits celebration. Nelson Freire is probably one of the best-kept secrets in the world of the piano. The international press has acclaimed him as one of the greatest pianists of our time, comparing him to legendary greats such as Sergei Rachmaninov, Alfred Cortot, Josef Hofmann, Arthur Rubinstein, and Glenn Gould. Despite many accolades and commendations, however, Freire has avoided the spotlight, focusing on developing himself musically. Salles explains that in doing the documentary he wished to explore the idea of pudor or the tremendous modesty that Freire manifests toward exhibiting himself as a celebrity. The film eschews the usual interviews with friends and witnesses in favor of a direct cinema approach that lets Freire's modesty and candor shine through, eloquently and cinematically. Highlights include discussions of the revered pianists Guiomar Novaes and Martha Argerich, Freire's love for American jazz and Hollywood cinema of the 1940s, and an incredible letter that his father wrote him when Freire was eight. This is a moving portrait of the soul of a unique Brazilian musician. Watching it, one understands what it is to be—no, one feels oneself becoming—more fully human." —Tribeca Film Festival Nelson Freire will perform with the Grand Rapids Symphony at Carnegie Hall on Friday, April 20 at 8pm.

In Spanish with English subtitles) — Winner Best First Film Q&A with the filmmaker Co-presented with the Venezuelan Film Festival in New York (VEFFNY). Buy Tickets In a hypnotic blend of fiction and a documentary-like style, Jorge Thielen Armand looks beyond the headlines and gives a voice to those affected by contemporary Venezuela’s inner turmoil. La Soledad follows José, a young father who discovers that the dilapidated mansion he squats will soon be demolished. Desperate to save his family from homelessness, José embarks on a mystical search for a cursed treasure that is rumored to be buried in the house. Based on the filmmaker’s family and childhood home, most of the characters are played by his real friends and family members. Thielen Armand’s lyrical debut feature offers a poignant allegory of the desperate reality of today's Venezuela. Friday, February 2, 7pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1516295088510-TVA1DKDOFOGRZT789YKJ/1509478748.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2018 ADRIANA’S PACT (El pacto de Adriana, Lissette Orozco, Chile, 2017, 96 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) — Special Jury Mention New York Premiere Buy Tickets Adriana was always director Lissette Orozco's favorite aunt. A confident woman who had settled in Australia, one day in 2007 she is suddenly arrested while visiting her family in Chile and accused of having worked for dictator Pinochet’s notorious secret police, DINA. As the aunt denies these accusations, her niece sets out to investigate Adriana’s history, managing the tough balancing act of maintaining her role as both niece and filmmaker. “Raw and compelling… a brave documentary” (Jay Weissberg, Variety), Lissette Orozco’s extremely personal debut feature is a riveting personal journey that serves as a timely account of lies and self-deception, both within a family and a nation. Saturday, February 3, 2pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1516295842181-LVMQ9YP68YY1CJJ7S7RX/moaph_publicity_still_3_aquin_miguel.png Cinema Tropical Festival 2018 MEMORIES OF A PENITENT HEART (Cecilia Aldarondo, USA/Puerto Rico, 2016, 74 min. In English and Spanish with English subtitles) — Winner Best U.S. Latino Film Q&A with the filmmaker Buy Tickets Combining a wealth of newly discovered home movies, video, and written documents with artfully shot contemporary interviews and vérité footage, Memories of a Penitent Heart is a documentary that cracks open a Pandora’s box of unresolved family drama. Originating from filmmaker Cecilia Aldarondo’s suspicion that there was something ugly in her family’s past, the film charts her excavation of the buried family conflict around her uncle Miguel’s death, and her search for Miguel’s partner Robert a generation later. After two years of dead ends, Robert turns up: but he’s not the same man. He’s reinvented himself as Father Aquin, a Franciscan monk with twenty-five years of pent-up grief and bitterness. For the first time, a member of Miguel’s family wants to hear Aquin’s side of the story—but is it too little, too late? A story about the mistakes of the past and the second chances of the present, Memories of a Penitent Heart is a cautionary tale about the unresolved conflicts wrought by AIDS, and a nuanced exploration of how faith is used and abused in times of crisis. Saturday, February 3, 4pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1516296658727-0PLR56W3Q41MZV5B1JKZ/Araby.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2018 ARABY (Arábia, Affonso Uchoa and João Dumans, Brazil, 98 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) — Winner, Best Film Buy Tickets Andre, a teenager, lives in an industrial town in Brazil near an old aluminum factory. One day, a factory worker, Cristiano, suffers an accident. Asked to go to Cristiano’s house to pick up clothes and documents, Andre stumbles upon a notebook, and it’s here that Araby begins — or, rather, transforms. As Andre reads from the journal entries, we are plunged into Cristiano’s life, into stories of his wanderings, adventures, and loves. "An instant classic… Marked by boundless humanism" (Neil Young, The Hollywood Reporter) and beautifully written and filmed, Araby is a fable-like road movie about a young man who sets off on a twenty-year journey in search of a better life. A Grasshopper Film release. Sunday, February 4, 3pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1516296762045-PJJ1SQHKAJ678LJXZPQD/TheHumanSurge.jpg Cinema Tropical Festival 2018 THE HUMAN SURGE (El auge del humano, Eduardo Williams, Argentina/Portugal/Brazil, 2016, 97 min. In Spanish, Portuguese and Cebuano with English subtitles) — Winner, Best Director Buy Tickets Buenos Aires. Exe, 25 years old, has just lost his job and is not looking for another one. His neighbors and friends seem as odd to him as they always have. Online, he meets Alf, a boy from Mozambique who is also bored with his job and who is about to follow Archie, another boy who has run away into the jungle. Through the dense vegetation of the forest, Archie tracks ants back to their nest. One of them wanders off course and comes across Chai, a Filipina who is sitting on a giant heap of earth and about to return to her strange, beautiful home town. The mysterious, humorous ways in which their adventures connect (or don’t) fuels The Human Surge, a film about our present moment that boldly and wildly looks towards our future. Winner of the top prize in the 2016 Locarno Film Festival’s Filmmakers of the Present section, William’s audacious debut feature has been hailed as “an exhilarating, boldly paradoxical experience” (Nick Pinkerton, Artforum).

In Spanish with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Q&A with Anahí Berneri Buy Tickets Winner of the Best Director and Best Actress awards at the San Sebastian Film Festival, the fifth feature by Argentine filmmaker Anahí Berneri is a poignant and compelling drama that portrays three days in the life of a young Buenos Aires mother and sex worker struggling to survive. Featuring a potent performance by Sofía Gala Castiglione in the title role (alongside her real-life son Dante), the film offers an unsentimental and non-moralizing take on a self-determined woman trying to live her unapologetic life while facing contradictory prostitution laws that are intended to protect her but often do the opposite.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Buy Tickets Reminiscent of the films of Hong Sang-soo and Matías Piñeiro, Mouramateus’s debut offers a simple yet scrambled tale of love, longing, and the theater. After angering his father, António seeks refuge in his ex-girlfriend Mariana’s Lisbon apartment, where he meets Débora, a Brazilian woman on her way to Russia. Inevitably, he ends up romantically involved in different ways with each of them. Meanwhile, António’s autobiographical play—which borrows from Dostoevsky's White Nights—complicates our understanding of his motivations and our own relationship to the film (which is also based on White Nights). As the film goes on, repetitions of scenes (with slight alterations) further speak to the ambivalence of young love.

In Spanish with English subtitles. New York premiere) Q&A with Santiago Mitre Buy Tickets Santiago Mitre (The Student) continues his ongoing cinematic investigation into politics with his third feature, set at a summit of Latin American presidents in Chile. Here, the Argentine president—played by acclaimed actor Ricardo Darín—endures a political and familial drama that will force him to face his own demons. This high-profile thriller, an official selection at the Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard section, boasts an impressive international cast including Dolores Fonzi, Erica Rivas (Wild Tales), Elena Anaya (The Skin I Live In), Paulina García (Gloria), Daniel Giménez Cacho (Zama), Alfredo Castro (The Club), and Christian Slater.

In Spanish, Rapa Nui, and English with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Buy Tickets Easter Island (Rapa Nui) has long been a grand mystery of archeology—how did such a large civilization fall, and does it foreshadow our own ruin? For the indigenous people who currently live there, the island’s past carries a very different legacy: one of colonial abuse and inescapable remoteness. Panizza’s film shows the legacy of this exploitation, as well as the daily rhythms of the small prison on the island, in a film constructed from pieces of 32 documentaries (many of which include similar voiceovers and framing, despite being shot by crews from different countries) and original present-day footage. Winner of Best Chilean Film at the Valdivia Film Festival.

In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Q&A with María José Cuevas Buy Tickets María José Cuevas’s engrossing and captivating debut feature, winner of the Best Documentary award at the Morelia Film Festival, is a moving portrait of five of Mexico’s most popular and iconic showgirls of the late 1970s and ’80s, almost 40 years after they ruled Mexico’s entertainment world. Eight years in the making, with a keen eye and devoid of any sensationalism, the documentary enters the fascinating world of these women, who have struggled to reinvent themselves after the decline of the burlesque heyday.

In Spanish with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Q&A with Alejo Moguillansky Buy Tickets Moguillansky’s follow-up to The Gold Beetle is a fantasia that elegantly weaves together disparate elements: Hans Christian Andersen's tale of the title, Bresson’s saintly abused donkey Balthazar, a Red Army Faction member’s correspondence with an Argentine pianist, and a composer trying to mount an opera at the Teatro Colón. Winner of Best Argentine Film at last year’s BAFICI, The Little Match Girl is infused with emotion, and never devolves into the obscure or didactic, despite its many literary and cinematic references. Featuring exquisite cinematography from Inés Duacastella, this spectacular work is not to be missed. Friday, March 2, 9:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1518214962267-KBKNWHLA8EVA6YIDRVZN/Fuera-de-campo-1600x900-c-default.jpg Neighboring Scenes 2018 FUERA DE CAMPO (Marcelo Guzmán and Mauricio Durán, Bolivia, 2017, 60 min. In Spanish, Aymara with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Buy Tickets On November 2, 1972, 67 Bolivian political prisoners executed a daring escape from a makeshift jail in the middle of Lake Titicaca during a soccer game; the prisoners then sought asylum in Peru. Their stand against the brutality of Hugo Banzer’s dictatorship was a watershed moment, but interviews with locals who were forced to assist the dissidents reveal the cruel and complicated legacy of this “heroic” tale. The directors of this film admit their inability (personal and creative) to fully deal with history and memory, relying on a series of narrative devices, sometimes controversial, but always cinematic, to tell the story. Screening with LAS NUBES (Juan Pablo González, 2018, Mexico/USA, 20 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. New York premiere). Affected by violence and broken family relationships, a man goes on a journey through memory and time.

In Spanish with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Q&A with Chris Gude Buy Tickets In this experimental road movie, director Chris Gude (Mambo Cool) follows two smugglers attempting to cross into Colombia from Venezuela. As the men drive across the sun-soaked terrain of the Guajira Peninsula, occasionally stopping off to wander or play pool in the lonely ruins of abandoned buildings, their journey comes to symbolize a search for an idealized land. Gesturing toward Colombia’s colonial legacy (such as when the pair listen to a Hugo Chávez radio broadcast about Simón Bolívar), this beautifully photographed film gives the viewer ample room to ponder questions of space and identity. Screening with THE MOUTH (La bouche, Camilo Restrepo, France, 2017, 19 min. In Susu with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Following his 2016 film Cilaos, Colombian director Camilo Restrepo again experiments with the musical genre in a film that uses radical aesthetics as a means of standing up to social injustice.

In Portuguese, English, and French with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Q&A with Fellipe Barbosa Buy Tickets Winner of two prizes at Cannes’ Critics’ Week in 2017, Fellipe Barbosa’s follow-up to his acclaimed debut, Casa Grande, follows Gabriel Buchmann (Joao Pedro Zappa) as he travels the world for one year before entering a prestigious American university. After ten months on the road, he arrives in Kenya determined to discover the African continent. Everything changes, however, when he reaches the top of Mount Mulanje, Malawi. The film is based on the true story of Barbosa’s friend from school.

In Spanish and Mapuche with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Q&A with Niles Atallah Buy Tickets Recipient of the Special Jury Prize at Rotterdam, Rey tells the curious story of Orélie-Antoine de Tounens, a French lawyer who attempted to create an independent state for the indigenous peoples of Araucanía (part of present-day Chile) and Patagonia (Argentina) in 1860 and claimed he was its king. Honoring the ambiguous nature of Tounens’s life—it’s unclear if he was a spy, a huckster, an above-average colonial exploiter, or actually summoned by a Mapuche deity—Rey uses a variety of formal techniques and visual styles, including papier-mâché masks, battered 16mm stock, and educational film aesthetics. Saturday, March 3, 9pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1518216394651-SL4RTJKHS8OD6CBVX251/image-asset.jpeg Neighboring Scenes 2018 PIZZA, BEER, AND CIGARRETTES (Pizza, birra, faso, Bruno Stagnaro & Adrián Caetano, Argentina, 1998, 80 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. Restoration International Premiere) 20th Anniversary Screening—New restoration! Buy Tickets Bruno Stagnaro and Adrián Caetano’s milestone debut feature heralded the deeply influential New Argentine Cinema, fostered the careers of a vast generation of international filmmakers, and fueled the Latin American cinema renaissance of the past two decades. Rarely seen in the United States, Pizza, Beer, and Cigarettes is set in the Buenos Aires criminal underworld, and follows two impoverished teens who graduate from petty theft to armed robbery, though they’re incompetent at both. This restoration, by the Action Program to rescue the Argentine cinema, a joint initiative between CINAIN (Cinematheque and National Image Archive of Argentina) and the DAC (Argentine Cinematographic Directors), was carried out in 4K from the original negative in the framework of the Plan Recuperar DAC / Gótika, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, under the supervision of Bruno Stagnaro, Adrián Caetano and cinematographer Marcelo Lavintman.

In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Q&A with actress/producer Adriana Álvarez Buy Tickets The sixth film by Mexican-Guatemalan filmmaker Julio Hernández Cordón (I Promise You Anarchy, ND/NF 2016), and his first shot in Costa Rica, is a rakish slacker movie that follows rebellious girls Sole (Adriana Alvarez) and Ana (Natalia Arias). While biking around San José, and planning to create a vintage cab company, they find something inside the trunk of a car that they’d rather forget. Lightning Falls Behind, featuring playful and fluid camerawork, is a prime example of the kind of recent Central American cinema that has delighted viewers on the international film circuit.

In Spanish with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Buy Tickets This lyrical and immersive documentary, reminiscent of films by Peter Hutton and Kazuhiro Soda, follows the rhythms of Mexican fishermen in extreme, minute detail. Fish are glimpsed underneath the water and gasping on the deck of a ship; men hoist their nets and sails. Interspersed with these quotidian images are snippets of text and poetry, juxtaposed against a black background. Screening with AMUNDSEN'S DOGS (Los perros de Amundsen, Rafael Ramírez, Cuba 2017, 27 min.

U.S. Premiere) Buy Tickets Sharing the same title as his 2017 installation from the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s rooftop, acclaimed Argentine visual artist Adrián Villar Rojas's The Theater of Disappearance is a hypnotic triptych portraying the current state of latent war on different continents. Using disparate styles and sensual, sometimes randomly connected imagery, Villar Rojas searches for beauty through a wordless portrait of a Moroccan pottery workshop, an almost surreal study of the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea, and a camera tour of different locations around the world.

In Portuguese and English with English subtitles) Academy Award nominated filmmaker Bruno Barreto returns with a sophisticated tale of an unlikely romance between two extraordinary artists, set against the backdrop of political upheaval and a clash of cultures. Grappling with writer’s block, legendary American poet Elizabeth Bishop (Miranda Otto) travels from New York City to Rio de Janeiro in the 1950s to visit her college friend, Mary (Tracy Middendorf). Hoping to find inspiration on Mary’s sprawling estate, Elizabeth winds up with much more—a tempestuous relationship with Mary’s bohemian partner, architect Lota de Macedo Soares (Glória Pires), that rocks the staid writer to her foundation. Alcoholism, geographical distance and a military coup come between the lovers, but their intimate connection spans decades and forever impacts the life and work of these two extraordinary artists. The attraction of two polar-opposite women has rarely been so volatile and so erotically charged on the big screen.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Vinicius de Moraes (1913-1980) was a cultural force—the sublime poet of the quotidien, author of over 400 poems and 400 song lyrics—and a man who married nine times. He co-wrote The Girl from Ipanema and many other samba and bossa-nova standards. His play Orfeu da Conceição was adapted into the Oscar-winning 1958 film Black Orpheus, for which he also co-wrote several classic songs. To celebrate the life and work of a multifaceted creator—playwright, poet, partner of the most important names of MPB and, above all, an enlightened personage of the country's cultural history—director Miguel Faria Jr. has brought together an incomparable cast of partners, interpreters, friends and rare archival images to reconstruct Vinicius' genial simplicity with the spontaneity, humor, and freedom of friends conversing in a bar.

In French, Portuguese, and English with English subtitles) A blow dart-wielding thug snatches a rare statuette from the Musée de l’Homme; anthropologist Jean Servais (Rififi) is kidnapped in broad Parisian daylight; serviceman Jean-Paul Belmondo begins his 8-day leave by changing to civvies in a Métro entrance and witnesses fiancée Françoise Dorléac (Catherine Deneuve’s sister, killed in a car accident 3 years later) getting kidnapped herself–and then the chase begins: by motorcycle, shoe leather, flight to Rio de Janeiro sans ticket or passport, airport baggage carrier, cable car, pink car complete with green stars and a rumble seat, water skies, Amazon river boat, seaplane, jungle vine… all shot in breathtaking widescreen and color. Even as Dorléac, rescued, is kidnapped again, Belmondo performs his own blood-curdling stunts against that sugar loaf Rio skyline and across that under-construction unearthly architecture of Brasilia (even parachuting almost into the jaws of a hungry croc).

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Even the most loyal admirer of Antonio Carlos “Tom” Jobim, the most internationally-recognized Brazilian artist and the person most responsible for turning bossa nova into a global sensation, cannot imagine the surprises they will encounter in this film. In this extraordinarily personal documentary directed by his wife Ana Lontra Jobim, Jobim speaks about his love for the nature of the Mata Atlantica and its influence on his music. In fact, his Rio home, the title of this film, is built on the edge of Rio’s Botanic Gardens which rise up the slopes of Corcovado. Shot in New York, Rio, and the family ranch in Poço Fundo, and incorporating previously unreleased material, the film shows intimate family moments, the birth of famous songs, parties at home with other musicians, and even Jobim in pajamas leading an “expedition” in the woods.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Templo Verde (Green Temple) has at its center a very special garden where thousands of plant species are sheltered, some endangered. Featuring the participation of landscape artist Cecilia Beatriz da Veiga Soares, biologists Gustavo Martinelli and Henrique Rajão, and nature photographer João Quental, the documentary guides us through the diversity and exuberance of the flora and fauna of Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Botanical Garden. The Garden is located between the Floresta da Tijuca (Tijuca Forest) and urban Rio de Janeiro, consequently provoking reflection on the fate of a rainforest surrounded by city, the risks and challenges for its conservation, and the need for public awareness in order to preserve what remains of the native flora and fauna of Rio's Mata Atlantica.

Drawing on her diaries, interviews, and narratives, the film reveals a tireless advocate for the preservation of Brazilian rainforests and an artist not afraid to command her craft in defense of environmental conservation.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Amazonia: The Awakening of Florestania is a documentary that discusses the ways in which the Amazon rainforest, and nature itself, has been treated in Brazil since the turn of the 20th century. Bringing together testimonies from many different sectors of Brazilian society, including those of indigenous leaders, environmentalists, representatives of the third sector, journalists, artists, intellectuals and many more, Amazonia: The Awakening of Florestania tracks the ideologies of those who have been fighting to preserve one of Brazil’s most precious legacies. The film leads to the rise of the concept of “Florestania," or “forestship” - a word that synthesizes concepts of citizenship and forest rights to speak to something that may be, in many ways, the genetic code of humanity. Screening with GIANTS NY NATURE ITSELF (Gigantes pela própia natureza, Rogo de Castro and João Unzer, Brazil, 2019, 3 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) The ‘Xingu Women's Movement’ is one the most relevant and organized feminist groups within Brazil’s indigenous community today. Based in the Parque Indígena do Xingu (Xingo National Park) the group aims to fight for the emancipation of all indigenous women and for greater participation in local and national politics. Produced by Carol Gavazzi and Watatakalu Yawalapiti and directed by Rogo de Castro and João Unzer, the short film and manifesto Gigantes pela própria natureza is a true call to mobilization and justice that shows how important these women are for the protection of the forest they live in. Shot in April 2019 and released during the largest indigenous protest in Brazil’s Federal District that same month, Gigantes pela própria natureza is an invitation for everyone to join forces with them, to make their voices louder and their message heard.

In Spanish with English subtitles) New York Premiere Taking the annual celebration of the Virgin of Copacabana in a Bolivian neighborhood in Buenos Aires as its point of departure, Rejtman's first incursion into nonfiction filmmaking is a sober, meticulous portrait of Argentina's Bolivian community. Featuring minutely detailed mise-en-scène and minimal dialogue, Rejtman's work is playfully structured in reverse, as the film begins with the festivities, follows with the rehearsals, and ends with the immigrants' original journey from Bolivia. ELEMENTARY TRAINING FOR ACTORS / ENTRENAMIENTO ELEMENTAL PARA ACTORES (Martín Rejtman, Federico León, Argentina, 2009, 52 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) New York Premiere Rejtman, a longtime Cinema Tropical favorite (the organization released his films Silvia Prieto and The Magic Gloves), is often referred to as the father of New Argentinean Cinema. In this sharp, witty featurette about a theater workshop for children lead by a fervent professor, Rejtman remains true to the deadpan minimalist humor that distinguishes his earlier work.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Aïnouz, one of the filmmakers at the forefront of contemporary Brazilian cinema, follows his internationally successful debut Madame Satã with a very different portrait of an indomitable survivor. Returning to her hometown in poverty-stricken northeastern Brazil, Hermila (Guedes) awaits the arrival of her boyfriend, but her spunk and zest for life take on an increasingly desperate edge when it becomes clear that he will not be coming. The director's major achievement is making the soulful decency of the townspeople and the rich colors of the empty landscape an integral part of the characterization of Hermila, who remains likeable despite even her most desperately miscalculated actions. With Hermila Guedes, Maria Menezes, Georgina Castro.

(A cidade é uma só?, Adirley Queirós, Brazil, 2011, 79 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles. New York Premiere) The fascinating debut feature from Adirley Queirós (director of White Out, Black In and Once There Was Brasília) is a fiction/documentary hybrid focusing on a satellite city of Brasilia called Ceilândia. This administrative region—its name derived from the acronym CEI (Invasion Eradication Campaign)—was created in the 1970s to remove and relocate the low-income neighborhoods encroaching on the capital. Half a century after the construction of Brasilia, Is the City Only One? reflects on the spatial and social exclusions that have defined the relationship between the federal district, its surroundings, and the people who built the city from nothing.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Q&A with Gabriel Mascaro Brazil, 2027. Joana is a civil servant in a notary’s office who mainly deals in divorce cases. Part of an Evangelical Christian group known as Divino Amor, she uses her position to offer a kind of physical therapy to couples seeking separation. At the same time, Joana is unable to conceive a child, despite constant prayers and many other attempted methods of assistance. A miracle finally happens, however, bringing her closer to God. The third feature from director and visual artist Gabriel Mascaro, Divine Love is a fluorescent work of sci-fi that meditates on jealousy, faith, and the fear of divine power. An Outsider Pictures release.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) The third collaboration between brothers Ricardo and Luiz Pretti (While We Are Here) and cousins Pedro Diogenes and Guto Parente (The Cannibals Club) is a singular take on counterculture in the northeast of Brazil. In the city of Fortaleza, Eugenio, Joaquim, and João use clandestine radio transmissions to communicate their hunger for freedom and revolution, hacking traditional stations with poetry, rebellious music, quotes, and provocations, targeting the bourgeois society of their hometown. One day, however, a mysterious listener (Neon Bull‘s Samya De Lavor) appears in their lives, transforming their destinies.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) A man is kidnapped and brought to an island that is impossible to leave for those who are born there. Emerson, the young kidnapper, is one of those island people, and he has a passionate wish: to make a film about his own life. His radical solution to help achieve this leads to a film about both himself and his hostage, who reenact their lives. When real life beyond the camera increasingly shapes the narrative of the film, things start to get out of hand. The multilayered Island evolves from a playful game of metacinema to an allegorical tale of Brazil’s untold stories.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Middle-aged Marcelo has a memory like no other. Monologuing between coffee and hookups, he holds court on a wide variety of topics: his lovers, his HIV status, his chronic headaches, his Catholic grandmother, his homophobic father, and his unusual sexual fantasies. At times, he takes himself for Genghis Khan, poet-philosopher Novalis, or a French courtesan; at others, he talks about Bataille or the Saint whose name he has forgotten. From Gustavo Vinagre (I Remember the Crows; Nova Dubai) and Rodrigo Carneiro, The Blue Rose of Novalis is a documentary-style portrait of a singular man that blurs the line between the “real” and the staged. Screening with NOIRBLUE: DISPLACEMENTS OF A DANCE (Ana Pi, Brazil/France, 2018, 27 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Dancer and multimedia artist Ana Pi reconnects with her African ancestry through choreographic gestures, engaging in a space-time experiment that combines traditional and contemporary movements. In this dance of fertility and healing, new forms of movement evoke belonging, resistance, and freedom.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Q&A with Gabriel Martins & Maurilio Martins A sprawling feature by Gabriel and Maurílio Martins, In the Heart of the World offers a vivid depiction of a close-knit community in the city of Contagem, where the filmmakers are from. In this multi-character ensemble, the inhabitants of a poor neighborhood yearn for a better life: some get involved in crime, others just try and get by. Using a mix of professional and amateur actors, the directors create a kaleidoscopic, inventively photographed portrait of struggle, hope, and faith.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Ruiz (Romulo Braga) and L. (Clara Choveaux) are members of a suicidal, nihilistic group that operates underground in a city consumed by chaos and violence. L. believes that destruction can help them navigate the ruins, while Ruiz’s passionate love for L. is the only thing that keeps him alive. The third feature by filmmaker, critic, and visual artist Tiago Mata Machado, The Sleepwalkers is fragmented post-apocalyptic portrait set in a dystopian present where art and politics have reached a point of no return. Sunday, December 8, 4:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1574135361007-WSXXPH5C32XDHCMA0JOZ/7AEM_STILL2_72.jpg Veredas: A Generation of Brazilian Filmmakers SEVEN YEARS IN MAY (Sete anos em maio, Affonso Uchôa, Brazil, 2019, 42 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Seven years ago, one night in May, Rafael came home from work to find that people he did not know had come looking for him. He fled without looking back—from that moment on living as though that night never ended. One evening, around a campfire near a factory, Rafael recounts his story to a stranger who had a similar experience. Rafael’s personal story thus becomes part of the collective testimony of a nation oppressed by poverty, police repression, and institutional corruption. Reflecting the storytelling and style of his previous film Araby, Affonso Uchôa’s Seven Years in May is a poetic and political fable structured around the often unheard words of Brazil’s working class. Screening with AVA YVY VERA: THE LAND OF THE LIGHTNING PEOPLE (Ava Yvy Vera: A terra do povo do raio, Genito Gomes, Valmir Gonçalves Cabreira, Jhonn Nara Gomes, Jhonaton Gomes, Edina Ximenes, Dulcídio Gomes, Sarah Brites, and Joilson Brites, Brazil, 2017, 52 min. In Guarani with English subtitles) Ava Yvy Vera is the first film made by a group of indigenous filmmakers of the Kaiowa-Guarani community in Mato Grosso do Sul. The film combines documentation, reenactment, and storytelling to recall the murder of chief Nisio Gomes. In 2011, he was killed by a group of heavily armed men hired by farmers wanting to evict the Kaiowa-Guarani community from their ancestral land.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) This sly and sinister comedy-horror-musical marked Good Manners director Juliana Rojas as a filmmaker to watch. Deodato works for his uncle as an apprentice gravedigger at a cemetery in São Paulo, a job that takes an emotional toll on him. Deodato’s routine changes when an officer from the city’s funerary bureau arrives at the cemetery. To maximize profits, they must remove human remains from certain graves in order to put them back on the market. But in carrying out this directive strange events make them think twice about tampering with the dead. Screening with SWINGUERRA (Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Burca, Brazil, 2019, 23 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) In a school’s gym, dancers rehearse under the watchful eye of a choreographer. Tensions grow as they’re also observed by a rival troupe. Swinguerra is the latest work from multimedia artists Bárbara Wagner and Benjamin de Burca, which made its single-channel debut at Locarno after screening as a dual-channel installation at the Venice Biennial. As with their previous works, the film uses music to create a sort of collaborative ethnography, tracing a cultural map of Brazil on the dance floor.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Marcelo is a cowboy in the Brazilian pampa. His loves his simple life and the land that feeds him. One night a hundred of his employer’s cattle are stolen at gunpoint while he’s in charge. After this, nothing is the same for Marcelo, who gives up his job. Luckily, his friends and passion guide him to a new profession: rodeo master of ceremonies. The latest work by Helvécio Marins (Swirl) pays homage not only to cowboy culture but also to the solidarity of Brazil’s rural community.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) In this subversive, psychedelic road movie through a tropical dystopian dictatorship, an eccentric band of outsiders try to offer resistance in a Brazil controlled by a military junta and inhabited by corrupt priests foretelling the apocalypse. Their first plan is to trek through the country’s interior to deliver weapons to a group of militant nuns who live off the proceeds of their cannabis farm—a journey that becomes ever more dangerous. Sol Alegria turns a queer gaze to the legacies of Brazilian counterculture—from the novel Macunaíma to Tropicália music—as enduring testimonies of freedom and joy.

In Portuguese and Greek with English subtitles. Q&A with Karim Aïnouz The winner of the Un Certain Regard award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and Brazil’s submission for this year’s Oscars, Invisible Life is a tropical melodrama by Karim Aïnouz (Madame Satã). Living in Rio de Janeiro in the 1940s, inseparable sisters Guida and Euridice Gusmão are, like all women of their generation, raised to be essentially invisible in the eyes of Brazilian society. Each of the girls has her own special dream, however, and neither can imagine life without the other. Yet one day they’ll have to go their separate ways. Aïnouz’s acclaimed film is based on the novel by Martha Batalha. An Amazon Studios release.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Q&A with Caetano Gotardo In Caetano Gotardo’s follow-up to The Moving Creatures, João, a middle-class filmmaker living and working in São Paulo, has extensive conversations with friends and strangers, including best friend Irene, who cannot let go of memories of her ex, or a young man he tries to pick up on the metro. Piece by piece, João’s encounters, discussions, and monologues increasingly inspire him, and he begins to reconsider his attitude toward the world around him. In addition to life and love, the creative process emerges as a recurring theme, recalling the films of Éric Rohmer and Hong Sang-soo.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) A man and a woman who might be lovers—and perhaps artists, actors, or script writers—surrender themselves to a strange role-playing game that follows the logic of a dream. In absurdist, symbolism-drenched fantasy scenarios, a psychic domain where even a model train set can acquire unexpected significance, they realize their secret, often erotically charged desires. Life and art, light and dark, despair and desire, poetry and pathos, tenderness and conflict freely intermingle, gradually revealing Bedouin as an elegant and surrealist mosaic from cinema marginal master Júlio Bressane.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) The class struggle permeates every time period, and in each political and social era it is reconfigured in new ways—though never not cruelly. This reality is at the root of All of the Dead Ones, which had its world premiere in the official competition of the 2020 Berlinale. In this impressive film, Marco Dutra (Good Manners) and Caetano Gotardo (The Moving Creatures) join creative forces to offer a strong female-driven historical drama, which unfolds at the edges of the stories of two clans: a white aristocratic family and a formerly enslaved Black family. The film makes clear how the abolition of slavery has not meant the destruction of racism and social discrimination. The past never ends—it always catches up to us, no matter where we are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615648563092-QSWDKW4WFGPTZV4FYPWH/Unknown.jpg Neighboring Scenes 2021 Cinema Tropical 20th Anniversary screening: SILVIA PRIETO A film by Martín Rejtman (Argentina, 1999, 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Silvia Prieto sells soap to passersby in busy city squares, pores over phone books to find women who share her name, and refuses to settle down with either of the two boyish men in her orbit. Rejtman’s radiant second feature, which follows Silvia (played by the singer Rosario Bléfari) for a short stretch of her life in Buenos Aires, is a comedy of details—like the statue that supposedly resembles Silvia and passes from owner to owner; the blazer Silvia permanently borrows from a wealthy male admirer; the chicken she buys every night—and occasional, quiet epiphanies. Silvia Prieto is one of the jewels of recent Argentine cinema, and one of Rejtman’s most perfectly realized films. 20th anniversary restoration undertaken by Museo del Cine in collaboration with EYE Filmmuseum. Restored by Museo del Cine de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires and Constanza Sanz Palacios, in collaboration with Eye Institute Amsterdam, and supported by Mecenazgo de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615644170473-GBN43M6FP4JRIBOPJDPO/1324705_oneinathousand_121915.jpg Neighboring Scenes 2021 ONE IN A THOUSAND / LAS MIL Y UNA A film by Clarisa Navas (Argentina/Germany, 2020, 120 min. In Spanish with with English subtitles) Winner of the Best Picture Award at the 2020 Jeonju International Film Festival, Clarisa Navas’s potent queer drama is set in a housing project in the northeastern Argentine city of Corrientes. The film follows Iris, a basketball-loving 17-year-old teenager who falls for Renata, a woman who is a few years older than her and has a mysterious past. Iris slowly realizes that she will have to overcome her fears and struggle with her insecurities in order to experience first love. One in a Thousand is a story of tenderness in a hostile environment, where desire takes many forms in the darkness and gossip can turn into a weapon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615645056686-AA20B6S5QHJ3ZAQY95TZ/los_fantasmas_02.jpg Neighboring Scenes 2021 LOS FANTASMAS A film by Sebastián Lojo (Guatemala/Argentina, 2020, 75 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) The auspicious debut feature by Guatemalan director Sebastián Lojo is a vigorous character study that follows Koki, a young, attractive, and charismatic man who makes a living in Guatemala City as a thief by proxy. During the day he works as a tourist guide, and at night he seduces men in bars, leading them to a hotel where they are robbed by the owner, Carlos. When the tables are turned and Koki is betrayed by Carlos, he finds himself pushed even further into society’s margins, forced to witness the violent effects of his actions from an almost disembodied perspective. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615645978401-8P6HKZ4OCCP25S8UON7A/Panquiaco_Still_011.jpg Neighboring Scenes 2021 PANQUIACO A film by Ana Elena Tejera (Panama, 2020, 80 min. In Portuguese and Dulegaya with English subtitles) Returning from Portugal to Panama, the land that brims with promise, Cebaldo revisits his hometown with the familiar eyes of someone who grew up there but also the alienation of someone who left. Ana Elena Tejera’s poetic debut feature moves freely between fiction and documentary, as a story about myths, rituals, memory, and identity unfolds. A record of the history of Panama and the encounters and disagreements between the protagonist’s past and present show us that the most painful exile is the exile from whom we once were—and the things that made us what we now are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615646105314-LTUDI4SINVMAZJ64K1FP/samichay-movie-01-1920.jpg Neighboring Scenes 2021 SAMICHAY: IN SEARCH OF HAPPINESS / SAMICHAY: EN BUSCA DE LA FELICIDAD A film by Mauricio Franco Tosso (Peru/Spain, 2020, 87 min. In Quechua and Spanish with English subtitles) Samichay, which means “in search of happiness” in Quechua, is the aptly named cow in this debut feature by Mauricio Franco Tosso. High up in the Andes mountains, in a landscape both hostile and profoundly beautiful, a beleaguered family tries to scrape by. Shot in striking black and white, the film presents a moving story that puts at stake the viability of certain traditional lifestyles in rural and urban environments. At the heart of the film is the indigenous protagonist Celestino’s tender and heartbreaking relationship with Samichay, who is his only source of income and hope for a better future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615647312038-2UJMV9QU0R6Y12GG3UQ2/between-dog-and-wolf.jpg Neighboring Scenes 2021 BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF / ENTRE PERRO Y LOBO A film by Irene Gutiérrez (Cuba/Spain/Colombia, 2020, 75 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Even though its frame of reference is the Angolan Civil War, Irene Gutiérrez’s film is not a story of battle but of abiding faith. As it meticulously revisits the experiences of Estebita, Miguel, and Alberto, three former Cuban soldiers who fought in Africa, that faith in certain ideals that have endured across decades and in spite of reality comes under examination. Premiered at the Forum section of the 2020 Berlinale, this second film from Gutiérrez (Hotel Nueva Isla) depicts the three veterans re-enacting war games and playing out the theatricality of past glories in the jungles of Cuba’s Sierra Maestra. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615647819138-FLBVFSA2FD8FYPAP9RMO/CHACO%2B-%2BMurillo%2BCine_24.jpg Neighboring Scenes 2021 CHACO A film by Diego Mondaca (Bolivia/Argentina, 2020, 77 min. In Aymara, Quechua, and Spanish with English subtitles) Set in 1934, during the Chaco War fought between Bolivia and Paraguay over territorial disputes, this spare historical drama follows a small regiment made up mostly of Aymara and Quechua indigenous soldiers commanded by a retired, gruff German officer fighting for the Bolivian Army. The troop is in a limbo, looking fruitlessly for the enemy, and wandering through the hostile, semi-arid lowlands in extreme weather. Inspired by the experiences of his grandfather, director Diego Mondaca’s debut feature is a powerful meditation on the futility and absurdity of war. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615648058634-SE5KWDEHRR3DDSSY7N78/VN_Nightshot.jpg Neighboring Scenes 2021 NIGHT SHOT / VISIÓN NOCTURNA A film by Carolina Moscoso (Chile, 2020, 80 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Stories about acts of extreme violence often end up fixated on the perpetrators. Not so with Night Vision. Provoking the viewer with a sustained and risky aesthetic, Carolina Moscoso takes on highly personal material, showing the universe of complicities and contradictions that swirl around the difficult topic of rape. In Night Shot—winner of the Grand Prix at last year’s FIDMarseille and the Cinema Tropical Award for Best First Film—the transitions of light and chiaroscuro accompany the courage, honesty, and even delicacy with which a harrowing event is excavated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615648260024-D5VEWJHGFVWXTJRG9KJD/se_escuchan_aullidos.jpg Neighboring Scenes 2021 THE HOWLS / SE ESCUCHAN AULLIDOS A film by Julio Hernández Cordón (Mexico, 2020, 68 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Julio Hernández Cordón (Buy Me a Gun, I Promise You Anarchy), one of the most original and prolific directors of his generation, returns in his latest film to Texcoco, the town on the outskirts of Mexico City where he grew up, and recently the site of a canceled new international airport. Accompanied by his teenage daughter, Fabiana, and the actor Francisco Barreiro—who plays nine different characters—the director creates a whimsical, subversive, and genre-bending family portrait in which father and daughter tour the playground of his childhood while in search of a vanished lake, Aztec rulers, and werewolves. https://www.cinematropical.com/daily-recommendations daily 0.75 2021-06-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1609024495494-X3UW1SWY1CUO022N9BLA/linafromlima_0HERO.jpg Daily Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1623412838508-GHUJPWP5Z4EYV8JE30VG/Screen-Shot-2016-09-20-at-11.45.34-AM.png Daily Recommendations - Make it stand out LOS SURES A film by Diego Echeverría (USA, 1984, 66 min.

In Spanish and Swedish with English and Spanish subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime “Fusing elements of Edgar Allan Poe’s titular short story and Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Alejo Moguillansky and Fia-Stina Sandlund’s meta-film follows an Argentine-Swedish co-production in Buenos Aires shooting a biopic of the 19th-century realist author and proto-feminist Victoria Benedictsson. After a hustling actor finds a treasure map detailing the location of ancient gold hidden near a town in the Misiones province named after the 19th-century politician Leandro N. Alem, he successfully persuades the producers to reframe the project as a portrait of the radical Alem (swapping feminist politics for anti-Eurocentric ones) and move the production there—so he can better search for the treasure. Fast-paced and hilariously self-reflexive, the film takes a playful approach to texts and history that is reminiscent of Borges.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1622818164754-TCU7OH3NHK99EFR94858/CMDLG_II_STILL_2.jpg Daily Recommendations - Make it stand out THIS IS THE WAY I LIKE IT II / COMO ME DA LA GANA II (Ignacio Agüero, Chile, 2016, 87 min.

(The resulting 30-minute short, Como me da la gana, was, unsurprisingly, censored.) Thirty years later, Agüero revisits the concept, but he dramatically complicates it, by both rephrasing his line of questioning and repeatedly interrupting these recorded scenes with clips from his family’s home movies and his own films, interviews with random people, and landscape shots.

The impossibility of a definitive answer to these kinds of questions lies at the heart of Benjamín Naishtat’s unsettling feature debut. Set in an economically destabilized Argentina, the film weaves stories of characters from multiple social strata into an interlocking narrative of paranoia and fear.

Early in the film, Guzmán notes that, despite the fact that Chile has nearly 4,000 kilometres of coastline, Chileans have very little relationship with the Pacific Ocean. Yet at one time, the nomadic Kaweskar (or "Water People") paddled up and down the length of the immense Chilean coast, living in harmony with the ocean that was their life and their livelihood. Now, in the aftermath of the colonial era, there are very few survivors left to tell the story of this once-thriving people. Through interviews with some of the last remaining Kaweskar, Guzmán chronicles the terrible devastation wrought by this almost complete genocide. Not only denouncing his country's colonial past, Guzmán underlines how brutality is a recurring theme in human history, and wonders if there could ever be a reality where the Water People could exist without interference. Combining profound metaphysical speculation with an affecting, intimate approach, The Pearl Button asserts the importance of memory in a world very quick to forget.” —Toronto International Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1620823197540-6R8HCCRBXQ1SQRQRRHKB/XINGU2.jpg Daily Recommendations - Make it stand out XINGU A film by Cao Hamburger (Brazil, 2012, 116 min.

During their exploration of central Brazil in 1943, Orlando, Claudio and Leonardo Villas-Bôas encounter the Xingu indigenous people. Passionately interested by what they discover about the customs and social systems of the cultures they discover, the brothers make a home among them. When half of a village dies of an influenza epidemic, the brothers devote their lives to protecting the Xingu peoples, preserving Xingu culture and to the creation of a Xingu National Park. By retelling the brothers’ saga, Xingu reveals the struggle to create the Indian park and consequent preservation of an array of different Indian tribes, transforming the Villas-Boas into Brazilian heroes and giving rise to dialogues revolving around chronic problems in Brazil’s history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1620524212128-7DFKCARSXEV6LBD968R6/the_tenth_man-1024x577.jpg Daily Recommendations THE TENTH MAN / EL REY DE ONCE A film by Daniel Burman (Argentina, 2016, 82 min, In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Vudu, YouTube, Google Play, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, iTunes, Netflix “After many years away, Ariel (Alan Sabbagh) is summoned by his distant father to his childhood home in the bustling Jewish quarter of Buenos Aires, known as El Once. Over the course of seven days, during the vibrant holiday of Purim, Ariel seeks to reconnect with his father, who runs a Jewish charity and is regarded as a big macher in the close-knit community, but was frequently absent due to his obligation to fulfill the Jewish quorum of having 10 men present at all funerals. It’s from this theological conundrum that the film derives not just its English title but also its momentum as Ariel grapples with his religious upbringing and the ways it informed his relationship with his father. Director Daniel Burman (All In, TFF 2012) returns to Tribeca with The Tenth Man, continuing to wrestle with notions of identity, home and the intricacies of the father-son relationship. This well-observed comedy is at once a heartfelt valentine to the El Once district, Burman’s own Jewish upbringing and his continuing desire to use cinema as a means of self-exploration.” —Tribeca Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1620524349550-R77RP9X2PKEQUPV4LB7M/pachamama.jpg Daily Recommendations PACHAMAMA A fillm by Juan Antín (France/Luxembourg/Canada, 2019, 79 min. Dubbed in English) Now streaming on Netflix “That the Latin American animation industry is becoming a force is a fact. But, more important, Latin American animation has understood—as a movement, as a revolution, as a reality—that there's no need to go face-to-face against mainstream, globally released animation from the big studios. This used to be the industry's temple of doom: trying to imitate his Goliath with fewer tools, less money, and a smaller marketing budget. Pachamama (like Uruguay's Anina and Chile's Historia De Un Oso) understands that identity is the ace under the poncho: the more personality you give your hand-crafted, years-in-the-making movie, the more distinctive it becomes. In Pachamama, the Andes are the perfect setting in which this children's adventure evokes the journey-of-the-hero archetype. And every inch of Juan Antin's movie feels personal, ready to conjure a sense of magic that comes only from that region, its culture, its sounds, and its colors—rearranged into a powerful visual tale. Antin is ready to use his icons as perfect, heartfelt, bigger than life, and powerful toys, while managing to be smart enough to show the Spanish Conquest from another point of view—and still believing, above all, in magic.” —Seattle International Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1620225694036-B5UERJELSRNB2KEOI41Z/Holiday2-1600x900-c-default.jpg Daily Recommendations FERIADO / HOLIDAY A film by Diego Araujo (Ecuador/Argentina, 2013, 82 min.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime, YouTube, Google Play, and Apple TV “On October 1988, 14 men were murdered by the Venezuelan military in El Amparo, a village near the Arauca River. The victims were fishermen, but the military claimed they were guerilla fighters. This painful atrocity and its tumultuous aftermath are the subject of Rober Calzadilla’s haunting first feature. Based on a play by Calzadilla and scriptwriter Karin Valecillos, El Amparo invests much time in its characters, their relationships and way of life, while, in a masterstroke of directorial judiciousness, the massacre itself is elided, its horrors left to our imagination. This is a profound meditation on how communities contend with outrage and grief, and the troubling question of who gets to control historical truth.” —Human Rights Watch Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1618501718481-5I6ZGF7WDHPKWK0S6KFF/tumblr_ou8k8uulQV1wxr6bjo1_1280.jpg Daily Recommendations THE CRIME OF FATHER AMARO / EL CRIMEN DEL PADRE AMARO A film by Carlos Carrera (Mexico, 2002, 103 min.

He finds out that Benito has a lover, the pub owner Sanjuanera, and that he’s accepting contributions to build a hospital from a local drug boss who is thereby laundering money. Amaro too betrays his mission by falling in love with Sanjuanera’s young and devout daughter Amelia. The girl’s jealous fiancé Rubén decides to expose the corrupt priests publicly, but the bishop hushes up the threatened scandal with Amaro’s help: the latter is now more than happy to ignore the truth if it will help his ambitions. Even his passionate relationship with the now pregnant and unhappy Amelia won’t stand in the way of his career....

In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Sling TV, Amazon Prime, and Pantaya “Acné centers on thirteen-year-old Rafael on the eve of his bar mitzvah in contemporary Montevideo. The American coming-of-age film often centers on tragicomic attempts to lose one’s virginity, but for Rafael, that is easily accomplished by a trip to the brothel. What he finds more complicated is making his peace with a highly imperfect, even corrupt, family, and with an invisible but seemingly undeniable set of constricting expectations about gender and relations between the sexes. That Acne, Veiroj’s feature debut, is also his most conventional film is not so surprising, but it does hint at the limitations of its genre. Where Hollywood places its emphasis on the integration of the adolescent into society, Veiroj suggests a more modern question (“Is it the individual who should change, or society?”) with the lightest of humor and the gentlest of touches.” —Harvard Film Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1618237799629-8EYWAMH7NNGYOH1E0ANQ/Monalisa-1200-600-3.jpg Daily Recommendations THE JOURNEY OF MONALISA / EL VIAJE DE MONALISA A film by Nicole Costa (USA/Chile, 2019, 93 min.

Stimulate the moral.’ Drums beat out a march in steady rhythm. Under their officers' strict gaze, soldiers assemble in the barrack yard. The Argentinian flag is raised; the sound of trumpets accompanying it on its slow ascent up the mast. With clinical precision, Manuel Abramovich portrays a young recruit on his path through military training, his transformation from youth to young adult marked by doubt and conflict. In empathetic distance to its protagonist, the film reveals the tension between the rigidly defined system of the military academy and the vulnerability of the young man.

Alejandra finds her way more easily than Roberto but very soon, she arouses the baser instincts in her classmates. Ashamed and unable to tell her father about the escalating bullying at school, Alejandra’s silence ultimately takes a dreadful toll. An unflinching reflection of upper middle class youth in Mexico by one of the country’s most promising filmmakers, the film has been a box office success since its release. After Lucía’s intense and shocking exploration of the violent effects of bullying are essential viewing for all students.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on DAFilms In the Providencia barrio of Santiago, Chile, a neighbor lives through the demolition of the house next door and the construction of a building in the same place, over a two-year period. Under Construction is about the passing of time and the transformation of a space where minor and major events occur: a death and a birth; neighborhoods disappearing; buildings being demolished and built; winters and springs passing. In the end, when the building is finished, the protagonist looks up at his new neighbors, while they look down at him from their balcony: evidence of a space (and a past) that they now control. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1617401659287-CUL4HXBJM99WOQI0UOCG/1403779104editor_LA_SALADA_01.jpg Daily Recommendations LA SALADA A film by Juan Martín Hsu (Argentina, 2014, 88 min. In Korean, Mandarin, Quechua, and Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Vimeo on Demand “La Salada depicts the experience of new immigrants in Argentina told through three stories that take place in La Salada—the largest informal market in Argentina. A group of characters from different ethnic origins struggle against loneliness and uprooting. For three days each week, from the afternoon to the early hours of the morning, thousands of people flock to the outskirts of Buenos Aires to buy discounted wares at "La Salada," South America's largest informal market. Begun by Bolivian immigrants in 1991, and fuelled by Argentina's financial crisis, the market has become an entire economy unto itself. In his poignant debut, La Salada, director Juan Martin Hsu presents this unique and vibrant locale from the vantage points of new immigrants to Argentina. La Salada depicts its characters' experience as one of heart-rending limbo: they're not at home in Argentina, yet they no longer belong to the countries they were born in. It's a middle ground that the marketplace seems to embody, and in exploring its myriad stalls and spaces, Martin Hsu's gorgeous film captures the singular spirit of a fascinating reality.” —Toronto International Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1617146975503-YZ0228C9OLPC5X96M8DE/Los-Insolitos-OK1.jpg Daily Recommendations THE AMAZING CATFISH / LOS INSÓLITOS PECES GATO A film by Claudia Sainte-Luce (Mexico/France, 2013, 89 min.

When solitary protagonist Claudia (Ximena Ayala) winds up in the hospital with appendicitis, she makes an unexpected connection with a fellow patient, single mother Martha (Lisa Owen). Martha’s four children, who range in age from pre-adolescent to mostly grown, create a rowdy atmosphere in and out of the hospital, starkly contrasting with Claudia’s muted existence. But as their lives become increasingly more entwined, each breaching the defenses of the other, Claudia becomes a quietly integral part of their rough-and-tumble household: part confidante, part caretaker, part cautious changeling. At the core of the film is Martha’s struggle to live each day with intention, even as her illness diminishes her physically, and this infuses her home with ferocious passion. Confidently filmed by Claire Denis’ long-time cinematographer, Agnès Godard, this spare but colorful film—set in Guadalajara and based loosely on true events from Saint-Luce’s own life—embraces the inclination to define a family as the people you choose and are chosen by, not necessarily the ones you’re born to.” —San Francisco International Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1616960705648-2W7GSTXEYLWS70ZGGEMK/the-club-2015-1200-1200-675-675-crop-000000.jpg Daily Recommendations THE CLUB / EL CLUB A film by Pablo Larraín (Chile, 2015, 98 min.

Four aging former priests peacefully live out their days together in a dumpy seaside town, focused on training their racing greyhound rather than doing penance for their assorted crimes. Their idyll is shattered when a fifth priest arrives and, confronted by one of his victims, commits suicide. A young priest begins an investigation into the retirees’ pasts, setting off a series of events that call into question faith, piety, and complicity.

Unfortunately, he was never able to complete the film before his death from cancer in 2015.

The Magic Gloves came out in the wake of Argentina’s devastating financial crisis, and it’s a movie fixated on rotten investments, thin wages, and bad deals. It’s also, despite all that, one of Rejtman’s funniest films, peppered with colorful secondary characters, suffused with a terse, prickly sympathy for its heroes, and alive to the mystery and charm of the modern urban world.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1616553824970-T8U2ONDGNR6ZAURT0XXS/bccf65c47e86f463f1e457446707a4d8.jpg Daily Recommendations MOSQUITA Y MARI A film by Aurora Guerrero (USA, 2012, 86min, in English) Now streaming on Tubi, Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and iTunes An earnest coming of age story about the friendship between two 15-year-old Latinas growing up in the predominantly Mexican neighborhood of Huntington Park, Los Angeles, Mosquita y Mari, explores the growing bond between college-bound Yolanda (Finessa Pineda), and Mari (Venecia Troncoso), a street-savvy, undocumented teen who moves in across the street.

His political and military service connect him to the largest massacre of workers in the country’s history, as well as the military campaign in which Che Guevara was found and killed. Incorporating archival footage from Ovando’s de facto administration, home movies, and interviews with relatives, filmmaker-grandson Mauricio Alfredo Ovando’s debut feature studies the many profiles of his grandfather to juxtapose his family’s fond memories with the harsh official history.

The Venezuelan military and political leader played a critical role in ushering Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Peru, and Ecuador toward autonomy in the wake of Spanish domination. History has long cemented Bolívar's status as a visionary, but even during his lifetime he was commonly known by his people as "The Liberator." Libertador is the title of Alberto Arvelo's enthralling Bolívar biopic, which serves as both an epic of struggle and a cinematic history lesson. Bolívar is vividly embodied by Édgar Ramírez as a fierce, virile warrior with a heart. The Venezuelan actor already proved more than capable of playing a complex historical figure in Olivier Assayas's Carlos, and Libertador confirms his status as a rising international star. That it does so by having Ramírez play his home country's national hero makes this career triumph that much richer.” —Toronto International Film Festival THE LIBERATOR / EL LIBERTADOR A film by Alberto Arvelo (Venezuela/Spain, 2014, 114 min.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on iTunes and Amazon Prime “‘You know when the struggles begin, but not when they end.’ When filmmaker Fernanda Restrepo Arizmendi's father said this to her, he was speaking from experience. Every Wednesday, he goes to protest on the square of Ecuador's Presidential Palace. Until her death in a car accident, Fernanda's mother wrote letter after letter to the president. In 1988, when Fernanda was just 10 years, old, her brothers Santiago (17) and Andrés (14) mysteriously disappeared. A year later, the family discovered that the police had kidnapped, severely beaten, and then murdered the two boys for no apparent reason at all. The bodies were dumped in the Yambo River, never to be found again. With My Heart in Yambo is Fernanda's heartrending contribution to the processing of a devastating family trauma. In a poetic, contemplative voice-over, she makes a brave attempt to arrange the events in an appropriate manner. In the process, the film becomes a self-investigation: how did her brothers' death determine her own life? But like her parents, the filmmaker is also looking for rehabilitation. For as long as the Ecuadorean authorities shamelessly continue to cover up the case, it will be difficult to lead a normal life - if not altogether impossible.” —International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1616251433258-RCXEF0QDKJZ4LVQFVMIU/v7QQeUPqWzNK1zgdhbiZ13E6yE.jpg Daily Recommendations THE RIVER / EL RÍO A film Juan Pablo Richter (Bolivia/Ecuador, 2018, 92 min.

Sebastián leaves a fraught situation in the city to live with his long-estranged father Raphael, who resides on a ranch adjacent to a jungle-lined river. Sebastián is a scrapper, and Raphael seeks to channel those unruly energies through activities like hunting. But as life in this pastoral setting begins to reveal its true nature, Sebastián finds himself struggling against a current of corruption, humiliation and violence in which women are currency. Eschewing stylistic pyrotechnics in favor of eerily mounting tensions, Richter proves himself a keen observer of toxic masculine codes and the bracing velocity with which innocence can suddenly be washed away.” —Miami Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1616070867127-2X4B2C92TGQF1JYZYDO4/image-asset.jpg Daily Recommendations SUSPENSION / SUSPENSIÓN A film by Simón Uribe Martínez (Colombia, 2020, 75 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on OVID.tv Deep in the misty jungle of southern Colombia, between treacherously steep mountain slopes, stands an unfinished concrete bridge as an absurd symbol of human folly. Once intended as a link in the new “bypass” that was supposed to replace the perilous old road from Pasto to Mocoa, it’s now a bizarre attraction for day trippers taking selfies and kids doing motorcycle stunts. In 1991 a devastating landslide hit the old road, known as the “springboard of death”, killing dozens of people. An engineer in his jeep describes the construction of this lethal road back in the 1940s as sheer madness. After all, Catholic missionaries had already found a better route decades earlier. Local residents view the futuristic design of the new bridge under construction on their laptops. Workers pour concrete in the midst of mud and fast-flowing waters, unaware of the impending doom. It’s as if there’s a conspiracy between nature, politicians and foolish arrogance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1616070982496-1OWVA8JVF07F2BJCAYTL/Terra-em-transe_1920.jpg Daily Recommendations ENTRANCED EARTH / TERRA EM TRANSE A film by Glauber Rocha (Brazil, 1967, 111 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) Now streaming on MUBI “A pivotal film from one of the key figures of Brazil’s Cinema Novo movement, Entranced Earth is an urgent and poetic account of political corruption, the systems that shape it, and the challenges of active citizenship in times of political upheaval. Made three years after the right-wing coup d’etat in Brazil, the film is set in the fictional country of El Dorado, in which a young intellectual attempts to chart a political path. First joining the extreme right, and then a party of the left, he ultimately finds dispiriting power dynamics in each. Told through a mesmeric style, and mixing surrealist and realist aesthetics, Entranced Earth is a resonant work of political cinema that pushes its audience to examine its own role in civil society.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1616071191960-V91GITOEW8N5LCDDHU2F/4449592957aa66e90f210dc8e152ace3.jpg Daily Recommendations LA SIRGA A film by William Vega (Colombia/France/Mexico, 2012, 89 min.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Vimeo on Demand The peninsula of Araya in northeastern Venezuela, is one of the most arid places on earth. For five hundred years, since its discovery by the Spanish, the region’s salt has been exploited manually. A 17th-century fortress built to protect against pirate raids stands as a reminder of the days when salt was worth almost as much as gold and great fortunes were made. Benacerraf captures the life of the salineros and their back-breaking work in breathtaking images. The Peredas family works at night in the salt marshes, the Ortiz are fishermen and the Salaz collect salt. The three stories underline the harsh life of this region — all of which vanished with the arrival of industrial exploitation. Araya was originally compared to Flaherty’s Man of Aran, Visconti’s La Terra Trema (1947) and Rossellini’s India (1957). Margot Benacerraf has described the film as “a cinematic narration based on script writing rather than a spontaneous action, a feature documentary, the opposite of Italian neorealism.” A film of such lasting beauty that Jean Renoir told Benacerraf after seeing the film: “Above all … don’t cut a single image!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615568621902-G7X98AVRVMK035FMN8JF/atras_hay_relampagos.jpg Daily Recommendations LIGHTNING FALLS BEHIND / ATRÁS HAY RELÁMPAGOS A film by Julio Hernández Cordón (Costa Rica/Mexico, 2017, 82 min.

While biking around San José, and planning to create a vintage cab company, they find something inside the trunk of a car that they’d rather immediately forget.

Featuring a potent performance by Sofía Gala Castiglione in the title role (alongside her real-life son Dante), the film offers an unsentimental and non-moralizing take on a self-determined woman trying to live her unapologetic life while facing contradictory prostitution laws that are intended to protect her but often do the opposite.” —Neighboring Scenes, Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615255938647-1SYOFHXOYIYVLR6HAME1/P74qV4mkDdPdtocBK0863bNEZdzgoC.jpg Daily Recommendations MEMORIES OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT / MEMORIAS DEL SUBDESARROLLO A film by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea (Cuba, 1968, 97 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Apple TV+ and The Criterion Channel “This film by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea is the most renowned work in the history of Cuban cinema. After his wife and family flee in the wake of the Bay of Pigs invasion, the bourgeois intellectual Sergio (Sergio Corrieri) passes his days wandering Havana in idle reflection, his amorous entanglements and political ambivalence gradually giving way to a mounting sense of alienation. With this adaptation of an innovative novel by Edmundo Desnoes, Gutiérrez Alea developed a cinematic style as radical as the times he was chronicling, creating a collage of vivid impressions through the use of experimental editing techniques, archival material, and spontaneously shot street scenes. Intimate and densely layered, Memories of Underdevelopment provides an indictment of its protagonist’s disengagement and an extraordinary glimpse of life in postrevolutionary Cuba.” —The Criterion Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615256360499-U0LLRL1KI8WAXQO0N703/cristo-rey.jpg Daily Recommendations CRISTO REY A film by Leticia Tonos (Dominican Republic, 2013, 96 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime “More than one million Haitians live next door to their homeland in the Dominican Republic. They are the country's biggest minority, and face widespread discrimination despite the fact that as many as half were born there. Taking up the story of these migrants, many of them undocumented, Cristo Rey finds focus in Janvier, a kind-hearted teenager of mixed Haitian/ Dominican descent. We meet Janvier in the chaotic streets of Cristo Rey, a crime-ridden barrio of Santo Domingo where the cops play by their own rules and turn a blind eye to the activities of those who pay them off. Proud of his Haitian heritage, Janvier shuns his lighter-skinned father and rebellious half-brother as he tries to carve out an honest existence. But he longs for a better life, free from police harassment, and enough money to reunite with his mother back in Haiti. When he gets the chance to make some extra cash playing bodyguard to Jocelyn, the beautiful younger sister of the local drug kingpin, Janvier finds it hard to refuse. But as the two develop an intense connection, Janvier is forced to make a difficult choice. Director Leticia Tonos Paniagua brings together a talented cast of newcomers for this unique, Caribbean retelling of Romeo and Juliet. Her leads are attractive and charismatic, but more importantly they feel genuinely plucked from the neighborhood. With its percussive opening music, its sense of place and its depiction of a dangerous and urgent romance, Paniagua gives Cristo Rey the pulse of a hot city.” —Toronto International Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1614957090037-Z4H6OVUIE0KYFLSW99XP/anina-1200-1200-675-675-crop-000000.jpg Daily Recommendations ANINA A film by Alfredo Soderguit (Uruguay/Colombia, 2013, 82 min.

She has a best friend, but also a girl with whom she doesn’t get along at all: Yisel. One day she fights with Yisel, and so her problems begin: the school principal gives them both an intriguing punishment, a suspended detention. Anina spends her days in that suspension, a period of time with particular tension and questions, and her voiceover guides us as she comments on life with her nice parents, meals, the eyes of gossipy neighbors, homework, and childhood feelings, joys, and fears. Featuring particularly beautiful animation that perfectly integrates the movement of the characters with background settings that are worthy of illustrated children’s books (AninA is based on the 2003 book Anina Yatay Salas), this moving animated film has the homemade flavor of a warm and happy afternoon tea on a rainy day. “ —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1614957449112-6G0AB5848GGYDX8A1O3U/85e23c7e-d33f-48d3-9497-e54be865def5.jpg Daily Recommendations REY A film by Niles Atallah (Chile/France/Netherlands/Germany/Italy/Qatar, 2017, 90 min.

Honoring the ambiguous nature of Tounens’s life—it’s unclear if he was a spy, a huckster, an above-average colonial exploiter, or actually summoned by a Mapuche deity—Rey uses a variety of formal techniques and visual styles, including papier-mâché masks, battered 16mm stock, and educational film aesthetics.” —Neighboring Scenes, Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1615254735184-MWDT6U8N7BIKP8W0T840/Light-Years-2-1600x900-c-default.jpg Daily Recommendations LIGHT YEARS / AÑOS LUZ A film by Manuel Abramovich (Argentina/Brazil/Spain, 2018, 75 min.

In the spirit of his previous nonfiction features (Soldier and Solar), the Argentine cinematographer-turned-director demonstrates his clever ability to convey the playful, mysterious, frustrated, and delirious stages of filmmaking alongside his complex artistic collaboration with his subject. Far more than a behind-the-scenes film, Light Years is as much an intimate portrait of an artist at work as it is an attempt to evoke the oblique, transcendental tendencies that pervade Martel’s films.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1614628366525-8DJWGNCY9HQUDP7J35Y3/466478c2c2f4d83bef5617b74b751300.png Daily Recommendations HUNTING SEASON / TEMPORADA DE CAZA A film by Natalia Garagiola (Argentina/USA/France/Germany/Qatar, 2017, 105 min.

In English, Arabic, German, Russian) Streaming for free through Tuesday, March 2 as part of the German Documentary Showcase “This impeccably photographed documentary chronicles a year in the lives of asylum seekers in Berlin’s historic Tempelhof, a former airport expanded by the Nazi government as a symbol of Hitler’s Germania. The irony of the situation is not lost on Aïnouz or his subjects. Ibrahim, an 18-year-old from Syria, is studying German and waiting for his status to change from the uncertain ‘protected’ category to the more secure ‘refugee.’ Qutaiba, a 35-year-old physiotherapist from Iraq who was forced to flee before completing medical school, is volunteering at the clinic as a translator. The airport has become a city within a city, with box homes, spaces for the provision of healthcare, a barbershop, table tennis, and even a modest Christmas market. The men and women who work in the shelter try to accord some dignity to the thousands of people in limbo there. Central Airport THF is a moving portrait of displaced people in transition, and its focus on the positive implies that Germany might be one of the few European countries generous enough to welcome them to a new home.” —Anthology Film Archives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1614286227196-TDOVI328BK3IRA0DQFVQ/REV-LaMalaNoche-1-1024x556.jpg Daily Recommendations “Sex worker Dana (Noëlle Schönwald), drawn into prostitution after becoming addicted to pharmaceutical drugs, is exploited by her boss and caught in a cycle of paying off debts to him and caring for her ill daughter.

The lives of the people of the Central American nation were deeply shaken by the American military incursion. Invasion—Panama’s first film to be submitted for the Best Foreign Language Oscar—is a witty and engaging documentary that talks about the perils of sovereignty, democracy, and endangered virtues of today’s ultra-capitalist world. Winner of the Cinema Tropical for Best Documentary, the film not only explores the mechanisms in which memory is turned into history, but holds a mirror to the present to show how the recent past shapes Panama today.” —Museum of the Moving Image https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1613878212742-RRI7VTAMQS5U48A1O38T/cannesgentedebien1.jpg Daily Recommendations GENTE DE BIEN A film by Franco Lolli (Colombia/France, 2014, 86 min.

However, Eric sees a different side to the city when he is taken to the home of one of Gabriel’s wealthier clients, a middle-class university teacher who is keen to help the pair out. Unfortunately, her altruism tests the father-son relationship in a series of unforeseen ways. With a memorable central performance by newcomer Brayan Santamaria as the angry, disorientated but hilariously funny Eric, Franco Lolli’s impressive debut demonstrates an assured grasp of storytelling, employing the power of suggestion, along with a great soundtrack, to present a beautifully observed social drama that explores notions of class in contemporary society.” —London BFI Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1613877942273-ORVW03U8Y3PEVZY2EHFX/somosloquehay.jpg Daily Recommendations WE ARE WHAT WE ARE / SOMOS LO QUE HAY A film by Jorge Michel Grau (Mexico, 2010, 90 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ “In We Are What We Are, first time Mexican helmer Jorge Michel Grau creates a deeply unsettling portrait of contemporary Mexican urban life which steady grows into many things all at once: a sincere family drama, an earnest exploration of the moral implications of cannibalism and a ribald satire of the seemingly intractable political and economic corruption that is haunting present day Mexico. All moody nighttime vistas and grim, claustrophobic interiors, Grau’s film manages both social commentary and grisly, bone-chilling terror the old-fashioned way, but it still manages to have a depth of human feeling that isn’t the stock and trade of this type of genre fare.” —Filmmaker Magazine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1613757678353-39T5MT6IS1LSY769J7XW/oc756054_p3001_182815_1.jpg Daily Recommendations THE PRINCESS OF FRANCE / LA PRINCESA DE FRANCIA A film by Matías Piñeiro (Argentina, 2014, 70 min. In Spanish and Italian with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime, Vudu, iTunes, Apple TV+ “As in his critical hit Viola (2013), Matías Piñeiro doesn’t transplant Shakespeare to the present day so much as summon the spirit of his polymorphous comedies. Víctor (Julián Larquier Tellarini) returns to Buenos Aires after his father’s death and a spell in Mexico to prepare a radio production of Love’s Labour’s Lost. Reuniting with his repertory, he finds himself sorting out complicated entanglements with girlfriend Paula (Agustina Muñoz), sometime lover Ana (María Villar), and departed actress Natalia (Romina Paula), as well as his muddled relations with the constellation of friends involved with the project. As the film tracks the group’s criss-crossing movements and interactions, their lives become increasingly enmeshed with the fiction they’re reworking, potential outcomes multiply, and reality itself seems subject to transformation. An intimate, modestly scaled work that takes characters and viewers alike into dizzying realms of possibility, The Princess of France is the most ambitious film yet from one of world cinema’s brightest young talents, a cumulatively thrilling experience.” —New York Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1613785340142-FN7QJ94PVKLT5T7JFDAM/e74f0642b24cf59108ed9a2764036c89-1200-80.jpg Daily Recommendations REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES A film by Patricia Cardoso (USA, 2002, In English and some Spanish) Now streaming on HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, YouTube, Google Play, Vudu “Curves on a blossoming young woman can be sexy, but not if you are told you have too many of them. Real Women Have Curves is a humorous and warm hearted look at a Mexican American teenage girl coming of age in a boiling cauldron of cultural expectations, class constrictions, family duty, and her own personal aspirations. In this auspicious debut, Patricia Cardoso gives us a cast of characters we very rarely see—working class Latina women—with refreshing human complexity. Ana, a first generation Mexican American teenager living in East Los Angeles, has just graduated from high school. Because she is a talented writer, a caring teacher urges her to apply to college. Ana secretly is excited about the possibility, but her overbearing and hyper-critical mother, Carmen, insists that it is time for her to help provide for the family by working in her sister's sewing factory. It seems as if Ana's fate is unhappily sealed, but her indomitable will to reach beyond a sweatshop life eventually leads her to burst, defiant and resplendent, through every restriction on her life. America Ferrera and Lupe Ontiveros are wonderful as Ana and her mom as they deal with all of the unexpected curves life throws at them. Based on the play by Josephina Lopez, which is rooted in her own experience, Real Women Have Curves gives a fresh new voice to the yearnings of Chicana women struggling against insecurities to love themselves and find respect in the world.” —Sundance Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1613785724489-GBOXIHT9QP0IYI5JO7S3/brenomello2.jpg Daily Recommendations BLACK ORPHEUS / ORFEU NEGRO A film by Marcel Camus (France/Brazil, 1959, 107 min.

Lifeguard Mauricio starts his daily routine: setting up his observation tower, checking the weather forecast and the tides, and updating his logbook. With his deep tan and dreadlocks, Mauricio looks like a chilled-out surfer dude, but in reality, this serious young man is anything but. Rules are rules, and he strictly enforces the ban on alcohol, unleashed dogs and barbecues on his beach. Also, prevention is better than cure: he keeps a watchful eye on the bathers, reprimanding them when necessary with a shrill blast on his whistle. But the vacationers really don't appreciate being ordered around. Neither is Mauricio popular among his fellow lifeguards. Mauricio painstakingly reports every instance of absence by his competitor Jean Pierre, who in turn dismisses Mauricio as a ‘fake lifeguard.’ Mauricio is, he concedes, well-suited to finding lost children, but is no use at all in a real emergency: ‘He blows the whistle and everything, but he doesn't go in the water.’ How will Mauricio cope when his preventive measures are no use any more, and some boys are at risk of drowning? The Chilean filmmaker followed Mauricio for several days, without providing any commentary, revealing the position of his protagonist among both the beachgoers and his colleagues in just a few, highly telling scenes.” —International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1613445150604-QR7I9DP3YNK8J1X6RR3Q/08RDP_REACH_SPAN-superJumbo.jpg Daily Recommendations REACHING FOR THE MOON / FLORES RARAS A film by Bruno Barreto (Brazil, 2013, 118 min.

Initial hostilities between the pair make way for a complicated yet long-lasting love affair that dramatically alters Bishop’s relationship to the world around her.

They get hot and heavy, and soon Martin starts to play father figure to her son, turning their casual fling into domestic bliss, all while seemingly oblivious to the family’s imminent return. Family Life intrepidly weaves together the perspectives of a couple nobly navigating their family doldrums, and Martin, a drifter seizing a short-term lease on family life. Chile’s most original filmmakers, director Alicia Scherson and co-director Cristián Jiménez, team up to knock out an unconventional and profound study of living vicariously in this aloof, melancholy comedy.” —Sundance Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1613012068625-8HUL7YKU9OX94E495CD0/I.D.W.T.T.A.I.%252BMASTROIANNI.jpg Daily Recommendations I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT / DE ESO NO SE HABLA A film by María Luis Bemberg (Argentina/Italy, 1994, 105 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon “The title of María Luisa Bemberg's subtle, touching film refers to the determination expressed by the proud widow Leonor (Brando) regarding the condition of her daughter Charlotte (Podestá). Quite simply, Leonor will not accept the fact that the girl is a dwarf. Instead, she showers her beloved progeny with kindness and encourages her interest in the arts - an interest which forms the basis of a friendship between the teenager and Don Ludovico D'Andrea (Mastroianni), an elderly bachelor of mysterious origins who falls profoundly in love with the girl. Set in a small Argentinian town in the '40s, Bemberg's poignant fable succeeds largely through understatement and the principals' superb performances. Mercifully, while there are a few faintly surreal touches, the magic here derives from the cool, unsentimental, down-to-earth appraisal of the trio's tangled emotions. It's a tender movie, but never needlessly romanticized, and not without its quiet cruelties.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1612801148450-ZIDSRD5D7XSRQ7VOZTII/image.jpg Daily Recommendations THE 4th COMPANY / LA 4a COMPAÑÍA A film by Amir Galván Cervera and Mitzi Vanessa Arreola (Mexico/Spain, 2016, 109 min.

His passion for American football lands him a spot on the football team called the Dogs, that doubles as an enforcer squad for a corrupt administration. This team will go far beyond the walls of the prison where they’re also known as "The 4th Company", a group of inmates who serve as the prison administration’s enforcers. They’ll be Zambrano’s company – serving as his protectors but also posing a threat to him as he loses his innocence and risks also losing his life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1612801253201-X732R137X3WBA81X8VD2/LTZU4PTIXUI6PPOPPCT3B4AD74.jpg Daily Recommendations ENDLESS POETRY / POESÍA SIN FIN A film by Alejandro Jodorowsky (Chile/France, 2016, 128 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on MUBI Through renowned father of the midnight movies Alejandro Jodorowsky’s intensely personal lens, Endless Poetry tells the story of his years spent as an aspiring poet in Chile in the 1940’s. Against the wishes of his authoritarian father, the 20 year old Jodorowsky leaves home to pursue his dream of becoming a poet, and is introduced into the bohemian and artistic inner circle of Santiago where he meets Enrique Lihn, Stella Diaz Varín, Nicanor Parra, all unknown at the time, but who would later become driving forces of twentieth century Hispanic literature. Living with these inspirational artists, Jodorowsky’s exploration of his inner feelings takes him on a journey of sensual experimentation leading him to realize his innermost desires and passions. Continuing the autobiographical story he began in The Dance of Reality, Endless Poetry is an ode to the quest for beauty and inner truth, as a universal force capable of changing one’s life forever, written by a man who has dedicated his existence to creating spiritual and artistic awareness, told through Jodorowsky’s unique surreal and psychedelic visual language. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1612498053915-C2C94YXP2DP8BEK8FVMT/static1.squarespace.jpg Daily Recommendations THE VIOLIN / EL VIOLÍN A film by Francisco Vargas (Mexico, 2005, 98 min.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Sling TV, Amazon Prime, Pantaya, and Kanopy “The Return is the story of a delightful and life-changing journey back to Costa Rica. After living 10 years in New York, 30 year-old Antonio returns to San José where he is forced to deal with the realities he ran away from. He is welcomed by his intense sister, Amanda-whose husband recently abandoned her-and their young son Inti-who is apprehensive about Antonio’s presence. When things take an unexpected turn, Antonio is forced to remain home far longer than he had anticipated. Add in the comedy of Antonio finding out that his best friend is the lead singer of a death metal rock band and sprinkle in the rekindling of a childhood romance and you have the ingredients of a superb film. Actor and director Hernán Jiménez not only wrote, directed, and stared in this, his second full-length film, but also financed it with the proceeds from his first feature, his stand up comedy act, and the most successful Kickstarter campaign in Latin America to date. Far from the image of Costa Rica promoted by the country’s Department of Tourism, The Return became the highest grossing Costa Rican film ever and the first to earn international recognition.” —Pragda https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1612220070932-YWJA6FWLCGGWO0UPHVHZ/1288251_theextraordinaryjourneyofcelestegarcia_170940.jpg Daily Recommendations THE EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY OF CELESTE GARCIA / EL VIAJE EXTRAORDINARIO DE CELESTE GARCÍA A film by Arturo Infante (Cuba/Germany, 2019, 92 min.

One day when several “Cubans” mysteriously vanish into thin air, the government announces that aliens have been living in Cuban society disguised as humans, and that these foreign guests are now returning the favor by inviting humans to visit their far-away world. It all makes perfect sense to Celeste – she had always thought that her “Russian” neighbor Pauline was eccentric, but now learns she was truly from another planet! Celeste discovers that Pauline has left her a personal invitation to join her and joins the government preparation program to journey to the far unknown.

But then, persistent fangirl Francisca pressures her way into Martina’s apartment, revealing that she believes herself to be Martina’s long-lost sister—and, at the same time, Francisca’s boyfriend César catches Martina’s eye, stirring her previously dormant desire. In a flash, the Argentine singer is flying to Chile to pursue this promising young lover and, while she’s at it, a better sense of self. Writer-director Che Sandoval deftly mingles the passions, obsessions, and heartbreaks of his characters in this fresh, comic take on the road movie, one predicated on Martina’s search for inspiration, both in the bedroom and out. Antonella Costa, marvelous in the title role, captures Martina’s overconfidence with humor and sensitivity. As her unease in this new land evaporates, she starts to warm to the idea of a new family, and she comes to terms with a lesson from Francisca’s search for a sibling, audiences are treated to the blooming of a new type of Martina—funny, sexy, and in control of her destiny.” —Tribeca Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1611519880855-FS10SZDMXQ5MOAUKSH2R/hbo_svod-35069-Full-Image_GalleryBackground-en-US-1499457827854._RI_.jpg Daily Recommendations MR.

Here, in an adobe-tile-roofed castle, a statuesque matriarch reigns over her spoiled progeny and her Indigenous Aymaran butler. But all is not what it seems. As the mother fights with her oversexed son and clashes with her petulant daughter, her six-year-old son rambles the rooftops unnoticed. Decline hangs in the air, and the threat of aristocratic privileges changing hands signifies a new chapter of a prickly and ill-fated class war.

When Rubí, a sixteen-year-old teenager is murdered by her boyfriend in Ciudad Juárez, Marisela Escobedo began a tireless crusade to achieve the capture and trial of the man who killed her daughter. With the support of family and friends, Marisela traveled the country for two years, conducted her own investigations, and faced criminal organizations and corrupt officials.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on YouTube, Google Play, Vudu, and Amazon Prime “One of Mexico’s most highly regarded works of political cinema, Canoa: A Shameful Memory reimagines a real-life incident that had occurred just eight years before its release, when a group of urban university employees on a hiking trip were viciously attacked by residents of the village of San Miguel Canoa who had been manipulated by a corrupt priest into believing the travelers were communist revolutionaries. Director Felipe Cazals adopts a gritty documentary style to narrate the events in Canoa while referencing the climate of political repression that would lead to the massacre of student protesters in Mexico City shortly thereafter. The resulting film is a daring commentary on ideological manipulation, religious fanaticism, and mass violence, as well as a visceral expression of horror.” —Criterion Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1608612438559-6OMD1534JNZ7T1RD6J97/image.jpg Daily Recommendations ROMA A film by Alfonso Cuarón (Mexico/USA, 2018, 135 min. In Spanish and Mixtec with English subtitles) Now streaming on Netflix “In Alfonso Cuarón’s autobiographically inspired film, set in Mexico City in the early ’70s, we are placed within the physical and emotional terrain of a middle-class family whose center is quietly and unassumingly held by its beloved live-in nanny and housekeeper (Yalitza Aparicio). The cast is uniformly magnificent, but the real star of ROMA is the world itself, fully present and vibrantly alive, from sudden life-changing events to the slightest shifts in mood and atmosphere. Cuarón tells us an epic story of everyday life while also gently sweeping us into a vast cinematic experience, in which time and space breathe and majestically unfold. Shot in breathtaking black and white and featuring a sound design that represents something new in the medium, Roma is a truly visionary work.” —New York Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1608612500178-JPG6DNOA81QIEOS2JO2T/_0000_sortoffamily_01_-_h_2017-928x523.jpg Daily Recommendations A SORT OF FAMILY / UNA ESPECIE DE FAMILIA A film by Diego Lerman (Argentina/Brazil/France/Poland, 2017, 96 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Netlfix “Legal adoption can be a long, laborious, and exhausting process. Its frustrations and disappointments often push eager would-be parents to find other arrangements. Diego Lerman’s latest feature, A Sort of Family, follows one determined woman as she navigates the complex world of child adoption in Argentina’s Misiones province. Malena (Bárbara Lennie), a doctor, is overjoyed when she learns that the woman whose child she intends to adopt is due to give birth soon. But after she travels from Buenos Aires to be present for the occasion, it becomes clear that the process will not be a smooth one — the biological mother’s family suddenly demands an extra $10,000. Urged by both the doctor at the clinic and a lawyer, Malena enlists the help of her estranged husband Mariano (Claudio Tolcachir), who has been hesitant to adopt a child under the couple’s current circumstances. Through their experiences, Lerman exposes a legally and morally ambiguous system sustained by the complicity of medical and legal professionals. Set in the rural, disadvantaged communities of Argentina’s north, Lerman’s film uses thriller overtones to construct a suspenseful social drama. In a superbly calibrated performance, Lennie portrays the frustration of a woman overwhelmed by a situation that exceeds her control. But her desire for a family trumps her better instincts, leading her to deal with a corrupt system where adoption is just another transaction, one that exploits the poor, the desperate, and the newly born.” — Toronto International Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1608612647225-RWP47DXHJ1VNLQO13BST/workforce_0HERO.jpg Daily Recommendations WORKFORCE / MANO DE OBRA A film by David Zonana (Mexico, 2019, 82 min.

After enduring a succession of further abuses against himself and his colleagues, and having made several attempts to obtain justice, he finally takes the law into his own hands—but will the world he’s fighting against consume him?

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Now streaming on Tubi, Sling TV, and Film Movement Plus “Set in a remote area of Brazil where coffee plantations flourished in the 1800s, this finely calibrated film follows Rita, a young, wandering photographer, as she comes to understand life in a community where time has seemingly stood still and people’s traditional roles clash with modern society. The film’s original title, which translates as ‘Stories That Only Exist When Remembered,’ beautifully expresses the theme of Murat’s poetic rendering of the fictive Jotuomba, its inhabitants affectionately wedded to the rituals and land that contain the memories of their lives. Rita’s visit occasions a confluence of generations and cultures that seem to grow organically out of the setting in this extraordinarily accomplished and mature first feature.” —New Directors/New Films https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1608668930282-9LTROLHOGU3PWA2MWY45/cronicas.jpg Daily Recommendations CRÓNICAS A film by Sebastián Cordero (Ecuador/Mexico, 2004. 97 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Vudu, YouTube, Google Play, Amazon Prime, and iTunes With an impressive international cast including John Leguizamo, Damián Alcázar, Henry Layana, Alfred Molina, Leonor Watling, and Jose Maria Yazpik, and co-produced by Alfonso Cuarón and Guillermo del Toro, Sebastián Cordero’s suspense thriller is a film about the duality of good and evil, of truth and media manipulation. "One Hour with the Truth" is broadcast nightly from Miami across Latin America, carrying the hardest sensationalistic stories it can find. Star anchorman Manolo Bonilla has flown down to a small town in Ecuador with producer Marisa and cameraman Ivan on the trail of a child serial killer and rapist, "The Monster of Babahoyo." The accidental death of a young boy brings the town to the verge of lynching Vinicio Cepeda, a humble traveling salesman. Manolo's intervention saves the man's life, and makes a great story for his show. Vinicio is put in jail for involuntary manslaughter and he offers Manolo information about the "Monstruo" in exchange for a news story on television about his wrongful imprisonment. Manolo accepts, powerfully drawn to the dark side he senses in Vinicio. He begins to break the rules, determined to be the hero who single-handedly stops the killer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1607444907550-DFA8J84ZQWAKTGMIXR1Z/Night-Across-the-Street-1600x900-c-default.jpg Daily Recommendations NIGHT ACROSS THE STREET / LA NOCHE DE ENFRENTE A film by Raúl Ruiz (Chile/France, 2012, 110 min. In Spanish and French with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime and iTunes “On the verge of forced retirement, an elderly office worker (Sergio Hernández) begins reliving memories from his past, both real and imagined: a trip to the movies as a young boy with Beethoven, listening to tall tales from Long John Silver, a brief stay in a haunted hotel, conversations with a writer’s fictional doppelgänger. Stories are hidden within stories and the thin line between imagination and reality steadily erodes, opening up a marvelous new world of personal remembrance and melodrama. In his final masterwork, loosely adapted from the fantastical short stories of Chilean writer Hernán del Solar, Ruiz has crafted a playfully elegiac film that addresses his favorite subjects: fiction, history, and life itself.” —New York Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1607444976327-58ZAUNV48W8KYIL52ASC/OPeixe_JdA_2016016_1600_c.jpg Daily Recommendations THE FISH / O PEIXE A film by Jonathas de Andrade (Brazil/USA, 2016, 38 min. No dialogue) Watch it for free for a limited time courtesy of the New Museum “Over the last decade, de Andrade has developed works in photography, video, and installation that stem from observations of everyday life in Brazil and what he regards as its ‘urgencies and discomforts.’ In particular, many of de Andrade’s works consider how Brazilian national identity and labor conditions have been constructed against a backdrop of colonialism and slavery. De Andrade’s works also attend to the ways in which attitudes and emotions are shaped—and governed—by images, social conventions, and political ideologies. In his diverse examinations of Brazilian culture and history, he reinterprets the methodologies of education and the social sciences, using nuances of fiction, artifice, and appropriation to undermine assumptions and confound the sensation of truth.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1607445155689-T3732RN8UNCWZLBRW35N/AUsefulLife1.jpg Daily Recommendations A USEFUL LIFE / LA VIDA ÚTIL A film by Federico Veiroj (Uruguay/Spain, 2010, 67 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now available on Tubi, Pluto TV, and Amazon Prime Video “The life expectancy of a product in Spanish is called ‘la vida útil’. The film title refers to the career of Jorge, who seems to have reached his sell-by date. He’s worked for 25 years as a programmer and projectionist for the Uruguayan Cinémathèque. He selects the films and sits beside the projector every day to translate the films during screening. In his weekly film column on the radio, he recommends the Manoel de Oliveira retrospective and hopes to fill seats with the slogan: ‘You need the Cinémathèque and the Cinémathèque needs you.' It doesn’t help, and the Cinémathèque is closed because it is losing money. To the sounds of exotic film music, Jorge roams the streets. Director Federico Veiroj himself worked at the Cinémathèque and, after his dry and humorous teenage portrait Acne (2008), this time he follows a man without a future who is saved by cinema—and by love.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on DAFilms and Kanopy Agustina Comedi weaves together a complex and moving portrait of her late father Jaime, constructed from more than 100 hours of videotape he recorded as a hobby prior to his untimely death. It seemed as though he recorded everything, although he left only small clues as to the man he was before marrying her mother and the secrets he kept with him. Interviews with those who knew him reveal fragments of a youth filled with political activism, joyful friendships, and sexuality that never fully bloomed in the repressive social climate of 1980’s Argentina. With equal marriage being introduced in the country in 2010, Comedi’s film is at once a love letter to her father, and also profound thank you to those who sacrificed so much for the freedoms of the next generation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1606782109350-CU3JIYRCPOTR4AQ7E5FE/1571143525_cama-adentro.jpg Daily Recommendations LIVE-IN MAID / CAMA ADENTRO A film by Jorge Gaggero (Argentina, 2004, 87 min.

It does not stop raining, and Alberto’s plans for creating quality family memories are washed away in the cramped cabin he has rented, which does little to remedy the adolescent resentments and rebellion of Lucia, and the boredom of Federico.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on DAFilms Americas “Luis Ospina’s healthy skepticism of revolutionary dogma is also reflected in a feature-length film essay, Un tigre de papel (A Paper Tiger, 2007), about the Colombian collage artist, poet and sometime revolutionary, Pedro Manrique Figueroa. PMF, as he is sometimes referred to in the film, disappeared without a trace in 1981, but is also an enigma because virtually no images of the artist or many of his collages survive. Two of his found footage films do exist and are included in the essay, along with footage from various Communist propaganda films, newsreels and interviews with contemporaries. Born in 1934, and strongly influenced by the murder of leftist politician Jorge Eliécer Gaitán in 1948, when he was a ticket collector on a tram, we learn that Figueroa was trained as a professional revolutionary in East Germany in the 1960s. He travelled to Eastern Europe and China, but also spent a good portion of his life homeless, an intellectual who floated in and out of Bogotá’s coffee house scene, distributing homemade pamphlets, leaflets and collages, which reflected his own strange mixture of Communist, Socialist and Maoist ideologies with a healthy dose of sexuality. Ospina’s portrait of an artist who never quite fit in is also, then, a social and political history of Colombia’s turbulent past.” —UCLA Film Archie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1604964973898-H41W7IRXUWUYLR5YQK82/Unknown.jpg Daily Recommendations WHISKY A film by Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll (Uruguay, 2004, 94 min.

Day in, day out, he sets off to work early, where his faithful assistant Martha arrives with him at the same time. They greet each other with few words and get on with their everyday activities. This imperturbable regularity comes to an end when Jacobo's younger brother Herman comes over from Brazil. The two brothers have not had much contact for years, but now Herman feels forced to get involved with placing a gravestone for their mother. Jacobo gets so nervous at the prospect of facing his socially successful brother, that he asks Martha to act as his wife. When Herman invites them for a short holiday, a tragicomic triangular relationship ensues. With their début success 25 Watts Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll put Uruguay on the map as a film country. The sequel Whisky (the local variation on 'Say cheese!') has already been compared with the films of Aki Kaurismäki, with which they share the precise framing and montage, the touching, dry humor and a deep psychological insight and compassion with ordinary people. But however honorable the comparison may be, with their award-winning second film, Stoll and Rebella mainly show that a specifically Uruguayan cinema is alive and well.” —Rotterdam International Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1604697017964-2PZO2I4RY6O6IJWI74NF/aquarius3.jpg Daily Recommendations AQUARIUS A film by Kleber Mendonça Filho (Brazil/France, 2016, 142 min.

Trouble starts when an ambitious real estate promoter who has bought up all of Aquarius’s other units comes knocking on Clara’s door.

Nicolas joins Julian in overseeing the construction of a hospital following the failure of a project he was leading in which paramilitary forces assassinated members of the community. Deeply troubled by his actions, Nicolas finds solace in Luciana (Martina Gusman, Carancho, Lion’s Den), a young, attractive atheist social worker. As Nicholas’s beliefs wane, tension and violence grow between the slum’s drug-dealing cartels and when work on the hospital is halted by ministerial decree, the faith of the entire community is put to the test. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1604273062226-4T5HFQR5CYE1G8E8SFYC/pans-labyrinth.jpg Daily Recommendations PAN’S LABYRINTH / EL LABERINTO DEL FAUNO A film by Guillermo del Toro (Mexico/Spain, 2006, 119 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Netflix, YouTube, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu, Amazon Prime “In Academy Award–winning dark fable set five years after the end of the Spanish Civil War, Pan’s Labyrinth encapsulates the rich visual style and genre-defying craft of Guillermo del Toro. Eleven-year-old Ofelia (Ivana Baquero, in a mature and tender performance) comes face to face with the horrors of fascism when she and her pregnant mother are uprooted to the countryside, where her new stepfather (Sergi López), a sadistic captain in General Francisco Franco’s army, hunts down Republican guerrillas refusing to give up the fight. The violent reality in which Ofelia lives merges seamlessly with her fantastical interior world when she meets a faun in a decaying labyrinth and is set on a strange, mythic journey that is at once terrifying and beautiful. In his revisiting of this bloody period in Spanish history, del Toro creates a vivid depiction of the monstrosities of war infiltrating a child’s imagination and threatening the innocence of youth.” — The Criterion Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1604083928179-CIGALPF6OC93LNS6LZBS/3_wide-3f839122e2b5e49f127add02d560b3137547777d.jpg Daily Recommendations NO A film by Pablo Larraín (Chile, France, USA, 2012, 108 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Vudu, Amazon Prime, YouTube, iTunes “The third film by Pablo Larraín about the Chilean Pinochet dictatorship, which lasted from 1973 to 1990. After portraying life under the dictatorship (Tony Manero) and how it started (Post Mortem), he now shows the deathblow for Pinochet’s regime: the pro-democratic 'No' vote in a referendum held in 1988 under international pressure. This time, Alfredo Castro, the protagonist of Tony Manero and Post Mortem, has an important supporting role, while the lead is for Gael García Bernal, as a commercial advertising man who encourages the gloomy opposition to fight a cheerful and optimistic 'No' campaign. After the highly stylized design and black-comic tone of his two previous films, Larraín now uses a reportage style in which original news and advertising images have been integrated seamlessly into the film, thanks to the use of old U-matic video cameras.” —Rotterdam International Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1604084006882-82LDHAIJ0MXVY1I7F2F9/LAYUMA2.jpg Daily Recommendations LA YUMA A film by Florence Jaguey (Mexico/Nicaragua/Spain, 2011, 91 min.

Looking beyond the meager possibilities that seem available to her (and ignoring the advice of her gang-member friends), she finds solace and hope in her training and falls in love with a middle-class journalism student. With an extraordinary performance by Alma Blanco as Yuma, the strength, astuteness and determination of the main character reflect the feelings of a population that faces adversity and inequality. Jaugey’s film allows us the rare opportunity to get a glimpse of life in this Central American country where gender and class inequality are an everyday challenge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1603761409819-EC7CMX4QF53AIJ2NLSX3/087227e77d2d5e87e3b18cfc11d57f77de08b4ea.jpg Daily Recommendations WHISKY ROMEO ZULU A film by Enrique Piñeyro (Argentina, 2004, 105 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on YouTube, Google Play, iTunes “Should profit outweigh safety? This courageous critique of civil aviation after deregulation, a whistle-blowing thriller of the highest order, offers a tense depiction of events leading to the crash of a Linea Aerea Privada Argentina 737 in Buenos Aires in 1999. The leading character’s childhood dreams of flying are shattered by a reality completely different from what he expected. As a pilot, his insistence on following safety regulations earns him the enmity of higher ups in the corporation who continually pressure him to cut corners. Soon colleagues who need to keep their jobs shun him. It’s achingly clear where the broken equipment, empty fire extinguishers and intimidated workers will lead - it’s a matter of when rather than if an accident will take place. Mirroring the main character’s dilemma is the story of a federal prosecutor investigating the case who resists physical threats to prove the crash cannot be explained by mere pilot error.” —Karlovy Vary Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1603761526851-1IJNCRSTO09TWNYAV4SL/MV5BZjMyYTkyZjEtN2E4OC00MGRkLTg1NzMtZWJlNDgwNWE2YzhjL2ltYWdlL2ltYWdlXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTc5NDE0MDA%252540._V1_.jpg Daily Recommendations A RED BEAR / UN OSO ROJO A film by Adrián Caetano (Argentina/France/Spain, 2002, 94 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime “After doing seven years in prison for murder and armed robbery, Oso is released on parole. His wife Natalia and daughter Alicia now live with Sergio, who has racked up debts from playing the horses. Oso hopes to get them back and help them, but to do so he has to control his clumsiness and his irrepressible outbursts of violence. When Turco, owner of his favorite bar, tries to persuade him to take part in a new «job», he realizes the only way to ensure his daughters future is to be an outlaw. This disillusioned urban western relates the fate of a fringe dispenser of justice at odds with the harsh reality of the suburbs. His only reward is Alicias smile.” —Viennale https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1603383332691-1XQZ9JYJDTDVKK0L1JBS/maxresdefault.jpg Daily Recommendations DUCK SEASON / TEMPORADA DE PATOS A film by Fernando Eimbcke (Mexico, 2004, 85 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on YouTube, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, and Amazon Prime “An uneaten pizza, two bottles of Coca-Cola, a tray of pot brownies, a tacky painting of ducks and an Xbox acquire quizzical significance in the single-apartment pressure chamber of Eimbcke’s debut Duck Season, all of which gives the deceptive impression of the film as a puzzle to be solved. It turns out, however, that the only real puzzle here is adolescence itself, the slippery focus of the director’s career thus far. The film begins as a portrait of a lazy Sunday afternoon between friends Flama and Moko, who’ve ordered a pizza to supplement hours of languishing in front of the TV while their parents are out. Upon being refused payment, the delivery guy protests by lounging around with his junior-high customers, and he is followed soon after by a female neighbor claiming that her oven’s not working—a bizarre setup that proves mostly an excuse to collide four differing expressions of adolescent curiosity, yearning and frustration. Eimbcke composes his low-stakes miniature with an eye toward symmetry and domestic rhythm that alternately evokes Yasujiro Ozu and Jim Jarmusch, while his take on restless youth suggests a demented tweak on The Breakfast Club.” —Harvard Film Archive https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1603231612663-5JYZ26QSHIPQRL4TU4X0/novo.jpg Daily Recommendations CINEMA NOVO A film by Eryk Rocha (Brazil, 2016, 90 min.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Netflix “Tijuana, Mexico. Sofia has fallen in love for the first time. This poverty-stricken 14-year-old girl is easy game for the scarcely older Ulises. He wants them to feel like they’ve never felt before, or so he says. While expertly wrapping the young girl around his little finger, he suddenly realizes he has developed real feelings for her. However, the truth is that his father sent him. The son of a pimp, Ulises is given the task of seducing young girls before forcing them into prostitution. But this time he wants to break away from the traditional family business and release his victim from the snare before it’s too late. A vicious circle ensues. It is difficult to tackle the topic of forced prostitution in a film without appearing exploitative. Director David Pablos has managed to tread this narrow path with incredible care and consideration. The Chosen Ones broaches a burning social problem with formal vigor and sensitivity towards its content.” —Zurich Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1603231950387-3H2LJW1QJJXVBYBLL356/unnamed.jpg Daily Recommendations A WOLF AT THE DOOR / O LOBO ATRÁS DA PORTA A film by Fernando Coimbra (Brazil, 2013, 100 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) Now streaming on Tubi, Amazon Prime, Vudu, YouTube, iTunes, and Google Play Set in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, A Wolf at the Door is based on real events, and is a nerve-rattling tale of a kidnapped child and the terror of the parents left behind. When Sylvia (Fabíula Nascimento) discovers her six-year-old daughter has been picked up at school by an unknown woman, police summon her husband Bernardo (Milhem Cortaz) to the station for questioning. There Bernardo confesses his extra-marital affair with the beautiful young Rosa (Leandra Leal), whom detectives believe to be involved in the kidnapping. Brazilian filmmaker Fernando Coimbra’s suspenseful debut feature captures the heightened anxiety of every parent’s worst nightmare, casting a light upon the cruelties of which humans are capable. The film was the winner of the Latino Horizon Award at the San Sebastian Film Festival, the Best Film Award at the Havana Film Festival, the Best Film and Best Director Awards at the Miami Film Festival and the Best Film and Best Actress Award at the Rio Film Festival. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1603231775983-JPWDWHEEZWRZ8ZBXXFGP/TheHumanSurge.jpg Daily Recommendations THE HUMAN SURGE / EL AUGE DEL HUMANO A film by Eduardo Williams (Argentina/Brazil/Portugal, 2016, 99 min. In Spanish, Cebuano, Portuguese, and English, with English subtitles) Now streaming on Projectr and Amazon Prime “A twentysomething in Argentina loses his warehouse job. Boys in Maputo, Mozambique, perform half-hearted sex acts in front of a webcam. A woman in the Philippines assembles electronics in a small factory. Williams’s inquisitive camera is in constant motion, as are his rootless characters, who wander aimlessly, make small talk, futz with their phones, and search for a working Internet connection. Unfolding within the unfree time between casual jobs, this wildly original rumination on labor and leisure in the global digital economy seems to take place in both the immediate present and the far horizon of the foreseeable future.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on iTunes “After several documentaries, Rigoberto Perezcano makes his debut as a fiction director with an appealing feature filled with documentary detail and psychological insight. The protagonist Andrés—just like the director—comes from the distant Oaxaca and tries to reach the United States. He makes friends with two ladies who run a shop in Tijuana. Every time Andres gets sent back by the border police, he returns to Cata and Ela. Their husbands once successfully crossed the border and have not been in touch since. As the Variety critic remarked: 'It's almost shocking to discover there really are new, compelling ways to tell the story [about migration]'. Perezcano's style is as modest, touching and determined as his protagonists. Northless is an ode to the often absurd inventiveness of the undocumented immigrant, but also makes subtly and occasionally humorously clear just how painful the situation of migrants is and the problems faced by a border town like Tijuana.” —Rotterdam International Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1603232081750-LGETHFVTCHEXPLR61DEY/image-asset.jpeg Daily Recommendations TOPONYMY / TOPONIMIA A film by Jonathan Perel (Argentina, 2015, 82 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on DaFilms.com and Vimeo on Demand “In 1974, shortly after Juan Peron’s return to power, the misleadingly named ‘Operation Independence’ went into effect, resulting in the creation of rigidly designed villages in northern Argentina arranged to thwart guerilla resistance. In his masterful structuralist study, made with no narration or dialogue, Jonathan Perel reveals the sinister politics behind the plan. ‘An elaborate memory puzzle whose dry, enigmatic humor would surely have tickled Perel's illustrious countryman Jose Luis Borges.’ (Neil Young, The Hollywood Reporter).” —Museum of the Moving Image https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1602606460614-9IAUBB5QKWUA2Z0XUK32/1308034_linafromlima_43491.jpg Daily Recommendations LINA FROM LIMA / LINA DE LIMA A film by María Paz González (Chile/Argentina/Peru, 2019, 83 min.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Now streaming on YouTube, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, Amazon Prime Brazilian artist Alê Abreu’s Academy Award-nominated masterpiece is a riotous explosion of music and color, a breathtakingly original and vibrant cinematic experience that depicts the wonders and struggles of the modern world as seen through the eyes of a young boy. Cuca’s cozy rural life is shattered when his father leaves for the city, prompting him to embark on a quest to reunite his family. The young boy’s journey unfolds like a tapestry, the animation taking on greater complexity as his small world expands. Entering civilization, industrial landscapes are inhabited by animal-machines, with barrios of decoupage streets and shop windows and flashing neon advertisements that illuminate the night. The story depicts a clash between village and city, hand crafted and mechanized, rich and poor – and throughout the tumult, the heart and soul of the people beats on as a song. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1602374805799-18UTGTYRCLCCDP9MMGA9/Medianeras+-+Foto+2.jpg Daily Recommendations SIDEWALLS / MEDIANERAS A film by Gustavo Taretto (Argentina/Germany/Spain, 2011, 96 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on YouTube and Google Play "How does architecture condition the lives of people living in the city? Mariana and Martin are two lonely souls who have a lot in common and live on the same block, but somehow never meet. With this clever romantic comedy, Taretto pays homage to the city of Buenos Aires as he reflects on how urban chaos, as well as new technologies, can unite people but also keep them apart (as the sidewalls of the title). Mixing animation, photography and graphic art he reveals the characters’ isolation and anxieties that are a staple of modern life in a noisy city that nonetheless has an irresistible charm.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1602374928853-G26KWPPZEF7KJ6NGE1PM/Sueno-en-otro-idioma.jpg Daily Recommendations I DREAM IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE / SUEÑO EN OTRO IDIOMA A film by Ernesto Contreras ( Mexico/Netherlands, 2016, 101 min.

He finds the last two speakers of the language, but they refuse to speak to each other because of a 50 year grudge. Martin learns the surly Evaristo got into a fight with Isauro because they fell in love with the same woman. Now widowed, Evaristo continues to bitterly avoid the ailing Isauro. Martin and Evaristo’s granddaughter, Lluvia, work to convince the men to reconcile. Perplexed by their intensity when they meet, Martin realizes there is more to the story, and Lluvia finally reveals the secret behind the men’s entanglement. As Isauro’s health declines, Evaristo struggles to come to terms with his feelings, and strange bird calls from deep inside the jungle begin to stir, evoking the mythical origin of their ancestors. Distinctly enigmatic in tone, permeating the vibrations of the jungle’s enchantment through sound and cinematography, writer and director duo the Contreras brothers imaginatively use language and metaphor, and eternity over history to weave an unexpected and transcendental love story.” —Sundance Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1602173138778-K0C6AIEFXNV4V4WX5PMR/Young-Wild.jpg Daily Recommendations YOUNG & WILD / JOVEN Y ALOCADA A film by Marialy Rivas (Chile, 2012, 96 min.

But her self-proclaimed “pussy in flames” is in direct conflict with her well-to-do, strict evangelical family in Santiago, Chile. She finds an outlet by detailing her naughty ruminations and exploits on her blog “Young & Wild” to her eager online followers. She dates handsome and pious Tomas, but maybe Antonia, the really cute girl at work is more her speed. As she struggles to balance both relationships, Daniela learns that having it all—sex, love and eternal salvation—is more complicated than she ever imagined. Marialy Rivas masterfully directs her first feature, which premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival where Rivas and co-writer Camila Gutiérrez (whose life the film is based on) picked up the World Cinema Screenwriting Award. Rooted in a fearless and unforgettable performance by Alicia Rodríguez, Young & Wild is a stunning, energetic look at family and youth culture in contemporary Chile.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1602178452703-DM79HZ0CM3YK9N7CR2NR/maxresdefault.jpg Daily Recommendations THE HOLY MOUNTAIN / LA MONTAÑA SAGRADA A film by Alejandro Jodorowsky (Mexico, 1973, 114 min. In English) Now streaming on iTunes and Amazon Prime “The follow-up to his Midnight Movie sensation El Topo, writer-director Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain caused a scandal at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival with its flood of sacrilegious imagery, existential symbolism and outrageous violence. Once again, Jodorowsky plays the allegorically named lead, “The Alchemist,” who assembles a group of people from all walks of life and renames them for the planets in the solar system. Putting his recruits through strange mystical rites and divesting them of their worldly baggage, he leads them on a trip to Lotus Island to ascend the Holy Mountain and displace the immortal gods who secretly rule the universe. This gorgeous new digital restoration, overseen by the filmmaker himself, returns Jodorowsky’s most visually extravagant film to all its trippy splendor.” —IFC Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1601595830696-XXUM3QLCQ6OWW0ITJH9V/image.jpg Daily Recommendations LOVELING / BENZINHO A film by Gustavo Pizzi, 2017, Brazil/Uruguay, 95 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime “Irene is raising four rambunctious sons in a home that is physically crumbling but warm and happy. As Irene simultaneously shelters her sister Sonia (who just left a volatile marriage), supports her own husband through a financial crisis, and plans her own long-awaited high school graduation, Irene’s eldest son, Fernando, suddenly announces he has been recruited by a professional handball team in Germany and will be leaving in just three weeks. Consummate caretaker Irene prickles at the idea of emancipating the 16-year-old so he can travel and live alone, and she becomes increasingly anxious about what her future holds. Writer/director Gustavo Pizzi exquisitely captures a family’s home and life in intimate, crisp, fully realized detail, while co-writer/actress Karine Teles embodies Irene with delicacy and passion, articulating in equal measure her fierce familial devotion, seemingly endless reserve of warmth and patience, and growing existential doubt. Loveling thoughtfully contemplates the complicated balance between the destructive and restorative elements of our bonds to the people we love and cherish most.” —Sundance Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1601595948620-Q6IIUYRWP8DR3TTROYNS/ca-times.brightspotcdn.jpg Daily Recommendations GUILTY MEN / PARIENTE A film by Iván D. Gaona (Colombia, 2016, 115 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime, Vudu, YouTube, and Google Play “Iván D. Gaona’s sharp debut feature taps into Colombia’s roiling discontent amidst corruption and the foreboding legacy of paramilitaries in the countryside. The queasily tense drama tracks a rural love triangle that ensues when a woman’s ex surfaces, to the displeasure of her corrupt strongman fiancé. Despite a sweet sense of yearning between the potential lovers, any hope of romance seems set to wither and die amidst the moral rot and, more concretely, the thefts and killings that periodically occur and drive home the powerlessness of the area’s inhabitants. Gaona shows how the violence becomes a part of the landscape as much as the local sugarcane, as he charts the varying degrees to which people give in, or resist.” —Nicolas Rapold, Film Comment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1601596074373-BCMUJNFQOVDCEHKSLFPZ/Unknown.jpg Daily Recommendations SALVADOR ALLENDE A film by Patricio Guzmán (Chile, 2004, 100 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Ovid.tv, Vudu and iTunes A leftist revolutionary or a reformist democrat? A committed Marxist or a constitutionalist politician? An ethical and moral man or, as Richard Nixon called him, a 'son of a bitch'? In Salvador Allende, acclaimed Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzmán (The Battle of Chile and Chile, Obstinate Memory) returns to his native country thirty years after the 1973 military coup that overthrew Chile's Popular Unity government to examine the life of its leader, Salvador Allende, both as a politician and a man. Using rare archival footage, family photos, interviews with Allende's friends, professional colleagues, his daughters and other relatives as well as UP militants, workers, journalists, his personal secretary and Edward Korry, former U.S. Ambassador to Chile, Salvador Allende portrays the life, times and political formation of the Valparaiso-born doctor who was active in Socialist Party politics as a senator and who ran unsuccessfully for President three times before finally being elected in 1970. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1601596020082-8V60LTH1Y8HVSGV6RDH6/missbala_a_l.jpg Daily Recommendations MISS BALA A film by Gerardo Naranjo (Mexico, 2011, 113 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Hulu, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, YouTube, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu “One of the most exciting young talents around, the Mexican director Gerardo Naranjo (I’m Gonna Explode) approaches the hot-button topic of drug violence through the perspective of an unlikely, unwitting heroine: a Tijuana beauty pageant contestant (Stephanie Sigman) who stumbles into the path of ruthless cartel operatives and corrupt officials. Although inspired by a true story, Miss Bala avoids docudrama cliches and tabloid sensationalism, and instead evokes the pervasive climate of fear and confusion that has enveloped daily life in some increasingly lawless pockets of northern Mexico. Using long takes and fluid, precise camera work, Naranjo fashions a highly original thriller: an anguished and harrowing mood piece with an undertow of bleakly absurdist humor and moments of heart-stopping action.” —New York Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1601325668204-BYT7KXORNX010794BIID/Infancia_Clandestina.jpg Daily Recommendations CLANDESTINE CHILDHOOD / INFANCIA CLANDESTINA A film by Benjamín Avila (Argentina/Spain/Brazil, 2012, 110 min.

Juan’s parents are members of a left-wing political organization which is fighting against the Military Junta that rules the country. Because of their activities they are in constant danger of being captured by the oppressive government regime. But young Juan is still a child, and his world consists of his friends at school and his crush, Maria. He knows his family's survival is at stake and accepts this reality until one day he is told that they must flee again immediately, and leave his friends and Maria behind without an explanation. This is a story about militancy, undercover life, and love.

Santa—a country girl in her thirties who works on a farm—is assigned to the task. For three days in a row, Santa (played by Lola Amores) will sit in front of Andrés’ hut and keep watch on him. Santa and Andrés are as close as it gets to being true opposites and are not meant to like each other. What they cannot imagine, however, is that they have more things in common than they expect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1601168939539-DDXT29V64YPMMFYAEPDR/58eaf275a3faff7dcd547494ef3d5a2f.jpg Daily Recommendations SÓLO CON TU PAREJA A film by Alfonso Cuarón (Mexico, 1991, 94 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime “Before Alfonso Cuarón helmed the international sensation Y tu mamá también, he made his mark on Mexican cinema with the ribald and lightning-quick contemporary social satire Sólo con tu pareja. Don Juan–ish yuppie Tomás Tomás (Daniel Giménez Cacho, from Bad Education) spends his nights juggling so many beautiful women that he can’t keep their names straight—until one of his many conquests, a spurned nurse, gives him a taste of his own medicine. Beautifully filmed in widescreen by the inimitable Emmanuel Lubezki (The New World), Cuarón’s wildly successful feature debut (which has never been released in the U.S.) gave voice to a Mexican middle-class that had remained largely unseen onscreen, and surveys contemporary urban sexual mores with style to spare.” —Criterion Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600981576856-8MN8VK02KLFYUNGH385D/image-asset.jpeg Daily Recommendations IN THE PIT / EN EL HOYO A film by Juan Carlos Rulfo (Mexico, 2006, 84 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime Using state of the art digital filmmaking, "gorgeous time lapse sequences" (NY Newsday), and a "terrific soundtrack" (Time Out) made of a "magical montage of found sounds" (Chicago Sun-Times), Juan Carlos Rulfo's In the Pit is a powerful documentary about the personal struggles behind the construction of a massive elevated freeway. With lyricism and compassion, this Sundance Film Festival prize-winning film reveals the medieval nightmare underneath an ambitious utopian dream: Mexico City's Periférico Beltway, more than ten miles of elevated reinforced concrete, supported by massive towers, that has been planned to both soar above and link the city's densely gridlocked urban neighborhoods. But while the roadway is a spectacular miracle of modern architectural design, it comes with a human cost. A film of "unlikely beauty" (Variety), In the Pit lays bare "the secret human face of an inhuman world" (New York Times). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600814088241-4CCZI7VF0WAZBZKNWNIN/21602367071_8665b8dfda_z.jpg Daily Recommendations WORKERS A film by José Luis Valle (Mexico/Germany, 2013, 122 min.

And Lidia, she finds out that her employers will leave the entire heirloom to the dog. The fiction debut from Chile-born director José Luis Valle, this deadpan comedy is an impressive masterclass in emotional subtlety and sense of timing. Minimalist in capturing the inner worlds of each character, Workers offers a biting, urgent commentary on the alienating ethics of modern labor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600814228256-CHQCUF93N30RCL84BE7D/NeighboringSounds.jpg Daily Recommendations NEIGHBORING SOUNDS / O SOM AO REDOR A film by Kleber Mendonça Filho (Brazil, 2012, 131 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime, Vudu, YouTube, Google Play, iTunes “Set in a middle and upper middle class residential block in Recife, a city of over 4 millions in northeast Brazil, Kleber Mendonça Filho’s sharply observed debut feature lays bare the inner dynamics of Brazilian society. Behind a peaceful and comfortable façade is the collective fear of violence and crimes brought in by outsiders. Residents who enjoy a privileged life join forces to hire a security team to keep watch over the neighborhood. Fragmented vignettes piece together a complex world defined by class and racial disparity. With three features to date, including Aquarius (2016) and Bacurau (2019), Mendonça has firmly earned a reputation for his penetrating takes on Brazilian life.” —The Museum of Modern Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600814461968-6G8UXROWPI6JS6QWROXQ/FILM-3-El-Angel.jpg Daily Recommendations EL ÁNGEL A film by Luis Ortega (Argentina/Spain, 2018, 114 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Google Play “Carlitos’s blond curls and angelic blue eyes belie a confused and violent soul. From a young age, he has stolen just because he can. It’s a fascination he cannot shake, much to the chagrin of his loving and upstanding parents (Cécilia Roth and Luis Gnecco). When he meets Ramon (Chino Darín), the son of career criminals, the attraction he feels causes him to up the ante and engage in more serious criminal activity. Soon, the young men are killing. Loosely based on the real-life Argentine serial killer Carlos Robledo Puch, nicknamed the “Death Angel” for his innocent, cherubic good looks, this film by Luis Ortega presents a Carlitos that is not quite trustful of reality and is always performing. He walks and dances as though a camera were recording his every move. In fact, he calls himself a spy for god. It’s as though life were a game and danger merely a way of feeling everything more intensely. Splendidly paced and gorgeously photographed, El Ángel is a departure from the sparser nature of Ortega’s previous films, yet his attraction to outlaws remains. As we follow Carlitos (Lorenzo Ferro) on his stealing and killing sprees, we see there’s something almost innocent in his approach, as though he believes his actions don’t carry real, permanent consequences. Through this turbulent and confusing character, Ortega offers a meaningful reflection on how violence is glamourized on the screen.” —Toronto International Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600471052576-UFEXL3GJRYTCJ3I7B1FI/image-asset.jpeg Daily Recommendations TO KILL A MAN / MATAR A UN HOMBRE A film by Alejandro Fernández Almendras (Chile, 2014, 81 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Tubi, YouTube, iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Prime “Alejandro Fernández Almendras’ fascinating third film is based on a true story, making the unthinkable plausible. A subtle, yet impressive, psychological revenge thriller. When their rundown neighborhood is terrorized by a tyrannical delinquent and his gang, home doesn't feel safe anymore. Gentle forester Jorge stoically undergoes the mindless teasing, but his young adult son, frustrated by so much pacifism and passivity, argues back counter-productively. The family is driven crazy when threats are addressed to Jorge’s wife and beautiful teenage daughter. Tortured contemplation in his huge jungle workspace makes Jorge realise there is only one way out. Almendras has succeeded fabulously in conveying what feelings of powerlessness and the fear and anger that slowly drive you mad do to a person. Not about murder, but about what it is like To Kill a Man.” —Rotterdam International Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600223969625-X5F5JXVD5DE6CYPE5QTY/viaje_still.jpg Daily Recommendations VIAJE A film by Paz Fábrega (Costa Rica, 2015, 70 min.

Eschewing the fraudulent nature of traditional relationships, the pair embarks on a spur of the moment journey together that takes them to the forest. As they explore the beauty in the nature that surrounds them, they camp out under the stars, go on hikes, indulge in the passions of their encounter, and discuss their personal beliefs surrounding love, obligations, and attraction. Lensed in lush black-and-white cinematography amidst the gorgeous backdrop of the Costa Rican forest, an honest and genuine relationship story unfolds, lending a feeling of realism to their storybook romance in a refreshing and youthful way. This is a story about attraction and commitment for a generation whose understandings of personal freedoms and traditional limitations are more open to interpretation.” —Tribeca Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600471097737-H8W43VCFFTOPYD311ZTH/conducta-1.jpg Daily Recommendations BEHAVIOR / CONDUCTA A film by Ernesto Daranas (Cuba, 2014, 108 min.

In order to provide for the two of them, he raises carrier pigeons and trains fighting dogs with a man who may or may not be his biological father. School provides a stabilizing force in Chala's life, thanks to his close relationship with his spirited sixty-something teacher, Carmela. When the boy is sent off to live in a «re-education facility» and Carmela mounts a campaign to have him released, she becomes the target of a witch hunt spearheaded by a school board administrator who regards Carmela's permissive beliefs as incongruent with the new Cuba. But the idealistic, strong-willed woman remains defiant and manages to recruit allies from amongst her fellow teachers, leading to a conflict in which one boy's future reflects the systemic dynamics of contemporary Cuba. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600045018877-5H8GX2V19ZVEGMFKIKVA/Ten-Indie-Films-to-Watch-in-2015-MovieTheaterPrices-1280x720.jpg Daily Recommendations GÜEROS A film by Alonso Ruizpalacios (Mexico, 2014, 111 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Sling TV, YouTube, Google Play, Vudu, and iTunes “A months-long student strike at the National University throws roommates Sombra and Santos into a droll sort of limbo in their shabby apartment in Mexico City, whiling away the hours pining for the girl from the pirate radio show and tricking their neighbor’s daughter into helping them steal electricity. Their idiosyncratic routine is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Sombra’s teenage brother, Tomás, who has been exiled from his home by their mother following an incident involving a baby and a water balloon. The trio sets out on a road trip in search of Tomás’s hero, fabled folk-rock star Epigmenio Cruz, traversing across the city through perilous slums and the rebellious halls of the university to the ritzy nightlife downtown. Director Alonso Ruizpalacios arrives as a bold new voice in Mexican cinema with his energetic and imaginative feature debut—a cool, retro, black-and-white portrait of Mexico City and of three restless young men searching for a purpose and identity in a city of millions.” —Tribeca Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600044988057-GT9U0BWTMXDEPGYJIGAU/1.jpg Daily Recommendations VIOLA A film by Matías Piñeiro (Argentina, 2012, 65 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime, Vudu, YouTube, Google Play and iTunes “Matías Piñeiro is one of contemporary Argentine cinema’s most sensuous and sophisticated new voices. In his latest film, Viola, he ingeniously fashions out of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night a seductive roundelay among young actors and lovers in present-day Buenos Aires. Mixing melodrama with sentimental comedy, philosophical conundrum with matters of the heart, Viola bears all the signature traits of a Piñeiro film: serpentine camera movements and slippages of language, an elliptical narrative and a playful confusion of reality and artifice.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600044960941-5N1ITID2K2QOQGWTJVOJ/still_rachel_002-copy_WEB.jpg Daily Recommendations AUGUST WINDS / VENTOS DE AGOSTO A film by Gabriel Mascaro (Brazil, 2014, 77 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) Now streaming on Vudu, YouTube, iTunes, Google Play “Gabriel Mascaro’s first narrative work is a sultry, richly sensorial meditation on sex, death, and decay in the tropics. In a remote seaside village, a steamy love affair between a city girl (Dandara de Morais) and a country boy (Geová Manoel dos Santos) unfolds on a lush coconut farm—until their languor is interrupted by a chilling discovery. Though working from a script, Mascaro’s documentary impulse prevails in his attention to the tempestuous meteorology (the director himself plays a scientist researching the winds) and weather-beaten landscapes of coastal Brazil in the climate-change era. Through stunningly composed images, he creates a haunting portrait of a place where life can be washed away at any moment.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600045182523-VSF47J70LEO6VPBR85KL/LasOlas1.jpg Daily Recommendations THE WAVES / LAS OLAS A film by Adrián Biniez (Uruguay/Argentina, In Spanish with English subtitles, 2017, 88 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Mowies The third feature film by Argentine-born Uruguay-based filmmaker Adrián Biniez (Gigante, El Cinco) is a playful, imaginative, and existentialist time-traveling tale about a man’s misadventures. Exhausted after leaving work, Alfonso, a man in his late thirties, goes to the beach and dives into the sea. Coming to the surface, he finds himself on another beach, in another time. His parents are waiting for him, calling to him from the water’s edge. Alfonso sees and understands everything as an adult, even if they treat him like an 11 year old. So begins a fantastic, achronological voyage through the various holidays of his life, as he comes face to face with past girlfriends, teenage and childhood pals, his daughter, and his own loneliness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1599491244110-T8X8VMS4BBC8B56NV78X/glue.jpg Daily Recommendations GLUE A film by Alexis dos Santos (Argentina/UK, 2006, 115 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Mowies “In the extensive sub-genre of films about growth pains and the sexual awakening of young people, you need a good pedigree to come up with anything new. With minimal means, Alexis Dos Santos succeeds. With the money he was given for project development by the Hubert Bals Fund, Dos Santos set up a workshop, cast the protagonists, found some more money and shot digitally, and partly on Super8, in a windy corner of the desert in Patagonia in the town where he grew up. He found himself there in 1978 at the age of eight because his parents had to flee Buenos Aires for political reasons. One of the underlying themes in Glue is also the feeling that you're in the wrong place, augmented by the desire to be rebellious and a punk, but far from the possibilities of the big city, and far from kindred spirits. Atmospheric and acoustically shot, and wonderfully acted by the entirely young cast, Glue apparently effortlessly evokes the many ambivalent feelings of puberty. We see the small world through the eyes of 15-year-old Lucas. His parents' relationship is unstable at best, but he doesn't want to think about that too much. Together with his best friend Nacho he makes friends with the wayward girl Andrea. They lead a life of hanging around and rocking - for the connoisseurs think of the Violent Femmes before they learnt to play. And, of course, they go through the early stages of sex and drugs, or what passes for these.” —New Directors / New Films https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1599238280795-FO6NMBG2FT9S1FLDPJXU/juan-de-los-muertos.jpg Daily Recommendations JUAN OF THE DEAD / JUAN DE LOS MUERTOS A film by Alejandro Brugués (Cuba, 2011, 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on YouTube, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, Amazon Prime Video “Juan is a survivor. He survived Cuba’s 1975 intervention in Angola, the 1980 Mariel boatlift and the island’s Special Period following the collapse of the Soviet Union. He WILL survive this new crisis: a pandemic that’s turning the residents of Havana into zombies. Juan will not let an opportunity go to waste and, alongside trigger happy Lazaro and his son California, opens a zombie exterminating business. Alejandro Brugués’ second-feature may wear its influences on its sleeve (its title is an obvious callback to Edgar Wright’s equally funny zombie masterpiece) but in its heady mix of gore, social and political satire, and affection for its ragtag warriors, Juan of the Dead, an official selection of the 47th Chicago International Film Festival, is the legitimate heir to George Romero’s throne. Juan of the Dead is also a celebration of resilience and of that very Cuban concept of resolver, of making do with what you have. Given our current crisis, we should all be like Juan.” —Chicago Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1599238397743-G6Y8RYGFZQZZ8QDJ9YCA/cronos.jpg Daily Recommendations CRONOS A film by Guillermo de Toro (Mexico, 1993, 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on The Criterion Channel, HBO Max, YouTube, Google Play, Amazon Prime, and iTunes “Guillermo del Toro made an auspicious and audacious feature debut with Cronos, a highly unorthodox tale about the seductiveness of the idea of immortality. Kindly antiques dealer Jesús Gris (Federico Luppi) happens upon an ancient golden device in the shape of a scarab, and soon finds himself the possessor and victim of its sinister, addictive powers, as well as the target of a mysterious American named Angel (a delightfully crude and deranged Ron Perlman). Featuring marvelous special makeup effects and the haunting imagery for which del Toro has become world-renowned, Cronos is a dark, visually rich, and emotionally captivating fantasy.” —The Criterion Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1599238478729-YCPQ9R4QKLVDSWDS9R8P/TheOtherSideoftheWall1.jpg Daily Recommendations THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL / AL OTRO LADO DEL MURO A film by Pau Ortiz (Mexico/Spain, 2017, 68 min.

While engaging in frequent conversations with a parrot, she’s always observed by a large portion of raw meat: her erotic relationship with it illustrates metaphorically the arduous realities of agriculture in Brazil. Júlio Bressane is a major figure of Brazil’s underground Cinema Marginal, a radical movement that developed in opposition to Cinema Novo. His recent work is an eloquent, eccentric riddle: a woman’s one-way conversation with a parrot that acts as a reflection between memory and prophecy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1598743133141-KP12GII1K58X7SL5EPKN/open-cage-1200x600-5.jpg Daily Recommendations OPEN CAGE / LOS BAÑISTAS A film by Max Zunino (Mexico, 2014, 83 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Mowies “Open Cage takes a subtle and ultimately hopeful look into one of society’s mayor issues: the abandonment to its youth and senior populations. Among those affected when the economy collapses are rebel teenager Flavia and her elderly and grumpy neighbor Martín. Outside the building there is a camp of protesters among whom human values still govern coexistence. However, its members have a serious problem: they need a shower. Flavia, Martín, and their neighbors down the street will learn to relate to each other, not only to survive the crisis, but to rediscover the meaning of their lives. “Juan Carlos Colombo as Martín and Sofía Espinosa as Flavia, carry the film with incredible chemistry. With Open Cage, Max Zunino proposes an optimistic solution to a conflict that may appear hard to solve, but that may be lessened by calling on small individual changes that allow us to get along better with others.” —Pragda https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1598742785558-TQ9WT7WVNMUY6W3G1ATS/The-Summit-1600x900-c-default.jpg Daily Recommendations THE SUMMIT / LA CUMBRE A film by Santiago Mitre (Argentina/France/Spain, 2017, 114 min.

The film tells the story of an anxious young mother and her precocious daughter who flee Buenos Aires for the temporary seclusion of a ramshackle cottage on a remote beach. What begins as a childhood idyll is soon contaminated by the larger political crisis. Markovitch draws on his own experiences to capture the lacunae of childhood’s social and psychological worlds in this exquisitely acted and atmospheric drama about innocence in tumultuous times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1598743001247-GYZ4U5A0IYZZS0NKR750/image-w1280.jpg Daily Recommendations ARABY / ARÁBIA A film by João Dumans and Affonso Uchoa (Brazil, 2017, 97 min.

The film shifts into road-movie mode to recount the story of Cristiano, an ex-con and eternal optimist who journeys across Brazil in search of work, enduring no shortage of economic hardship but gaining an equal amount of self-knowledge.

The sky is so translucent that it allows them to see right to the boundaries of the universe. The Atacama is also a place where the harsh heat of the sun keeps human remains intact: those of Pre-Columbian mummies; 19th century explorers and miners; and the remains of political prisoners, "disappeared" by the Chilean army after the military coup of September, 1973. So while astronomers examine the most distant and oldest galaxies, at the foot of the mountains, women, surviving relatives of the disappeared whose bodies were dumped here, search, even after twenty-five years, for the remains of their loved ones, to reclaim their families' histories. Melding the celestial quest of the astronomers and the earthly one of the women, Nostalgia for the Light is a gorgeous, moving, and deeply personal odyssey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1598045398331-U1YDQQWOKOGKL41Z7K3M/image-asset.jpeg Daily Recommendations THE SECOND MOTHER / QUE HORAS ELA VOLTA?

In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on DA Films Americas “Perched on the bloated banks of the Usumacinta River in Chiapas, Mexico, El Remolino was forged decades ago by five families who saw promise in the area’s dense jungle and lightly mountainous landscape. Today, the town struggles to keep its school open, its farms dry enough to yield viable crops, and its livestock from drowning in the rainy season deluge. While many have fled, strikingly graceful and stoic siblings Pedro and Esther Benitez remain to conquer not only the flooded terrain but also the ghosts of a painful shared childhood. “Pedro dreams of finding a loving husband and adopting a child. Esther wants to resurrect her studies and see her children graduate into thriving careers. Considerations of feminine identity and power, memory, and the influence of family poignantly converge in director Laura Herrero Garvin’s languid and beautifully filmed observation. This is a documentary shot with such dreamy yet acute depth and clarity that one can see almost anything in the water’s reflection.” —Full Frame Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1597631826555-H2PAP38BQE5U4I5Q2ENM/el-clan-02.jpg Daily Recommendations THE CLAN / EL CLAN A film by Pablo Trapero (Argentina, 2015, 110 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on YouTube, Google Play, Vudu, Amazon Prime, iTunes Old habits die hard: The “disappearances” that marked the Videla regime in Argentina continued after the dictator’s fall in 1981, but the motive changed from politics to money. Arquimedes Puccio (Guillermo Francella, brilliantly cold-blooded here), kidnapped wealthy men and women and held them for ransom in his home, using domineering control over his family and - for a time—the tacit protection of police to do it. Winner of the Silver Lion for Best Director at the Venice Film Festival, this riveting true story directed by Pablo Trapero boasts great period detail (including a truly inspired soundtrack) and shocking violence, and was a huge box office hit in Argentina. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1596909152575-PIY3QF1E0M9B12GTQTLD/virus-tropical-2.jpg Daily Recommendations VIRUS TROPICAL A film by Santiago Caicedo (Colombia/Ecuador, 2017, 97 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on MUBI and Amazon Prime “In Virus Tropical, director Santiago Caicedo takes biographical nuance to a new level using animation as his creative medium. Framed by a discovery of key relationships within a family and also oneself, this gripping film follows the life of Paola, born and raised in a somewhat traditional Colombian family — if you consider a father who is a priest, a mother who is a psychic, and completely distinct, but relatable siblings as “traditional.” Thanks to an empowering female community and her unique feminine lens, Paola strives for independence and a firm sense of self in the face of sweeping stereotypes. Through panning images across the years, the black-and-white animation creates a timeless feel, and the film’s interconnecting stories will appease your eyeballs and feed your spirit with giggles and tears.” —Toronto International Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1596909295934-CTRP9C1YHS0RXJ3N2ZGV/PizzaBirraFaso.jpg Daily Recommendations PIZZA, BEER, AND CIGARETTES / PIZZA, BIRRA, FASO A film by Bruno Stagnaro and Adrián Caetano (Argentina, 1998, 80 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Netflix “Bruno Stagnaro and Adrián Caetano’s milestone debut feature heralded the deeply influential New Argentine Cinema, fostered the careers of a vast generation of international filmmakers, and fueled the Latin American cinema renaissance of the past two decades. Rarely seen in the United States, Pizza, Beer, Cigarrettes is set in the Buenos Aires criminal underworld, and follows two impoverished teens who graduate from petty theft to armed robbery, though they’re incompetent at both.” —Neighboring Scenes, Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1596909491950-C3ON9HVX3A28WWN47WX8/tumblr_mch6xrtkUQ1qb1yy2o1_1280.jpg Daily Recommendations NORA’S WILL / CINCO DÍAS SIN NORA A film by Mariana Chenillo (Mexico, 2010, 92 min.

In Spanish with English subtitle) Now streaming on Ovid.tv and Kanopy Adriana was always director Lissette Orozco's favorite aunt. A confident woman who had settled in Australia, one day in 2007 she is suddenly arrested while visiting her family in Chile and accused of having worked for dictator Pinochet’s notorious secret police, DINA. As the aunt denies these accusations, her niece sets out to investigate Adriana’s history, managing the tough balancing act of maintaining her role as both niece and filmmaker. “Raw and compelling… a brave documentary” (Jay Weissberg, Variety) and Winner of a Special Jury Mention at the Cinema Tropical Awards, Orozco’s extremely personal debut feature is a riveting personal journey that serves as a timely account of lies and self-deception, both within a family and a nation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1596594439167-IZGDGWJ44KDPRIBTGPZ0/1460709282editor_1287138278MDI__PHOTO_12.jpg Daily Recommendations MARIMBAS FROM HELL / MARIMBAS DEL INFIERNO A film by Julio Hernández Cordón (Guatemala/Mexico/France, 2010, 75 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime “Straddling the line between documentary and fiction, Hernández Cordón’s second feature tells the story of the improbable artistic collaboration between Don Alfonso, a homeless marimba player, and Blacko, a pioneer of Guatemalan heavy metal music. Both meet thanks to Chiquilin, a young outlaw who casually describes his escape from prison as he helps the musicians find funding for their project. The characters, alternately moving and funny, play themselves in this satire about the hardships of making art in Guatemala.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1596556033621-JIPAJ1VDT8659MBZRB4V/image-w1280.jpg Daily Recommendations POST TENEBRAS LUX A film by Carlos Reygadas (Mexico/France/Germany/Holland, 2012, 115 min. In Spanish, English and French with English subtitles) Now streaming on YouTube, Google Play, Vudu, and Amazon Prime Winner of the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival, Post Tenebras Lux (“light after darkness”), ostensibly the story of an upscale, urban family whose move to the Mexican countryside results in domestic crises and class friction, is a stunningly photographed, impressionistic psychological portrait of a family and their place within the sublime, unforgiving natural world. Carlos Reygadas conjures a host of unforgettable, ominous images: a haunting sequence at dusk as Reygadas’s real-life daughter wanders a muddy field and farm animals loudly circle and thunder and lightning threaten; a glowing-red demon gliding through the rooms of a home; a husband and wife visiting a swingers’ bathhouse with rooms named after famous philosophers. By turns entrancing and mystifying, Post Tenebras Lux palpably explores the primal conflicts of the human condition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1596594757892-WPPB8KMEEB8Z6Z0RI45S/tile.jpg Daily Recommendations LOS LOBOS A film by Samuel Kishi Leopo (Mexico, 2019, 94 min. In Spanish, English and Cantonese with English subtitles) Now streaming on HBO Max“Eight year old Max and his younger brother Leo don't have much, but they have each other and their mother Lucía. And they share a dream as well: To visit Disneyland one day. The family has recently emigrated to the USA from Mexico, and while Lucía tries to finance their new life by doing odd jobs, the two brothers spend their days in their sparsely furnished one-room flat. The walls of the room, which they are forbidden to leave, become a projection screen for imaginative adventures and open a window on their new life. Director Samuel Kishi Leopo recalls aspects of his own childhood in Los Lobos and resituates them in a currently highly charged context – brutally honest and yet poetic, melancholic and full of hope.” —Berlin Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1596594907663-M99UAUZ8TO5MAGCIA6G8/image-asset.jpeg Daily Recommendations MACHUCA A film by Andrés Wood (Chile/Spain/UK, 2004, 120 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime and Kanopy Released to widespread acclaim in Latin America and internationally, Machuca explores Chile’s bloody 1973 coup through the astonishingly intimate coming-of-age story of a pair of 12-year-old boys. From opposite extremes of society, Gonzalo (Matías Quer) and Pedro Machuca (Ariel Mateluna) form and unlikely friendship as politics rip their world apart. Machuca is not just a political drama, but a poignant coming-of-age film, with perfectly pitched performances by the young actors, its story drawn from the filmmaker’s childhood. Machuca—one of the first narrative Chilean films to deal with the coup, and a hit at home—was another step in Chile’s slow reconciliation with its historical past. Director and co-writer Andrés Wood, himself eight when Pinochet seized power, resurrects searing images of life—and tons of innocence—amidst a crumbling democracy. Cinematographer Miguel Juan Littin’s arresting visuals are accompanied by a lively, evocative soundtrack, adding further vibrancy to this unforgettable story. The film premiered at Cannes’ Director’s Fortnight and has won numerous festival prizes including the Audience Award at the Vancouver International Film Festival. Machuca was Chile’s official entry for the 2005 Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1596556386677-WTJLQ4YWIFK9Y6O8XHWI/14369.large.jpg Daily Recommendations DIDN'T DO IT FOR LOVE A film by Monika Treut (Germany, 1997, 80 min. In English and Spanish with English subtitles) With: Eva Norvind, Jan Baracz, Rene Cardona Jr., José Luis Cuevas, Nicolá Echevarría, Juan Ferrara, José Flores, Juan José Gurrola. Now streaming on Vimeo on Demand, presented as part of Anthology Film Archives’ dual retrospective ‘Female Misbehaviour: The Films of Monika Treut and Elfi Mikesch’ available through August 4. A fascinating look into the incredible life of sexual revolutionary Eva Norvind, alias Mistress Ava Taurel, born Eva Johanne Chegodaieva Skonskaya, the daughter of a Russian prince and a Finnish sculptress in Trondheim, Norway. The film recounts the phases in her adventurous life-story: from the early success as a showgirl in Paris and Québec, as a Nordic Marilyn Monroe in the Mexican B-movies of the sixties, and finally, as the most famous dominatrix in New York during the Eighties. Eva Norvind studied Forensic Psychology to be able to help sexual offenders as well as a way of searching for the dark secret of her own sexuality. It is the story of an odyssey through the wilderness of sexuality that has not yet reached its destination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1596556119769-40SX8ASR2YDQZIA3AG08/175f1472-1dd4-48f9-be71-a2d6d6038b4f.jpg Daily Recommendations AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN / DE NUEVO OTRA VEZ A film by Romina Paula (Argentina, 2019, 84 min. In Spanish and German with English subtitles) Now streaming on MUBI “Moving freely between documentary and scripted drama, Argentine novelist, actor, and playwright Romina Paula’s debut feature is a rich and surprising personal work exploring the poignant emotional landscape of motherhood. Paula—who recently appeared in La Flor—plays a fictionalized version of herself, a mother who returns to her childhood home in Buenos Aires, which ignites memories and feelings of her life before starting a family. Performing alongside her real mother and three-year-old son, Paula creates an intimate, shape-shifting film full of affection and wisdom.” —Neighboring Scenes, Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1596556206064-IE47BG8BOECKWQS4PTIB/principal_72_0.jpg Daily Recommendations IN THE INTENSE NOW / NO INTENSO AGORA A film by João Moreira Salles (Brazil, 2017, In Portuguese, French, and Czech with English subtitles) Now streaming on OVID.tv “In the Intense Now immerses itself in the excitement and heady idealism of the ‘60s. Inspired by Chris Marker’s meditative essays on political radicalism, João Moreira Salles brilliantly collages archival materials from Paris ’68, Prague Spring (and the Soviet invasion), and the Chinese Cultural Revolution. He explores how the intensity of thinking one is revolutionizing the world can feel a lot like the ecstasy of falling in love. And when that moment fades, life’s quotidian realities can become a hard pill to swallow. This is a film that puts those profoundly significant events of 50 years ago into something like proportion. It’s a movie for everyone who ever marched for civil rights, shouted an anti-war slogan, or expected the women’s movement to usher in a brave new world.” —Film Forum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1595953754235-QGMOPXZ051TJW9O63S4H/Time_Share-310755884-large.jpg Daily Recommendations TIME SHARE / TIEMPO COMPARTIDO A film by Sebastián Hofmann (Mexico/Netherlands, 2017, 96 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Netflix “Pedro and Eva arrive at the Vistamar mega-resort to “heal” their lives. Settling into a private villa with their young son, they’re surprised to find another family at the door; a clerical mistake has left them double-booked. The families make do, attending the resort’s time-share seminar and enjoying its pools and activities, and they are catered to by the staff of “leisure experts,” including Andres and Gloria, an estranged, middle-aged couple. While Gloria advances her career, Andres toils in a laundry job, dubious of the resort’s new corporate ownership. As Pedro becomes paranoid that his family is being pried away from him, he and Andres band together to expose the sinister forces at work in the tropical paradise. Propelled by a wry, subversive tone and an unnerving aesthetic, Sebastián Hofmann (Halley) cleverly lures us into his dark imagination via the sunny Vistamar, where paradise is not only within reach—it’s on sale. Time Share offers a haunting vision of humanity, lounging by the pool as an insidious corporate organism callously dangles the false promise of happiness and healing. Enjoy your stay!” —Sundance Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1595965323912-86UQT9A4Q8SADNFMKAPW/09APOSTATE-videoSixteenByNineJumbo1600.jpg Daily Recommendations THE APOSTATE / EL APÓSTATA A film by Federico Veiroj (Spain/France/Uruguay, 2015, 80 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Vudu, YouTube, Google Play, iTunes Netflix, and Tubi “With wry humor and deep conviction, Uruguayan filmmaker Federico Veiroj (A Useful Life) observes a young Spaniard’s maddening efforts to abandon the Catholic Church. Petitioning the local bishop in Madrid to hand over his baptismal records, the philosophy student is soon confronted with a stubborn bureaucracy and comically agonized tests of his fidelity and patience. Scenes of pithy theological discussion (performed by the film’s excellent ensemble cast) are interspersed with oneiric flights of imagination, cohering to produce a work that is by turns seriously philosophical and irreverently funny. While Veiroj’s tone may be more gently ironic than that of Luis Buñuel (his spiritual forebear), The Apostate nonetheless traces in bracing fashion the competing forces of conformity and rebellion, spiritual yearning and carnal desire, at war within us all.” —New Directors / New Films https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1595965180551-PCP6Q9XV4ENU41A946DI/THE%252BMAID_LA%252BNANA%252B1.jpg Daily Recommendations THE MAID / LA NANA A film by Sebastián Silva (Chile, 2009, 95 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on iTunes, Amazon Prime, and Sundance Now “At the age of 41, Raquel has already spent over 20 years working for the Valdes family as a live-in maid. She knows each member of the household intimately, and they are fond of her. Raquel’s devotion to the family is absolute, as is the unmistakable boundary between employer and employee. This kind of relationship—equally familial, amiable, and unnatural—is commonplace in many Latin American households, and masks a deeply rooted class divide. Feisty, grumpy, motherly, and humorous, Raquel lives in the center of the film, rather than in the background where a maid usually ‘belongs,’ making Sebastián Silva’s second feature especially tender and perceptive.” —The Museum of the Modern Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1595965997805-1BSWPPFQ5RFNCHSQGOHZ/Juana-a-los-12...jpg Daily Recommendations ABOUT TWELVE / JUANA A LOS 12 A film by Martín Shanly (Argentina, 2014, 80 min. In English and Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on MUBI The problem facing Juana, a 12-year-old girl, is imperceptible to others. She might even be even unaware of it herself, but it is latent in every shot of Martín Shanly’s debut feature: Juana fails easily. She performs poorly at her private British school in the outskirts of Buenos Aires and even worse in her social life among friends and family. About 12 nurtures a rare bitterness in its particular mixture of uncomfortable comedy and tempered tragedy. In the depiction of female bodies out-of-sync with the world they inhabit, Shanly’s film successfully blooms as an odd cousin to Todd Haynes’s Safe and Todd Solondz’s Welcome to the Dollhouse. The lead performance by Rosario Shanly—the director’s sister—transcends masks thanks to a mise-en-scène that manages to be as frail and mysterious as its main character. Juana’s inadequacy to deal with the most basic social rules turns her apparently passive behavior into an intimate revolutionary act, a silent cry of resistance that is both funny and piercing. Juana is a gentle girl, a soul maybe too beautiful for this world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1595345513034-11TIS26MQN6NGMAGJ54E/ytumamatambienhd_pub.jpg Daily Recommendations Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN A film by Alfonso Cuarón (Mexico, 2001, In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on the Criterion Channel, iTunes, Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Sling TV “This smash road comedy from Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuarón is that rare movie to combine raunchy subject matter and emotional warmth. Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna shot to international stardom as a pair of horny Mexico City teenagers from different classes who, after their girlfriends jet off to Italy for the summer, are bewitched by a gorgeous older Spanish woman (Maribel Verdú) they meet at a wedding. When she agrees to accompany them on a trip to a faraway beach, the three form an increasingly intense and sensual alliance that ultimately strips them both physically and emotionally bare. Shot with elegance and dexterity by the great Emmanuel Lubezki, Y tu mamá también is a funny and moving look at human desire.” —The Criterion Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1595201036046-TL9HPVBAGM5NMYW7TRQY/Jesus1.jpg Daily Recommendations JESÚS A film by Fernando Guzzoni (Chile/France/Germany/Colombia, Greece, 2016, 83 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Vudu, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Google Play, iTunes, and Tubi “Jesús, an arrogant, third-rate Justin Bieber-type, has essentially dropped out of high school and lives in an apartment with his fellow boy band mates. One night, he and his bros get really drunk and beat another teen so badly that he falls into a coma and dies. With the police eager to find the culprit or culprits, Jesús’s friends immediately turn on him, which leaves only his widowed father to help. Although their relationship has been strained, his dad goes to extremes to protect him. Exquisitely shot, and moodily lit, this tense thriller will keep you guessing about the outcome until the final frame.” —Neighboring Scenes, Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1595201157436-6APNIUMU0I3XMU3H72E0/image-asset.jpg Daily Recommendations FAT, BALD, SHORT MAN / GORDO, CALVO Y BAJITO A film by Carlos Osuna (Colombia, 2011, 97 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Tubi “Antonio—the fat, bald, and short man of the title—is a functionary in a notary office in Bogota, Colombia, a middle-aged virgin whose life has become a pitiable routine. As alone as a character in an Edward Hopper painting, Antonio suffers the indifference of society and the abusive, macho humor of his co-workers, until the day a new executive director comes to run the office. Señor Enriquez is as short, fat, and bald as Antonio, but clearly unafraid to be a success. The presence of Enriquez challenges Antonio’s belief that he is destined to be a failure and presents him with the terrifying possibility of confronting his own fears and desires. Beautifully mixing rotoscope animation—used in Richard Linklater’s Waking Life and Through a Scanner Darkly—with other two and three-dimensional techniques, first-time director Carlos Osuna puts us inside Antonio’s sad and beautiful inner world to tell a moving universal story of one man’s struggle to be himself.” —Museum of Fine Arts, Houston https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1595203144497-A3UIXYZSA8Y2Q2RQGWX4/TheSharks1.jpg Daily Recommendations THE SHARKS / LOS TIBURONES A film by Lucía Garibaldi (Uruguay/Argentina/Spain, 2019, 80 min.

The film tells the story of 14-year-old Rosina (played by the wonderful newcomer Romina Bentancur), who lives in a quiet beach resort rumored to be plagued by sharks. Upon meeting the older Joselo, Rosina begins to circle him, as if inspired by the area’s mysterious predators.

In Spanish and English with English subtitles) Now streaming on Netflix “Extravagant Puerto Rican astrologer, psychic, and gender nonconforming legend Walter Mercado charmed the world for over 30 years with his televised horoscopes. Equal parts Oprah, Liberace, and Mr. Rogers, Walter was a celebrated daily part of Latin culture—until one day in 2007 he mysteriously disappeared. Over a decade later, the filmmakers find Walter and invite us into his home and interior world as he prepares to restore his legacy in the public eye. “The film explores Walter’s complex story from the rural sugarcane fields of Puerto Rico to international astrology superstardom, rising above homophobia and the heteronormative beliefs of Latin society with a message of love and hope. From Latinx co-directors Kareem Tabsch and Cristina Costantini (Science Fair, Festival Favorite Award at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival), Mucho Mucho Amor is a love letter to Walter Mercado. The filmmakers, who grew up watching him with their abuelitos, craft a film with levity and a playful spirit. Light-years ahead of his time, Walter has become a nostalgic cult icon of self-expression and positivity for the gender-fluid youth of today.” —Sundance Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1595202678261-NZWHRZWOXCUVKFDBOLXK/NS_WaitingForTheCarnival_03-1-1600x900-c-default.jpg Daily Recommendations WAITING FOR THE CARNIVAL / ESTOU ME GUARDANDO PARA QUANDO O CARNAVAL CHEGAR A film by Marcelo Gomes (Brazil, 2019, 86 min.

Inspired by the American independent movement of the 1990s, Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll offer a unique take on the slacker lifestyle with 25 Watts. Beginning on a Saturday morning in Montevideo, the film follows Leche, Javi, and Seba as they toss back drinks and avoid work or responsibility. Set over the course of 24 hours, the low-budget black-and-white film maintains a mellow yet probing attitude as it explores a particular neighborhood and its bizarre cast of characters. 25 Watts offers a rare cinematic glimpse into urban Uruguay through the eyes of those who know it best, the guys who don’t have anything better to do than bum around the place they call home.” —Facets Cinémathèque https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1594003984479-9ROY1YZRF3AQYKZUQWHJ/Huezo_Tiniest-Place_005_1200.jpg Daily Recommendations THE TINIEST PLACE / EL LUGAR MÁS PEQUEÑO A film by Tatiana Huezo (Mexico, 2011, 104 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on OVID.tv “On the surface The Tiniest Place is the story of Cinquera, a village literally wiped off the official map during El Salvador's 12-year civil war. But on a deeper level it is a story about the ability to rise, to rebuild and reinvent oneself after a tragedy. Holding the past and present in focus together, the film takes us to the tiny village nestled in the mountains amidst the humid Salvadoran jungle, while villagers, survivors of the war's massacres, recount their journey home at war's end. When they first returned their village no longer existed. Nevertheless they decided to stay. And over the years as they worked the land, built new homes and started new families, the people of Cinquera learned to live with sorrow. The Tiniest Place juxtaposes scenes of contemporary village life, of Cinquera's remarkable renaissance, with stories of the war - how conflict arose, civil war erupted, and hopes for liberation turned to struggles for survival. 'Don't cry when they kill me' a mother recalls her 14-year old daughter telling her before running away to fight with the rebel army. And though the village's history is always visible - in an elaborate memorial for the dead, or the persistent tremor of a survivor's hand, towards the end of The Tiniest Place we too are returned to the present. A cow gives birth, a high school marching band plays, and children walk to school in the rain. We see that, if Cinquera is reemerging, it is through the strength and deep love of its inhabitants.” —OVID.tv https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1593901673117-OD44VXCIR9WTMVNAS9M8/WildTales-2015-1.jpg Daily Recommendations WILD TALES / RELATOS SALVAJES A film by Damián Szifron (Argentina/Spain, 2014, 122 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Available for streaming on YouTube, Google Play, Amazon, Vudu, iTunes, Fandango Now Inequality, injustice and the demands of the world we live in cause stress and depression for many people. Some of them, however, explode. This is a movie about those people. Vulnerable in the face of a reality that shifts and suddenly turns unpredictable, the characters of Wild Tales cross the thin line that divides civilization and barbarism. A lover's betrayal, a return to the repressed past and the violence woven into everyday encounters drive the characters to madness as they cede to the undeniable pleasure of losing control. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1593709269122-UKOROTR79J7YHNAU4PIX/La-nacion-clandestina-The-Secret-Nation-Jorge-Sanjines-Ukamau-1989-Production-still.jpg Daily Recommendations THE SECRET NATION / LA NACIÓN CLANDESTINA A film by Jorge Sanjinés (Bolivia/Spain, 119 min. In Aymara and Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Vimeo Winner of the Golden Shell for Best Film at the 1989 San Sebastián Film Festival and eight years in the making with a cast of hundreds of Aymara people, Jorge Sanjinés powerful film The Secret Nation / La nación clandestina is a profound depiction at power, corruption, resistance and redemption and landmark film in Bolivian cinema. “Set against the turbulent backdrop of a military coup, the film follows Sebastian Maisman (Reynaldo Yujra), who returns to his former Aymara village after life in the city but ultimately disgraces his community by collaborating with the corrupt government and embezzling aid money. As a rite of expiation, he decides to journey to his homeland once more and enact the ancient Jacha Tata Danzanti, a ceremony in which the performer dances himself to death as a sacrificial offering. This series of events is told through a darting, elliptical mode of continuity, inspired by the Aymara’s cyclical notion of time.” —Light Industry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1593703591279-UFTZ6LUKTO8NB1W6KHZ7/ExtraordinaryStories1.jpg Daily Recommendations EXTRAORDINARY STORIES / HISTORIAS EXTRAORDINARIAS A film by Mariano Llinás (Argentina, 2008, 245 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Currently streaming on Projectr, Part I (83 min.), Part II (81 min.) and Part III (90 min.) Mariano Llinás is one of the world’s most audacious directors—evidenced alone by his singular 14-hour epic La Flor. But his ambition was clear from the start, with this endlessly engrossing feature. A sensation in his home country of Argentina and finally available to own in the U.S., Extraordinary Stories plays out as a series of nested Borgesian narratives that zigzag across different characters, locations, and genres. Thick with incident and ironic twists, this novelistic 18-chapter experience refuses easy resolutions to its many mysterious tales but supplies satisfaction at every turn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1593703438528-FG5K6R9IPOIRHXUC27A9/25427385.jpg Daily Recommendations LET IT BURN / DIZ A ELA QUE ME VIU CHORAR A film by Maíra Bühler (Brazil, 2019, 82 min.

Employing elegant photography, the filmmaker reveals the tragic human stories of his individuals full of loneliness and heartbreak who nevertheless fight for life in solidarity.” —Neighboring Scenes, Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1593464442170-6CBB3C14QWZ1Q6WAFF5Q/108.jpg Daily Recommendations 108 / CUCHILLO DE PALO A film by Renate Costa (Paraguay, 2010, 91 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on OVID.tv “When Rodolfo Costa was found naked on the floor of his home in Paraguay, he had been dead for days. Though ostensibly jobless, he had mysteriously amassed a small fortune. He also had a secret alias-Hector Torres-and a secret life. At the time, Renate Costa Perdomo was a young girl. Asked to select her uncle's burial garb, she found his closet empty. Surely the lively, colorfully-dressed Rodolfo she knew could not, as those around her claimed, have died of sadness. In her powerful debut feature, which unfolds like a mystery novel, Costa Perdomo investigates the shadowy circumstances of Rodolfo's death. Witnesses and clues gently reveal Rodolfo's true identity as a persecuted gay man and the terrifying "108" homosexual blacklists that ruined lives, careers, and families. The film is also a fascinating portrait of the relationship between the filmmaker, who has left Paraguay and now lives in Spain, and her now-divorced father, Pedro Costa, who remains in the family blacksmithing shop. 108 is a moving illustration of the impact that the right-wing dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner, who ruled Paraguay from 1954 to 1989, had on the so-called "108"s living in the country as experienced by a single Paraguayan gay man and his family.” —OVID.tv https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1593520367983-PMOMH2F9ZY849QVFE4I5/no_dress_code_required_-_still_2_-_h_2017.jpg Daily Recommendations NO DRESS CODE REQUIRED / ETIQUETA NO RIGUROSA A film by Cristina Herrera Bórquez (Mexico, 2017, 92 min.

As their struggle gets complicated and their case becomes public—winning them both allies and enemies—they become improbable media cause célèbres.

Emerson, the young kidnapper, is one of those island people, and he has a passionate wish: to make a film about his own life. His radical solution to help achieve this leads to a film about both himself and his hostage, who reenact their lives. When real life beyond the camera increasingly shapes the narrative of the film, things start to get out of hand.

He also encounters crocodiles—but is not afraid—and makes friends with a feisty wild egret, a migratory bird, that he names Blanquita.

Stuck fending off bullies and over-protective parents, Leonardo spends his days allowing his best friend Giovana to drag him around town. Being blind has always been an inconvenience for Leonardo, but his angsty adolescence gets a lift when the handsome and smooth-talking Gabriel turns down numerous offers from ogling girls to hang with Leonardo after school. The longer they spend together, the more apparent their shared attraction becomes – not just to them but to a spurned Giovana as well. As social pressure mounts on both to fit within their confined social boxes, the two must decide whether to ignore their feelings or to throw caution to the wind and admit that they might actually be falling in love.” —NewFest: the New York Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1592880356458-0UCPQBOYNDMZHACVQZCG/tfi_61bd0a085a3d51a092483065ee6576ba.jpg Daily Recommendations BLACK MEXICANS / LA NEGRADA A film by Jorge Pérez Solano (Mexico, 2018, 100 min.

When Ocho (Juan Barberini), a 30-something Argentine poet on vacation in Barcelona, spots Javi (Ramón Pujol), a Spaniard from Berlin, from the balcony of his Airbnb, the attraction is subtle but persistent. After a missed connection on the beach, a third chance encounter escalates to a seemingly random hookup. But are these two merely beautiful strangers in a foreign city or are they part of each other’s histories—and maybe even their destinies? Castro deliberately parses out mystery after mystery, leading the audience on a journey of discovery as the two leading men discover themselves and each other.

Everything changes when he’s invited to the Aztec, a legendary Mexico City nightclub where he discovers the underground nightlife scene—post-punk, sexually fluid, and fueled by drugs. Carlos’s awakening will challenge his relationship with his best friend, Gera, the brother of his crush, Rita, while helping him discover his passion for experimental art and lead him into adulthood.

A unique exploration of self-discovery and activism, featuring a diverse collection of subjects that include LGBTQ advocates, business owners, sex workers, and a boisterous group of drag performers who call themselves The Doll House, Mala Mala portrays a fight for personal and community acceptance paved with triumphant highs and devastating lows. Through riveting cinematography that encapsulates the candy-colored, vivacious personalities as well as their frequently dark personal experiences, directors Antonio Santini and Dan Sickles dynamically present the passion and hardships reflective of this distinctively binary human experience.” —Liza Domnitz, Tribeca Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1592322981075-GKU01DLEZLYQVL92FL5V/f1814ebb-c12d-4f05-88da-6fab6231c136.jpg Daily Recommendations BIXA TRAVESTY A film by Kiko Goifman & Claudia Priscilla (Brazil, 2018, 75 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) Stream on Vimeo on Demand and Amazon Prime Video “Linn da Quebrada is a black transwoman from impoverished periurban São Paulo; she is also a pop performer who raises her voice for queers of color from the favelas. Accompanied by her childhood friend and partner in crime, black transwoman and singer Jup do Bairro, her concerts are nothing short of dazzling. Aided by exorbitant costumes and plenty of twerking, her performances are onslaughts of electro against Brazil’s white heteronormative gender order and the machismo of the country’s funk scene. Private moments reveal her gentler side: as she showers with friends or cooks with her mother the talk turns to love, racism and poverty. Archive footage in the shape of home videos shows her in intimate performances at a hospital during her own cancer treatment. We begin to realize that Linn uses radical nudity as a means to undermine accepted gender roles. This documentary also shows her in dramatized radio interviews in which she powerfully espouses her convictions about feminism and her transsexuality: not, for Linn, the role of a cis woman; she’d rather be a woman with a penis whose gender identity is not bound by her genitalia but is in a permanent state of flux.” —Berlin Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1592323058893-1ZCEBZHWAREBW1Y9CD81/image-asset.jpg Daily Recommendations IXCANUL A film by Jayro Bustamante (Guatemala/France, 2015, 91 min.

Ixcanul tells the story of María, a 17-year-old Mayan girl, who lives and works with her parents on a coffee plantation in the foothills of a volcano. An arranged marriage awaits her, to Ignacio, the plantation overseer. A discouraged María seduces Pepe, a young coffee cutter, with plans to run away with him. When Pepe flees he leaves María pregnant, alone and in disgrace. Immersing us in its characters’ customs and beliefs, Ixcanul (which means “volcano” in Kaqchikel) chronicles with unblinking realism disappearing traditions and a disappearing people. Drawing from real-life stories, director Jayro Bustamante wrote the narrative with the point of view of the mother. Using non-actor members of the Maya community, Ixcanul explores the arbiters of a fading way of life against a backdrop of a dominating and Westernized culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1591734888228-2T2HGY2JN7NDW95Q0A7Q/maxresdefault.jpg Daily Recommendations COCOTE A film by Nelson Carlo de los Santos Arias (Dominican Republic/Brazil/Argentina, 2017, 107 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Topic, and Kanopy. “This format-mixing, formally eclectic opus is at once a profound film about religion and a unique tale of revenge. Upon learning that his father has been murdered by a powerful local figure, Dominican private gardener Alberto travels from Santo Domingo back to his hometown to participate in his funeral rites—a mixture of Catholicism and West African mysticism that flies in the face of Alberto’s own evangelicalism. But Alberto’s family has vengeance in mind, and he finds himself at a spiritual and existential crossroads. Boldly synthesizing ethnographic documentary and scripted drama, Cocote is a visually resplendent and stylistically audacious work that evokes the films of Glauber Rocha and the fiction of Roberto Bolaño.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1591734951936-WQVDWB5J09LPV0QBAB7C/141119-bad-hair-02_2e990731709d4e4178612aa7d5d41f31.fit-760w.jpg Daily Recommendations BAD HAIR / PELO MALO A film by Mariana Rondón (Venezuela/Peru/Argentina/Germany, 2013, 93 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Stream it on Tubi, YouTube, Google Play Movies & TV, and Amazon Prime Video “A touching and humorous coming-of-gender story, Bad Hair chronicles the life of nine-year-old Junior, living in a bustling Caracas tenement with his widowed mother. Junior fears he has pelo malo – bad hair. For his school photo, he wants to iron his stubbornly curly mane straight to resemble one of his pop star idols. His mother, unemployed and frazzled from the pressures of raising two children in an unforgiving city, has serious misgivings; she suspects her son is gay. Grandma is more accepting, teaching Junior to dance to one of her favorite ‘60s rock ‘n’ roll tunes. Writer-director Mariana Rondón grounds her film in the cultural realities of working-class Venezuela – and, by dint of two remarkable performances, finds warmth and humor between mother and son, even as the uncertainties of pre-adolescence threaten to pull them apart.

Ulises, their leader, tries to protect his friends from a quickly evolving drug-political war, but after a misunderstanding with a local cartel he’s forced to migrate to New York City. There he tries to assimilate, but when Ulises learns that his gang and the whole Kolombia culture is under threat, he questions his place in America and longs to return home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1590809811662-KXFPMJUD87YKFGS6ESOC/7_boxes_a_h.jpg Daily Recommendations 7 BOXES / 7 CAJAS A film by Juan Carlos Maneglia and Tana Schémbori (Paraguay, 2012, 100 min. In Spanish and Guaraní with English subtitles) Watch it on iTunes, and Google Play 7 Boxes / 7 cajas is the electrifying debut film from the directing team of Juan Carlos Maneglia and Tana Schémbori. The film had its world premiere at the International Film Festival of San Sebastian to audience and critical acclaim and broke box office records in its native Paraguay, edging out Titanic and becoming the most successful film in Paraguay’s box-office history. An official selection of the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, and a favorite at the Miami, Edinburgh, and Palm Springs Film Festivals, indieWIRE hailed the Paraguayan action-thriller as "The Fast and the Furious with wheelbarrows." The film follows Víctor, a 17-year-old wheelbarrow delivery boy, dreams of becoming famous and covets a fancy TV set in the infamous Mercado 4. He's offered a chance to deliver seven boxes with unknown contents in exchange for a quick $100. With a borrowed cell phone the contractor uses to tell him the way, Víctor embarks on the journey. Crossing the eight blocks of the market seemed easy but things get complicated along the way. There is something in those boxes that starts a high-speed wheelbarrow chase in the secret and gloomy corridors of the market. Without even realizing, Víctor and his pursuers will get involved in a crime of which they know anything. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1590809849538-KJU6OMK23DKLKOYXKHNN/TheHeiresses1.jpg Daily Recommendations THE HEIRESSES / LAS HEREDERAS A film by Marcelo Martinessi (Paraguay/Germany/Brazil/Uruguay/Norway/France, 2018, 98 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Watch it on Hulu, HBO Go, and Amazon Prime. Marcelo Martinessi’s acclaimed debut feature The Heiresses / Las herederas was Paraguay’s official submission in the foreign-language film category for the 91st Academy Awards. Winner of numerous international film awards, including two Silver Bears at the 2018 Berlin Film Festival, The Heiresses is a fascinating and subtle commentary on Paraguayan society. The New York Times Critics’ Pick follows the stories of Chela and Chiquita, both of whom descended from wealthy families in Asunción, and have been together romantically for over 30 years. Recently their financial situation has worsened and they begin selling off their inherited possessions, but when their debts lead to Chiquita being imprisoned on fraud charges, Chela is forced to face a new reality. Driving for the first time in years, she begins to provide a local taxi service to a group of elderly wealthy ladies. As Chela settles into her new life, she encounters the much younger Angy, forging a fresh and invigorating new connection. Chela finally begins to break out of her shell and engage with the world, embarking on her own personal, intimate revolution. Featuring outstanding performances (Ana Brun as Chela won the Best Actress prize in Berlin), The Heiresses puts Paraguay on the international cinematic map and announces Martinessi as an exciting talent to watch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1590937361802-5WI4RBNIGDE5DWBOCJQZ/TooLatetoDieYoung2.jpg Daily Recommendations TOO LATE TO DIE YOUNG / TARDE PARA MORIR JOVEN A film by Dominga Sotomayor (Chile/Brazil/Argentina/The Netherlands/Qatar, 2018, 110 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Available to stream on Vimeo, iTunes, and Amazon Prime. The Chilean film Too Late to Die Young / Tarde para morir joven by Dominga Sotomayor was awarded with the Leopard Award for Best Director at the Locarno Film Festival, marking a first for a female filmmaker in the 71 editions of the prestigious Swiss film festival. Starring trans actor Demian Hernández—who has transitioned since production—in the role of Sofía, and inspired by the director’s own childhood, the third feature by Sotomayor (Thursday till Sunday, Mar) is set in 1990, when Chile transitioned to democracy. Political change, however, seems a world away for 16-year-old Sofía, who lives far off the grid in a mountain enclave of artists and bohemians. Too Late to Die Young takes place during the hot, languorous days between Christmas and New Year’s, when the troubling realities of the adult world—and the elemental forces of nature—begin to intrude on her teenage idyll. Acclaimed at numerous film festivals—including New York, Toronto, Viennale and BFI London—the film is a gorgeous and sun-splashed portrait of youth—and a country—on the cusp of exhilarating and impending change. With a subtle artistry and an impeccable cast, Too Late to Die Young confirms Sotomayor as one of Latin America’s leading filmmakers and one of the most exciting voices of her generation in world cinema today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1590937475500-PY9AHBG6IC6MA5O7Q8BN/TwoShotsFired1.jpg Daily Recommendations TWO SHOTS FIRED / DOS DISPAROS A film by Martín Rejtman (Argentina/Chile, 2014, 105 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now available to stream on MUBI “Rejtman’s first feature in a decade is an engrossing, digressive comedy with the weight of an existentialist novel. Sixteen-year-old Mariano (Rafael Federman), inexplicably and without warning, shoots himself twice—once in the stomach and once in the head—and improbably survives. As his family strains to protect Mariano from himself, his elder brother (Benjamín Coehlo) pursues a romance with a disaffected girl (Laura Paredes) who works the counter at a fast-food restaurant, his mother (Susana Pampín) impulsively takes off on a trip with a stranger, and Mariano recruits a young woman (Manuela Martelli) to join his medieval wind ensemble. Rejtman tells this story with both compassion and formal daring, pursuing one thread only to abandon it for another. Two Shots Fired is a wry, moving, consistently surprising film about the irrationality of emotions and how they govern our actions at each stage of our lives.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1590938580012-Y5XWOMLB30ZG1F8Z5ADE/A-Wild-Stream-1600x900-c-default-1050x591.jpg Daily Recommendations A WILD STREAM / UNA CORRIENTE SALVAJE A film by Nuria Ibáñez (Mexico, 2018, 72 min.

They live on a solitary beach in the desert-like landscape of Baja California and fish to survive. Selected by Film Comment as one of the best undistributed films of 2018, A Wild Stream is an engrossing portrait of the human condition, as well as an unusual and quirky bromance.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1590025503106-GY77UFFMDULQ3EUGEFUE/maxresdefault.jpg Daily Recommendations SITE OF SITES / EL SITIO DE LOS SITIOS A film by Natalia Cabral and Oriol Estrada (Dominican Republic, 2016, 61 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Watch for free for a limited time “Humans have significantly altered the natural world in a way that no other species has. In Natalia Cabral and Oriol Estrada’s film, an award-winner at the 2016 IDFA Documentary Festival in Amsterdam, we witness one of the more obvious modes of this change: the creation of an artificial beach on a Caribbean resort. Alternating between semi-direct addresses to the camera and more intimate fly-on-the-wall moments, the film shows us the wealthy denizens of the resort—a beach bum actress, golfers—and the laborers who are reshaping the land for their benefit. Subtly teasing out the intersection of race, class, and environment, this documentary is not to be missed.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1590938758609-6VR5N7SSDSA4EDYYAZSY/LA-MEDEA_01.jpg Daily Recommendations LA MEDEA A film by Yara Travieso (2017, USA, 80 min. In English) Free screening of the film on Tuesday, May 19, 8pm EDT on YouTube Live. Declared as "mythology's 'Nasty Woman'” by Vice, La Medea re-imagines Euripides’ myth into a Latin-disco-pop-feminist variety show. The pervasive figure of the dangerous immigrant woman who vengefully murders her own children is shattered in this genre-bending multidimensional dismantling that rejects the limited gaze imposed on her for centuries. At once a made for camera live streamed film and an immersive musical, La Medea was originally performed, shot, edited, and simulcast in real time. In-studio audiences and at-home-viewers, commenting in the live chat, acted as the "Greek chorus," bringing the live vulnerability of theater to the screen. Written, directed, and conceived by Yara Travieso with an original score and libretto by Sam Crawford, La Medea’s screening with #BRICxHome will allow viewers to live chat with the performers and creators of La Medea while the film streams on BRIC's YouTube channel. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Rena Butler (playing the role of La Medea), Sam Crawford (composer and librettist), and Yara Travieso (writer, director, and creator). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1589580491420-TBIFNG06V6VOCB0I2AEX/image-166_0.jpg Daily Recommendations HAMACA PARAGUAYA / PARAGUAYAN HAMOCK A film by Paz Encina (Paraguay/Argentina/France/Netherlands/Spain 2006, 78 min. In Guarani) Watch for free (subtitles only in Spanish) “Set in a remote Paraguayan village in the 1930s, Ramón and Cándida are an ageing couple of Guaraní peasants who are waiting for better times to come. They go about their daily chores, meeting at regular intervals at a clearing to sit in a hammock and talk about seemingly trivial things: the nuisance of a dog’s barking, the overwhelming heat, the rain which teases but doesn’t come. Broken-hearted by their son’s departure, they await his return from the Chaco War. Cándida’s hopes aren’t high but Ramón stays positive and maintains that no news is surely good news. Paz Encina’s debut feature, supported by World Cinema Fund, is a moving and minimalistic portrayal of isolated life and the struggle to maintain a hopeful outlook in the worst of situations, symbolized by the pervasive presence of thunder throughout.” —Berlin Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1589581219743-FFMJRL07ZGHP9V163BUE/The-Territories-8-1200-600.jpg Daily Recommendations THE TERRITORIES / LOS TERRITORIOS A film by Iván Granovsky (Argentina/Brazil, 2017, 93 min. In Spanish, English, Arabic, and Basque with English subtitles) Now streaming on MUBI After the attack on Charlie Hebdo, Iván, a young film producer and self-proclaimed “frivolous” son of a prominent Argentine journalist, sets off on a journey to sites of contemporary geopolitical conflict. It is no easy undertaking. Determining where the frontline ends and this wannabe war correspondent’s ego trip begins proves even more difficult. It’s seemingly a miracle that this film even exists. As the director and protagonist Iván Granovsky relates with a sense of self-mockery, his three previous attempts to make a film turned into fiascos, so he decided to follow in the footsteps of his father. But from the refugee crisis in Greece to the less-democratic Brazil, from the Basque Country to Jerusalem, Granovsky is always too late, too early, in the wrong place, or asking clumsy questions. The Territories is a coming-of-age fiction nestled inside a geopolitical documentary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1589581404321-H0T46X28FBTL3R40XINL/el-rostro-02.jpg Daily Recommendations THE FACE / EL ROSTRO A film by Gustavo Fontán (Argentina, 2012. 64 min.) Click here to watch the film for free The Face is a lyrical and personal film shot in stunning black and white, where past and present, fiction and nonfiction mix together. A man who sails alone approaches an island on the Paraná River. Once he lands, he’s no longer alone. He shares a meal with another man—his father. There will also be a woman. And some kids. And nature—in the form of birds, plants, and the river, which is always present through its quietness and constant flowing. The film was a selection of the Rome Film Festival and was awarded the Best Director prize at the Buenos Aires Independent Film Festival (BAFICI) and the Cinema Tropical Award for Best Director. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1589250817132-GI1SDOK8WBFXH8SITB09/5a95991e02b0f.image.jpg Daily Recommendations LA FLOR DE LA VIDA A film by Adriana Loeff and Claudia Abend (Uruguay, 2017, 84 min. In Spanish and Italian with English subtitles) Click here to watch it for free, courtesy of International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, IDFA “This is a film about love, related by people who should know: all the participants are at least 80 years old. Do they look back on a passionate life with many lovers, or were they in a stable marriage that lasted more than half a century? What starts out as a collection of interviews soon zooms in on the turbulent love lives of 83-year-old Aldo and his wife Gabriella. Aldo's narcissistic character has prompted him to record all the significant moments in their long life together in home videos. Not only are we transported through these stories, photos and videos into a world of nostalgia, but we also see Aldo watching the films of his life, including one of him as a young man kissing his newborn son. This evokes a familiar feeling of melancholy: being able to see what was, but not to touch it. When Aldo tells filmmakers Adriana Loeff and Claudia Abend that their visits are a welcome feature in his often empty days, it becomes painfully clear how growing older goes hand in hand with loneliness and loss.” —International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, IDFA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1589215818191-9PCMJJJG7AIBAG94IFPV/full_film_16736021_photo1.jpg Daily Recommendations DAYS IN SINTRA / DIARIO DE SINTRA A film by Paulina Gaitán (Brazil/Portugal, 90 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) “Filmmaker Paula Gaitán was married to Glauber Rocha (1938-1981), a key figure in the Brazilian Cinema Novo movement, which embodied politically engaged filmmaking that resisted colonialism in Latin America. Rocha's signature films include Barravento (1961), Black God, White Devil (1964), Land in Anguish (1967), and Antonio das Mortes (1969), all remarkably influential films at the time and overdue for revival today. “In Days in Sintra, Gaitán creates a deeply moving meditation on memory and time as she chronicles her return from Brazil to Sintra, Portugal, where she lived in exile with her husband and their children before his untimely death. In the form of an experimental narrative, she deftly interweaves Super 8 home movie footage and photographs taken of Rocha in 1981 with beautifully composed, evocative contemporary images of the Portuguese landscape. In this manner, Gaitán both weaves together place, uniting past and present, and highlights remembrance. Long, silent passages are gently overlaid with Gaitán's own voice meditating on memory, loss, and death, as well as with recordings of Rocha's voice, articulating his philosophies of life, politics, and filmmaking. “Days in Sintra represents Gaitán's own voyage of discovery, which allows her to bring alive the physical, sensual, and even spiritual essence of her long-deceased companion. On a deeper level, the filmmaker also captures the mournful, atmospheric ether of the Portuguese nation. The proud country that launched the voyages of discovery in the 15th century has found its global position diminished with time, just as Rocha's fiercely independent, award-winning filmmaking had faded to a faint memory-until it was justly revived by his companion in this exquisite diary film. —Tribeca Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1588960117687-4Y054PPP3COYS3AIW8CM/muerte-de-un-burocrata.jpg Daily Recommendations DEATH OF A BUREAUCRAT / LA MUERTE DE UN BURÓCRATA A film by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea (Cuba, 1966, 84 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Watch the film for free, courtesy of the Havana Film Festival, New York: “One of the most surprising films to come from Cuba, Death of a Bureaucrat is a black comic attack on bureaucracy. The situation in the film involves a worker who invented a machine to produce plastic busts of socialist heroes, who dies, and who is honored by being buried with his union card. His widow then needs the card to claim her pension; regulations prohibit an exhumation and her nephew tries to help by stealing the body in the coffin. “There are more regulations against reburial and the endless comic possibilities of disposing of a body and a coffin are exploited in the comic tradition of Harold Lloyd, Buñuel, Laurel and Hardy, etc. to all of whom the film is dedicated. Although produced in 1966, Death of a Bureaucrat premiered in this country only this past May, to great critical acclaim. The New Yorker called it “a slam-bang, hilarious account of the tyranny of red tape”; The Soho Weekly News called it “deliciously subversive... one of the funniest movies in town this year.” —Pacific Film Archives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1588958374077-CBT9WD5J2E9IGSXNY89M/Ruins-Your-Realm-1600x900-c-default.jpg Daily Recommendations RUINS, YOUR REALM / RUINAS, TU REINO A film by Pablo Escoto (Mexico, 2016, 64 min.)

In Spanish with English subtitles) Click here to watch for free for a limited time, courtesy of the Vancouver Latin American Film Festival “My Skin, Luminous is written and directed by Gabino Rodríguez, in collaboration with TIFF alumnus Nicolás Pereda. Variously incorporating themes of education, environmental sovereignty, and spiritual rites, the provocative, absurdist film is composed of material ostensibly shot for the Ministry of Education in a rural school in Mexico's Michoacán state. Inspired by ideas from cult writer Mario Bellatin (who appears in the film), My Skin, Luminous beguilingly drifts into the realm of the oneiric as it narrates the story of a young boy's troubled adoption. Enigmatic and deceptively playful in tone, the film boldly transforms the mundane into fantasy, acting as a meditation on the double-edged nature of rituals and childhood (cleansing, humiliation, rebirth); on race; and on water as both symbol and metaphor.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1588735638103-X1PW59M1XO3JQHWPO54F/jonas.jpg Daily Recommendations JONAS AND THE BACKYARD CIRCUS / JONAS E O CIRCO SEM LONA A film by Paula Gomes (Brazil, 2015, 80 min.

Under the effect of hallucinatory herbs, he investigates questions revolving around geometry and optics in the face of an absolutely strange world.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Watch the film for free, courtesy of the Havana Film Festival New York “Pepito is many things in Cuban folklore, but mostly an irreverent kid with an uncanny gift for thumbing his nose at adults. In Juan Padrón's animated horror comedy, Vampiros en La Habana, Pepito is a swinging trumpet player (music performed by Grammy-winner Arturo Sandoval) in 1930s Havana who sidelines as an anti-dictator Machado revolutionary and irresistible ladies' man. Unbeknownst to our busy hero, he's also a vampire. Turns out Pepito's uncle Werner, son of Count Dracula, has been using him as un unwitting test subject for an elixir, Vampisol, that allows vampires to live in broad daylight. It's not long before the Chicago mob of Johnny Terrori and nefarious European businessmen start pursuing the formula, each for his own greedy interest. What's a helpless Cuban vampire to do? “Director Padrón has the last laugh as he blithely sends-up the stick figures of Cuban propaganda. Vampiros en La Habana is a very politically incorrect romp that matches Ralph Bakshi's notorious Fritz the Cat for sheer bawdiness. The stakes couldn't be higher. Excessive consumption of Vampisol can effectively wipe out a vampire's identity, turning him into that most wretched of creatures: a human.” —Coral Gables Art Cinema https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1588557287771-OAQQFFQUQTC7BWRD6T9Y/cenizas_still_1.jpg Daily Recommendations CENIZAS / ASHES A film by Juan Sebastián Jácome (Ecuador/Uruguay, 2018, 97 min.

Once known as the Mexican Niagara, the waterfall of El Salto de Juanacatlán was a source of immense joy and continuous sustenance for the villages surrounding it.

Along with views of the unique geology (hot springs, now being tapped for a geothermal energy project) and wildlife (which include pink flamingoes), the film presents plenty of dryly comic moments shared by the people who live in this seemingly inhospitable land, who are descended from the Aymara tribe. Through gorgeously shot long takes, this extreme terrain slowly reveals itself to symbolize contrast—between humanity’s future and its past.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1587645264039-QZKH4O8YXE8M078WGYEH/EL-VIGILANTE-2016-dir.-Diego-Ros.jpg Daily Recommendations EL VIGILANTE / THE NIGHTGUARD A film by Diego Ros (Mexico, 2016, 75 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Now available on YouTube, Google Play, and Amazon Prime. Winner of the World Fiction Award at the Los Angeles Film Festival, and the Best Film and Best Actor Awards at the Morelia Film Festival, the auspicious debut feature by Diego Ros is “a wonderfully atmospheric, slightly off-kilter piece through which evil gently and troublingly pulsates” (Jonathan Holland, The Hollywood Reporter).” The film follows Salvador (Leonardo Alonso) works the night shift as a security guard in a construction site located on the outskirts of Mexico City. One evening, while the rest of the country celebrates a national holiday, Salvador repeatedly tries to leave the site in order to attend an important event, but a series of improbable situations turns the night into a bizarre and exhausting experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1587526725157-AD01XAC0RHWO0D5YHROW/zoom_1422380575_JORGE-Y-LA-FLACA%2525402x.jpg Daily Recommendations HOTEL NUEVA ISLA A film by Irene Gutiérrez (Spain/Cuba, 2014, 71 min.

Now, it is a dilapidated ruin, with parts of the ceiling falling down and damp eroding the walls. Nevertheless, the building is still inhabited - by the aged Jorge and his faithful dog, as well as a few of his friends who find themselves homeless. “Jorge's best years were spent working as an official in a strictly governed but vital Cuba. Now, he spends his days poking around and digging - if you look carefully, there is memorabilia buried beneath the rubble. His friends have a more realistic outlook, and one by one leave the disintegrating building. The old man is followed in tender, calm footage of his day-to-day life - ‘maintaining’ the hotel, talking to the other residents, carrying on a romantic relationship with a woman in his improvised home; with kind words and a cautious dance to music recalling an era that has gone forever.” — Rotterdam International Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1587526863104-R93H52CGN2L76JKHJSBH/beautiesofthenight_01.jpg Daily Recommendations BEAUTIES OF THE NIGHT / BELLAS DE NOCHE A film by María José Cuevas (Mexico, 2016, 91 min.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Watch for free Named the best Brazilian documentary of all-time by the Brazilian Association of Film Critics, Eduardo Coutinho's Twenty Years Later is a landmark of Latin American cinema, and hailed as one of the greatest metadocumentaries ever made. “In 1964, Eduardo Coutinho was at work on a film about João Pedro Teixeira, who was murdered by the police as a result of his efforts to organize farm workers in northeast Brazil. The director cast non-actors in the production, including Teixeira’s widow, who plays herself, but shooting was cut short in the wake of the military coup that same year; footage was seized, a number of participants imprisoned. The project was resumed 20 years later, as the country was transitioning to a democracy, but had begun to take a rather different shape: Coutinho incorporated the earlier material as well new interviews with those originally involved and reflections on the injustices of the interval, yielding a prismatically reflexive, genre-defying essay on political commitment and life under dictatorship.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1587527187149-PW8FURETGMOHFZ8MWGYG/adventuresofjuanquinquin_613x463.jpg Daily Recommendations THE ADVENTURES OF JUAN QUIN QUIN / LAS AVENTURAS DE JUAN QUIN QUIN (Julio García Espinosa, Cuba, 1967, 113 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Watch it for free “Hailed as revolutionary Cuba’s first feature-length comedy, Julio García Espinosa’s picaresque, parodic and hugely popular adventure film offers a giddily inventive mix of classic movie genres and styles: war, Western, slapstick, musical, gangster, Buñuelian satire, Soviet-style Socialist Realism, and more. The Adventures of Juan Quin Quin is set in pre-revolutionary Cuba, where the flim-flam, jack-of-all-trades hero lives by his wits and ekes out an existence as, variously, a farmer, altar boy, bullfighter, and circus act (as Jesus on the cross, no less). Godardian intertitles, animated sequences, and comic strips further enliven the anarchic proceedings. An encounter with cartoonish imperialists ultimately turns the hero into an anti-government guerilla. Director Espinosa conceived of the film as an accommodation between ‘serious’ and ‘popular’ art, as an attempt to combine movie entertainment with a subversive critique of old forms of movie entertainment. The result was one of the most widely seen films in Cuban history.” —Pacific Cinémathèque https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1587170371272-TC2XF8ORELM7SXZKFIT9/ovarian-psycos-768x578.jpg Daily Recommendations OVARIAN PSYCOS A film by Joanna Sokolowski and Kate Trumbull-LaValle (USA, 2016, 72 min.

At the helm of the crew is founder Xela de la X, a single mother and poet M.C. dedicated to recruiting an unapologetic, misfit crew of women of color. The film intimately chronicles Xela as she struggles to strike a balance between her activism and nine year old daughter Yoli; street artist Andi who is estranged from her family and journeys to become a leader within the crew; and bright eyed recruit Evie, who despite poverty, and the concerns of her protective Salvadoran mother, discovers a newfound confidence. “Observational, inspirational, thought-provoking...always quite beautiful to look at " ( Los Angeles Times), Ovarian Psycos rides along with the Ova’s, exploring the impact of the group’s activism, born of feminist ideals, Indigenous understanding and an urban/hood mentality, on neighborhood women and communities as they confront injustice, racism, and violence, and take back their streets one ride at a time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1587072165900-GQTD3GSZS08G0CRMYAFS/WNY-1-1.jpg Daily Recommendations WELCOME TO NEW YORK A film by Bettina Perut and Iván Osnovikoff, (Chile/Italy/Spain, 2006, 77 min. In English) Watch for free, for a limited time (hit the rent button, and use promo code ‘retro’ to watch it for free) “Welcome to New York is a set of impressions, an exercise of inverted ethnography (from South to North) in which the directors show their contradictory encounter with the ‘Capital of the World.’ Tragedy and comedy alternate with strong contrasts while the camera goes across the city penetrating social classes, dog hotels, ethnic groups, fashion castings, political conflicts, pet cemeteries, photo shootings, religious communities, techno parties, electoral campaigns, all within the framework of the 2004 Presidential Election, in which George W. Bush was reelected. But Welcome to New York is fundamentally a reflection on the contemporary human being, his inescapable animal nature and tragic fate. Instead of disappearing under a heavy layer of civilization, these philosophical topics seem to become more evident in the most influential city of the present world. What it is proposed through this tragicomic glance at reality is to face without cynicisms what seems to be inevitable and inherent to human existence: the heartrending and permanent contradictions between abundance and lack, humanity and animality, life and death.” —International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1586954300057-6U3IAVAU65QEQYIMOKNE/Unknown-1.jpg Daily Recommendations INTIMIDADES ENTRE SHAKESPEARE Y VÍCTOR HUGO / SHAKESPEARE AND VICTOR HUGO´S INTIMACIES A film by Yulene Olaizola (Mexico, 2008, 80 min.

The title refers to the intersection of two streets in Mexico City where the home of Rosa Carbajal, the filmmaker's grandmother, is located. Through conversations with the occupants of the house, some live-in cleaning people, her grandma's brother, and some old acquaintances, the story of Jorge Riosse gradually unfolds. Riosse was a disturbed young man who rented a room in the house for seven years. The film is also a portrait of Rosa, who unashamedly gives her granddaughter and the viewer a tour of her home and her past. Jorge Riosse lived a withdrawn life, shutting out a past that he rarely spoke about. Still, an intimate friendship developed between him and Rosa. This man in his early twenties was a virtuoso guitarist and singer (demonstrated by some cassette tapes recorded by Rosa), a talented writer (Rosa cherishes Riosse's poems), and a skilled painter: the house is filled with his work, all portraits of women. But bit by bit, this ingeniously constructed tale also brings out Riosse's darker side, from his repressed homosexuality and his struggle with schizophrenia to some disconcerting discoveries after his death in 1993.” —International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, IDFA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1586954343834-8CD14MSB2ULVF5TXR8W1/static1.squarespace.jpg Daily Recommendations SO LONG, ENTHUSIASM / ADIÓS ENTUSIASMO A film by Vladimir Durán (Argentina/Colombia, 2017, 79 min.

Was it an accident or a premeditated attack on a young leader who had made a lot of powerful enemies in a very short time? If so, who was behind it? And is it a coincidence that several of Roldós's supporters also died in plane crashes? Directors Manolo Sarmiento and Lisandra I. Rivera dive into the archives, talk about the affair with those close to it, and visit the three children Roldós and his wife left behind. This investigative documentary is an attempt to find out what was really going on behind the scenes. What secret powers and interests were pulling the strings? The personal accounts about the background combine with the aftermath of Roldós's death to create a drama of Shakespearean proportions. Additional information adds new perspectives to official archive footage. The directors hope that this thoroughly researched film will provide answers to questions and fearful suspicions.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Watch the film The Endless Film stands as a contemporary cinematic Frankenstein. Made from different fragments of unfinished, abandoned, or unrealized Argentine films, this film-essay tells the story of a parallel history of cinema. An endless film is a film that has no end, a film that has not reached its destiny. From this limbo, Listorti gathers these orphan images and silenced sounds and finds a new opportunity to screen their stories. Not only a filmmaker, Listorti nurtures his talented film practice with his experience as an archivist in the film museum Pablo Hickens Ducros in Buenos Aires. The Endless Film is composed of the remains of such films as El eternauta by Hugo Gil (1968); La neutrónica explotó en Burzaco by Alejandro Agresti (1984); Zama by Nicolás Sarquís (1984); Sistema español by Martín Rejtman (1988); and El ocio by Mariano Llinás and Agustín Mendilaharzu (1999); among others. With the voices of musician and actress Rosario Bléfari and filmmaker and writer Edgardo Cozarinsky, The Endless Film proposes itself as a negative journey through creation, memory, and loneliness. “In a country where the remains are of fundamental importance in understanding the past, The Endless Film offers a window to forgotten memories, and invites the viewer to evaluate its own culture and identity.” –Rotterdam Film Festival https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1586712322153-L19AFPHJ6ZDVCTLRVR49/EAuQmkCX4AAwIQc.jpg Daily Recommendations THE GOLDEN BOAT A film by Raúl Ruiz (USA/Belgium, 1990, 83 min.

A bloodthirsty assassin (Michael Kirby) joins up with a philosopher and a rock critic in pursuit of the Mexican soap star who has captured his heart, and along the way he encounters one bizarre character after another. Featuring memorable cameos from Kathy Acker, Jim Jarmusch, Barbet Schroeder, Annie Sprinkle, and Vito Acconci, and music by John Zorn, The Golden Boat must be seen to be believed.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1586713281703-47QZLXMP5YP8SXQQAR4Z/e938-solar.jpg Daily Recommendations SOLAR A film by Manuel Abramovich (Argentina, 2016, 76 min.

José María Avilés’s first feature film is based on this national disaster, but at a great distance from the collapsed buildings and buried loved ones. He shows how an unexpected event can suddenly modify all the rules of the game, even in the remote town of Angamarca – the setting of the film – where the effects of the quake arrive as distant echoes of hostility in the natural environment. An elderly farmer has become one with the land, the lemon trees, and the livestock. But something has changed; nature is disturbed. Water doesn’t run off well, a calf dies for no reason, and the wind keeps picking up. Acting calmly, yet with rising desperation, the ‘maestro’ adheres to his daily routine, trying to get things back on track. It will kill him, that’s certain.” –International Film Festival Rotterdam https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1586226390664-MNO2IPCVN8UXKX8H0IH1/image-asset.jpg Daily Recommendations YO A film by Matías Meyer (Mexico/Canada/Dominican Republic/Switzerland, 2015, 80 min.

In Introduzione all’Oscuro, a man wanders the streets of Vienna, guided by the memory of a friend who has recently passed away. The vestiges of a once sumptuous empire becomes the setting of a cinematic elegy and understated celebration of life. Solnicki honors his dear friend Hurch, an eccentric man with a flamboyant personality, inspired by the tenderness and the humor that made their bond so special with this cinematic postcard made from personal objects and archives. With performative and fictionalized components as well as an elegant cinematography by Rui Poças (Zama, The Ornithologist), Solnicki creates a compelling meditation on grief and an inadvertent portrait of Vienna.

In English and Spanish with English subtitles) Click here to watch it for free (for a limited time only) A selection of Cinema Tropical’s Shortlist of 2018 as one of the Best Latin American Films of the Year and winner of the Best Director Award at the Buenos Aires International Film Festival (BAFICI), Lola Arias’ debut documentary feature Theatre of War / Teatro de guerra is a delirious essay on how to represent war, performed by former enemies. In 1982, Argentina and UK fought the Malvinas Falklands War. The war ended with the British military victory and took about 1.000 lives, both British and Argentinean. While the conflict took place years ago, the sovereignty of the islands is still in dispute. Theatre of War, which had its New York premiere at The Museum of Modern Art’s Documentary Fortnight, tells the story of how six veterans from the Malvinas/ Falklands War came together to make a film. Almost thirty-five years after the conflict, three British and three Argentine veterans spent months together discussing their war memories and then rehearsing their re-enactment. Theatre of War playfully switches between reality and fiction, spontaneity and acting. It explores how to transform a soldier into an actor, how to turn war experiences into a story, how to show the collateral effects of war. The movie brings together former enemies to perform their wartime and post-war nightmares. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1586227014600-D25C17ZPW0DWM73UKCZN/image-asset.jpg Daily Recommendations ANTONIO & PITI A film by Vincent Carelli and Wewito Piyãko (Brazil, 2019, 78 min.)

A New York Times Critics' Pick and 100% Rotten Tomatoes Fresh, the Guatemalan documentary film La Camioneta by Mark Kendall is a “an upbeat story of resilience, regeneration and artistic imagination” (Stephen Holden, New York Times) and a timely film that reminds us of the interconnected world in which we live. Every day dozens of decommissioned school buses leave the United States on a southward migration that carries them to Guatemala, where they are repaired, repainted, and resurrected as the brightly-colored camionetas that bring the vast majority of Guatemalans to work each day. Since 2006, nearly 1,000 camioneta drivers and fare-collectors have been murdered for either refusing or being unable to pay the extortion money demanded by local Guatemalan gangs. La Camioneta follows one such bus on its transformative journey: a journey between North and South, between life and death, and through an unfolding collection of moments, people, and places that serve to quietly remind us of the interconnected world in which we live. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1585246338594-J7SL9KNOH34LKT5UXJFZ/The-Winds-Know-That-Im-Coming-Back-Home-2-1600x900-c-default.jpg Daily Recommendations THE WIND KNOWS THAT I’M COMING BACK HOME / EL VIENTO SABE QUE VUELVO A CASA A film by José Luis Torres Leiva (Chile, 2016, 102 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Watch now for a limited time Nominated for Best Documentary and Best Director at the 2017 Cinema Tropical Awards, the Chilean film The Wind Knows That I’m Coming Back Home / El viento sabe que vuelvo a casa by prolific director José Luis Torres Leiva is an intimate and fragile portrait of an isolated society. “In the early 1980s, a couple vanished without a trace in the woods of Meulín Island. Director Ignacio Agüero (This Is the Way I Like It II) had intended to shoot a documentary about this strange occurrence, but eventually abandoned the project. Now, he journeys to the area to shoot his first fiction film based on the events, and José Luis Torres Leiva follows Agüero as he speaks with locals about the legends that have arisen surrounding this mysterious occurrence in between scouting for locations and auditioning nonprofessionals, who often provide a source of tender comic relief. The film is also a meditation on the isolation of those living on Chile’s Chiloé Archipelago, capturing its unique and solitary landscapes.” —Film at Lincoln Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1585157205152-IR3WDTR3Y58WB2K1WBS5/4zuft-4915ENQNBD4-Full-Image_GalleryBackground-en-US-1553556878235._RI_.jpg Daily Recommendations PORCELAIN HORSE / MEJOR NO HABLAR (DE CIERTAS COSAS A film by Javier Andrade (Ecuador, 2012, 104 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Watch it for free for a limited time Porcelain Horse / Mejor no hablar (de ciertas cosas) is the powerful debut feature by Javier Andrade and was Ecuador’s submission to the 86th Academy Awards in the Foreign Language Film competition. Hailed as a “an impressively strong and mature piece of work” by The Hollywood Reporter, Andrade’s film is a bittersweet and poignant family drama of sex, drugs and punk rock. Paco Chávez leads a careless and charming life on the coast of Ecuador: a life that is all about illicit drugs and the forbidden love affair he carries on with Lucía, a former high school sweetheart who is now married to another man. One night, Paco and his brother Luis—a punk musician with an even bigger drug habit— break into their parent’s home in order to steal a porcelain horse that they intend to pawn, but their plan backfires when their father catches them in the act. The ensuing fight and its consequences will change the lives of everyone around them and haunt both brothers forever. Winner of the Jury Award for Best Narrative Feature at Austin’s Cine Las Americas, and an official selection of the Miami, Warsaw, Sao Paulo, Goa, and Gijon film festivals, among others, Porcelain Horse is testament to the unprecedented strength and vitality of contemporary Ecuadorian cinema. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1585076300882-VPLPUJ2KW5SIBO8UADGW/kings_of_nowhere_still.jpg Daily Recommendations KINGS OF NOWHERE / LOS REYES DEL PUEBLO QUE NO EXISTE A film by Betzabé García (Mexico, 2015, 83 min. In Spanish; English subtitles) Watch it for free for a limited time Winner of the Cinema Tropical Award for Best Director, the Mexican feature film Kings of Nowhere / Los reyes del pueblo que no existe by Betzabé García is a hauntingly beautiful documentary that serves as a powerful allegory for the current times. A once-prosperous village in Mexico, flooded by the careless construction of a new dam, is abandoned by all but three families who cling to their lives amid the rising waters. Interviews with the villagers and tours of passages through the waterways reveal a world brought back from the brink of extinction—until the hope found in the daylight is all but extinguished by unseen raiders in the treacherous night. García first visited the town of San Marcos, Sinaloa when she was thirteen. Years later the town, which had been standing more than 200 years was flooded due to the construction of the Picachos dam. She decided to return to San Marcos in 2009 and began to get to know the people that had stayed in the flooded town. With the support of the entire community García produced the short film Venecia, Sinaloa, which was inspired by the families that endured the flood. Shortly thereafter García decided to stay in San Marcos and began working on Kings of Nowhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1585157023631-RS4MIZFAVXHZYDU4WH54/image-asset.jpg Daily Recommendations MAURO A film by Hernán Rosselli (Argentina, 2014, 80 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Click here to watch the film for free Hernán Rosselli’s auspicious debut feature film, a winner at the Buenos Aires Independent Film Festival (BAFICI), is a sharp character study following Mauro (played by Mauro Martínez), a metalworker who moonlights as a currency forger trading fake bills in the streets of Buenos Aires. He decides to set up a little printing shop with his roommate Luis and Luis’s pregnant girlfriend to produce counterfeit money. Yet things get complicated when he falls for the mysterious Paula. “An engrossing X-ray of life in a southern barrio of Buenos Aires that doubles as a study of a society in crisis, Mauro ripples with quiet virtues. First-timer Rosselli has brought to his debut feature the same precision and craft as his troubled protagonist brings to his forgery, and the result is a slow-burning, intense item that exists somewhere on the increasingly blurred line between feature and documentary, harking back to established films such as Pablo Trapero’s Crane World and, indeed, to the Romanian New Wave in its dark, focused gaze and its unpatronizing treatment of social issues.” –Jonathan Holland, The Hollywood Reporter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1586125218368-L14PE3VLUPAW4S7ZTKQO/V16viejo05.jpg Daily Recommendations DARK SKULL / VIEJO CALAVERA A film by Kiro Russo (Bolivia/Quatar, 2016, 80 min.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Click here to watch the film for free Winner of the Cinema Tropical Award for Best U.S. Latinx Film, Cecilia Aldarondo’s debut documentary feature Memories of a Penitent Heart, is a documentary that cracks open a Pandora’s box of unresolved family drama, combining a wealth of newly discovered home movies, video, and written documents with artfully shot contemporary interviews and vérité footage, Originating from filmmaker Aldarondo’s suspicion that there was something ugly in her family’s past, the film charts her excavation of the buried family conflict around her uncle Miguel’s death, and her search for Miguel’s partner Robert a generation later. After two years of dead ends, Robert turns up: but he is not the same man. He has reinvented himself as Father Aquin, a Franciscan monk with 25 years of pent-up grief and bitterness. For the first time, a member of Miguel’s family wants to hear Aquin’s side of the story—but is it too little, too late? A story about the mistakes of the past and the second chances of the present, Memories of a Penitent Heart is a cautionary tale about the unresolved conflicts wrought by AIDS, and a nuanced exploration of how faith is used and abused in times of crisis. https://www.cinematropical.com/new-page daily 0.75 2020-03-25 https://www.cinematropical.com/la-camioneta daily 0.75 2020-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1586316520956-0A7HXDMAV0X5MXHFGFJ9/LaCamioneta.jpg La Camioneta https://www.cinematropical.com/kekszakallu daily 0.75 2020-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1586541245932-RS6R8SKRF0IFXY7J2NAP/Kekszakallu1.jpg Kékszakállú https://www.cinematropical.com/still-burn daily 0.75 2020-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1586661567484-Q0G4T14GPD4IZND3XNZO/1529102663_235548_1529102924_noticia_normal.jpg Still Burn https://www.cinematropical.com/away-from-meaning daily 0.75 2020-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1586662532868-9ZVQIR2HF1MY3JNED80W/AwayfromMeaning.jpg Away from Meaning https://www.cinematropical.com/is-the-city-only-one daily 0.75 2020-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1588177784114-LILOJJHVJW9RFJQ1E3E2/Veredas_IsTheCityTheOnlyOne_02.jpg Is the City Only One? https://www.cinematropical.com/your-bones-and-your-eyes daily 0.75 2020-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1588182087463-HZ7LNIZM3SEABMOSPZ2R/Veredas_YourBonesAndYourEyes_06-1600x900-c-default.jpg Your Bones and Your Eyes https://www.cinematropical.com/tropichat-gabriel-and-maurilio-martins daily 0.75 2020-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1589068627322-04L2J1GBSPJMU3WU7JAU/Q%26AMartins-1.jpg TropiChat: Gabriel and Maurilio Martins https://www.cinematropical.com/tropichat-cristbal-len-and-joaqun-cocia daily 0.75 2020-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1590178530868-8YTAWPRGFLYK48N7DVU2/portraitthumb-1.jpg TropiChat: Cristóbal León and Joaquín Cociña https://www.cinematropical.com/brazil daily 0.75 2020-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600396507597-XKLCYBD1YFZPKL9CLAUM/image-w1280.jpg Music+Film: Brazil 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600448720968-1ZBWP4R5W4XA30CUH7PP/image-asset.jpeg Music+Film: Brazil 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1600397848486-G59982VG7P4097JGUNCG/MV5BMTU2MzM1OTUzNV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNzk5MzIyMw%2540%2540._V1_.jpg Music+Film: Brazil 2020 BEYOND IPANEMA: BRAZILIAN WAVES IN GLOBAL MUSIC A film by Guto Barra and Béco Dranoff (Brazil/USA, 2009, 89 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) A vibrant musical and graphic experience, Beyond Ipanema: Brazilian Waves in Global Music explores the Brazilian music experience outside of Brazil and why Brazilian music has captivated audiences worldwide for generations. Directed by Guto Barra and music producer Béco Dranoff (Red Hot + Rio, Bebel Gilberto), the film asks and answers the question, why does bossa nova still lure DJs and producers fifty years since its debut, and why is the alternative-rock crowd obsessed with tropicália? Beyond Ipanema, which had its world premiere at MoMA and played in over 50 international film festivals, features interviews and performances by David Byrne, Devendra Banhart, M.I.A., Os Mutantes, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé, Seu Jorge, Thievery Corporation, Bebel Gilberto, CSS, Creed Taylor, and many others. The film’s specially curated soundtrack features Brazilian classics reinterpreted by a new generation of artists—a Dranoff signature producing style. Streaming free for one day in celebration of its tenth anniversary, Beyond Ipanema represents a unique opportunity for U.S. audiences to be swept away by the Brazilian wave.

A film by Georges Gachot (Wo bist Du, João Gilberto?, Switzerland/France/Germany 2018, 106 minutes. In German, Portuguese, English and French with English subtitles) New York Premiere! Swiss-born director Georges Gachot has made some of the most beautiful films on Brazilian music, including Rio Sonata on Nana Caymmi, Music Is Perfume on Maria Bethania, and O Samba on Martinho da Vila. In his latest film, Where Are You, João Gilberto?, acclaimed at over thirty international film festivals including Locarno and Vision du Reel, Gachot follows the footsteps of German writer Marc Fischer's obsessive search for the founding father of bossa nova, Brazilian musician João Gilberto. Fischer detailed his journey in a book, Hobalala, but committed suicide one week before its publication. Taking up the search, Gachot transcends Fisher’s obsession, managing to be delicate and respectful to both protagonists, while with access to Gilberto’s family and friends—including his second wife, singer Miúcha, and fellow bossa nova composers Marcos Valle and Roberto Menescal—he offers a portrait of this enigmatic figure.

A hit at the 2019 Rio Film Festival, the documentary, co-produced by the musician’s wife, Flora Gil, sheds light on his songs' background through conversations with the musician himself in which he discusses his worldview and expanding creative power at the beginning of his career during this turbulent Brazilian historical moment.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Maricarmen plays the cello, performs with a rock band, and holds a seat in a chamber music orchestra. She also teaches music, writes, and runs marathons. Maricarmen lives alone, and at 52, is completely blind. She copes with her condition by having a biting sense of humor and an unwavering sense of self-discipline; there’s nothing that she can’t do. Operating as both a moving portrait of womanhood and a stripped-back meditation on the very act of living, Maricarmen paints a picture of a woman determined to not be defined by her disability, all while navigating the demands of everyday life, love, and family relationships in contemporary Mexico.

In Mazatec, Mixtec, and Spanish with English subtitles) Adela and Marcelino share an isolation that is common among many native speakers of indigenous languages in Mexico. Processed without an interpreter before the Mexican justice system, both are serving sentences for crimes they didn’t commit: Adela, unjustly incarcerated for nine years for the murder of her brother-in-law, and Marcelino, serving thirty years for a homicide he had no part in. In their respective languages of Mazatec and Mixtec, they finally tell the stories the judges never heard: violence at the hands of corrupt police officers, forced confessions, and the signing of untranslated documents. Movingly illustrated through meditative and symbolic visuals, their two voices meld to express a mutual disorientation, to tell stories of their lands and loved ones, and to demand equal representation in the fight against injustice and exclusions in the legal system.

Following three generations of women both during and after the pilgrimage, Retreat deftly explores the chapters of womanhood from coming of age to motherhood to old age, and the occasions that overlap in between.

A film by Adriana Otero and Robin Canul (Mexico, 2019, 67 min. In Spanish and Mayan with English subtitles) What Happened to the Bees? is a documentary that exposes the deadly effects of regularly used agrochemicals—currently legal in countries like Mexico and the United States—on millions of bees in the Mexican state of Campeche. Following community organizers Gustavo Huchin and Leydi Pech in their fight against government authorities and Monsanto, the film explores the ways in which the planting of monocultures threatens the health and environment of Mayan beekeeping communities in the southeast of the country. More than just protect the bees, they’re fighting to safeguard their land from massive deforestation, groundwater table pollution and climate change. What Happened to the Bees? is a powerful investigation of the overlapping socio-environmental conflicts currently taking place in indigenous Mexican territories.

Distributed by Icarus Films. “The harsh, relentlessly arduous conditions experienced by children toiling in the Mexican countryside are observed with striking vision and cinematic poetry.” –Robert Koehler, Variety The most highly praised and awarded Mexican documentary in many years, The Inheritors immerses us in the daily lives of children who, with their families, survive only by their unrelenting labor. Polgovsky, director of the similarly acclaimed documentary Trópico de Cáncer (2004), spent two years filming in many of the poorest rural areas of Mexico, where children barely bigger than the buckets they carry work long hours, in often hazardous conditions, picking tomatoes, peppers, or beans, for which they are paid by weight. Infants in baskets are left alone in the hot sun, or are breast-fed by mothers while they pick crops. The children Polgovsky films have inherited tools and techniques from their ancestors, but they have also inherited their day-to-day hardships and toil. Friday, September 9 through Thursday, September 15 at 7:15 & 9:15 each night. Additional screenings on Saturday and Sunday at 5:15. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467473552786-CPFJMQ8HXMXKG97V8N4B/image-asset.png GenMex Part I AFTER LUCÍA / DESPUÉS DE LUCÍA (Michel Franco, Mexico, 2012, 102 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. New York Premiere) Winner of the top prize at the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival, the sophomore feature film by Franco, “one of the finest and most imaginative young directors on the scene” (Howard Feinstein, Screen Daily), is an intense and shocking exploration of the violent effects of bullying. The film tells the story of Alejandra, who has just moved with her depressed father to Mexico City after her mother has passed away. As she starts classes in a new school, she becomes the target of escalating torment by bullies. Their torments grow in intensity and cruelty, wearing down the weary Alejandra’s resistance.

New York Premiere) A shaman’s mystical invocations, a protest of furious electricians on hunger strike, and a euphoric soccer crowd collide in the Zócalo of Mexico City, the country’s central square and ancient ceremonial heart of the Aztec empire. Mitote (Nahuatl for chaos or celebration) transforms the plaza into a wrestling ring, where national commemorations, postmodern rituals, and the remains of pre-Hispanic culture clash. Polgovsky’s follow up to his acclaimed documentary film The Inheritors is an intricate portrait of the different layers that coexist – sometimes in conflict – in Mexican culture.

In English. New York Premiere) The deterioration of a small community in Fogo Island, off the coast of Canada, is forcing its inhabitants to leave and resettle. Places once occupied by humans are now becoming part of the tundra landscape. In spite of a condemned future, there are some residents who decide to remain, holding on to their memories and grieving for the past, when life in Fogo was different. Olaizola’s third feature film, a minimalist Mexican-Canadian drama, follows in the footsteps of her previous film Artificial Paradises, pushing the boundaries between fiction and documentary film.

In Japanese with English subtitles) “Epic. […] González-Rubio’s long, contemplative takes feel like an osmotic experience.” –G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle Winner of the Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival, the third feature film by acclaimed director González-Rubio (Alamar) is a stunning and poetic documentary shot in a tiny mountain community in Japan, made at the invitation of Japanese director Naomi Kawase and the Nara Film Festival. Blending documentary and narrative, Inori (Japanese for ‘prayer’) depicts the lives of the aging population of the isolated village. As the younger generations have left to look for work elsewhere, the remaining elderly inhabitants perform their everyday routine with stoicism and dignity.

[…] Lipkes proves in this opera prima that he is a talent to watch.” –Howard Feinstein, Screen Daily Lipkes’s slow-burning film follows a nameless elderly man (played by non-actor Issac López) on his last day of life in the seedy streets of downtown Mexico City. Beset by memories, he roams through his past while everyday life slips by him. “Rendered with intensity and rigor” (Robert Koehler, Variety), Malaventura marks the auspicious and dignified filmmaking debut of film critic and programmer Lipkes.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Ray (Andrés Almeida), a revolutionary activist, and Ramona (real-life singer Jessy Bulbo), a rebellious punk rock girl, are a young couple who hate inequality and social injustice in their country, and together try to advocate for a better world. Pushed over the edge by the violent repression in Salvador Atenco, they feel increasingly drawn to commit a terrorist act in the name of their political beliefs and their love. Terrazas’s poignant directorial debut is a frenetic love story in a self-destructive political activist context, set to the rhythm of punk rock.

HALLEY (Sebastián Hofmann (Mexico, 2012, 84 min., digital video) Co-presented by Latin Horror "Beto, a security guard in a Mexico City gym, quietly observes the healthy bodies of the muscle-bound patrons, which contrast sharply with his own physical deterioration. Afflicted with a strange illness, Beto surrenders to his condition and holes up in his apartment, injecting himself with embalming fluid to stem his increasing decay. Beto’s melancholy grows as he realizes – in the words of an affable morgue attendant – that ‘the diseased become the disease.’ Through the friendly advances of the gym’s female owner, Beto dances with the illusory promise of feeling alive again. Hofmann’s increasingly surrealistic feature debut subverts genre conventions and audience expectations, treating its living-dead protagonist with sensitivity and compassion." –Sundance Film Festival Sunday, September 8 at 7pm; and Tuesday, September 10 at 9:15pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467480380685-LGFYF2JDT5SEYOABR4GC/noquierodormirsola.jpg GenMex Part I SHE DOESN’T WANT TO SLEEP ALONE / NO QUIERO DORMIR SOLA (Natalia Beristain, Mexico, 2012, 82 min., digital video. In Spanish with English subtitles) Amanda is 33 years old and suffers from a condition: she cannot sleep alone. Her dull life is suddenly altered when she is forced to take care of her old alcoholic grandmother, Dolores (played by veteran actress Adriana Roel), a retired actress who lives on her past glories. Largely based on the filmmaker’s relationship to her grandmother, Beristain’s promising feature film, which had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, was the winner of the prize for Best Film at the 2012 Morelia Film Festival. Wednesday, September 11 at 7pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1467480475724-5WH87893QS2ORQBJJENF/ultimoscristeros.jpg GenMex Part I THE LAST CHRISTEROS / LOS ÚLTIMOS CRISTEROS (Matías Meyer, Mexico/Netherlands, 2011, 90 min., 35mm. New York Theatrical Premiere Run) Matías Meyer’s The Last Christeros is a highly unusual historical film that takes a meditative, nearly non-narrative approach to portraying the experiences of those who continued to resist the Mexican government’s anti-Christian (especially anti-Roman Catholic) persecution, even following the official end of the Cristero War in 1929. Devoted to the cause, despite their increasing desperation and fatigue, and their yearning to rejoin their families, this band of rebels—whose genuine religious faith and spiritual innocence is apparent despite their paradoxical embrace of armed struggle—trudges exhaustedly through the hills and mountains of rural Mexico, experiencing moments of grace and beauty amid the violence and suffering. This third feature by Meyer (following Wadley and The Cramp) decisively establishes him as one of the most gifted of young Mexican filmmakers, and represents a striking combination of minimalist cinema and historical depiction. Eschewing a narrative chronicle of the War’s events, Meyer instead puts us in his weary fighters’ shoes, and emphasizes the quiet, strangely tranquil moments between battles.

In Spanish with English subtitles) New York Premiere — Q&A with Joanna Reposi Garibaldi Buy Tickets A pioneering queer writer and visual artist who shook up conservative Chilean society during Pinochet's dictatorship in the 1980s, Pedro Lemebel worked on a film about his own work during the last eight years of his life. Unfortunately, he was never able to complete the film before his death from cancer in 2015. With unprecedented access and footage from that unfinished project, Joanna Reposi Garibaldi’s documentary details the risk-taking, confrontational performance art that defined this extraordinary figure, whose work advocated for human rights, and which speaks to the recent political upheaval in Chile.

In Spanish with English subtitles) *Q&A with director / Free Admission Rather than composing a portrait of a city, this documentary gives rise to a reunion with the elements that appear in it. Carlos Rossini invites Maya Goded, Julio Hernández Cordón, and Nuria Ibáñez to codirect “a glance” that poses a search and the discovery of the gestures of this sprawling city. They choose where they explore from, where they delve, and where they share this experience: a series of mirages in a monumental metropolis.

They reflect on the importance of their crops, and the practical knowhow that enables the everyday epic tale of corn, as well as the dangers faced by this crop and the need to preserve the land used by countless indigenous Mexican communities and farmers to grow their cornfields.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Winner of the Cinema Tropical Award for Best Film, the second feature documentary by Laura Herrero Garvín follows Doña Olga, also known as La Mami, who having worked more than 40 years in nightlife is the caretaker of the women’s restroom at the mythical Cabaret Barba Azul in Mexico City. Night after night, she attends to the dancers who perform there to live music. A beautiful friendship gradually develops between her and newcomer Priscilla, as the two exchange intimate details during their shifts, sharing glances in the mirror. Textural, empathetic, and shot completely from the female perspective, Herrero Garvín crafts an exquisite look into a world of women doing what they have to in order to provide for their families and carve a path for themselves and their loved ones under unforgiving circumstances.

In Spanish with English subtitles) A compelling semi-autobiographical coming-of-age tale set in Mexico in 1986, as the country gets ready for the World Cup. This Is Not Berlin follows 17-year-old Carlos, an introverted kid who doesn’t fit in: not in his family nor at school. Everything changes when he’s invited to the Aztec, a legendary Mexico City nightclub where he discovers the underground nightlife scene – post-punk, sexually fluid, and fueled by drugs. Carlos’s awakening will challenge his relationship with his best friend, Gera, the brother of his crush, Rita, while helping him discover his passion for experimental art and leading him into adulthood. With impeccable art direction, a pulsing soundtrack, and a knock-out ensemble cast headed by Xabiani Ponce de León and José Antonio Toledano, along with Academy Award nominee and Roma star Marina de Tavira, the film offers a revealing portrait of Mexico City in the eighties – an era of deep political, social, and cultural change that shaped today’s Mexico.

In Spanish with English subtitles) With Mercedes Hernández, David Illescas, Juan Jesús Varela The most lauded Mexican film of the year, winner of the Gotham Award or Best International Film, the Audience Award and Best Screenplay prize at the Sundance Film Festival, and nine Ariel Awards, Identifying Features tells the story of middle-aged Magdalena, who has lost contact with her son after he took off with a friend from their town of Guanajuato to cross the border into the U.S., hopeful to find work. Desperate to find out what happened to him—and to know whether he’s even alive— she embarks on an ever-expanding and increasingly dangerous journey to discover the truth. At the same time, a young man named Miguel has returned to Mexico after being deported from the U.S., and eventually his path converges with Magdalena’s. From this simple but urgent premise, director Fernanda Valadez has crafted a lyrical, suspenseful slow burn, equally constructed of moments of beauty and horror, and which leads to a startling, shattering conclusion.

In Spanish, English and Cantonese with English subtitles) Q&A with director Winner of the Generation Best Feature Film Award at the Berlin Film Festival and the Special Jury Prize and Audience Award at the Guadalajara Film Festival, Los Lobos follows eight-year-old Max and his younger brother Leo, who emigrate to Albuquerque from Mexico with their mother, Lucía. She tries to make a living doing odd jobs, and while waiting for her mother to return from work, the kids listen to tales, rules of conduct and English lessons recorded on an old tape recorder. They also build an imaginary universe with their drawings and dream about mom’s promise of going to Disneyland. The second feature film by director Samuel Kishi Leopo (We Are Mari Pepa) is a semi-autobiographical tale that “thrives as an intimate window into what it means to confront immigrant life in piecemeal” (IndieWire).

In Spanish with English subtitles) In a solitary town nestled in the Mexican mountains, the girls wear boyish haircuts and have hiding places underground. Ana and her two best friends take over the houses of those who have fled and dress up as women when no one is watching. In their own impenetrable universe, magic and joy abound; meanwhile, their mothers train them to flee from those who turn them into slaves or ghosts. But one day, one of the girls doesn't make it to her hideout in time. Liberally adapted from Jennifer Clement's eponymous 2014 novel, the debut fiction by acclaimed director Tatiana Huezo (The Tiniest Place, Tempestad) was the winner of a Special Mention in the Un Certain Regard competition at the Cannes Film Festival, and the Best Latin American Film Award at the San Sebastian Film Festival.

A film by René Cardona (Mexico, 1968, 80 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Starring Maura Monti, Roberto Cañedo, Héctor Godoy, David Silva, Crox Alvarado, Armando Silvestre, Manuel Capetillo, Ofelia Chávez, and Carlos Suárez. The Mexican Batwoman is a fascinating and fairly unknown addition to the already overwhelmingly superb Batman franchise. Taking advantage of Batman’s increased popularity director Rene Cardona, known later for his luchador (masked wrestler) adventure movies, began working upon a new movie that would showcase the talent of actress Maura Monti by splicing elements of ‘Batmania’ with the popular lucha libre style of Mexico. Under her cape, cowl, boots and bikini the gorgeous Maura takes on the lead role of Batwoman in this 1968 Mexican version. With stunning beauty and crime-fighting finesse she is called to investigate an evil and whacked out scientist who is capturing wrestlers and using their spinal fluid to create a Gill Man.

In Spanish with English subtitles) With José María Jazpik, Mariana Treviño, Adrián Vázquez, Angélica Aragón, Jesús Ochoa, and Joaquín Cosio Nominated for 10 Ariel Awards, the directorial debut by renowned actor José María Yazpik (Narcos, I’m So Excited) is an engrossing comedy set in the early eighties in the Baja Peninsula and tells the story of El Chato, a man who had left his idyllic and remote hometown of San Ignacio in hopes of becoming a Hollywood star. Ten years later, a shipment of cocaine is mistakenly dumped in the village. The Tijuana mafia enlists El Chato to retrieve the supply; if he doesn’t, the entire community will be in danger. Upon his return home, he is faced with the possibility of reuniting with his family, and the love of his life, and the son he didn’t know he had. *Screening followed by an afterparty at Borderlands Brewery (119 E.

Argentina, 91 min. In Spanish with English subtitles, With María Villar, Romina Paula. Before he became celebrated for his contemporary reimaginings of Shakespeare’s plays—including his latest film, Isabella (in theatrical release on August 27)—the Argentine writer-director Matías Piñeiro made his feature debut with this New Wave–inspired comedy about Bohemian middle-class youth in Buenos Aires, an enchanting story of fickle friendships and fleeting romances, of purloined museum artifacts and the texts and deeds of the 19th-century historical figure Domingo Augusto Sarmiento brought mysteriously to life. Shot in grainy, almost fugitive 16mm black and white, The Stolen Man wears its literary and cinematic references lightly, announcing the arrival of a filmmaker who playfully interweaves games of the mind and heart, the literary and the performative, and the authentic and the counterfeit.

In Spanish with English subtitles. With Santi Ahumada, Francisco Pérez-Bannen, Paola Giannini. Winner of top prizes at Rotterdam, IndieLisboa, and New Horizons in Poland, Thursday Till Sunday, the debut feature of Dominga Sotomayor (Too Late to Die Young)—now considered one of the leading lights of contemporary Chilean cinema—is an exquisitely close study of Lucia, an 11-year-old girl buffeted by her parents’ marital tensions, recriminations, and bitter regrets and by a countervailing sense of her own inchoate desires and yearning for freedom. During their family road trip, as Lucia homes in on gestures and offhand remarks that seem pregnant with meaning, Barbara Álvarez’s camera rarely strays from her eagle-eyed point of view. (Álvarez’s gift for claustrophobic cinematography, in this case on Super 16, is also evident in Federico Veiroj’s Acne and Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll’s 25 Watts—both in this series—as well as Lucrecia Martel’s The Headless Woman.)

In Spanish with English subtitles. With Ezequiel Cavia, Mirta Busnelli, Damián Dreizik. A pioneering figure in the New Argentine Cinema of the early 1990s, Martín Rejtman achieved a cult following with his debut film Rapado—the droll portrait of a world-weary teenager who roams Buenos Aires in search of his stolen motorbike—even before Lucrecia Martel, Pablo Trapero, and Lisandro Alonso arrived on the scene. With its favoring of comic haplessness and happenstance over overwrought and overwritten melodrama (think Howard Hawks rather than Stanley Kramer), Rapado both saved Latin American cinema from its worst excesses and helped define the devil-may-care attitude of Cinema Tropical’s earliest years. “You could draw comparisons to Jim Jarmusch’s ironic detachment or the spare precision of the Taiwanese New Wave that Rejtman usually cites as an inspiration. But if Rapado feels more familiar than when it first appeared, that’s perhaps due to the indie films that came out over the rest of the decade” (Quintín, Film Comment).

In Spanish with English subtitles “One of the most impressive debuts by a Mexican filmmaker since Carlos Reygadas’ Japón” (Robert Koehler, Variety), The Tiniest Place is a powerful, lyrical choral story of resilience and rebirth. This landmark documentary film tells the story of Cinquera—a town in El Salvador nestled in the mountains that was decimated during the country’s bloody 12-year civil war—and the survivors who return to repopulate the town years later. Masterfully constructed using the oral testimony of a number of villagers and with magnificent cinematography by Ernesto Pardo, Tatiana Huezo’s (Tempestad) inspiring and compelling film has influenced many filmmakers across Latin America, establishing her as one of the most important directors of her generation.

In Spanish with English subtitles. With Daniel Hendler, Jorge Temponi, Alfonso Tort. This year marks the 20th anniversary of this wry, fresh, and funny slacker comedy, shot in black and white in Montevideo, in which three friends, Javi, Seba, and Leche, spend the day wandering around the neighborhood with nothing to do but drink beer, smoke, talk about girls, and interact with picturesque characters. Winner of the Tiger Award at the Rotterdam Film Festival, 25 Watts consolidated Uruguay’s influential role in the revitalization of Latin American cinema of the new century, initiating a prolific and exciting period for young local filmmakers, and launching the careers of many key filmmakers, including the directorial duo Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll (Whisky), producer Fernando Epstein (Monos), and cinematographer Bárbara Álvarez (The Headless Woman).

In Spanish with English subtitles. With Yuliet Cruz, Armando Miguel Gómez, Luis Antonio Gotti. When the town sugar mill is shut down, a young couple, Aldo and Mónica, are pushed to the point of desperation as they struggle to preserve their personal passions and principles. While this could have become an overwrought drama, Carlos Lechuga’s debut film defies its title by being neither sickly sweet nor oppressively dark, instead offering sharply drawn characters, a subtle wit, and an understated, sensitive style.

In Spanish with English subtitles. With Misael Saavedra, Humberto Estrada, Rafael Estrada. Lisandro Alonso (Liverpool, Jauja) upended expectations from the very start, opening La libertad—and launching his successful career—with a techno-beat credit sequence that seemed to offer the promise of something adrenaline-fueled but instead segues to something far more inquisitive, instinctual, and sensuous than any conventional movie would dare essay: a meditation, through a series of exquisite long takes, on the nature of man and on man in nature. With patient observation and sly bits of staging, Alonso’s portrait of Misael Saavedra, a self-reliant woodcutter who lives in and off the rugged Argentine Pampa, embodies an almost 19th-century Transcendentalist ideal of freedom, honest labor, and the ethical, well-lived life.

In Spanish with English subtitles. With Cirilo Recio Dávila, Claudia Orozco, Martha Preciado. Violence as a shock to the system, whether familial or societal, is a throughline in much contemporary Mexican cinema, though it is rarely depicted with such intimate ferocity as in Heli, for which Amat Escalante won Best Director at Cannes in 2013. A different sort of violence, more habitual and domestic, underlies Escalante’s debut slow-burn drama Sangre, which premiered at Cannes and then in New Directors/New Films 2006. Shot in widescreen with nonprofessional actors, the film observes the joyless marriage of Diego, a paunchy doorman who counts visitors at a municipal building, and his younger wife Blanca, who works at a sushi restaurant, as their familiar routine—argue, watch telenovelas, have sex, argue, have sex—is upset by the sudden and desperate arrival of Diego’s daughter from a previous marriage.

In Spanish, Hebrew with English subtitles. With Alejandro Tocar, Ana Julia Catalá, Gustavo Melnik. Who but a doting mother could love Rafi, an awkward, pimply Jewish teen from upper-middle-class Montevideo? While Rafi’s closest friends desperately crave a chance at any sort of venial sin—smoking, drinking, gambling, a good first lay—the proscribed rituals of movie adolescence do little to satisfy Rafi’s longing for a real kiss. Therein lies the bittersweet comedy of Federico Veiroj’s debut film, and the light touch and emotional depth he would bring to later award-winning films like A Useful Life, Belmonte, The Apostate, and The Moneychanger.

In Spanish with English subtitles. With Monserrat Fernández, Lil Quesada Morúa, Luis Carlos Bogantes. Winner of the Tiger Award at the Rotterdam Film Festival, a milestone achievement for Central American cinema at the time, Paz Fábrega’s first film follows Mariana and Rodrigo, a young and affluent couple from San José, Costa Rica, who are spending their New Year’s vacation on the Pacific coast, when they find seven-year-old Karina, who has run away from her family. This random encounter will provoke anxiety for Mariana, particularly after the girl disappears the following morning after telling them of having been a victim of family abuse. Handsomely lensed by Uruguayan cinematographer María Secco and elegantly directed, Fábrega’s understated, fascinating work earned her international acclaim and opened exciting possibilities for Central American cinema.

In Spanish with English subtitles. An overlooked gem, Balnearios is an infectiously demented ode to Argentine turn-of-the-century bathing resorts and to the lifestyles of the indolent. Mariano Llinás’s mock-serious tone belies his dead-serious fascination with the myriad forms and mysteries of storytelling, his documentary (hybrid? sendup?) paving the way for his even more ambitious genre mashups in Extraordinary Stories (2014) and La Flor (2016). ”The idea of modern pagan cities given to the worship of the sea may be thought of as a strange, fascinating phenomenon. This film is the result of such fascination” (Llinás).

Screenplay by Alberdi, Sebastián Brahm Chile, 2011, 64 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. A deceptively simple and fascinating study on social behavior, this debut feature by the recent Academy Award–nominated Chilean documentarian Maite Alberdi (The Mole Agent) follows Mauricio, a lifeguard with a deep tan and dreadlocks who, paradoxically, tries to steer clear of the water. Justifying his rigid work philosophy, he preaches that prevention is the best way to prevent drowning. Yet the crowds of tourists that flock to the Chilean beaches during the summer season, and Mauricio’s coworkers, don’t want to deal with his attitude and arrogance. From her very first film, Alberdi creates truer-than-fiction characters from her documentary subjects, using cinéma vérité narratives and humor as ingenious tools for poignant social commentary. Winner of the Cinema Tropical Award for best Latin American documentary, The Lifeguard heralded the arrival of an exciting and unique voice in world documentary cinema.

In Portuguese with English subtitles. With Renata Cabral, Luísa Horta, Ana Carolina Oliveira. Even before the international success of Araby, co-directed with João Dumans, Affonso Uchôa found poetry and politics in the overlooked lives of marginal Brazilian people. His Afternoon Woman is a painterly, formalist portrait of three seemingly ordinary women living in a seemingly ordinary home in downtown Belo Horizonte. Inspired by Michelangelo Antonioni’s Red Desert, Gus Van Sant’s Last Days, Júlio Bressane’s Filme de amor, and Sergei Parajanov’s The Color of Pomegranates, the filmmaker betrays a fascination with the intricate interplay of meaningful gestures and decisive moments in shaping a sense of self and creating a kind of cinematic reality.

In Spanish with English subtitles. With Judit Gómez, Priscilla Lazaro, Cristina Kahlo. In his auspicious debut fiction film, Dominican filmmaker Nelson Carlo de los Santos (Cocote) cleverly extrapolates from Chilean author Roberto Bolaño’s unfinished, posthumously published novel 2666 to explore a multiplicity of perspectives and voices in a town riven by bloodshed. In the fictional Mexican border town of Santa Teresa (a stand-in for Ciudad Juárez), the researcher Juan de Dios Martínez straddles the line between journalism and detective work, investigating a handful of crimes and abuses perpetrated on women and workers of the zone. Deftly mixing fiction, nonfiction, and essay, Santa Teresa and Other Stories is a lyrical, experimental take on the humanitarian crisis in Mexico brought on by the drug wars.

Juliana (an excellent Grace Passô) moves from her Brazilian hometown of Itaúnas to the larger and more sprawling Contagem to take a job in a public-health program combating the spread of dengue fever. While waiting for her husband to join her, she sets about making the rounds, inspecting people’s homes for mosquito hiding places and becoming acquainted with a new cast of characters who will lead her to look beyond her past and toward an uncertain future. A deft, deeply felt character study, Long Way Home establishes Oliveira as a great emerging talent of contemporary Brazilian cinema.

Written and directed by Nicolás Pereda Mexico/Canada, 2007, 73 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. With Teresa Sánchez and Gabino Rodríguez. Together with his relative contemporaries Lisandro Alonso in Argentina, Pedro Costa in Portugal, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul in Thailand, the Mexican-Canadian filmmaker Nicolás Pereda imbues the lives of the working poor with dignity, complexity, and resigned humor, making the marginal central to our attention through his use of fragmentary narratives, oblique angles, near-wordless communication, anti-psychology, and a destabilizing interplay between neorealist “truth” (nonprofessional actors, indigenous locations) and staged “fiction.” In Where Are Their Stories?, about a familial conflict over land, Pereda introduces Teresa Sánchez and Gabino Rodríguez, actors who would continue to play mother and son in very different guises in subsequent films like Together, Perpetuum Mobile, Summer of Goliath, and Greatest Hits.

In Spanish; English subtitles.With Pablo Riera, Martín Adjemián, María Sofía Dabarca. Desperate and unfortunate, lazy and hesitant, 25-year-old David has failed as a student and lost the scholarship that financially supported him in the capital city. Now he must pass an exam that will take place in a year if he wants this grant to continue. In order to prepare, he has come to live at La Pedrera, a small beach town where his father has given him the mission of building a house during the winter. Manuel Nieto Zas’s confident debut feature is the story of the construction as well as David's tragicomic fight to survive in a world where there are as many dogs as men, and few women, and where no one wants to work.

In Spanish with English subtitles. With Jonathan Da Rosa, Tatiana Giménez, Mirella Pascual, Claudia Cantero, Francisco Lumerman. In his three feature films, director Benjamín Naishtat (The Movement, Rojo) has brilliantly explored political notions of fear and social decay in different moments of Argentine history. In History of Fear, his enigmatic and unsettling debut feature set in the present-day Buenos Aires suburbs, social order is brought to the brink of collapse when a heat wave grips the city. The film’s characters form a choral narrative, each one belonging to a different social class and forced to confront their own motives, instincts, and fears as uncanny things start to happen. With assured directing, strong cinematic elements, and a knockout cast, Naishtat delivered a powerful sociological thriller that unmistakably established him as a filmmaker to watch.

Screenplay by Lolli, Catherine Paillé, Virginie Legeay Colombia/France, 2014, 86 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. With Carlos Fernando Pérez, Alejandra Borrero, Santiago Martínez. Class struggle is a recurring trope of Latin American cinema, yet Franco Lolli’s nuanced and elegant direction brings complexity and insight to economic strife in this engrossing and naturalistic coming-of-age drama set in Bogotá. Gente de bien, which literally means “people of goodness” but is also slang for “the well off,” follows Eric, a 10-year-old boy (the nonprofessional Brayan Santamaría, in a wonderful performance) who is sent with his dog Lupe to live with his impoverished father, whom he barely knows. When his father’s boss, a woman of great privilege, decides with the best of intentions to take the boy under her wing, it causes awkward conflicts in the family.

Screenplay by Silva, Pedro Peirano Chile, 2007, 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. With Gabriel Díaz, Diego Muñoz, Claudia Celedón. Sebastián Silva catapulted to international attention after winning the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance for his second film, The Maid, going on to make Crystal Fairy, Magic Magic, and Nasty Baby. Yet somehow his debut feature, Life Kills Me, has never sufficiently gotten its due. Mixing eroticism, despair, absurdist gallows humor, and sudden bursts of fantasy, it’s the story of a no-budget cinematographer, trailed by death and misfortune, whose life is reawakened by the grotesque macabre pleasures of a newfound friend.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival, the latest film from visionary director Gabriel Mascaro (Neon Bull) is a striking dystopian drama set in near‑future Brazil, where the government relocates seniors to isolated colonies under the guise of economic “well‑being.” Seventy‑seven‑year‑old Tereza refuses to accept forced retirement and the loss of her autonomy. Determined to fulfill a lifelong dream of flying, she embarks on a clandestine river journey through the Amazon, encountering unexpected companions who help her reclaim freedom and possibility.

In Spanish with English subtitiles) Middle-aged and erratic, Oscar is a failed writer who has given up on life. Unemployed and living with family, he wanders the streets of Medellín in a drunken stupor, lamenting the state of literature in his home country, where he has succumbed to the cliché of the tortured artist. However, the opportunity to mentor a young student offers a chance at redemption, if he doesn’t screw it up first. In a performance marked by darkly comic pathos, first-time actor Ubeimar Rios stars in Simón Mesa Soto’s Un Certain Regard Jury Prize-winner A Poet, a raw and riotous farce about how good deeds are often met with the universe’s idea of cruel and unusually poetic punishment.

Filmed across São Paulo, Salvador, and Rio de Janeiro, the documentary traces the spiritual and artistic synergy between guitarist Baden Powell and poet-lyricist Vinicius de Moraes, capturing the essence of a collaboration that forever changed the country’s musical landscape. Through intimate testimonies from contemporaries, critics, and family—including Maria Bethânia, Jards Macalé, Dori Caymmi, Russo Passapusso, and Cynara Faria of the legendary Quarteto em Cy—the film uncovers how Afro-Brazilian rhythms and Candomblé traditions shaped an album that channeled both ancestry and innovation. Featuring never-before-seen archival material, this powerful documentary is a celebration of Brazil’s Black cultural roots and Baden and Vinícius’s profound influence on popular music—an exploration of how rhythm, resistance, and reverence coalesced into one of the most transformative works in Latin American music history.

Based on the novel by Mexican author Juan Pablo Villalobos and adapted by Academy Award winner Nicolás Giacobone (Birdman), Down the Rabbit Hole delves into the dichotomy of privilege and peril.

Six years later, she leads a seemingly normal life in Toronto with her tempestuous daughter Lucía (Aranguren), until her estranged cousin Edgar (Zaldua), who was a suspect in her husband’s murder, resurfaces, threatening everything she’s built. The latest from Canadian multi-hyphenate artist Lina Rodriguez is a sharply calibrated story of dislocation and exile, centered on an émigré whose hard-fought sense of belonging and empowerment is made tenuous thanks to forces from both the political past and cultural present. Rodriquez’s adeptness in both narrative and documentary storytelling comes through in this unforgettable drama, rich in both uncanny details of immigrant lives and the director’s own distinctive sense of humor and timing.

Given the chance to audition for a film, Felipe escapes to Montevideo and meets his paternal grandmother, after not having seen her since his father’s death. During his trip, he ends up putting together the pieces of his past, figuring out who he wants to be.

One December morning in 1968, the police knocked on Veloso’s door, arrested him without charge, and took him to a converted army barracks for allegedly singing the National Anthem to the melody of his popular song “Tropicalia.” What he thought would be one night in jail lasted nearly two months. More than 50 years later, Veloso shares this dark chapter of his life, captured in uninterrupted direct address. Produced by renowned filmmaker Walter Salles (Central Station, The Motorcycle Diaries), Narcissus Off Duty gives Veloso the space to narrate his own story.

In Spanish, English, and French, with English subtitles) Spring 1971, Havana: The poet Heberto Padilla is released from jail and appears at a meeting of the Cuban Writers’ Guild. In an attempt at “heartfelt self-criticism,” he proceeds to incriminate himself, declaring his status as a counterrevolutionary agent and identifying many of his attending colleagues, including his wife, as the same. A month before, Padilla had been accused of attacking the security of the Cuban state, his arrest mobilizing the intelligentsia, who addressed a letter to Fidel Castro demanding Padilla’s release, claiming his only sin was dissent and criticism through his poetry. The writer’s filmed mea culpa, presented for the first time, is the centerpiece of a story punctuated by interventions from Gabriel García Márquez, Julio Cortázar, Mario Vargas Llosa, Jean-Paul Sartre, Jorge Edwards, Carlos Fuentes, and Fidel Castro. Acclaimed at the Telluride, San Sebastian and Miami Film festivals, and recent winner of the Platino Award for Best Ibero-American Documentary of the Year, The Padilla Affair is an astonishing film that explores aspects of Cuba’s past that still reverberate, including the struggle for freedom of expression.

This shocking return sends her widowed husband into turmoil and prompts their daughter Cecilia to return home to the family’s dairy farm with her children. A lyrical rumination on family, nature, renewal, and resurrection, The Cow Who Sang a Song into the Future is an ambitious proposal for acceptance and healing, suggesting that the dead return when they are most needed.

Nominated for Best International Feature at the 2023 Oscars, Argentina, 1985 is inspired by the true story of public prosecutors Julio Strassera and Luis Moreno Ocampo, who dared to investigate and prosecute Argentina’s bloodiest military dictatorship. Undeterred by the military’s still considerable influence within their fragile new democracy, Strassera and Moreno Ocampo assembled a young legal team of unlikely heroes for their David-vs-Goliath battle. Under constant threat to themselves and their families, they raced against time to bring justice to the victims of the military junta. Mitre’s film expertly balances emotional historical drama with moments of humor to create a dazzling film about fighting back against corruption and evil.

This year’s Guatemalan Oscar entry for Best International Feature Film is a potent documentary that uncovers the truths behind one of the most violent periods in the Central American country’s history.

Intending one house for his blind son and the other for those he can no longer travel to visit, he prepares fastidiously for a future he may not share with them, and reflects poetically on the past that led to this present. Sosa’s film is a marvel of presence, filled with gorgeously attentive images and casually revelatory moments born of patience and loving complicity.

In Spanish with English subtitles) In Argentina, a woman dies every week as the result of an illegal abortion. In 2018, for the seventh time, a motion supporting legal, secure, and free abortion was presented to the National Congress. The project provoked a fierce debate, revealing a society divided more than ever between the pro-life and freedom to choose positions. Through an assemblage of passionate testimonies, Let It Be Law documents the determination of women fighting bravely to secure the right to physical self-determination, and bears witness to their massive mobilization in the streets of Buenos Aires. Juan Solanas’s powerful, inspiring, and necessary documentary, which had its world premiere as an official selection of the Cannes Film Festival, reveals the urgent and vital struggle for the recognition of women’s rights.

The Batwoman is a fascinating and little known entry in the Batman superhero canon. Taking advantage of Batman’s increased popularity, director René Cardona, known later for his luchador adventures, aimed to showcase the talents of actress Maura Monti by splicing elements of “Batmania” with Mexico’s popular lucha libre style. Dressed in cape, cowl, boots, and bikini, Maura takes on the lead role of Batwoman, called upon to investigate an evil, whacked-out scientist who is capturing wrestlers for diabolical experiments.

Inspired by the characters Eduardo and Mônica, popularized by the hit song composed by Brazilian rock legend Renato Russo, Sampaio’s feature is a timeless and irresistible romantic comedy set in Brasilia in the mid-1980s. Braga (Queen of the South, City of God) and Leone star as the unlikely couple, a bohemian medical student and a goofy soap opera-loving high schooler, who must overcome seemingly unbridgeable differences for their love to survive.

Co-presented with the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at New York University and the Mexican Studies Institute at the City University of New York. Shot in Cuba in 1958—shortly before Fidel Castro entered Havana and the filmmakers were forced to flee prematurely (with the unprocessed 35mm negative smuggled inside a coffin)—Santo vs. the Evil Brain marks the cinematic debut of El Santo (Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta), the most famous and iconic of all Mexican luchadores. The silver-masked hero foils the plot of a mad scientist, who aims to create a zombie army by zapping his innocent victims with electric shocks. Santo vs. the Evil Brain sparked a series of 52 films in which El Santo fights supernatural creatures, evil scientists, and various criminals. New digital restoration!

In Spanish with English subtitles) With Ilse Salas, Fernando Xavier De Casta, Manolo Cardona Shortlisted for the Oscars in the International Feature category, the second fiction film by Panamanian director Abner Benaim (Invasion, Ruben Blades Is Not My Name) stars Mexican actress Ilse Salas (Güeros, The Good Girls) as Alicia, a woman whose seemingly perfect life was turned upside-down by the sudden death of her six-year-old son. Alicia’s grief is plagued by guilt, which has made her disassociate from society, from married life, and from herself. Now she lives in the Old Quarter of Panama City, a rich colonial enclave surrounded by the city’s poorest neighborhoods. There she meets Chief (Fernando Xavier De Casta), a street-smart 13-year-old who takes care of cars in front of her apartment and insists on getting paid for his job. Alicia keeps a safe distance from him, until one night Chief arrives at Alicia’s apartment bleeding from a gunshot wound and begs her to let him inside. Winner of the Best Actor and Best Actress Awards at the Guadalajara Film Festival, Plaza Catedral questions how far each of us would go to help a stranger. In a heartbreaking turn that substantiates the reality of gun violence addressed on screen, the film’s young protagonist was shot to death just months before the release of the film. “Reality intruded upon the film in the most tragic way,” said Benaim. “Fernando’s untimely death is harrowingly symbolic of a fractured society driven by violence and has become an inexorable part of Plaza Catedral‘s message.” Sunday, January 23, 6:30pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/cf1fc317-f89f-4ae3-9803-774b3c62e05d/PrayersfortheStolen.1.jpg Las Premieres - Make it stand out PRAYERS FOR THE STOLEN / NOCHE DE FUEGO A film by Tatiana Huezo (Mexico/Germany/Brazil/Qatar, 2021, 110 min.

In a solitary town in the Mexican mountains, the girls wear boyish haircuts and have underground hiding places. In the impenetrable universe of these young women, magic and joy abound; meanwhile, their mothers train them to flee from the men who turn them into slaves or ghosts. The follow-up to Huezo's masterwork of immersive nonfiction Tempestad is a bravura study in perspective, showing the daily joys and sorrows of the innocent living in the looming shadows of the merciless modern-day drug cartels.

When Sara, his internet love affair, goes missing, he drives to search for her in Bahia, in the northeast of the country. Thousands of miles from home, Daniel meets a man who can put the two in touch again, though under very specific conditions. Private Desert, the most recent film by up-and-coming director Aly Muritiba and winner of the Audience Award at Venice Days, is a gripping tale of an impossible love set under adverse conditions, and an engrossing inquiry into masculinity in contemporary Brazilian society.

A Cop Movie propels the viewer into an unusual cinematic space, giving voice to one of Mexico’s—and the world’s—most controversial institutions. A Netflix release.

Q&A with director Lucio Castro and actress Mia Maestro following End of the Century (which screens first). END OF THE CENTURY / FIN DE SIGLO A film by Lucio Castro (Argentina, 2019, 84 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) An Argentine man from New York and a Spanish man from Berlin hook up by chance while in Barcelona. What seems like a one-night encounter between two strangers (played by Juan Barberini and Ramón Pujol) becomes an epic, decades-spanning relationship, which Lucio Castro depicts in a nonlinear fashion in which time and space refuse to play by the rules. Castro’s inventive and enigmatic debut feature is consistently surprising, turning a love story into a cosmic voyage with no clear beginning or end. THE WAVES / LAS OLAS A film by Adrián Biniez (Uruguay/Argentina, 2017, 88 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) This intimate, nostalgic, and imaginative feature by Argentine-born, Uruguay-based filmmaker Adrián Biniez (Gigante, El Cinco) tells the story of Alfonso, a man in his late 30s who leaves work exhausted and goes to the beach. After diving into the water, he emerges on another shore, where younger versions of his parents await, calling for him. In this fantastic journey through different vacations of his life, chronology knows no bounds, and Alfonso encounters past girlfriends, friends from childhood, his daughter, and his loneliness. COULD SEE A PUMA / PUDE VER UN PUMA A film by Teddy Willians (Argentina, 2011, 18 min.

These three highly stylized and fascinating films, from Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile, go in that same direction, challenging and revisiting traditional narratives of South American history and presenting them as political allegories of the present. REY A film by Niles Atallah (Chile/France//The Netherlands/Germany/Italy/Qatar, 2017, 91 min. In Spanish and Mapuche with English subtitles) In 1860, an adventurous French lawyer named Orélie-Antoine de Tounens tried to create an independent state for Indigenous people in Araucanía (in present-day Chile) and Patagonia (Argentina), declaring himself king. In this experimental, hallucinatory interpretation of events grounded in formal technique, history and memory swirl, reflecting the ambiguity surrounding his true identity. Recipient of the Special Jury Prize at Rotterdam. THE MOVEMENT / EL MOVIMIENTO A film by Benjamín Naishtat (Argentina, 2015, 66 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) During the first half of the 19th century, an unhinged, despotic militia leader roams the desolated Argentina plains, where he kills and plunders settlers in the name of uniting and purifying society. Shot in black and white, this stark, highly stylized film continues director Benjamín Naishtat's exploration of Argentina’s violent past by dramatizing an extreme and terror-ridden period in its history.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Juliana Antunes’ debut feature offers an evocative, rigorously composed glimpse at life in the favelas of Belo Horizonte. Baronesa follows friends Leidiane and Andreia as their conversation flows freely across backyards and within cramped quarters, addressing the facts of life: family, drugs, sex, death. With its almost exclusively female crew and nonprofessional cast, Baronesa is structurally simple yet multilayered in its resonance, recalling the films of Pedro Costa as it establishes Antunes as a formidable new voice in Brazilian cinema. LONG WAY HOME / TEMPORADA A film by André Novais Oliveira (Brazil, 2018, 113 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles) This debut fiction film from André Novais Oliveira establishes him as a leading talent in contemporary Brazilian cinema. In a poignant story about everyday encounters and challenges, a woman moves from her Brazilian hometown to a larger city to work in the public health system, intent on eradicating disease. On the job, she meets new people, makes friends, and has new experiences that start little by little to change her life. At the same time, she feels she is losing touch with her husband as she waits for him to join her.

The films by these four filmmakers take a humorous and self-reflexive approach to tackle the fascination with these hegemonic narratives. BEYOND THE BEYOND / AL MÁS ALLÁ A film by Lourdes Portillo (USA/Mexico, 2008, 43 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) When a clueless filmmaker leads a fictional documentary crew through a Mexican beach town to interview local merchants and tour guides, she quickly discovers that more than information stands between her and the truth. A hybrid documentary that creatively blends reportage and narrative techniques, Al Más Allá investigates the contemporary realities of shifting global wealth and drug trafficking along the Mayan coastline of Mexico. ¡CHAPORAZZI! A film by César Martínez Barba (USA, 2020, 14 min.

FAUNA A film by Nicolás Pereda (Mexico/Canada, 2020, 70 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) An actress returns home to see her family and brings her boyfriend, an actor with a small part in a popular narco drama, and they cross paths with her estranged brother in this rural Mexican village. This trickster comedy of errors transforms into a more ominous story starring all the same actors, in different roles. Mixing realism and absurdity, it explores the unpredictability of place, culture, family, and performance. BOLIWOOD A film by Sergio Bastani (Bolivia, 2015, 8 min.

STILL BURN / ALGO QUEMA A film by Mauricio Alfredo Ovando (Bolivia, 2018, 77 min.

Examining the legacy of his impact—including the military campaign in which Che Guevara was killed—the filmmaker-grandson incorporates official archival footage, home movies, and interviews with relatives, weaving his family’s perspective with harsh events in history.

Elena risks losing custody when she refuses to continue medicating Tom after an accident alerts her of his treatment’s side effects. Set in the border city of El Paso, Texas, this gripping and intimate drama is anchored by potent performances from Julia Chávez and Israel Rodriguez Bertorelli.

New York Premiere) Buy Tickets The second fiction feature by Venezuelan director Lorenzo Vigas, whose From Afar was the first Latin American film to win the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, tells the story of Hatzín, a teenager from Mexico City who travels to the north of the country to collect the remains of his estranged father, who died under unknown circumstances.

In Spanish with English subtitles. North American Premiere) Buy Tickets Sofia Velázquez’s playful documentary debut was made in Santiago de Chuco, an Andean town in northern Peru, where the writer César Vallejo—one of the most important Latin American authors of the 20th century—was born and raised. The isolated town was also the main setting for the writer’s poems. Using the pretense of a casting call, the filmmaker records first-person tales to portray the memories of different people and, through them, that of an entire town. About Everything There Is to Know is an endearing film about fortuitous encounters informed by the legacy and aura of a literary icon. Preceded by THE STILLNESS SYNDROME / SÍNDROME DE LOS QUIETOS (León Siminiani, 2021, Colombia/Spain, 31 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Using a hypothetical syndrome of stillness as an anchor, filmmaker Léon Siminiani delves into the idiosyncrasies and history of Colombia, a playful dystopian essay featuring the late filmmaker Luis Ospina as its protagonist.

After her teacher Luisa discovers Yuliana’s secret, she decides to help, though this alters their lives and fosters a complex and intense relationship. In her third feature, Costa Rican director Paz Fábrega delicately dramatizes different perspectives on motherhood and maternity, creating a film about the limits afforded by social structures, established mandates, legal resources, and acquired responsibilities.

Shot on the streets of El Paso and Ciudad Juárez in sobering black and white, this vérité-style film is a raw yet profoundly compassionate and respectful portrait of people living on the edge.

U.S. Premiere) Buy Tickets In his third feature, Uruguayan writer-director Manolo Nieto (The Dog Pound, The Militant) continues his insightful and provocative examination of class conflict with a slow-burn drama set in the countryside, close to the Brazilian border. Acclaimed Argentine actor Nahuel Pérez Biscayart [BPM (Beats Per Minute)] stars as Rodrigo, a young landowner whose most pressing concern is his baby’s health. He hires Carlos, an inexperienced teenager looking for a job to support his own newborn.

Paula means to install a large pool on the property, but after the huge ditch is dug there’s no money left to finish the project. Crises both economic and marital loom. In this debut feature, produced by acclaimed Brazilian production collective Filmes de Plástico, Thais Fujinaga portrays the routines of a middle-class family, full of broken promise, in search of escape and happiness. Preceded by DEAR CHANTAL / QUERIDA CHANTAL (Nicolás Pereda, Mexico/Spain, 2021, 5 min. In Spanish with English subtitles. U.S. Premiere) Some unanswered letters, an apartment for rent in the Mexico City neighborhood of Coyoacán, a painting that doesn’t quite find its place, and reflections on cinema and life.

One day, he encounters two mysterious masked beings who inspire him to compose music. This debut feature by director Nico Manzano, who also wrote the film’s songs and served as cinematographer, is a deadpan comedy about finding meaning in the least expected of places.

Make it stand out CORINA (Urzula Barba Hopfner, Mexico, 2024, 96 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) *Presented by filmmaker Urzula Barba Hopfner with a post-film Q&A Buy Tickets Set in Guadalajara during the early aughts, the auspicious and quirky debut by Úrzula Barba Hopfner tells the story of Corina, a young woman who has rarely left home in 20 years, except for her job at a local publishing house. To save her job after making a grave mistake in the company’s most famous book saga, she must confront her fears and embark on a journey to track down a mysterious writer. Starring Naian González Norvind (New Order) and Cristo Fernández (Ted Lasso), Corina won the Audience Award at the SXSW Film Festival and is an uplifting, endearing fable reminiscent of Amélie about embracing the unknown.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Set in the sweltering summer of 2001 amid Argentina’s looming economic collapse, The Virgin of the Quarry Lake is a visceral, supernatural, coming‑of‑age horror that melds teenage desire with dark folklore. Best friends Natalia, Mariela, and Josefina are bound by youth and an all‑consuming crush on their longtime friend Diego—until an older, more worldly woman captures his attention. Heartbroken and desperate, Natalia turns to whispered spells and ancestral incantations in a bid to reclaim love, but what begins as jealousy soon morphs into something far more sinister. As the oppressive heat and social unrest build, so does Natalia’s transformation, leading her into uncharted territory of self‑empowerment, rage, and terrifying consequence. Gorgeously atmospheric and unsettlingly precise, Laura Casabé’s film conjures the volcanic emotional landscape of adolescence with supernatural dread.

In Portuguese with English subtitles) Buy Tickets The latest film from visionary director Gabriel Mascaro (Neon Bull) is a striking dystopian drama set in near‑future Brazil, where the government relocates seniors to isolated colonies under the guise of economic “well‑being.” Seventy‑seven‑year‑old Tereza refuses to accept forced retirement and instead embarks on a clandestine journey through the Amazon, encountering unexpected companions who help her reclaim freedom and possibility. Anchored by a powerful lead performance from Denise Weinberg and co-starring Rodrigo Santoro, the film celebrates resilience, intergenerational connection, and the courage to defy ageist and authoritarian constraints. Saturday, April 25, 3pm — Brown Auditorium Theater https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/3e90f176-8e32-4d62-931e-701e20653c88/large_Runa_Simi-Clean-16x9-01.png Latin Wave - Make it stand out RUNA SIMI (Augusto Zegarra, Peru, 2025, 81 min. InQuechua, Spanish, and English with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Fernando Valencia is an Indigenous voice artist, activist, painter, and devoted single father from Cusco, who began a project to reimagine iconic animated scenes in Quechua, also known as Runa Simi, the ancestral language of the Incas. When millions of viewers respond with enthusiasm and pride, Fernando sets out on a quixotic quest: dubbing Disney’s The Lion King with the help of his energetic eight-year-old son. Armed with relentless determination, he confronts rejection, setbacks, and self-doubt, transforming a personal passion into a powerful call for language justice. The debut feature by Augusto Zegarra—winner of the Albert Maysles Award for Best New Documentary Director at the Tribeca Film Festival—celebrates Indigenous resilience, cultural pride, and the vital importance of representation. Saturday, April 25, 5pm — Brown Auditorium Theater https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/44653d7f-93d9-4582-b650-ac9b2d47f2dd/A-Poet.jpg Latin Wave - Make it stand out A POET / UN POETA (Simón Mesa Soto, Colombia/Germany/Sweden, 2025, 120 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Óscar (first-time actor Ubeimar Rios) is an erratic failed writer who has given up on life. He wanders the streets of Medellín in a drunken stupor, lamenting the state of literature in Colombia and embodying the cliché of the tortured artist. When the opportunity arises to mentor a young student, he sees a chance at redemption—if he doesn’t screw it up first. Simón Mesa Soto’s darkly comic and caustic second feature, winner of the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, is a raw, riotous farce where good deeds collide with the universe’s cruelly poetic sense of humor. Saturday, April 25, 7:15pm — Brown Auditorium Theater https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/99f9c918-3dee-4a5d-88a2-3b15d6a8b8fd/01+Preferred+-+Still+UCS_13-+crop.png Latin Wave - Make it stand out A LOOSE END / UN CABO SUELTO (Daniel Hendler, Uruguay/Argentina/Spain, 2025, 95 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Santiago, an Argentine cop on the run, crosses into Uruguay to escape his own colleagues. There, he navigates a series of unpredictable obstacles, relying on quick wit and the unexpected kindness of strangers. As he begins to rebuild a life he never imagined, he discovers a fragile sense of belonging and meets a woman who might be the love of his life. What starts as a desperate flight evolves into an offbeat journey of reinvention, chance, and quiet resilience. The latest film by acclaimed actor-director Daniel Hendler blends existential comedy with the spirit of a road movie and the tension of a thriller, offering a richly textured portrait of the Uruguayan countryside and the unpredictable paths that life can take. Saturday, April 25, 9:30pm — Lynn Wyatt Theater https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/cc42d144-2e0e-49fc-a875-d2ddc4da3c62/1920.jpg Latin Wave - Make it stand out CAMISEA (Enrique Bellande, Argentina, 2005, 68 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) *Presented by Guillermo Goldschmidt, project manager, PROA with post-film Q&A Buy Tickets One of the most ambitious engineering projects ever undertaken in Latin America becomes the subject of Camisea, a film that contemplates how infrastructure changes reshaped Peru by extending natural gas across its coastal region. The narrative observes the passage of time, the physical effort involved, and the human presence embedded within a transformation of such immense scale. Filmed deep in the jungle and high in the Andes, Camisea was shot in territories where Werner Herzog filmed Fitzcarraldo just over 20 years earlier, invoking a shared cinematic lineage marked by obsession, endurance, and landscapes that assert their own logic. Directed by Enrique Bellande (BAFICI Award winner, 2003), the picture was shot on Super 16mm and recently restored in 4K. Camisea offers an immersive cinematic experience in which monumental ambition contends with intimacy and restraint. Sunday, April 26, 1pm — Lynn Wyatt Theater https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/ae3b6555-5641-43f8-b094-930363017491/The-Mysterious-Gaze-of-the-Flamingo-film-still-1.jpg Latin Wave - Make it stand out THE MYSTERIOUS GAZE OF THE FLAMINGO / LA MIRADA MISTERIOSA DEL FLAMENCO (Diego Céspedes, Chile/France, 2025, 109 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Buy Tickets Set in a dusty Chilean mining town in 1982, The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo follows young Lidia as she grows up within a vibrant household led by drag performers and trans women. When a mysterious illness sows fear and hysteria, the community becomes the target of suspicion and violence. In his debut feature, Diego Céspedes crafts a haunting allegory of love, myth, and prejudice, reimagining the early AIDS era as a western infused with poetic intimacy and desert-dry surrealism. Winner of the Un Certain Regard Award at the Cannes Film Festival, this potent period drama honors Chile’s proud legacy of queer cinema while confronting bigotry with both vengeance and compassion.

In Portuguese, German and English with English subtitles) Buy Tickets The most celebrated Latin American film of the year—nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture—The Secret Agent is a genre-defying political thriller from acclaimed filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho (Bacurau). Set in Recife during Brazil’s military dictatorship in 1977, this electrifying neo-noir stars Wagner Moura in a career-defining performance as a widowed technology researcher who becomes an unwitting target at the heart of a political maelstrom. On the run from mercenary killers and haunted by the past, he must navigate a tense, unpredictable world of danger and deception to escape the country with his young son. With the help of a mysterious woman and her underground resistance allies, he confronts the city’s volatile spirit in a story that blends suspense, political intrigue, and a cinematic homage to Filho’s youth.

In Spanish with English subtitles) “Despite the fact that I have directed more than 102 films in which Cantinflas does not appear, people still identify me as his director; all the films I made with him were made with direct sound, because due to his peculiar way of speaking, it was practically impossible for Mario Moreno to do dubbing.” –Miguel M. Delgado The classic “grotesque farce” that launched a widely adored 33-film collaboration between the legendary Cantinflas (Mario Moreno) and director Miguel Melitón Delgado, The Unknown Policeman is a marvelously joke-a-minute comedy about mistaken identity. It stars the iconic comic as Chato, a poor chap who, desperate for his wife and mother-in-law’s approval, gets into a scuffle with a gang of thieves and emerges as the heroic Agent 777—a master of disguise and the actor’s most beloved, oft-revisited creation. Hailed by Chaplin himself as the world’s greatest comedian, Cantinflas—with his own ragamuffin tiny mustache, grubby vest, and a rope for a belt—was something like the Tramp by way of Abbott & Costello… and something else entirely new: a virtuosic subversive who used his physicality, acerbic wit, and hilarious gift of gab to satirize everyone from the police to politicians to social elites.

In Spanish with English subtitles) “Amok? I think it’s about… a kind of drunkenness among the Malays. It is more than a drunkenness… it is a madness, a kind of human rage… an attack of homicidal, senseless monomania, which cannot be compared to any alcoholic intoxication…” –Stefan Zweig Directed by Antonio Momplet and starring Julián Soler and the ever-stunning Maria Félix (pulling double duty as a blonde and a brunette, by turns sensual and powerful), Amok is a feat of production design and a pictorially ravishing literary adaptation of love, madness, and death during World War II. It follows an alcoholic doctor (Soler) who flees to India after losing his fortune pleasing his insatiable lover. While abroad, he catches sight of another woman, who looks disturbingly similar to his old flame. The Spanish-born Momplet (who escaped the Civil War and fled to Argentina before settling in Mexico) brought Stefan Zweig’s eponymous novella to the big screen on a scale hitherto unseen in Mexican cinema, which involved tediously recreating a transatlantic ship, a Monte Carlo casino, palaces, and tropical jungles.

In Spanish with English subtitles) A seminal masterpiece of the comedia ranchera—a cowboy comedy distinctive for its musical sequences and ranch setting—The Three Garcías follows Luis Antonio (iconic singer Pedro Infante), José Luis (Abel Salazar), and Luis Manuel (Víctor Manuel Mendoza) as a trio of quarrelsome cousins who have grown up under the care of their strict Doña Luisa García (Sara García, aka “Mexico’s Grandmother”). Chaos mounts with the arrival of their fourth cousin, the beautiful American Lupita Smith (Marga López), who provokes an insane and crazy competition among the three men. Director Ismael Rodríguez, who lived in Los Angeles acting in experimental films before returning to Mexico in 1942, crafted one of the country’s most beloved works with this effortless depiction of the values and fears of Mexico’s rural side. The film was such a box-office success that the cast reprised their roles for the sequel, The Return of García, made that same year. Courtesy of UNAM Film Archive Collection.

A film by Alejandro Galindo (Mexico, 1948, 115 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) This musical-inflected pro-labor union comedy from Alejandro Galindo—a pioneering chronicler of the travails of workaday Mexicans—charts the chaos that erupts when a bus driver (David Silva, Wetbacks) and his ticket-ripping coworker (Fernando Soto “Mantequilla,” one of the era’s most recognizable supporting comic actors) are suspended after deviating from their route for the lovely Cholita (Olga Jiménez) and subsequently caught in the crossfire of two rival transportation companies. Corner Stop! is as much a finely detailed, lovingly drawn snapshot of a rapidly growing Mexico City and the broad-toned jargon of its new urban proletariat as it is an incendiary critique of urban sprawl, workers’ rights, and the universal pains of customer service.

In Spanish and English with English subtitles) An actor’s director who excelled in melodramatic terrain, Chilean-born filmmaker Tito Davison made more than 60 films, many of them in Mexico, and was known in Hollywood for the anti–counter culture cult movie The Big Cube. Based on a story by the poet Xavier Villaurrutia and infused with the spirit of Casablanca and Notorious, his second feature—meant to rehabilitate the iconic María Félix’s career—is this moody World War II-era espionage-thriller that unfolds in a Mexico City teeming with con artists, double agents, and European expats with a secret or two. Félix (who can also be seen in Amok) stars as Lena, a beautiful and mysteriously sinister refugee haunted by her past and chased into the arms of a rich, unsuspecting industrialist (Fernando Soler)… not for love, but for information. May God Forgive Me transforms its woman-in-trouble mystery of double-crossings, love triangles, and murder into a disillusioned reflection on the sweeping consequences of war and dictatorships, marked by a rare degree of sympathy for its femme fatale protagonist.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Tin Tan (Germán Valdés) and Gilberto Martínez Solares were a renowned cinematic duo, and The King of the Neighborhood is among their most celebrated collaborations: a delightfully charming comedy, as Martínez Solares himself described it, “about a good man who wants to be bad.” Something like Robin Hood filtered through The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Tin Tan is as much a railroad engineer who single-handedly cares for his son as he is a con artist who specializes in robbing rich ladies and redistributing their wealth to his like-minded swindler friends and protected neighbors, one of whom is Carmelita (Silvia Pinal, star of Viridiana, The Exterminating Angel, and Simon of the Desert). But his grift turns complicated when an outlandish bachelorette (fellow iconic comedian Vitola) wants to marry him. An icon of Mexican-American border culture, typified by his heavy usage of Spanglish and bad-mannered pachucostyle, Tin Tan melded the picaresque with his inimitable physical humor to become one of the most beloved comedians of his time.

In Spanish with English subtitles) One of the most prolific and venturesome directors in Mexican cinema (and occasional Sam Peckinpah actor), Chano Urueta (The Witch’s Mirror) worked in nearly every genre across a body of work spanning 115 films, and this 1949 feature is among his most singular. Part biographical documentary, part pulpy boxing film, The Great Champion marvels at the life and unparalleled stamina of Luis Villanueva “Kid Azteca” (also known as Kid D.F., Kid México, or Kid Moctezuma), played by the longstanding welterweight champion himself. Exulting in on-location footage of Mexico City’s Tepito neighborhood and in-the-ring boxing matches, shaded with a dark noir undercurrent for extra audience appeal, Urueta delivers a grandly entertaining genre picture around Villanueva’s rise to the world championship. The boxer dedicated the film to “his dear mother Luisa Páramo and the great Mexican audience,” considering the many who would never be able to afford a ticket to one of his matches in person.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Pueblerina, a key film from Emilio “el Indio” Fernández, is among his most eloquent variations on the rural melodrama, underpinned by themes of injustice, revenge, and redemption. Gloriously shot on location by Gabriel Figueroa (Take Me in Your Arms, The Unknown Policeman), whose superbly composed frames lend an unassuming grandeur to its landscapes and characters, the film follows Aurelio Rodríguez (Roberto Cañedo), who returns to his town after serving a prison sentence, only to find his fiancée Paloma (the singer and artist Columba Domínguez, and Fernández’s favorite actress) living on the edge of town and pregnant. A forlorn masterpiece of understatement and visual splendor, Pueblerina was a massive success in Mexico and abroad at the time of its release. Fernández would remake it 30 years later as his penultimate work, México Norte. Restored by the Laboratorio de Restauración Digital de La Cineteca Nacional. Televisa, S. de R.L. de C.V.

In Spanish with English subtitles) “¡Wereme!” Fernando Méndez’s wildly entertaining gangster melodrama captured the magnetic on-screen presence of Víctor Parra (Wetbacks) alongside the hip gestures and jargon of an entire generation. Reaching Cagney levels of style, Parra stars as the titular Spanglish-speaking pachuco who loves zoot suits and his mother but gets in a little over his head after using the local mob to destroy a taxi driver’s life. By its final act, The Suave One feels closer to an RKO horror film—unsurprisingly, Méndez would make some of his most influential films in the genre—and remains a memorable look at the pitfalls of angsty youth and their flirtations with the criminal underworld, highlighted by Manuel Gómez Urquiza’s ink-black cinematography and featuring songs by Elpidio Ramírez and Dámaso Pérez Prado. The film’s release was postponed for nearly a year because some officials felt its violence harmed the carefully constructed image of Mexico City.

In Spanish with English subtitles) The Rumberas film was a popular and uniquely Mexican Golden Age genre that drew from Hollywood film noir and injected it with a dose of social criticism, and its protagonists were Afro-Caribbean dancers-cum-femmes fatales who unapologetically subverted social mores. Alberto Gout, synonymous with the Rumberas film, reached the genre’s apex of depravity with Sensuality, a deliriously kitsch-smitten melodrama of sexual subjugation and perverse pleasures. The rumbera here is the compassionless Aurora (an incandescent Ninón Sevilla, Take Me in Your Arms), who wreaks vengeance on the judge who put her and her pimp in jail. Sevilla, who dedicated her life to cinema and died at the age of 94, was described by François Truffaut as a challenge to bourgeois patterns—the eroticized world of the rumberas, the melodramatic halo of her characters, and singular musicality were attractive to a stereotypical European gaze.

In English with Spanish subtitles) One of the first women to helm a feature in Mexico, Matilde Landeta stood out in an industry dominated by men by self-financing her earliest productions. In her third and last feature as a director, based on an idea by the journalist Luis Spota, she crafted a strikingly nuanced portrayal of sex work that was truly ahead of its time. It follows two sisters with radically different lives: Maria (Elda Peralta, The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales), who—along with her supportive group of fellow sex workers—must deal with unscrupulous, abusive clients and her exploitative pimp, Rudy (Ernesto Alonso); and Elena (Miroslava Stern, Stranger on Horseback), a society woman trapped in a marriage of convenience, who falls prey to Rudy’s fortune-seeking seduction. In spite of its melodramatic structure, which the film’s producers applied as a way to remold its timely, social-realist subject matter, the film slyly sidesteps generic formulas and flies in the face of feminine heroine archetypes. Matilde, who founded the Sala Tlalpan in Mexico City, and continues to inspire women filmmakers throughout Latin America, described Streetwalker as such: “Instead of making a history of selfless women, I wanted to create a history of women who had done something in life. I wanted to make my films about women I know and feel are true.” Courtesy of Filmoteca UNAM’s collection.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Marcos, a pelota (or jai alai) player keeps a constellation of adoring women in close orbit: the worldly-wise cabaret singer Lucrecia; Sara, rich and slightly older; and Rebeca, a young woman from a good family who discovers she’s pregnant. Buried under gambling debts, Armando, Rebeca’s brother, blackmails Marcos into throwing some important matches, but the plan fails, making Marcos a target of the mob. Robert Gavaldón had an instinctual feel for the surrealistic heart beating below the surface of film noir; the action and subplots pile on so fast and thick that what remains most vivid is an overwhelming sense of corruption that seems to be the rule rather than the exception in daily life. The screenplay was adapted (by Gavaldón, José Revueltas, and Jesús Cárdenas) from stories by Luis Spota, a journalist known for trawling the back alleys and dark passages of Mexican society.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Cesar Romero is caught between Rebeca Iturbide (The Three Garcías, The Night Falls) and Katy Jurado (High Noon) in the first 3-D feature film ever produced in Mexico, a visually inventive and frequently funny swashbuckler set in the twilight years of Moorish Spain. Co-directed by Edward Dein, who co-wrote Jacques Tourneur’s The Leopard Man, and Disney animator-turned-director Carlos Véjar Jr., The Sword of Granada brings together the ever-valiant Don Pedro de Rivera (Romero) and his sidekicks Ponce de León (Tito Junco) and Lolita (Jurado) as they infiltrate a Moor-occupied Spanish castle to seek revenge, the elixir of life, and a gold-making formula concocted by the caliph’s alchemist. They might even rescue the caliph’s niece (Iturbide) from an arranged marriage, too. Throughout, Dein and Véjar Jr. pack every second of their rousing adventure with action and movement, taking full advantage of every trick of the stereoscopic image.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Writing in his autobiography, My Last Sigh, Luis Buñuel recalled the basis of The River and Death, a bloody and scathingly contrarian pueblo-western made in the middle of his filmmaking career in Mexico (1947–65): “I’ve always been fascinated by the ease with which certain people can kill others, and this idea runs throughout the film in the form of a series of simple and apparently gratuitous murders.” Penned by his frequent scribe Luis Alcoriza (The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales, showing in this series), who adapted Miguel Álvarez Acosta’s 1952 novel White Wall on a Black Rock, the film concerns the final chapter of a generations-old blood feud between two families, and their remaining sons (Miguel Torruco and Joaquín Cordero) compelled to end the dispute once and for all. Buñuel examines, with supreme irony and in reaction to what he noted as a “dramatic aspect of Latin American culture,” an environment pressed between violence and deep-rooted traditions, and sharply deconstructs the images of other rural melodramas made during this period.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Class conflicts and erotic torments come to a head in Julio Bracho’s formally daring masterpiece, one of the most important melodramas of the decade. Take Me in Your Arms follows a fisherman’s daughter (the incomparable Ninón Sevilla, also serving as an uncredited producer with brothers Pedro and Guillermo Calderón) through a nightmare of exploitation and misery—along the way becoming a famous soubrette—in order to erase her father’s debts while she tries, again and again, to reunite with her true love (Armando Silvestre). Bracho and esteemed cinematographer Gabriel Figueroa (The Unknown Policeman, Pueblerina) bring exquisite atmospherics to each shot with carefully calibrated lighting and meticulous compositions—on location in Veracruz or via stunningly designed and choreographed musical sequences—but the film equally belongs to Sevilla, whose unforgettable performance elevates this rapturous portrait of agitated desire into something far more complicated and ahead of its time.

In Spanish with English subtitles) “In this land, dreams come at a very high price.” Alejandro Galindo’s high-strung melodrama-western about border crossing and undocumented immigrants is as timely and lacerating today as it was in 1955. Based on a story by Juan Rulfo, Wetbacks follows Rafael Améndola (David Silva), one of the many Mexican workers who make a perilous journey to the United States in search of the so-called American Dream. Instead he lives in constant anxiety and is alienated by Americans and Mexican-Americans alike (among them, a bleach-blonde and wicked Víctor Parra). It was the first film to seriously address the issues faced by Mexicans in the United States, and the Mexican government delayed its release for two years out of fear of incensing its northern neighbor. Galindo, who had been accused of “distorting reality,” beautifully and humanely expresses the insecurity and danger of illegal migration alongside the equally daunting obstacles faced in an unknown land: labor exploitation, discrimination, culture shock, loneliness, and isolation.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Leave it to frequent Buñuel scriptwriter Luis Alcoriza (The River and Death, The Exterminating Angel, Él) and comic maestro Rogelio Antonio González (co-writer of The Three Garcías) to craft one of the greatest macabre comedies of Mexican cinema. An uproarious Arturo de Córdova (The Kneeling Goddess) stars as Mr. Pablo Morales, an affable taxidermist who for 20 years has been psychologically tormented by his puritanical wife (Amparo Rivelles, delightfully hateable). She despises everything about him—his vocation, his amateur photography hobby, his friendship with the neighborhood kids—but nevertheless he still loves her. Every man has his limits, though, even a doting husband, and one day Pablo meticulously plans the perfect murder…. A freewheeling mixing of genres—horror, comedy, courtroom drama—and a personal favorite of Guillermo del Toro, The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales gleefully twists the knife into the hypocrisies of middle-class respectability, satirizing everything from crumbling marriages to the Catholic church to the justice system.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Independently financed by Galindo (which required mortgaging his house) in response to the true crime radio craze of the 1950s, this ingenious, relentlessly narrated experimental “documentary” veers radically from horror-noir to forensic realism to abstract-surrealist collage to police propaganda and back again. Exploring a real homicide case in a singular fashion, which begins after a mutilated corpse is fished out of a Mexico City canal, Galindo presents an investigation into the (then) cutting-edge forensic technology police had at their disposal to solve crimes—in cold, methodical fashion—and examine the pathologies behind them. A boldly outlandish whatsit, The Mind and the Crime is a police procedural like you’ve never seen, organized according to the ineffable logic of a nightmare. Courtesy of Filmoteca UNAM’s collection.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Based on a script by Carlos Enrique Taboada—later widely known for his own horror tetralogy, which culminated with the Ariel Award winner Poison for the Fairies (1984)—The Witch’s Mirror is an endlessly suggestive, cleverly film-literate supernatural chiller from pioneering director Chano Urueta (The Great Champion). A whiplash-inducing cross between Rebecca, Eyes Without a Face, and The Hands of Orlac, set inside a nondescript hacienda in Mexico, the film concerns a housekeeper/witch (Isabela Corona) who concocts a beyond-the-grave revenge scheme after her goddaughter is murdered by her philandering doctor husband… who experiments on corpses. Making the absolute most out of a modest budget, Urueta constructs an increasingly unsettling film with unhinged twists and profound ideas concerning fate and societal standards of beauty.

THE VAMPIRE WOMEN / SANTO CONTRA LAS MUJERES VAMPIRO A film by Alfonso Corona Blake (Mexico, 1962, 90 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Wrestling culture was wildly popular in the 1950s. By the following decade, it was a full-fledged phenomenon that cinema capitalized on with lucha libre films, which mixed the sport’s intense fairground spectacle with the mystery enshrined by its satin-masked marquee names, who transformed into superheroes battling evil—human or supernatural—in films that embraced a wild combination of genres and cinematic influences. Perhaps no other figure epitomized this brand of Mexican wrestler cinema more than the ever-charismatic Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta, better known by his ring name El Santo. In this cult film classic, which inspired so many other productions in its wake with its sui generis combination of exciting fight sequences, clever special effects, and sense of humor, El Santo is tasked with thwarting a group of lady vampires from kidnapping a professor’s daughter and marrying her to the devil.

In Spanish with English subtitles) For their third B. Traven adaptation together, Roberto Gavaldón and lead Ignacio López Tarso recruited the frequent Luis Buñuel scenarist Julio Alejandro to craft this unsettling, surrealist-tinged melodrama with a certain Hitchcockian fondness for double lives. Pina Pellicer stars as Luisa, a young woman from the countryside, who travels to the capital and goes to work for Albino (Tarso), the widowed owner of a candy shop. Her new employer soon develops a fondness for Luisa, who insists—to everyone around her—that within weeks she’ll be marrying her boyfriend Carlos, a driver for a wealthy family. Yet something seems amiss: Carlos never shows up to spend Christmas Eve with Luisa, and furthermore forgets to give her a present. Her wedding day finally comes, and Luisa heads off to the church, and waits… and waits. Gavaldón here looks at the new, middle-class culture then spreading rapidly in urban Mexico, exposing how appearances too often replace any real substance in even the most intimate relations.

In Spanish with English subtitles) Perhaps the pinnacle of Mexican camp, made the same year as the finale of the Adam West–starring American television series, The Batwoman is a zippy, action-packed, delightfully deranged comic book movie that draws on everything from Batmania and The Creature from the Black Lagoon to the world of lucha libre to Mexico’s tourism industry. After the bodies of several luchadores wash ashore on the scenic Acapulco coast, local police have no one to turn to but the legendary Batwoman (Italian actress Maura Monti), a masked, blue-bikini-wearing vigilante who uses her personal wealth to confront a deranged scientist hell-bent on creating a breed of underwater wrestlers. Ultra-prolific René Cardona, whose career spanned Mexico’s Golden Age and beyond, laces his direction with an uncategorizable tone that swings somewhere between ironic and dead serious—a charming subversion that keeps the film as fun today as it was in 1968. 4K restoration by Permanencia Voluntaria and Cinema Preservation Alliance with the generous support of Academy Film Archive, Paso del Norte Community Foundation, and FOCINE.

A flirtation with a former student, Laura (Camila Hirane), brings promise for the future.

In Spanish and Wichí with English subtitles) In the early 1990s, as the Wichí community of northern Argentina fought for legal recognition of their ancestral territory, a young man named Miguel Ángel Lorenzo began filming what he knew best: everyday life. With a Hi8 camcorder in hand, he recorded walks through the forest, and shared routines, school gatherings, visits between neighbors, and moments when the outside world intruded – including the presence of a judge. Decades later, filmmaker Daniela Seggiaro returns to these images, assembling a film shaped by Indigenous perspectives and community memory. Our Demand moves beyond the courtroom to reveal a worldview in which land is not property but a living relationship, where language, forest, and communal life are inseparable. The result is a quietly powerful testament to a struggle that is at once legal, cultural, and profoundly existential.

In Spanish with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere! The third feature by director Chris Gude (Mambo Cool) is a lyrical, immersive documentary that journeys deep into Venezuela’s Guayana region, where vast gold reserves lie hidden beneath groves of moriche palms. Guided by a fictional explorer’s voice, the film moves from remote jungle mining camps to the banks of the Orinoco River, mapping the extraction and commercialization of gold while questioning extractive practices and humanity’s fraught relationship with the land. Using evocative visuals, hand-drawn illustrations, 16mm film, and atmospheric sound, and through the voices and labors of the miners, the film explores the destructive relationship between people, land, and the global demand for resources. Juxtaposing the slow processes of geology with the urgency of extractive capitalism, Morichales becomes a poetic meditation on fortune, survival, ecological cost, nature, labor, and value.

In Spanish with English subtitles) New York premiere “A game played by two – a father and a daughter. This game, involving chemicals in a film lab, becomes a bridge between two generations who understand and experience photography in very different ways. Will they be able to understand each other? Will they reconnect after the scars of a violent national history, exile, and complex family dynamics? Artist Celeste Rojas Mugica crafts a hybrid, first-person film that reconstructs, with singular humor and a precise touch, the memory of her father amid the political violence of Chile’s dictatorship. Winner of the Jury Special Mention at FIDMarseille 2024, An Oscillating Shadow embraces the ontology of cinema to explore how images from the past can still illuminate our present selves – especially within our most intimate and sensitive circles.” —Matías Piñeiro Wednesday, December 17, 7pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/e76e6e9d-01ea-4eda-bf3d-5e0cce00b007/UlisesPlebeyo.jpg Lost & Found - Make it stand out PLEBEIAN ULYSSES / ULISES PLEBEYO A film by César González (Argentina, 2024, 68 min. No dialogue) North American premiere “Prolific Argentine filmmaker and poet César González has been crafting one of the most original and groundbreaking bodies of work in contemporary Argentine cinema. Yet, far too little of it has been screened in the U.S.—and it’s time to change that. González has authored books of poetry, novels, and essays on cinema, that depict life on the margins of society—a life he has lived and continues to live intensely. This experience resonates deeply in each of his films. Plebeian Ulysses is his most experimental work to date. A collage, an agitprop travelogue, a kaleidoscope of sounds and images – it seeks to awaken the beauty of everyday life in a world the middle class has been taught not to see, but to fear. Filmmaker Lucrecia Martel has described his work as ‘a modest sewer through which the ideas with which we mask our privileges seep.’ Plebeian Ulysses is a patchwork of contrasting fragments that bloom like the sharp petals of a copper shiny rose.” —Matías Piñeiro Wednesday, November 19, 7pm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/21462cd6-141c-4477-af62-af25a2aa1977/1374353.jpeg-1.webp Lost & Found - Make it stand out EARTH ALTARS / LA TIERRA LOS ALTARES A film by Sofía Peypoch (Mexico, 2023, 68 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) In her haunting debut feature, Mexican filmmaker and visual artist Sofía Peypoch returns to the site of her kidnapping, undertaking a visceral excavation of memory beneath the earth’s surface. Through intimate, tactile gestures – her hands probing the soil alongside others replicating this chimerical act – the film weaves personal trauma with ancestral history, positioning the earth as an unyielding witness that refuses to forget. Combining film, photography, ceramic sculpture, and found objects, Peypoch crafts a sensory meditation on memory as a living, mutable space where past and present converge. EARTH ALTARS intricately explores how archaeology lends historical depth to intimate trauma, creating a profound dialogue between personal and collective histories.

After a catastrophic flood devastates her rural land, Joana flees to São Paulo with her sister and grandson, struggling to rebuild her life amid the city’s chaos, haunted by what she left behind. Meanwhile, Flavia, grappling with her estranged father’s death, moves with her wife Mara to his remote farm, confronting lingering family ghosts and unresolved grief.

In In Spanish with English subtitles) The third feature by Argentine filmmaker María Aparicio, winner of the Cinema Tropical Award for Best Latin American Film, Undefined Things is a delicate meditation on cinema, memory, and mourning. Eva, a 50-year-old film editor – portrayed with quiet grace by Eva Bianco – is working with her young assistant, Rami, on a documentary about people living with blindness, while grappling with the recent death of Juan, a filmmaker friend whose films she once edited. As loneliness and doubt begin to settle into her daily life, Eva starts to question her relationship to cinema and the meaning of her craft. With a subtle and introspective narrative, the film explores the boundaries between fiction and documentary and the persistence of images as traces of the past.

But when a powerful storm prevents the crew from arriving, she finds herself stranded and alone. As she seeks relief for a sudden bout of severe back pain, María begins to discover the rhythms of life in the world’s southernmost city – and with it, an unresolved chapter from her own past. The latest film by acclaimed director José Luis Torres Leiva features María Alché—the Argentine director of A Family Submerged and star of Lucrecia Martel’s The Holy Girl—in a quietly luminous performance. Meditative and atmospheric, the film unfolds like a diary of solitude and revelation, capturing the fragile beauty of place, memory, and the passage of time.

No dialogue) New York Premiere! Silent Witnesses is an imaginative journey through the history of Colombia—and its cinema—during the tumultuous first half of the 20th century, using exclusively the surviving footage of Colombian silent cinema. This melodrama tells the impossible love story between Efraín and Alicia, set against the political upheaval in the early 1900s. The story begins with Efraín falling in love with Alicia, a woman promised to Uribe, a powerful and vengeful strongman. Their romance quickly unfolds into a journey through the heart of the jungle, where Efraín witnesses the dire conditions of peasants in the southern region and the birth of an armed rebellion. This film is the last work of the late Luis Ospina, one of the most influential filmmakers in Latin American cinema, and the debut feature of producer and film critic Jerónimo Atehortúa.

In Spanish with English subtitles) U.S. Premiere! “A leading light of the New Argentine Cinema (with Lucrecia Martel and Lisandro Alonso, among others) at the end of the 1990s, Martín Rejtman is best known for his minimalist fiction. His second documentary is set in Buenos Aires during the pandemic and follows delivery drivers for local UberEats clone apps, the majority of which are Venezuelans who have fled the crisis ravaging their country. The precise framing highlights the mechanical aspect behind the work that these young men do. Constantly on the go, carrying their fluorescent, cube-shaped delivery bags, they have become the paradoxically invisible icons of 2.0 platforms. However, Rejtman also intends to give them depth by filming the day-to-day life of Joel and his brother, particularly their private life. These two ‘riders’, recently arrived in Argentina, put human faces on the anonymous collective of delivery drivers, and establish a connection with the second part of the film, which was shot in their home country. Through exceptionally fluid editing work, the Argentinian director has created a humanist and structuralist film which powerfully reveals the close links between migratory dynamics and the net economy, at opposite ends of the South American continent.” –Emmanuel Chicon, Visions du Réel Wednesday, May 7, 7pm https://www.cinematropical.com/el-cine-latinoamericano-se-piensa daily 0.75 2025-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/8c8f614a-03bd-4c1d-b5d9-8562dfe031c0/Tanque+de+pensamiento+9.jpeg El cine latinoamericano se piensa https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/303b16fe-60ec-4439-98f8-ca5c16911ff2/Recurso+3.png El cine latinoamericano se piensa - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cinematropical.com/on-thinking-latin-american-cinema daily 0.75 2025-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/8c8f614a-03bd-4c1d-b5d9-8562dfe031c0/Tanque+de+pensamiento+9.jpeg On Thinking Latin American Cinema https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/303b16fe-60ec-4439-98f8-ca5c16911ff2/Recurso+3.png On Thinking Latin American Cinema - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cinematropical.com/tan-cerca-del-futuro daily 0.75 2025-09-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/5d2302ba-1e21-4ab4-8dc5-0ec7b6c41dc4/BR+-+DISTRIBUIDOR-25.jpg Tan cerca del futuro https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/303b16fe-60ec-4439-98f8-ca5c16911ff2/Recurso+3.png Tan cerca del futuro - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.cinematropical.com/awards16 daily 0.75 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/0f89d9c6-b881-4971-9fa4-b11ea0972fe3/CTAwards16.Shortlist.2.png 16 Cinema Tropical Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1767828718371-6F3XX8IYAW405CH4I8RD/BestFilm-CT2026.png 16 Cinema Tropical Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1767828718351-CSWI3XUR2Y60KRBOKEN6/BestDirector-CT2026.png 16 Cinema Tropical Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1767828719600-NZM2DIWCO8Z9XYZV9CEY/BestNonFict-CT2026.png 16 Cinema Tropical Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1767828719800-613HOUICW2J91Q6CUU5B/BestFirst-CT2026.png 16 Cinema Tropical Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1767828720733-M09Y1LP7P0OVX8BES8E3/BestUS-CT2026.png 16 Cinema Tropical Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/1767828721248-ZLNEILZB6RWK6XAK73GC/SpecialMention-CT2026.png 16 Cinema Tropical Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/5cee6e2a-4897-4ef1-b0c8-1da53d32931a/APOCALYPSE+IN+THE+TROPICS.jpg 16 Cinema Tropical Awards APOCALYPSE IN THE TROPICS / APOCALIPSE NOS TRÓPICOS (Petra Costa, Brazil/USA/Denmark, 2024, 110 min.

With unprecedented access to key figures—including President Lula, former President Jair Bolsonaro, and the nation’s most prominent televangelist—Costa follows a charismatic pastor whose ambitions stretch toward shaping the country’s far-right leadership from behind the scenes. Apocalypse in the Tropics had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival and has screened at numerous festivals, including Telluride, New York, IDFA, Camden, and San Sebastian.

As he drifts through the city’s margins, Wellington encounters Ronaldo, an older man whose experience navigating precarious urban spaces offers both guidance and risk. What begins as a fragile alliance gradually evolves into a complex bond shaped by desire, survival, and uneven power dynamics. This powerful queer drama, the second feature by Brazilian director Marcelo Caetano, had its world premiere in the Critics’ Week sidebar of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/f730bbe3-412b-4919-a9d7-f29f01d2cd81/QueridoTropico1.webp 16 Cinema Tropical Awards - Make it stand out BELOVED TROPIC / QUERIDO TRÓPICO (Ana Endara, Panama/Colombia, 2024, 108 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) Set in Panama City and starring acclaimed Chilean actress Paulina García (Gloria), Querido Trópico explores the evolving relationship between two lonely and dissimilar women who form a touching and unexpected bond. Ana María (Jenny Navarrete, The Other So) is a Colombian immigrant facing precarious legal status and financial hardship while harboring a secret. Under the direction of Ana Endara, an accomplished documentarian making her first foray into feature fiction, the film’s deceptively simple premise opens onto a carefully observed relationship between two seemingly disparate women. Much like Panama’s unpredictable and ever-shifting weather, Querido Trópico unfolds as a luminous drama with a distinctly tropical texture, shaped by quiet gestures and unexpected turns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/3c1bbf4a-92ba-41b8-97c5-4c2b4d5cf788/Screen+Shot+2025-12-17+at+7.09.14+PM.png 16 Cinema Tropical Awards - Make it stand out CHRONICLES OF THE ABSURD / CRÓNICAS DEL ABSURDO (Miguel Coyula, Cuba, 2024, 77 min. In Spanish and Russian with English subtitles) Told in ten elliptical chapters, Chronicles of the Absurd exposes the complex contradictions underpinning Cuba’s social and political dynamics—realities often invisible to casual visitors and official narratives alike. Constructed primarily from clandestine audio recordings captured on concealed cell phones, the film assembles a fragmented yet incisive portrait of everyday life shaped by surveillance, scarcity, and ideological fatigue. Rather than relying on conventional interviews or exposition, director Miguel Coyula allows disembodied voices, ambient sounds, and moments of interruption to carry the film’s political charge, revealing how absurdity emerges as both a condition and a coping mechanism. The film won the Best Film Award at its world premiere in the Envision competition of the 37th International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/9b6cb878-c0bf-4562-8752-5254c9f2465f/COLLECTIVE+MONOLOGUE+%3A+MONO%CC%81LOGO+COLECTIVO.png 16 Cinema Tropical Awards COLLECTIVE MONOLOGUE / MONÓLOGO COLECTIVO (Jessica Sarah Rinland, Argentina/UK, 2024, 104 min.

In Spanish with English subtitles) The latest film by prolific Mexican director Nicolás Pereda, starring Lázaro G. Rodríguez, centers on a trio of friends connected by a writing workshop they attended years earlier. Now navigating romance and infidelity, their bond is further complicated by the fact that they are all auditioning for the same low-budget film. Through a complex sound design that occasionally collapses time and space, scenes of absurd mundanity give way to the fantasies of fiction, depicting a triangle of poets, artists, and actors driven equally by wishful dreaming and comic, everyday neuroses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/f34e3300-1e10-4f47-bdad-048a07353b67/NIGHT+HAS+COME.png 16 Cinema Tropical Awards NIGHT HAS COME / VINO LA NOCHE (Paolo Tizón, Peru, 2024, 95 min.

Winner of the Best First Feature Award at the Berlin Film Festival, Ernesto Martínez Bucio’s remarkable and beguiling debut captures the uncanny blur between childhood fantasy and haunting reality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/d52f4960-0b2a-489b-85ce-0c318f01460f/the-falling-sky-cannes.jpg 16 Cinema Tropical Awards THE FALLING SKY / A QUEDA DO CÉU (A Queda do Céu, Eryk Rocha and Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha, Brazil/Italy/France, 2024, 110 min. In Yanomamö and Portuguese with English subtitles) A standout at major international festivals—including Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes, DOC NYC, and Doclisboa—The Falling Sky follows the Yanomami people as they gather to perform the reahu, a ritual honoring a recently deceased shaman. But an even greater threat looms over them—the relentless advance of miners destroying their land. Through sacred ceremonies and spiritual invocations, the shamans seek to push back against this invasion. Inspired by the 2010 book of the same name by Yanomami shaman Davi Kopenawa—who serves as both protagonist and narrator—and French anthropologist Bruce Albert, this breathtaking and collaborative film gives voice to the remote Yanomami and Watoriki communities as they issue a dire warning to the world: environmental catastrophe is imminent, driven by the greed of industrialized nations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/b527869f-a948-4c96-b911-444014a31bf9/THE+HYPERBOREANS+_+LOS+HIPERBO%CC%81REOS.jpg 16 Cinema Tropical Awards THE HYPERBOREANS / LOS HIPERBÓREOS (Joaquín Cociña and Cristóbal León, Chile, 2024, 71 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) The Hyperboreans, the second feature film by Joaquín Cociña and Cristóbal León (The Wolf House), celebrated its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in the Directors’ Fortnight. When the negative of a film she starred in disappears, an actor embarks on a quest to recover it, encountering Chilean history and the legacy of fascist thinker Miguel Serrano along the way. Antonia Giesen plays a version of herself as an actor and psychologist who initially stole the missing film’s idea from her patient Metalhead’s dreams. That dream state infects her search as she transforms into a cop contending with ailing parents, Metalhead’s declining condition, Chile’s fascist history, and astonishing phenomena that dwell beneath Antarctica’s ice. Cociña and León appear as twisted versions of themselves in this fantastically surreal and virtuoso blend of live action, animation, puppetry, and practical effects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56a2e12069492eb24c37ab6a/f8e16640-bb39-4e72-9fc1-1ff96d001355/LostChapters.jpg 16 Cinema Tropical Awards THE LOST CHAPTERS / LOS CAPÍTULOS PERDIDOS (Lorena Alvarado, Venezuela, 2025, 68 min.
