Chicago Latino Film Festival | April 20-May 4, 2017 | 3

Movies can build bridges to other cultures. They can open our eyes, our ears and minds to other experiences, other points of view. They can blow our minds. They can inspire us. They make us laugh, cry and even shake a fist at the screen in anger. They are our constant companion regardless of where, how and when we see them. And for 33 years, the Chicago Latino Film Festival has been blowing and enriching the minds of hundreds of thousands of moviegoers who marvel, laugh, cry, and even shake a fist at the stories, ideas, sights and sounds produced by the Latino diaspora.

This year the Festival opens with the truly honest and touching relationship drama “One Night of Love” starring two of Argentina’s top TV stars –Sebastian Wainraich and Carla Peterson– and closes with the Chicago premiere of Elia Schneider’s powerful award-winning drama “Tamara” about Venezuela’s first transgender person elected to that country’s National Assembly. Other highlights include: two very different musicals, Peru’s “Crazy in Love” and Spain’s “At Your Doorstep”; three films set in Medellin, Colombia (“The Animal’s Wife,” Victor Gaviria’s brutal portrait of misogyny in that region; “The Nobodies” about punk life in that city; and the bittersweet romantic drama “That Thing Called Love”); Emilio Ruiz Barrachina’s modern day adaptation of Garcia Lorca’s classic play “Yerma”; and “Tales of Mexico,” an ambitious undertaking featuring eight of Mexico’s most daring filmmakers.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. We are showing films that have won major awards at such prestigious film festivals as Sundance, Rotterdam and Venice. We are welcoming the new films from past festival guests Ariel Winograd, Ari Maniel Cruz and Claudia Sainte-Luce, among others. Lastly, as customary, at least a third of our feature-length films were directed by first-time filmmakers (men and women), evidence of the continuing vitality of our cinema.

We are also celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Pedro Infante, a legend of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema, through a special concert at the National Museum of Mexican Arts on April 26 and 27. “Pedro, Mi Amor” is a program featuring some of Infante’s best loved songs performed by flutist Elena Duran and pianist Santiago Piñeirua with clips from his iconic movies.

With the Chicago Latino Film Festival we planted a seed in this city and from that seed a beautiful tree named the International Latino Cultural Center was born. This tree has many branches: the Latino Music Festival, now in its 12th season; Film in the Park, also in its 12th season; the monthly Reel Film Club series, already in its 8th year.

I am also delighted to announce the upcoming 1st International Latino Theater Festival presented by the newly created Chicago Latino Theater Alliance (CLATA), a consortium that includes the National Museum of Mexican Art, the Puerto Rican Arts Alliance, and the International Latino Cultural Center.

As always, I am grateful for the continued support we receive from volunteers, staffers, board members, foundations, the Ibero-American Consular Association and sponsors who strongly believe, like I do, on the need for events like this one in our City.

Presently, in its 22nd year, the Matinee Outreach Program is a fundamental educational platform that continues to channel the cultural significance of film to elementary and high school students. The program began as an event that attracted 1,000 students and has grown to nearly 5,000 Chicago area student attendees.

The Matinee Outreach Program provides students the opportunity to learn about the diversity of other cultures, the possibility to connect with their cultural heritage, and the prospect of meeting film directors/actors/producers to discuss viable career options in the arts.

The 2017 Matinee Outreach Program is supported by a FilmWatch Grant from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science.

The Student Film Segment of the Chicago Latino Film Festival will present short films made by student filmmakers from Mexico, Chile, Ecuador, DePaul University and high school students in the Chicago area. This segment will feature the finalists of the Mexican film competition, Haz Corto con la Corrupción/ Short Films Against Corruption and short films by Chicago’s own Gallery 37 Video Production Class. It will showcase the work being done at film schools, presenting the perspective of young people in this new era of globalization and technology.

The Student Film Segment of the Chicago Latino Film Festival is organized by the International Latino Cultural Center, The Latino Media and Communication, The College of Computing and Digital Media and The Latin America Initiatives at DePaul University.

Genre: Romantic Comedy/DramaArgentina/2016/90 min.Directed by Hernán GuerschunySpanish w/ English Subtitles

The proud parents of two kids, Leonel and Paola (Argentina TV stars Sebastián Wainraich and Carla Peterson) have been happily married for 12 years. He is a famous scriptwriter and she is an equally successful psychologist. But that placid façade can’t contain the feelings that something’s amiss in their marriage. It just takes one dinner, the news that their best friends are separating, and a rather eventful walk around their neighborhood to force them to confront their doubts. Director Guerschuny and Wainraich (who co-wrote the script) deliver an intimate, penetrating and bittersweet portrait of a marriage ata crossroads.

Felizmente casados durante 12 años, Leonel y Paola (las estrellas de la televisión argentina Sebastián Wainraich y Carla Peterson) son los padres orgullosos de dos niños. Él es un guionista famoso y ella una psicóloga igualmente exitosa. Pero esa plácida fachada no puede esconder el hecho de que algo falta en su matrimonio. Sólo se necesita una cena, la noticia de que sus mejores amigos se están separando y un paseo lleno de acontecimientos alrededor de su barrio para obligarlos a enfrentar sus dudas. El director Hernán Guerschuny y Wainraich (quien co-escribió el guión) entregan un retrato íntimo, penetrante y agridulce de un matrimonio ante una encrucijada.

TAmArADrama/LGBTQ Venezuela/Uruguay/Peru/2016/110 min. Directed by Elia K. Schneider Spanish with English Subtitles

Elia Schneider’s latest film tells the remarkable real life story of Tamara Adrian, Venezuela’s first transgender person elected to that country’s National Assembly. Product of a conservative family, Adrian harbored strong feelings of identifying as female from a young age. When Tomas finally decides to become Tamara, she takes on a prejudiced state system that refuses to accept her new identity, making life virtually impossible to her. Undeterred, she fights back, becoming one of Venezuela’s top LGBTQ and women’s rights activists. “Tamara” is more than a traditional biopic; it confronts head-on a country’s trans-phobia as it celebrates the courage of a community unafraid to fight for its rights. Winner of the Nueva Vision Award for Spanish/Latin American Cinema at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

La más reciente película del duo Elia Schneider (directora) y José Ramón Novoa (productor) narra la historia verídica de Tamara Adrián, la primera persona transgénero de Venezuela en ser elegida para la Asamblea Nacional de ese país. Producto de una familia conservadora, Adrián se identificó como mujer desde temprana edad. Cuando Tomás finalmente decide convertirse en Tamara, ella se enfrentará a un sistema estatal que se niega a aceptar su nueva identidad. A raíz de ello, Tamara se convierte en una de las principales activistas LGBTQ y por los derechos de las mujeres en Venezuela. “Tamara” es más que una película biográfica tradicional; enfrenta la transfobia de su país a la vez que celebra la valentía de una comunidad que lucha por sus derechos. Ganadora del Premio Nueva Visión al Cine Español / Latinoamericano en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Santa Bárbara.

Leonardo Sbaraglia (“Wild Tales”) stars in this tense and claustrophobic “Rear Window” like thriller as Joaquin, a paraplegic computer engineer still mourning the death of his wife and daughter who, while working in the basement of his house, hears voices coming through the wall. With the aid of a stethoscope and a camera, he discovers that a gang of thieves is digging a tunnel to rob the bank next door. He puts in motion a plan to rob the thieves without realizing that his new tenant and her daughter are part of the operation.

En este intenso y claustrofóbico thriller que evoca el “Rear Window” de Hitchcock, Leonardo Sbaraglia (“Relatos Salvajes”) interpreta a Joaquín, un ingeniero de computación parapléjico todavía de luto por la muerte de su esposa e hija que, mientras trabaja en el sótano de su casa, oye voces del otro lado de la pared. Con la ayuda de un estetoscopio y una cámara, descubre que una cuadrilla de ladrones está cavando un túnel para robar el banco vecino. Joaquín pone en marcha un plan para robar a los ladrones sin darse cuenta de que su nueva inquilina y su hija son parte de la operación.

Marcos Carnevale has seen his box-offi ce hits “Elsa y Fred” and “Heart of a Lion” remade in the United States (the 2014 “Elsa & Fred” starring Christopher Plummer and Shirley MacLaine) and France (“Up for Love” starring Jean Dujardin). He returns this favor with this remake of the French box office hit “Intouchables”. Felipe (Oscar Martinez), a wealthy businessman who becomes quadriplegic after an accident hires Tito (Rodrigo de la Serna) as his therapeutic assistant even though he is not qualified. Tito adapts pretty quickly and helps Felipe enjoy life again.

Marcos Carnevale ha visto nuevas versiones de sus éxitos de taquilla “Elsa y Fred” y “Corazón de León” rodadas en Estados Unidos (“Elsa & Fred” con Christopher Plummer y Shirley MacLaine) y Francia (“Up for Love” con Jean Dujardin). Él ahora devuelve este favor con su propio “remake” del éxito de taquilla francés “Intouchables”. Felipe (Oscar Martínez), un rico hombre de negocios que queda tetrapléjico después de un accidente, contrata a Tito (Rodrigo de la Serna) como su asistente terapéutico a pesar de no estar califi cado. Tito se adapta muy rápido y ayuda a Felipe a disfrutar nuevamente de la vida.

Liz (Julieta Zylberberg) struggles to adjust to her new life as a mom while her husband (Daniel Handler) is away in Chile shooting a documentary. Following her doctor’s orders, she begins to take her three-month old son to the neighborhood park where she meets the rather quirky and spontaneous Rosa (director Katz) who is taking care of a newborn as well. A dine-and-dash incident at a local restaurant, a meeting with Rosa’s equally abrasive sister, and the rumors about her family situation makes Liz wonder about her friend’s true intentions.

Liz (Julieta Zylberberg) lucha por adaptarse a su nuevo rol como madre mientras su marido (Daniel Handler) se encuentra en Chile fi lmando un documental. Siguiendo las órdenes de su médico, ella comienza a llevar a su hijo de tres meses de edad al parque de su barrio, donde conoce a la bastante peculiar y espontánea Rosa (la directora Katz) que también cuida a un recién nacido. Un incidente en un restaurante local, un encuentro con la hermana igualmente extravagante de Rosa y los rumores sobre su situación familiar hacen que Liz cuestione las verdaderas intenciones de su nueva amiga.

When is cheating on your partner not cheating? That’s the premise of Festival favorite Ariel Winograd’s (No Kids, My First Wedding) new, outrageous comedy. Camila and Mateo have lived happily together for eight years but that’s about to change when, over dinner with friends, they discuss the true meaning of cheating and come to the conclusion that one can be unfaithful as long as it is with an “unreachable” celebrity. Camila and Mateo choose their respective imaginary hook-ups without realizing that their “wishes” will soon be granted.

¿Se puede ser infi el a tu pareja sin serlo? Esa es la premisa de la nueva comedia de Ariel Winograd (“Sin hijos”, “Mi primera boda”). Camila y Mateo han vivido felizmente juntos durante ocho años, pero eso está a punto de cambiar cuando, durante una cena con sus amigos, discuten el verdadero signifi cado de la infi delidad y llegan a la conclusión de que uno puede ser infi el siempre y cuando sea con una celebridad “inalcanzable”. Camila y Mateo eligen su respectiva celebridad de ensueño sin darse cuenta de que sus deseos pronto se harán realidad.

Tonchy Antezana’s latest feature sheds light on a, for many, unknown chapter of Latin American history: the battle fought between September 7 and 29, 1932 between the Bolivian and Paraguayan armies in and around the stronghold of Boquerón that led to a full-scale border war between both countries. Told from the perspective of four young Bolivian soldiers from different walks of life, Antezana recreates the conditions endured by the 619 Bolivian soldiers who fought and resisted an army of 12,000 Paraguayan soldiers, as well as hunger, thirst, and lack of medicine.

El director boliviano Tonchy Antezana arroja luz sobre un capítulo desconocido de la historia latinoamericana: la batalla entre el 7 y el 29 de septiembre de 1932 entre los ejércitos boliviano y paraguayo en y alrededor de la fortaleza de Boquerón que condujo a una guerra fronteriza entre ambos países. Contada desde la perspectiva de cuatro jóvenes bolivianos de diferentes clases sociales, Antezana recrea las condiciones de los 619 soldados bolivianos que lucharon y resistieron a un ejército de 12,000 soldados paraguayos a pesar del hambre, la sed y la falta de medicinas.

Winner of the Best Picture award at this year’s Cartagena de Indias International Film Festival and set among the tin mines of Huanuni in Bolivia’s Oruro region, Kiro Russo’s impressionistic, dreamlike feature film debut centers on Elder, a perpetual screw-up who moves in with his grandmother after his father dies. His godfather, Francisco, secures a job for him in the mining company his father worked for. His co-workers know a thing or two about Francisco’s relationship with Elder’s deceased father, setting the stage for a confrontation between both son and godfather.

Ganadora del premio a la Mejor Película en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Cartagena de Indias, el debut cinematográfi co de Kiro Russo se lleva a cabo en las minas de estaño en la región de Oruro, Bolivia. El bueno para nada de Elder se va a vivir con su abuela tras la muerte de su padre. Su padrino, Francisco, le consigue un trabajo en la compañía minera para la que trabajó su padre. Sus compañeros de trabajo saben una cosa o dos acerca de la relación de Francisco con el difunto padre de Elder, allanando el camino para una confrontación entre ambos.

Caco plans on surprising his girlfriend with a marriage proposal, but instead fi nds her in bed with another man. More than his machismo is at stake here: his national pride is hurt as well since the man his girlfriend is playing around with is Argentinian. Best friend Vadão drags Caco on a revenge trip from Brazil to Argentina on his 1979 Chevy Opala. Their mission: to seduce every Argentinian woman they encounter on the road. But not everything goes according to plan. Fraiha’s subversive opera prima pokes fun at the long-standing soccer rivalry between both countries.

Caco quer surpreender sua namorada com um pedido de casamento, mas acaba encontrando ela na cama com outro homem. Não é apenas seu machismo que está em jogo aqui: seu orgulho nacional também está ferido, o homem com quem sua namorada o está traindo é argentino. Vadão, o melhor amigo de Caco, arrasta o ex-futuro noivo numa viagem de vingança do Brasil para a Argentina em seu Chevy Opala de 1979. A sua missão é seduzir todas as mulheres argentinas que encontram na estrada. Mas nem tudo vai de acordo com o plano. A ópera subversiva de Fraiha satiriza a longa rivalidade de futebol entre os dois países.

You could call Homero Olivetto’s bold feature debut Brazil’s answer to “Mad Max” but “Holy Biker” is much more than that. In the drought-devastated Brazilian backlands, a band of outlaw bikers led by Pai Nosso, a religious fanatic, is in search of a miracle: the rain-bringing, Golden Saint. But when Pai Nosso is killed after the group steals the figurine from a merciless landowner, young Ara takes over as their leader and finds that finishing what Pai Nosso started may be much harder than he imagines.

Você poderia chamar a estreia ousada de Homero Olivetto o “Mad Max” Brasileiro, mas “Reza a Lenda” é muito mais do que isso. No sertão brasileiro devastado pela seca, um grupo de cangaceiros, liderado por Pai Nosso, um fanático religioso, está buscando um milagre: o Santo Dourado que segundo reza a lenda é capaz de fazer chover. Mas quando Pai Nosso é morto depois que o grupo rouba a estatueta de um dono de terra implacável, o jovem Ara se assume como líder e descobre que terminar o que Pai Nosso começou é muito mais difícil do que ele imaginava.

Developed over four months through a series of workshops with the cast, including improv sessions in the actual locations chosen for the film, Luciana Canton’s fearless and uncompromising feature debut explores how we deal with love and sexuality public and privately. These four character-based stories –a young man comes to terms with his homophobia, a prostitute and her client become lovers, a transgender teacher is blackmailed and a woman’s desire drives her insane– have an undeniable raw power, the director and actors’ passion and commitment evident in every single frame.

Desenvolvido durante quatro meses através de uma série de workshops com o elenco, incluindo sessões de improvisação nos locais escolhidos para o filme, a estreia corajosa e intransigente de Luciana Canton explora como lidamos com o amor e a sexualidade na esfera pública e privada. Essas quatro histórias baseadas em personagens - um jovem lida com sua homofobia, uma prostituta e seu cliente se tornam amantes, uma professora transgênera é chantageada e o desejo de uma mulher a deixa louca - tem um poder cru e inegável, a paixão e dedicação do diretor e dos atores é evidente em cada enquadramento.

It’s no longer a secret that Chile has been producing some of the most exciting, adventurous and daring films Latin American cinema has seen in the last decade or so. Films produced by the likes of Fernando Lavanderos, Pablo Larrain and Sebastian Lelio (whose most recent film, “A Fantastic Woman,” won two major awards at this year’s Berlinale) have been critically acclaimed by critics, festival programmers and public alike. The six films showcased here thanks to the friendship and partnership that bind the Chicago Latino Film Festival, the Consulate General of Chile in Chicago and the Cultural Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are just but a small sample of what this dynamic community produces year round.

Las seis películas presentadas aquí, gracias a la alianza que unen al Festival de Cine Latino de Chicago, el Consulado General de Chile en Chicago y la División Cultural del Ministerio de Relaciones, son sólo una pequeña muestra de lo que esta comunidad dinámica produce todo el año.

Using as a backdrop the ongoing violent conflict between Chile’s indigenous Mapuche communities and the forces who want to strip them of their lands, Claudia Huaiquimilla’s urgent and wrenching first feature-length film focuses on the burgeoning friendship between two teenagers. Rebellious Tano is sent to the small mountain community of Wallmapu under the care of his father after he is arrested for his participation in a violent robbery. There he befriends Cheo, a young Mapuche who is bullied at school. Their friendship deepens as the community around them explodes after the death of an influential Mapuche leader.

Para su primer largometraje, la realizadora Claudia Huaiquimilla usa como trasfondo el continuo conflicto entre las comunidades mapuches de Chile y las fuerzas que quieren desalojarlas de sus tierras para narrar esta historia sobre la amistad entre dos adolescentes. Tano es enviado a la pequeña comunidad montañosa de Wallmapu bajo el cuidado de su padre tras ser arrestado por su participación en un robo violento. Allí se hace amigo de Cheo, un joven Mapuche víctima de hostigamiento en la escuela. Su amistad crece a la vez que la comunidad a su alrededor entra en punto de ebullición tras la muerte de un influyente líder mapuche.

Tomas is spending his last weekend in Chile with his family in their cramped suburban house before travelling to London to study medicine. His young sister Catalina is pregnant, his mother suffers from severe back pain, and his father is participating in a labor strike. What should have been a happy day for the whole family is ruined when a problem with the plumbing floods parts of the house and the stink caused by it pushes this close-knit family to the brink. This claustrophobic debut paints a spot-on microscopic portrait of contemporary Chilean society.

Fernando Lavanderos follows-up his critically acclaimed “Things the Way They Are” with this quirky road movie where the people you meet along the way are far more important than the trip itself. Esteban hops onto his car and drives north, towards the Chile-Bolivia border, in pursuit of his girlfriend Isabel who one day up and left him for no reason. His only road map: a tablet she left behind where she downloaded footage of her travels. Along the way, Esteban meets the same people Isabel met in past trips, her footage marking a sharp contrast with Esteban’s own experience.

Fernando Lavanderos sigue su aclamada “Las cosas como son” con este poco convencional “road movie” en la que las personas que el protagonista conoce por el camino son mucho más importantes que el viaje en sí. Esteban se monta en su auto y se dirige hacia el norte, hacia la frontera entre Chile y Bolivia, en busca de su novia Isabel, que lo dejó sin motivo. Su único mapa de ruta: una tableta que ella dejó atrás, en la cual descargó imágenes de sus viajes. A lo largo del trayecto, Esteban conoce a las mismas personas que ella conoció, sus experiencias con ellos muy diferentes a las de Isabel.

Winner last year of the Audience Award for Dramatic Feature and Special Jury Prizes for Best Actor and Best Actress at the Sundance Film Festival’s World Cinema Competition, Carlos del Castillo’s first feature focuses on the close relationship between 28-year-old Alberto (Colombian superstar Manolo Cruz, also the fi lm’s scriptwriter), who is afflicted with dystonia, a neurological disorder that contorts his body and leaves him trapped in bed; his mother Rosa (Vicky Hernandez) who has taken care of him on her own; and Giselle (Viviana Serna) with whom Alberto has been friends with since childhood.

Ganadora el año pasado del Premio del Público a la Mejor Película Dramática y el Premio Especial al Mejor Actor y Mejor Actriz en el Concurso de Cine Mundial del Festival de Sundance, el primer largometraje de Carlos del Castillo se centra en la estrecha relación entre Alberto (Manolo Cruz, también guionista de la película), un joven de 28 años afl igido por distonía, un trastorno neurológico que contorsiona su cuerpo y lo deja atrapado en la cama; su madre Rosa (Vicky Hernández) que lo ha cuidado por cuenta propia y Giselle (Viviana Serna) con quien Alberto ha sido amigo desde niño.

Shot in the mountainous town of Neltume at the south of Chile, Tenorio’s feature debut taps into the region’s history –Neltume was the focus of a guerrilla movement against the Pinochet regime in the 70s and early 80s– to tell the spine-chilling story of the disappearance of seven women in the last decade and a half. Romance writer Claudia receives news that her boyfriend, a horror novelist, has committed suicide. Upon arriving in Neltume, she comes face to face with the town’s violent history when she joins police detective Benno’s investigation of the disappearances and her boyfriend’s possible involvement.

Filmado en la localidad montañosa de Neltume, al sur de Chile, Tenorio usa la historia de la región -Neltume fue el foco de un movimiento guerrillero contra el régimen de Pinochet en los años 70 y principios de los 80- para narrar esta espeluznante historia acerca de la desaparición de siete mujeres. Claudia, una escritora de novelas románticas, recibe noticias de que su novio, un novelista de terror, se ha suicidado. Al llegar a Neltume, se encuentra cara a cara con la violenta historia del pueblo cuando se une a la investigación del detective Benno sobre las desapariciones y la posible participación de su novio en las mismas.

Victor Gaviria (“Rodrigo D: No Futuro”), delivers another stark, relentless portrait of life in Medellin, made all the more realistic by his use of non-professional actors. Amparo is a teenage girl who, after some trouble in a boarding school, seeks refuge in her sister’s house in a marginal neighborhood and is kidnapped and forced into marriage by the town’s bully, her cousin Libardo. Pregnant with his child, Amparo discovers that Libardo has been keeping another woman locked up in his ranch and decides that enough is enough. Winner of the Best Director award at last year’s International Festival of New Latin American Cinema in Havana.

Víctor Gaviria (“Rodrigo D: no futuro”), nos entrega otro retrato duro e implacable sobre la vida en Medellín protagonizado por actores no profesionales.

Shot in black and white in seven days on a $2,000 budget and winner last year of the Venice Film Festival’s Critics’ Week, “The Nobodies” vibrantly portrays five so-called anarcho-punks from Medellin: the underage Ana, abandoned by her mother and now raised by her extremely pious aunt and cousin; El Pipa, an angry tattoo artist and singer; college student Manu; and the fearless Camilo and Mechas. Tattoo art, music, even juggling are the tools they use to manifest their individuality and resistance against authority, whether parental or governmental in a city they both hate and love.

El arte del tatuaje, la música, incluso el malabarismo son las herramientas que ellos usan para expresar su individualidad y resistencia contra la autoridad en una ciudad a la que odian y aman.

Built around a series of interviews with exiled poet, scriptwriter (“Guantanamera”), and novelist (the Alfaguara Award winner “Caracol Beach”) Eliseo Alberto prior to his death in 2011, “In One Corner of the Soul” presents a unique, cool-headed analysis of the highs and lows of the Cuban Revolution. Supported by revealing, rarely-seen footage provided by Dalton’s and Alberto’s family as well as several private collections, the documentary revisits such key figures as Cuban poet and novelist Jose Lezama Lima and Guillermo Cabrera Infante and such pivotal events as the 1968 Revolutionary Offensive.

Apoyada por imágenes reveladoras y raramente vistas proveniente de los archivos de la familia de Dalton y de Alberto, entre otras fuentes, el documental rememora personajes tan importantes como el poeta y novelista cubano José Lezama Lima y el novelista Guillermo Cabrera Infante, al igual que acontecimientos tan decisivos como la ofensiva revolucionaria de 1968.

Esteban (Luis Alberto Garcia) and Mayra (Isabel Santos) haven’t seen each other in 40 years. They were once madly in love but circumstances beyond their control separated them just as their romance was blooming: she left Cuba with her mother; he stayed behind, forbidden to speak her name because she was seen as traitor to the Revolution. She’s back in Havana on a special assignment for her magazine. Can they pick up where they left off? Or will the void that grew between them be hard to overcome, especially given Mayra’s erratic behavior?

Esteban (Luis Alberto García) y Mayra (Isabel Santos) no se han visto en 40 años.

Ahora Mayra está de vuelta en La Habana en una asignación especial para su revista. ¿Podrán retomar el romance donde lo dejaron? ¿O será difícil superar el vacío que creció entre ellos, especialmente dado el comportamiento errático de Mayra?

Three good friends meet every day on the roof of one of Havana’s decaying buildings to while away the hours: pigeon breeder Yasmani; Ani, who’s several months pregnant; and Vito who is obsessed with his grandfather’s Sicilian heritage. The more entrepreneurial Vito proposes they open a pizzeria on the roof to make ends meet. But how can you sustain a viable business when everybody asks if they can pay later for the food? Patricia Ramos’ laid back, funny, slice-of-life debut captures a side of Havana life rarely seen on the big screen.

Tres buenos amigos se reúnen todos los días en el techo de uno de los tantos edificios desvencijados de La Habana para pasar las horas: el criador de palomas Yasmani; Ani, que está embarazada de varios meses; y Vito, quien está obsesionado con la herencia siciliana de su abuelo. Vito, el más emprendedor de los tres, propone abrir una pizzería en el techo para ganarse la vida. Pero, ¿cómo se puede mantener un negocio viable cuando todo el mundo pregunta si pueden pagar más tarde por la comida? El debut de Patricia Ramos capta un aspecto de la vida habanera rara vez visto en la pantalla grande.

The dwellers’ self-appointed representative, Lisandro Teran, promises to intercede on the businessman’s behalf. Accidental deaths and legal machinations come into play in Sebastian Cordero’s (“Pescador” “Cronicas”) tense political thriller that is as concerned about the alliances that power such corruption as is it about keeping audiences at the edge of their seats.

Las chicas se vuelven inseparables.Comparten un amor por los libros y la música y un sentido de enajenación.

Thirtysomething friends Chente, Linares y Mijo set out on a journey to Lake Atitlan, to fulfi ll the last wish of their recently deceased childhood friend, Chacha: to throw his ashes into the lake and drink the last four beers in his name. On their way, they run over a police officer. Giving him up for dead, the three friends shove the body in the trunk of their car…and that’s when the fun really starts as they face one outrageous situation after another forcing each one of them to come to terms with their own existential crisis.

Chente, Linares y Mijo emprenden un viaje hacia el Lago de Atitlán para cumplir el último deseo de su recién fallecido amigo de infancia Chacha: arrojar sus cenizas al lago y beber las últimas cuatro cervezas en su nombre. En el camino, atropellan a un oficial de policía. Dándolo por muerto, los tres amigos meten el cadáver en el maletero de su coche ... y ahí es cuando de verdad comienza la diversión a medida que ellos enfrentan una escandalosa situación tras otra que los obliga a aceptar su propia crisis existencial.

For her fiction feature debut, documentary filmmaker Guetty Felin weaves the almost fairy-tale like stories of three people five years after the 2010 earthquake that nearly destroyed her country: Orphee, a teenager who refuses to speak French and wants to learn Japanese, gains some mysterious powers after going out for a swim; fisherman Jaurès is worried about the equally mysterious disease affl icting his wife; and a fi ctional character literally walks off from the novel her author is writing. Shot with natural light, Felin presents a country that is vibrant and thriving despite the tragedy that still haunts it.

Para su primer largometraje de f icción, la documentalista Guetty Felin entreteje tres relatos que toman lugar cinco años después del terremoto de 2010 que casi destruyó a su país: Orphee, un adolescente que se niega a hablar francés y quiere aprender japonés, descubre haber adquirido poderes misteriosos tras salir a nadar; el pescador Jaurès está preocupado por la igualmente misteriosa enfermedad que afl ige a su esposa; y un personaje fi cticio literalmente se aleja de la novela que su autor está escribiendo. Felin presenta a un país vibrante y dinámico a pesar de la tragedia que todavía lo atormenta.

Manuel Chirinos is a farmer from a rural village in the mountains of Eastern Honduras. He aspires to be a musician but quickly realizes his only patrons are the powerful drug bosses who terrorize his region. When a song he writes angers a dangerous drug cartel, Manuel is forced to flee his home in Honduras to go to the United States. He finds himself miles away from his home, his family, and his music. From a radio cabin in North Carolina, Manuel recounts his narrow escape from death and describes the challenges of assimilating into a new world as an undocumented immigrant.

Manuel Chirinos es un agricultor que vive en una aldea rural en las montañas del este de Honduras. Él aspira a ser un músico, pero rápidamente se da cuenta de que sus únicos patrocinadores son los poderosos narcos que aterrorizan a la región. Cuando una canción que escribe hace enojar a un peligroso cartel de la droga, Manuel se ve obligado a huir de su casa en Honduras y migrar a los Estados Unidos. Desde una cabina de radio en Carolina del Norte, Manuel relata cómo se salva de la muerte y describe los desafíos que implican el adaptarse a un nuevo mundo como inmigrante indocumentado.

In her autobiographical follow-up to the critically acclaimed “The Amazing Catfish” (an official selection of the 30th Chicago Latino Film Festival), Mexican filmmaker Claudia Sainte-Luce plays Jazmin, a young woman living alone in Mexico City who must take care of her estranged father, an undocumented Haitian immigrant suffering from vascular dementia.

Mucho más íntima que su ópera prima, “La caja vacía” confi rma a Sainte-Luce como una de las voces más humanas del cine mexicano y latinoamericano contemporáneo.

When stoner Kenny is arrested during a police sting as he tries to score some weed, his apparently more mature cousin Josue is called to the rescue by Kenny’s family. They want him to wean Kenny off the drug; but this exemplar role model has some tricks up his sleeve as well. “Kenke” is more than a conventional stoner fi lm; it explores the double standards of a society that easily condemns the consumption of weed as a lifestyle while ignoring other, more dangerous vices.

Cuando el fumeta de Kenny es arrestado durante una redada de la policía al tratar de comprar un poquito de “kenke” (marihuana), la familia de Kenny le pide a su aparentemente más maduro primo Josué que intervenga y lo desintoxique; pero este ejemplar modelo a seguir también se las trae. “Kenke” es más que una película convencional sobre marihuaneros: explora los dobles estándares de una sociedad que condena fácilmente el consumo de esta droga como un estilo de vida mientras ignora otros vicios más peligrosos.

Carmín’s dreams of moving from the mountainous village of Barranquitas to San Juan with her mother are dashed when remarries and leaves in the United States. The arrival of her good-for-nothing father after long years in prison awakens ambiguous and rather dangerous feelings in her. Featuring music by Calle 13’s other half Eduardo Cabrera, “Before the Rooster Crows” solidifies Cruz as one of the most distinctive filmmakers emerging from Puerto Rico’s burgeoning indie film movement.

Teresa couldn’t have chosen a worse time to return to Puerto Rico, after seven years, to share with her very conservative family the news that she plans to marry fellow astronomer Daniela. Her father’s poultry processing plant is the target of both corrupt elements of the Puerto Rican government and the U.S. poultry industry that want to drive it out of business. She delays the news and even lies about it; Daniela’s decision to travel to the island and force Teresa’s hand will reveal the many secrets the family has been keeping from each other.

Teresa no pudo haber escogido peor momento para regresar a Puerto Rico de Islas Canarias, después de siete años de ausencia, para compartir con su muy conservadora familia la noticia de que piensa casarse con la astrónoma Daniela. La planta de procesamiento avícola de su padre es blanco tanto de elementos corruptos del gobierno puertorriqueño como de la industria avícola estadounidense que quiere cerrar su negocio. Ella retrasa el anuncio e incluso miente sobre su boda. El repentino arribo de Daniela a la isla no sólo fuerza la mano de Teresa pero destapa los muchos secretos que la familia guarda entre sí.

Politics are considered a national sport in Puerto Rico. So, unavoidably, 2016 saw the release of not one but two political satires in the island. And we have them both! “I Am a Politician” follows Carlos, a former filmmaker recently released from jail, who with the help of cellmate Cangry, decides to run for governor of the island. But running for one party won’t be enough, so he approaches each of the island’s three main parties, pitching his candidacy to the highest bidder. This hilarious satire explores the most ridiculous and outrageous aspects of Puerto Rican politics.

La política es el deporte nacional de Puerto Rico. Así que, inevitablemente, 2016 vio el estreno en la isla de no una sino dos sátiras políticas. ¡Y el Festival tiene las dos! “Yo soy un político” sigue a Carlos, un ex director de cine recientemente puesto en libertad, que con la ayuda de su compañero de celda Cangry decide postularse para gobernador de la isla. Postularse para un partido no será suficiente, así que se acerca a cada uno de los tres partidos principales para vender su candidatura al mejor postor. Esta hilarante sátira explora los aspectos más ridículos y estrafalarios de la política puertorriqueña.

The members of a commune, dressed in white and holding torches, throw themselves into the sea from a cliff in the Canary Islands.

2007: the housing bubble has already burst in Spain, a full year before it wreaks havoc in the rest of the world. Families are being evicted left and right, their self-esteem in tatters. Sonia, her husband, and their 10-year-old daughter are one of those families, forced to live in their parents’ apartment. They are not the only victims, however. The evictions are leaving a deep mark on the police officials ordered to enact them and on the one honest bank employee who feels guilty about the whole mess. Eduard Cortes’ Brechtian musical celebrates our ability to resist and overcome.

2007: la burbuja inmobiliaria ya estalló en España, un año antes de que cause estragos en el resto del mundo. Las familias están siendo desalojadas a diestra y siniestra, su autoestima en harapos. Sonia, su esposo y su hija de 10 años son una de esas familias obligadas a vivir en el apartamento de sus padres. Sin embargo, no son las únicas víctimas. Los desalojos están dejando una huella profunda sobre los oficiales de policía encargados de ponerlos en marcha y sobre el único empleado honesto del banco que se siente culpable por lo acontecido. Este musical brechtiano de Eduard Cortés celebra nuestra capacidad para resistir y sobrevivir.

Fourteen-year-old Miguel (Javier Mendo) has been evading the persistent pursuit of social services agents since he served time at a juvenile detention center. He can’t count on his unemployed and rather volatile mother to help him; instead, he seeks refuge with Bogdan, her former Romanian lover. As the noose tightens around him, Miguel finds another helping hand in the person of a bar owner with whom he strikes a sincere and ambiguous relationship. Featuring a hypnotic performance from Mendo, Morais’ film evokes such social realist dramas as the Dardenne Brothers’ “Rosetta.”

Miguel (Javier Mendo), de catorce años, ha estado evadiendo a los agentes de servicios sociales desde que estuvo encerrado en un centro de detención juvenil. Miguel no puede contar con la ayuda de su madre desempleada y volátil y por eso busca refugio con Bogdan, su antiguo amante rumano. Sin embargo, Miguel encuentra una mano amiga en la dueña de un bar con quien entabla una relación sincera y ambigua. Con una actuación hipnótica de Javier Mendo, “La madre” evoca tales dramas realistas sociales como el “Rosetta” de los Hermanos Dardenne.

Genre: DramaEnglish

For Eva Stone, married to a British politician of Spanish descent, a woman’s life is meaningless if she is not a mother. And Eva has yet to become one. A Spanish theater company is in London to present a new production of Lorca’s “Yerma”; Victor, its director, is an old friend of Eva’s and her husband. Eva sees in Victor a new opportunity to become pregnant, even though having a child out of wedlock will be frowned upon, to say the least, by the social circles she moves in. Barrachina gives a fresh contemporary spin to Lorca’s classic play about motherhood and tradition.

Para Eva Stone, casada con un político británico de ascendencia española, la vida de toda mujer carece de sentido si no llega a ser madre. Y Eva todavía no lo es. Una compañía de teatro española está en Londres para presentar una nueva producción de “Yerma” de García Lorca; Víctor, su director, es un viejo amigo de Eva y de su marido. Eva ve en Víctor una nueva oportunidad para quedar embarazada, a pesar de que tener un hijo fuera del matrimonio es muy mal visto por los círculos sociales en los que ella se mueve. Barrachina da un giro contemporáneo a la obra clásica de García Lorca sobre la maternidad y la tradición.

Patriarch Tomas finds it hard to accept that his eldest son will not take over the operation of the farm that has belonged to the family for generations but will instead pack his bags and look for better opportunities in the city. His daughter Amaia is next in line to take over but her progressive views place her at odds with his conservative ones. Only her grandmother, the “Amama” of the film’s Basque title, can bridge these opposing viewpoints. Deeply rooted in Basque culture, Altuna’s fiction feature debut is a visually rich and sumptuous drama that slowly grows on you.

Tomás, el patriarca de la familia, se niega a aceptar que su hijo mayor no se hará cargo de la granja que ha pertenecido a la familia durante generaciones al éste empacar sus maletas en busca de mejores oportunidades en la ciudad. Su hija Amaia es ahora la heredera inmediata, pero sus ideas progresistas chocan con sus actitudes conservadoras. Sólo la abuela, la “Amama” del título vasco de la película, puede reconciliar a estos dos polos opuestos. Profundamente enraizado en la cultura vasca, el debut en el cine de ficción de Asier Altuna es un drama visualmente rico y suntuoso que lentamente seduce al espectador.

Santiago wakes up naked and beaten in the middle of a desert. A drought has devastated his family farm. When Santiago returns, he is welcomed by his father Ernesto at gunpoint while the family dog stands in between. Ernesto shoots the dog believing him to be infected by whatever has ailed the farm animals; the dog comes back from the grave to haunt a family that is slowly descending into madness. Ledesma’s opera prima offers a phantasmagoric, surreal spin to the old prodigal son fable.

Santiago despierta desnudo y golpeado en medio de un desierto. Una sequía ha devastado la granja de su familia. Cuando Santiago regresa, es recibido por su padre Ernesto a punta de pistola mientras que el perro de la familia se interpone entre ellos. Ernesto mata al perro creyendo que está infectado por el mal que ha contaminado a los animales de la granja. El espíritu del perro regresa para atormentar a una familia que lentamente desciende a la locura. La ópera prima de Ledesma ofrece un giro fantasmagórico y surrealista a la vieja fábula del hijo pródigo.

Not to be confused with Alan Rudolph’s equally delightful portrait of American expatriates and intellectuals in 1920s Paris, Sarser’s and Matta’s feature debut focuses on two Montevideo couples: Clara, divorced with two children, wants to secure her relationship with Fausto, an immature, pretentious and narcissistic intellectual working in advertising; and Paula, who even though wants to have a child with Martin, begins to date another woman. Using classic tangos and boleros as an emotional counterpoint, “The Moderns” is a sharp and witty look at the circumstances that drive us to fall in and out of love.

Lo único que comparten el debut cinematográfico de Sarser y Matta con el igualmente encantador retrato de Alan Rudolph de expatriados e intelectuales estadounidenses en el París de los años 20 es el título. Clara, divorciada con dos hijos, quiere asegurar su relación con Fausto, un intelectual narcisista, inmaduro y pretencioso que trabaja para una agencia de publicidad. Paula, a pesar de que quiere tener un hijo con Martín, comienza a tener relaciones con otra mujer. Utilizando tangos y boleros clásicos como contrapunto emocional, “Los modernos” ofrece una mirada aguda e ingeniosa a las circunstancias que nos llevan al amor y al desamor.
