Screening Room - Michigan Theater
Wed, Mar 21, 2018 9:15 PM
Playing with notions of self-reflexivity and nostalgia, real and imagined, these filmmakers test the boundaries of both narrative and documentary genres. Showcasing the diverse voices of these talented young artists, each of the six films highlight the vision and ingenuity of Ibero-America. These shorts have screened at Cannes, Toronto International Film Festival, and New York Film Festival, along with strong Latin American showcases such as the Morelia, Mar del Plata, Valdivia, and Havana film festivals. Curated by Josh Gardner of Cinema Lamont, Detroit.
An icon on the ’80s “Movida” scene in Madrid, Tesa Arranz, the lead
singer of the Zombies, has painted over 500 portraits
of extraterrestrials. Told via her paintings, memories, poems,
and diaries, Arranz narrates her own story of liberation,
experimentation, and alienation.
