OCTUBRE – WINNER: BEST FEATURE FILM
Clemente,
a moneylender of few
words, is a new hope for Sofía, his single neighbor devoted to the
October
worship of Our Lord of the Miracles. They're
brought together over a new-born baby, the fruit of Clemente's
relationship with a prostitute who's nowhere to be found. While Clemente
is looking
for the child’s mother, Sofía cares for the baby and looks after the
moneylender's house. With the
arrival of these beings in his life, Clemente has the opportunity to
reconsider
his emotional relations with people. Octubre,
the first feature film from Peruvian brothers Daniel and Diego Vega, is a
deadpan dark comedy incorporating influences ranging from Jim Jarmush and Aki
Kaurismaki to Robert Bresson, and winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes Film
Festival-Un Certain Regard.
Director: Daniela and Diego Vega. 83 min.
2010. 35mm.
Peru. In Spanish with English subtitles.

LEAP
YEAR (AÑO BISIESTO) – WINNER:
BEST DIRECTOR, FEATURE FILM
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.
Director: Michael Rowe. 94 min.
2010. 35mm.
Mexico. In Spanish with English subtitles.
Sun, Jan 22.
NOSTALGIA FOR THE LIGHT – WINNER: BEST DOCUMENTARY
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.
Director: Patricio Guzmán. 90 min.
2010. 35mm.
France/Germany/Chile.
In Spanish with English subtitles.

THE TINIEST PLACE (EL LUGAR MÁS PEQUEÑO) – WINNER: BEST FIRST FILM AND BEST DIRECTOR,
DOCUMENTARY FILM
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.
Director: Tatiana Huezo. 104 min.
2010. 35mm.
Mexico. In Spanish with English subtitles.
