ESTA ES LA CARTELERA PRINCIPAL DEL PROXIMO NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL

Posted by LATINO EVENTS Y TESPIS MAGAZINE on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 , under , , , , , , | comments (0)



This year’s Main Slate showcases 25 award-winning films presented to New York audiences for the first time. Among them you will find films by some of the most prominent Latino filmmakers.
By Alex Guerrero.


Selections from Cannes include Ken Loach’s Palme d’Or-winning I, Daniel Blake; Olivier Assayas’s Personal Shopper and Cristian Mungiu’s Graduation, which tied for Best Director; and Maren Ade’s highly acclaimed Toni Erdmann, awarded the Cannes Critics’ Prize. From Berlin, Gianfranco Rosi’s Golden Bear winner, Fire at Sea, will mark the director’s NYFF debut, and Mia Hansen-Løve returns to the festival with Things to Come, which won her Berlin’s Best Director award.
Other festival veterans returning to NYFF include Pedro Almodóvar, Kelly Reichardt, Hong Sangsoo, Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, Matías Piñeiro, Paul Verhoeven, Alain Guiraudie, Cristi Puiu, and Eugène Green. A number of celebrated filmmakers will make their NYFF debuts, such as Kenneth Lonergan with his third feature Manchester by the Sea; Kleber Mendonça Filho, presenting Aquarius, his anticipated follow-up to Neighboring Sounds; Alison Maclean with her coming-of-age story The Rehearsal; Dash Shaw, whose animated My Entire High School Sinking into the Sea is his first feature; and Barry Jenkins, with his three-part portrait of a young gay African-American man, Moonlight.



Strong female performances are a prominent focus this year, with standout turns from Isabelle Huppert in Verhoeven’s Elle and Hansen-Løve’s Things to Come; Brazilian legend Sônia Braga in Mendonça Filho’s Aquarius; Piñeiro favorite Agustina Muñoz in Hermia and Helena; and Kristen Stewart, Michelle Williams, and Laura Dern in Reichardt’s triptych Certain Women, among others. The Main Slate also features two films that bring poetry to the screen: Pablo Larraín’s Neruda, a portrait of the beloved Chilean poet, and Jim Jarmusch’s Paterson, which carries the spirit of William Carlos Williams through the story of a city bus driver (Adam Driver) who also writes poetry.
The New York Film Festival takes place from September 30 to October 16. More info at filmlinc.org or @TheNYFF.

EN CONCIERTO: ILe LE CANTA BOLEROS A NUEVA YORK EN EL LINCOLN CENTER

Posted by LATINO EVENTS Y TESPIS MAGAZINE on Thursday, August 18, 2016 , under , , , , , , , , , | comments (0)





Ileana Cabra Joglar, conocida artísticamente como iLe, es una cantante puertorriqueña que fue la voz femenina (PG-13) por 10 años del grupo musical Calle 13, junto a sus hermanos René Pérez Joglar “Residente” y Eduardo Cabra “Visitante”. Mientras formaba parte de la banda realizó varias contribuciones con producciones y artistas en Puerto Rico y fuera. 

iLe canta en Out of Doors del Lincoln Center, NYC. AlexGuerrero®2016
Después de 10 años con sus hermanos iLe decide encerrarse en el estudio y trabajar en su primer álbum producido por ella misma junto a Ismael Cancel. El disco titulado iLevitable salió a la luz el 3 de junio 2016, recibiendo un sinnúmero de elogios de críticos y del público en general. 

Aquí la vemos interpretando 'Quién Eres Tú' durante su presentación en el Festival Out Of Doors del Lincoln Center junto a Lucinda Williams y Thao & The Get Down Stay Down. Una estupenda velada con tres voces únicas. Puedes ver el video en nuestra página en Youtube: TespisTV.

Según NPR “el album la posiciona de inmediato como una intérprete de primera de los sonidos clásicos que permean por toda Latinoamérica”. Jon Pareles del New York Times lo describió como “un estudio retro del pasado de la música latinoamericana, repleto de romance, añoranza y desesperación. Puede cantar boleros de grandiosa orquestación así como delicadas baladas y un rítmico boogaloo y mambo, sin insinuar ni ironía ni ingenuidad”. Algunos de los músicos más prominentes de la Isla colaboraron o participaron en la producción, entre ellos Piro Rodríguez, Charlie Sepulveda, Bayrex Jiménez, Eduardo Cabra, Fofé Abreu de Circo, Louis García y el fenecido Cheo Feliciano en lo que constituye una de sus últimas grabaciones.

EN CONCIERTO: GABY MORENO AND AVE QUE EMIGRA. 
Por Alex Guerrero.



Guatemalan singer Gaby Moreno came to the US about 15 yers ago with a dream: to sing. Like many immigrants before her, that is exactly what she is doing. With a soulful voice that combines traditional rhythms with the blues, her voice has that unique appeal across borders. Here she is preforming a song dedicated to all immigrants: 'Ave que emigra' (Migrating Bird). At the Out of Doors Festival, Lincoln Center. Enjoy the video below or follow the link > Ave.

EN CONCIERTO: BOSTICH + FUSSIBLE DE NORTEC COLLECTIVE EN NYC

Posted by LATINO EVENTS Y TESPIS MAGAZINE on Friday, September 4, 2015 , under , , , , , , , , , , , | comments (0)



Bostich + Fussible del Nortec Collective nos visitaron hace poco para presentarse en el Festival Out Of Doors del Lincoln Center y nos han contagiado los ritmos que han hecho de su colaboración un mito, y a ellos suerte de leyendas. 



Su sonido fascina. Ese sincretismo es muy contagioso! Aqui interpretan un par de mis favoritas, la ya clásica Tengo La Voz y Moda Makina, parte de su nuevo disco Hotel Baja!. El evento también festejaba los 10 años de National Records, la disquera al frente de tanto y tan buen talento Latino. Felicidades desde estas lineas.

THE FEMALE VOICE IS CENTERSTAGE AT THE HUMAN RIGHTS FILM FEST

Posted by LATINO EVENTS Y TESPIS MAGAZINE on Thursday, June 11, 2015 , under , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , | comments (0)



La 'Voz Femenina' ( The Female Voice) ocupa lugar prominente en el Festival de Cine de Human Rights Watch que se celebra hasta el 21 de Junio en la Film Society del Lincoln Center y el IFC Center. 


Estos Trabajos Documentales de excepcional calidad como Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution; Beats of Antonov; What Tomorrow Brings; Trial Of Spring; No Land's Song (ganadora del Premio Nestor Almendros) y Burden of Peace, resaltan la centralidad del rol de la mujer en cada sociedad y los continuos ataques a los que aún es sometido ese rol, llamando a un compromiso más productivo que muestre verdadero progreso en temas tales como el derecho individual de existir y expresarse como tal, de la mujer, sin importar ni religión, ni clase, ni casta. El Human Rights Film Festival nos da otra oportunidad de reafirmar nuestro compromiso por la igualdad y los derechos humanos de todos, sin fronteras ni soberanías que favorezcan la impunidad total.
Otro de los temas que podemos profundizar en el festival es el referente a las libertades civiles e individuales contra los abusos gubernamentales, brutalidad policial, espionaje, corrupción, violencia y terrorismo. Así tenemos documentales como (T)error; Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution; 31/2 Minutes, Ten bullets; The Yes Men Are Revolting, Burden of Peace y (T)error.

 The 3 Latino themed docs are: 

 - Burden of Peace (Joey Boink, Guatemala- Paises Bajos): La lucha de Claudia Paz y Paz, una mujer luchando contra los grupos de poder y la corrupción en Guatemala.

  - Life is Sacred (Andreas Dalsgaard, Dinamarca):
La candidatura de Antanas Mockus en Bogotá y su meetodo de campaña contra la violencia y el poder hacer una nueva política en Colombia.

 - (T)error (Lyric R. Cabral y David FelixSutcliffe, US): La historia de Shariff Torres que pasó de Black Panther a FBI informant y una mirada cercana a los abusos gubernamentales, el espionaje doméstico y la libertad de expresión.

HUMOR SPANISH STYLE > The Last Laugh: An Alternate History of Spanish Comedy

Posted by LATINO EVENTS Y TESPIS MAGAZINE on Thursday, December 11, 2014 , under , , , , , , , , , , , , | comments (0)



Focusing on the tradition of grotesque humor throughout the history of Spanish cinema, The Last Laugh: An Alternate History of Spanish Comedy series comes to the Film Society from December 12-18. The series will include appearances and Q&A's with directors Santiago Aguilar, José Luis Cuerda, Isaki Lacuesta, and Óscar Pérez.




Here is the list of included films and Q&A. For more info > Filmlinc.

* 20 Centimeters / 20 centímetros
Ramón Salazar, Spain, 2005, 35mm, 112m
Spanish with English subtitles
Adolfo (Mónica Cervera) goes by the name Marieta, works as a prostitute, and suffers from narcolepsy, habitually nodding off and slipping into Ginger Rogers–esque dreams in which everything is colorful, musical, and happy. In these dreams she is her fully realized female self, not Adolfo as the official registries would have it. Somewhere in between queer comedy, musical, and a grotesque portrait of the darker side of Spanish society, 20 Centimeters is a distorted and unfettered depiction of a still-chauvinistic country where fears, beliefs, and prejudices endure and where one’s sexual orientation seems to be everybody’s business.
Thursday, December 18, 4:15pm

* Amanece, que no es poco
José Luis Cuerda, Spain, 1989, 35mm, 106m
Spanish with English subtitles
People bursting forth from the ground, black children born of white parents, and Spanish civil guards shooting at the breaking dawn while shouting “damn the whole sacredness bit to hell!”: Amanece, que no es poco might seem to be an incoherent jumble of sequences, but in fact it is one of the high points of Spanish comedy. Valle Inclán’s distortedly grotesque “esperpento,” Francisco de Goya’s darkest, most biting humor, and Luis Buñuel’s surrealist derisiveness all go hand in hand here under the unifying mantle of satirizing a country that is capable, in the words of critic Álvaro Arroba, “of murdering and divesting of their sacrosanctity its most sacred of gods.”
Friday, December 12, 6:15pm (Q&A with José Luis Cuerda)

* Astronauts / Astronautas
Santi Amodeo, Spain, 2003, 35mm, 88m
Spanish with subtitles in English
A 40-year-old junkie decides to follow a psychiatrist’s somewhat absurd list of dos and don’ts to the tee in order to kick his habit and become a “normal person”: be clean, be neat, eat right, clean your house, go shopping, socialize. But in doing so, he finds he has become a nobody, just another face in the crowd. When a 16-year-old girl comes into his life, like an astronaut who has fallen to Earth from out of nowhere, he suddenly gains the love, attention, and care that will rescue him from deadening conformity. Directly engaging taboos without prejudice or moralizing, Santi Amodeo constructs a story on and about the blurred lines of normalcy: in a society where we must adapt ourselves to a host of mores and norms, who is truly the Other, the oddball, the astronaut?

** Screening with:
Holy Thriller
María Cañas, Spain, 2011, digital projection, 2m
Two nearly opposite cultural milestones, Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Seville’s Holy Week processions, are rolled together by tried-and-true iconoclast director María Cañas, a devourer of images, who simply yet relentlessly picks apart some of the myths and symbols on which Spain’s national identity is based.
Wednesday, December 17, 6:30pm

* Caution to the Wind / Con el culo al aire
Carles Mira, Spain, 1980, 35mm, 94m
Spanish with English subtitles
When Carles Mira premiered his first film, The Prodigious Life of Father Vincent, in Spain, someone attempted to prevent it from screening by detonating a bomb in the theater. Spain was emerging from a dictatorship and working its way, for better or for worse, toward becoming a democracy. Far from flinching, Mira upped the ante and filmed Caution to the Wind, taking his iconoclastic passion for festivity to the extreme. Focusing on an insane asylum through which all types of characters parade, Mira constructs an irreverent flashback view of Spain’s past—or as he himself puts it: “I’m convinced that a number of people have taken an interest in concealing our real past and that they invented, at the time, a make-believe empire peopled by heroes and leaders comprising a gallery of ghosts.”

** Screening with:
Meeting with Sarah Jessica
Vicente Villanueva, Spain, 2013, DCP, 20m
Spanish with English subtitles
Tonight, Dori’s dream is coming true: she is having dinner with her favorite actress. She has made the trip from Spain, and the two of them are dining, one-on-one, face-to-face. But an enjoyable meal becomes a gateway to the dark world lurking behind fame…
Sunday, December 14, 1:00pm

* The Certificate / El certificado
Vicente Lluch, Spain, 1969, DCP, 100m
Spanish with English subtitles
Though Vicente Lluch has somehow faded from Spanish cinema history, his eventual rediscovery is inevitable. He directed only three features over the course of a 40-year career, but his films reveal a campy take on uniquely Spanish subjects astonishingly achieved amid the Franco regime. In The Certificate, he draws on the Mediterranean farce (as Carles Mira would later do) in order to hurl scathing criticism at the ethically reproachable and socially ridiculous Barcelona bourgeoisie. As in his other work, the story hinges on a strong, determined female character who grows increasingly empowered as it goes on.
Wednesday, December 17, 8:30pm

* Dying Beyond Their Means / Murieron por encima de sus posibilidades
Isaki Lacuesta, Spain, 2014, DCP, 104m
Spanish with English subtitles
Five desperate, common citizens from a fictitious country pretty much identical to Spain see their lives ripped apart by a global financial crisis. With nothing left to lose, they concoct a crazy plan to save their country’s—not to mention the world’s—economy: kidnap the chairman of the Central Bank and demand that he somehow restore everything to the way it used to be. Is their plan so naïve that it just might work? A dark and rowdy comedy about a country pushed to the economic brink and the everyday radicals who endeavor to save the day by any means necessary. But will their revolution be televised or will it be Googled?
Sunday, December 14, 8:40pm (Q&A with Isaki Lacuesta)

* Justino: A Senior Citizen Killer / Justino, un asesino de la tercera edad
La Cuadrilla (Santiago Aguilar and Luis Guridi), Spain, 1994, 35mm, 93m
Spanish with English subtitles
Justino engages with Spain’s vast tradition of black comedy, brimming with backwards glances and allusions to its rich heritage. If the film at first seems like a simple rehashing of Marco Ferreri’s The Little Coach, it soon becomes clear that its references extend in many different directions, engaging such distinct works as Edgar Neville’s 1946 detective thriller The Crime of Bordadores Street and Fernando Fernán-Gómez’s 1986 Goya Award winner Voyage to Nowhere. Justino takes full advantage of its having been made after the end of the censorship restrictions of the Franco regime, and the creative duo La Cuadrilla (directors Santiago Aguilar and Luis Guridi) revive the figure of the retired man that appears in The Little Coach and Luis García Berlanga’s Not on Your Life.
Saturday, December 13, 6:45pm (Q&A with Santiago Aguilar)

* The Last Circus / Balada triste de trompeta
Álex de la Iglesia, Spain, 2010, 35mm, 107m
Spanish with English subtitles
Francisco de Goya’s Fight with Cudgels depicts two men submerged, knee-high, in the ground, beating each other with wooden clubs. It’s neither here not there that Goya didn’t originally paint the figures this way, but rather on grassy ground; this image, the result of the oil painting’s negligent conservation, has nevertheless become a metaphor for Spain’s eternal cycle of fruitless conflict. Álex de la Iglesia’s film, which earned Best Screenplay and Best Director at the 2010 Venice International Film Festival, returns to this idea of a violent and self-destructive Spain in the guise of circus clowns dueling for the love of a gorgeous trapeze artist.
Thursday, December 18, 6:45pm

* The Last Horse / El último caballo
Edgar Neville, Spain, 1950, 35mm, 85m
Spanish with English subtitles
Edgar Neville’s The Last Horse is considered the most neorealist of all his works. But while it’s true that some of the more obvious aspects of that movement show through, this film is no mere throwback. Its humorous, thought-provoking thrust directly engages with the way things really are in Spain, specifically in Madrid, which, swept along by the changes wrought by modernization, sheds its traditions rapidly and thoughtlessly. The Last Horse is a stroll through Madrid on the brink of a makeover that changed both the city’s outer appearance as well as the lifestyles of those who live there—in particular Fernando, recently discharged from the army, which has decided to put down his faithful horse Bucéfalo.

** Screening with:
Mystery / Misterio
Chema García Ibarra, Spain, 2013, DCP, 12m
Spanish with English subtitles
Trini takes care of her family, just like the other women in her depressing, working-class neighborhood, but she believes her situation is temporary. Soon enough, something or somebody will get her out of there.
Friday, December 12, 9:00pm

* The Little Coach / El cochecito
Marco Ferreri, Spain, 1960, 35mm, 83m
Spanish with English subtitles
Marco Ferreri filmed his first three features in Spain before returning home to Italy. For the first (The Little Flat) and third (The Little Coach), he partnered with Rafael Azcona, a screenwriter also making his debut; the collaboration between these two would be crucial for shaping some of the fundamental traits of Spanish black humor. The Little Coach portrays the trials and tribulations of Anselmo Proharán, a retiree willing to do anything, even do away with his family, in order to get himself a mobility scooter like those owned by his elderly cronies at the park. Although censorship under the Franco regime took some of the bite out of this film and imposed upon it a moralistic ending, it could not repress the harshness with which it depicts a distressful country.

** Screening with:
El engaño / The Cheating
Germán Scelso, Spain, 2009, digital projection, 15m
Spanish with English subtitles
We don’t know how documentary filmmaker Germán first met Juan, but we join them as they watch a bullfight on television. Out of the blue, Juan asks Germán to help him carry out an act of vengeance…
Saturday, December 13, 9:15pm

* Mommy’s a Fool / Mamá es boba
Santiago Lorenzo, Spain, 1997, 35mm, 96m
Spanish with English subtitles
Martín (Jose Luis Lago) is a self-conscious young boy living in a provincial Castilian town where nothing ever happens. He bears the brunt of his classmates’ bullying at school, but his biggest problem is his parents, Gema and Toribio, whose grotesque behavior certainly doesn’t go unnoticed in their sad, gray hometown. But when a new TV station arrives and offers Gema the position of lead anchorwoman, everything changes. Gema and Toribio’s fame skyrockets, but given their status as the town’s laughingstocks, they end up being treated like traveling carnival puppets, and Martín is ostracized ever more severely. Produced on a shoestring budget, with a visual style accentuating the cruelty of its content, Santiago Lorenzo’s satirical feature debut is a comedy that evokes both raucous laughter and smiles of recognition.
Monday, December 15, 6:30pm

* Not on Your Life / El verdugo
Luis García Berlanga, Spain, 1963, 35mm, 89m
Spanish with English subtitles
Not on Your Life marked the second time that Luis García Berlanga and Rafael Azcona worked together, following 1961’s Plácido. This film is a no-holds-barred portrayal of three characters fighting to survive brutal situations. Amadeo is an executioner on the verge of retirement who meets José Luis, a funeral parlor employee he tricks into becoming his heir. Step by step, this film reveals the old man’s Machiavellian plan that finds José Luis literally dragged into becoming his successor despite his ethical reservations.

** Screening with:
Don Pepe Popi
Carlos Vermut, Spain, 2012, digital projection, 16m
Spanish with English subtitles
Don Pepe Popi is a collaboration between Venga Monjas—two comedians who started out on the Internet in 2006—and Carlos Vermut, a director who put a new twist on interweaving genres with his films Diamond Flash and Magical Girl.
Sunday, December 14, 3:30pm

* People in Places / Gente en sitios
Juan Cavestany, Spain, 2013, DCP, 83m
Spanish with English subtitles
The cliché goes that beautiful flowers bloom in cemeteries… or amid rubbish. People in Places illustrates this bromide with an episodic succession of sketches of daily life in a desolate, crisis-ridden Spain. Shot sans script and with a cast comprised of more than 80 actors, People in Places is a comedy with bitter undertones painted in muted colors, intertwining the grotesqueness of Spanish “esperpento” with the cultural pastiche of David Lynch while taking Franz Kafka on a stroll through the industrial suburbs of any provincial town, all with a refreshing absence of pretension.
Thursday, December 18, 9:00pm

* Tell Me About Sanchicorrota / Dime quién era Sanchicorrota
Jorge Tur, Spain, 2013, HDCAM, 62m
Spanish with English subtitles
Jorge Tur’s feature-length documentary delves into the legend of a 16th-century bandit from the north of Spain, who robbed the rich to give to the poor. But the film winds up being a reflexive portrait of documentary’s inability to focus on anything beyond the visible, as well as a tragicomic stroll through a land whose wounds are seemingly always fresh.

** Screening with:
Mr. Easter / Salve Melilla
Óscar Pérez, Spain, 2006, digital projection, 52m
Spanish with English subtitles
Symbols of its imperialist past, Spain still has two cities in African territory: Ceuta and Melilla. Filming the host of a local television show that broadcasts the various religious events that comprise Holy Week in Melilla and employing the stylistic tools of cinema verité, Óscar Pérez envisions a portrait of Spain’s essence as manifested by a city forsaken by the mainland.
Sunday, December 14, 5:45pm (Q&A with Óscar Pérez)

CINE > A LIFE LESS ORDINARY: LAS PELICULAS DE JOAQUIM PINTO IN NYC

Posted by LATINO EVENTS Y TESPIS MAGAZINE on Wednesday, August 6, 2014 , under , , , , , , , , , , , , , , | comments (0)



These are the details for the upcoming series A Life Less Ordinary: The Films of Joaquim Pinto (August 8-12), timed to a one-week exclusive theatrical run of the director’s latest film, What Now? Remind Me, beginning on Friday, August 8 at Lincoln Center (photo). This is the first U.S. retrospective of Pinto’s work and includes most of his films as a director along with several collaborations that are touchstones in his rich and singular career.



Joaquim Pinto (a sound recordist and designer turned producer and director) has collaborated with some of the greatest filmmakers, including Raúl Ruiz, Werner Schroeter, and João César Monteiro. His own films, unseen for years even in his native Portugal, are considered major achievements in their own right—a Portuguese critic recently described him as “the heart of Portuguese cinema for most of the last 30 years.” Deeply personal, combining image and sound in singularly sophisticated ways, Pinto’s work concerns both the cosmic and the carnal—the domain of the sacred as well as of the flesh.

MOVIES AND TIMES:

* What Now? Remind Me / E AGORA? LEMBRA-ME JOAQUIM PINTO, 2013
PORTUGAL | PORTUGUESE WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | FORMAT: DCP | 164 MINUTES
First-person filmmaking at its most intimate and expansive, Joaquim Pinto’s What Now? Remind Me emerged from a year in which the director—documentarian, producer, sound designer, and Lisbon film scene stalwart—endured an experimental clinical trial for HIV patients. Although the film doesn't flinch at describing the pain and despair of chronic illness, it remains above all a testament to the joys of a fully lived life, and to the inseparability of art and life. Darting between vivid scenes of the present and bittersweet recollections of the past, What Now? reveals Pinto’s day-to-day existence with his beloved husband, Nuno, and reaches back to his artistic coming of age, capturing a love of cinema that led to a wide network of friendships and collaborations. Confessional but never solipsistic, looking beyond individual experience toward history and the world, this moving film becomes an all-encompassing meditation on what it means to be alive. Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2013 Locarno Film Festival and a selection at the 51st New York Film Festival > August 8-12.
* The New Testament of Jesus Christ According to John / O Novo Testamento De Jesus Cristo Segundo João
Joaquim Pinto & Nuno Leonel, Portugal, 2013, DCP, 128m
Portuguese with English subtitles
One of Portugal’s most prominent and recognizable performers, Luís Miguel Cintra (a frequent player in the films of Manoel de Oliveira) reads the Gospel of John as images of natural splendor fill the screen. Providing no context outside of the gospel itself and letting the gravel and rhythm of Cintra’s voice take center stage, Pinto and Leonel find a soulful and familiar yet mysterious juxtaposition of words and images. In their directors’ statement, Pinto and Leonel write: “We are not theologians, nor do we belong to any religion, but just like everyone else, from those who call themselves Christians to those who declare themselves to be atheists and ‘free thinkers,’ we are all irrevocably steeped in twenty centuries of clericalism and Christian culture.”
> August 9, 12:30pm

* Rabo de Peixe
Joaquim Pinto & Nuno Leonel, Portugal, 2003, digital projection, 77m
Portuguese with English subtitles
Decisive shifts in the oceans have caused significant problems in the eponymous village in the Azorean archipelago, where fishing has long been a tradition and an essential livelihood. Pedro is a young man confronted with the problem of how to carry on despite this crisis (and the inherent dangers of working at sea). Pinto and Leonel follow Pedro over the full, yearlong cycle of seasons, capturing the rhythms of life and work in a changing community.
Screening with:
Sol Menor
Joaquim Pinto & Nuno Leonel, Portugal, 2007, digital projection, 7m
Portuguese with English subtitles.
This contemplative piece, an exploration of time’s passage and the permanence of nature, sets Beethoven’s “Sonata em sol menor” against images of farmers tilling the soil and flowers carried along by a brook.
> August 8, 5:00pm
> August 10, 8:00pm

* Recollections of the Yellow House / Recordações da Casa Amarela
João César Monteiro, Portugal, 1989, 35mm, 122m
Portuguese with English subtitles
Pinto served as a producer on the late Monteiro’s masterpiece, a landmark of Portuguese cinema. This singularly morbid and perverse comedy chronicles the misadventures of João de Deus (played by Monteiro himself), a grizzled, depressive bachelor who lives in a seedy boarding house run by a tyrannical landlady. Equal parts Chaplin’s Little Tramp and Dostoevsky’s Underground Man, João battles possibly imaginary bedbugs and indulges his erotic fetishes while ruminating on illness and the prospect of death. Amid the deadpan hijinks and bleakly absurdist perspective, the director’s musical way with sound and image is evident everywhere.
> August 10, 5:30pm

* The Rose King / Der Rosenkönig
Werner Schroeter, West Germany/Portugal, 1986, 35mm, 106m
German, Portuguese, Italian, French, and Arabic with English subtitles
A tribute to Werner Schroeter’s muse, Magdalena Montezuma, this operatic procession of florid, rapturous images conveys an elliptical narrative rich with homoeroticism and Oedipal desire. Buoyed by a soundtrack that pairs Johann Strauss with Middle Eastern pop and juxtaposing the post-camp expressionism of Ron Rice and Jack Smith with the poetic cruelty of Jean Genet,The Rose King—which Pinto worked on as a sound designer—is widely regarded as Schroeter’s crowning achievement.
> August 11, 7:00pm

* Tall Stories / Uma Pedra no Bolso
Joaquim Pinto, Portugal, 1988, 35mm, 91m
Portuguese with English subtitles
Virtually unseeable for the last 25 years due to rights issues, Pinto’s beautiful feature-length debut is a coming-of-age tale about unconventional friendships and burgeoning sexuality. As punishment for his lack of interest at school, 12-year-old Miguel is forced to spend his summer vacation at his aunt Martha’s modest seaside boarding house. Upset at first by the prospect of staying in a place where nothing ever happens, the young boy befriends Luisa, a waitress who teaches him to dance, and João, a local fisherman. But the arrival of another guest, the mysterious Dr. Fernando, initiates a series of events that will disrupt the hotel’s equilibrium and Miguel’s peace of mind.
> August 8, 7:00pm
> August 10, 3:30pm

* The Territory
Raúl Ruiz, Portugal, 1981, 16mm, 100m
English and French with English subtitles
Pinto’s first sound-recording job and perhaps the only Raúl Ruiz film that could be described as containing a story “ripped from the headlines,” this philosophical horror flick (co-written by Gilbert Adair) tracks the descent of two American families into cannibalism during a camping trip in the south of France. Celebrated upon its release for the strangeness of its theological vision (reminiscent of that of former Ruiz collaborator Pierre Klossowski), The Territory explores the body as a site of desire and violence with Ruiz’s signature touch, yielding a slippery work that is mortifying, mystifying, and surprisingly funny.
> August 12, 7:00pm

* Twin Flames / Das Tripas Coraçao
Joaquim Pinto, Portugal, 1992, 35mm, 70m
Portuguese with English subtitles
Redheaded twins Armando and Beatriz always dreamed of being firefighters but during a rainy, uneventful winter they find themselves spending less time putting out infernos than they do helping neighbors who’ve locked themselves out of their apartments. This is how Armando meets a pretty young woman with whom he begins a tentative courtship. But soon a rift grows between the siblings and, spurred by Armando’s exaggerated stories about his nascent relationship, Beatriz begins experiencing aural hallucinations that can only be remedied through music and, finally, the love of a stranger. Pinto made this impassioned fairy tale as part of a series of films about the four elements.
> August 9, 5:00pm

* Where the Sun Beats / Ondo Bato o Sol
Joaquim Pinto, Portugal, 1989, 35mm, 88m
Portuguese with English subtitles
Pinto’s sophomore feature patiently investigates the everyday life and psychosexual vacillations of Laura (Laura Morante), a woman caught in a web of verboten romance and incestuous desire. Pinto elliptically and delicately portrays the small farming community that serves as the backdrop for the impossible relationships pursued by Laura and her brother, Nuno. The alluring cast also features Inês de Medeiros (of Jacques Rivette’s The Gang of Four and several films by Pedro Costa) as Graça, a key player in the film’s game of libidinal cat-and-mouse. A strongly atmospheric work in which torrid intrigues emerge through allusion and insinuation, Where the Sun Beats finds Pinto exploring the self-thwarting ways of desire and the expressive potential of the unspoken.
