Este año en particular, la presencia de temas latinos es fuerte en el festival DOC NYC. La chispa del emprendimiento prende en Costa Rica y en Sud América en contra del machismo, la lejanía, la falta de infraestructura y capital. No hay incentivo de progreso en muchos lugares de América Latina, pero en un rincón de Costa Rica, la directora Lesley Chilcott nos muestra cómo un grupo de mujeres triunfa, crece y genera cambio en A SMALL SECTION OF THE WORLD.
El papel de las mujeres en el desarrollo de América Latina cambiará el rostro del continente como también lo refleja Pamela Yates en otro de sus fantásticos trabajos documentales, DISRUPTION (foto) y las promesas del micro-crédito o la semilla del emprendimiento.
Otra cambio que se presenta en el festival es el climático. La periferia y la centralidad se nos revela en el corto SANTA CRUZ DEL ISLOTE de Luke Lorentzen. Vivir en un islote a 50 millas de Cartagena puede parecer paradisíaco, y a lo mejor lo es. Pero Santa Cruz está casi a nivel del mar y no se le ve que tiene muchas posibilidades de crecer. Países conformados por islas están en peligro de desaparecer bajo las aguas. Qué le espera a Santa Cruz? Tomarán ellos mismos cartas en el asunto?. Porque más allá de todo se impone esta inercia que cuelga sobre el islote, donde no se ve iniciativa, plan de futuro. Prenderá allí también la mecha del emprendimiento ?.
Banksy llegó a NYC y causó revuelo. Y en Banksy Does New York vemos su residencia de 30 días en la ciudad y las reaciones que causó: Qué es arte y qué significa ser artista; la política y el capital en el arte y la protesta a través del arte son todos temas que me vinieron a la cabeza viendo este doc sobre el controversial artista. Controversiales y efectivas son también las campañas y las protestas de The Yes Men Are Revolting. La creatividad y el riesgo tomado en sus 'antics' para poder dejarse oír en medio del bullicio generalizado han hecho imposible que organizaciones, intereses y gobiernos tiren bajo el tapete y se desentiendan de asuntos tan cruciales como el cambio climático. Más allá de las risas (que hay muchas) los Yes Men inspiran a buscar métodos nuevos y efectivos para hacer de la protesta un agente efectivo de cambio.
Estos son solo algunos de los temas que pude sopesar de los tantos presentes en el festival. Como pueden ver debajo, las entradas latinas exploran temas que van desde las pandillas en las calles de Nueva York en los '70 en RUBBLE KINGS hasta la icónica fotografía de Sebastian Salgado, pasando por la vida después de prisión en COMING HOME; la lucha por salarios y condiciones de trabajo justos en THE HAND THAT FEEDS; y la lucha por la vida misma en MARMATO, un pueblo minero de Colombia. Y mucho más para explorar en DOC NYC que se realiza en NYC hasta el 20 de Noviembre.

Y mucho más para explorar en DOC NYC que se realiza en NYC hasta el 20 de Noviembre.
Acá los filmes de interés o director latino:
1_ COMING HOME, Dir. Viko Nikci
INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE - At the age of 25, Angel Cordero, an innocent man, was arrested and convicted of attempted murder following a stabbing in the Bronx. Viko Nikci follows him as he is released from prison after thirteen years into a new world of smartphones and social media. Readjusting to life on the outside, Angel has two goals: confronting the man who actually committed the crime for which he was punished, and repairing his relationship with the daughter he was forced to leave behind.
7:00 PM, Sat. Nov. 15, 2014 - IFC Center
12:30 PM, Thu. Nov. 20, 2014 - IFC Center
Expected to attend: Viko Nikci, film subject Angel Cordero
2_ DISRUPTION, Dir. Pamela Yates
NYC PREMIERE - Recognizing the persistence of income inequality in South America, a group of activist economists join together to offer an alternative path to eliminating poverty: encouraging the poor to open savings accounts and thereby become active agents within the existing economic system. Fundación Capital partners with impoverished women to put their plan for financial inclusion into action, beginning pilot programs in Colombia, Peru and Brazil, and demonstrating the power of women to lead potentially continent-wide social change.
2:30 PM, Sat. Nov. 15, 2014 - IFC Center
5:00 PM, Tue. Nov. 18, 2014 - IFC Center
Expected to attend: Pamela Yates, producer Paco de Onis
3_ THE HAND THAT FEEDS, Dir. Rachel Lears & Robin Blotnick
NYC PREMIERE - An Upper East Side Hot & Crusty bakery serves as the unlikely setting for an old-fashioned David vs. Goliath story in Rachel Lears and Robin Blotnick's rousing film. After years of exploitation, Mahoma López, an unassuming sandwich maker, leads his fellow service workers as they demand better working conditions and wages. Risking their livelihood—and, for some, deportation—they take to the streets to plead their case to their regular customers, partnering with impassioned young Occupy activists in a hard-fought battle to prove the power of labor organizing.
2:30 PM, Sun. Nov. 16, 2014 - IFC Center
Expected to attend: Robin Blotnick, Rachel Lears, film subjects Mahoma Lopez and family
4_ MARMATO, Dir. Mark Grieco
NYC PREMIERE - Exploring the intersection of economic development, environmental impact and globalization, Mark Grieco's film is an intimate and richly observed portrait of Marmato, a rural mining town threatened with destruction. At the center of a new global gold rush, the Colombian government has imperiled Marmato by selling its mines to a Canadian company. With plans in place to displace 8,000 inhabitants, level their mountain home and transform it into an open pit to extract the estimated $20 billion in gold buried within, can the community survive?
2:45 PM, Tue. Nov. 18, 2014 - IFC Center
5:15 PM, Wed. Nov. 19, 2014 - IFC Center
Expected to attend: Mark Grieco
5_ RUBBLE KINGS, Dir. Shan Nicholson
NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE - Confronting a bankrupt, decaying city and the dashed hopes of the civil rights generation, African-American and Latino teenagers violently took over the streets of 1970s New York. The South Bronx became a war zone ruled by gangs like the Savage Skulls and the Ghetto Brothers. Hypnotic archival footage and present-day interviews with former gang members reveal how peace was brokered at the peak of the bloodshed in a most unlikely manner, laying the foundation for what ultimately became hip-hop culture.
Screening with Fraser Munden & Neil Rathbone's THE CHAPERONE. An action-packed, animated retelling of what happened when a drunken motorcycle gang invaded a 1970s school dance.
9:15 PM, Sun. Nov. 16, 2014 - SVA Theatre
Expected to attend: Shan Nicholson, film subjects Benji Melendez, Lloyd Murphy, Jee Sanchez, Rolly Rodriguez and D.S.R.
6_ THE SALT OF THE EARTH, Dir. Wim Wenders & Juliano Ribeiro Salgado
Brazilian Sebastião Salgado has created some of the most indelible photographs of our time. His black- and-white images bring an artful composition to chronicling humanity's "salt of the earth" in multiyear projects such as "Workers," "Migrations" and "Genesis." This film, directed by his son Juliano Ribeiro Salgado and Wim Wenders, brings an insider's and outsider's perspective on the family, illuminating the key role played by Salgado's wife Lélia Deluiz Wanick and their work on the nature preserve Instituto Terra. Sony Pictures Classics, opens Apr. 3.
7:00 PM, Wed. Nov. 19, 2014 - Bow Tie Chelsea Cinemas
7_ A SMALL SECTION OF THE WORLD, Dir. Lesley Chilcott
NYC PREMIERE - In equal measures inspiring and endearing, Leslie Chilcott's film spotlights a group of Costa Rican village women who, seeking a way to offset the economically motivated flight of their husbands and sons from the community, form ASOMOBI, a coffee-growing collective—despite not knowing the first thing about growing coffee. Persevering through a steep learning curve and numerous setbacks, ASOMOBI captures the attention and support of a local exporter, and through her, the international coffee industry.
Screening with Luke Lorentzen's SANTA CRUZ DEL ISLOTE. Inhabitants of a remote Colombian island paradise face an uncertain future in changing times.
5:00 PM, Fri. Nov. 14, 2014 - IFC Center
Expected to attend: Lesley Chilcott

Tanto Evita como Leap of Faith han sido nominados para los Premios TONY que se entregarán el próximo mes de Junio en el Teatro Beacon. Aunque las críticas no han sido cien por ciento halagadoras con estas dos obras, desde aqui les deseamos los mejores éxitos!
En Off-Broadway, El Repertorio Español continua con En el tiempo de las mariposas y El Quijote y el exitoso show Growing up González ahora se presenta todos los viernes y sábados en el Teatro Jan Hus. También, el Teatro Thalia presenta el estreno mundial de La Callas & Medea. Veamos:
* EVITA > Open Ended > Teatro Marquis > EVITA.
Eva Perón utilizó su inteligencia y carisma para ascender
rápidamente desde un tugurio de Argentina hasta la residencia
presidencial como Primera Dama. Adorada por su pueblo como la abanderada
de los humildes, se convirtió en una de las mujeres más poderosas del
mundo, mientras que su codicia, descomunal ambición y frágil salud la
convirtieron en la más trágica. EVITA cuenta la apasionada e
inolvidable historia verídica de Eva, y nos deleita con algunas de las
canciones más hermosas del teatro, como "Don't Cry for Me Argentina,"
"Another Suitcase in Another Hall" y "High Flying, Adored."
Four-time
Tony Award® nominee Raúl Esparza (Cabaret, Company) stars as Jonas
Nightingale, an electrifying performer and rabble rouser who's planning
to take the whole town for a ride. But when a small-town girl stops him
in his tracks, this hustler may just discover something to believe in.
LEAP OF FAITH features a roof-raising new score by eight-time Oscar®-winning composer Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors).The creative team also includes bookwriters Janus Cercone and Tony®-winner Warren Leight (Side Man); Grammy®-winning lyricist Glenn Slater (Tangled); choreographer Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys); and Christopher Ashley, director of the Tony®-winning Best Musical Memphis.

* En El Tiempo De Las Mariposas > Abril 2, 6, 12, 14, 20 >> En Repertorio Español.

“In The Time of the Butterflies” is the story of the courageous Mirabal
sisters (Patria, Minerva and María Teresa) from the Dominican Republic.
The sisters inspired resistance cells throughout the country against the
dictatorial regime of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. The ‘butterflies’,
their secret code name, were brutally murdered by the regime in 1960.
Based on Julia Álvarez’s popular novel, the martyred butterflies come to vibrant life in a warm, brilliant, and dramatic production by the talented duo – playwright Caridad Svich and director José Zayas– that brought us the critically acclaimed production of Isabel Allende’s “The House of the Spirits” in 2009.
* Mariela En El Desierto > Nueva Producción >> Mayo 5 >> Repertorio Español.

Mariela
and José were once the golden couple of the Mexican artist
inner-circle. Together they built a family and an artist colony to host
friends like Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, and Rufino Tamayo. But now their
daughter has grown and run away, Frida and Diego are too famous to
call, and artistic inspiration has been strangled by isolation and
mendacity. Set in an empty artists’ colony in the Mexican desert in
1950, this mystery play reveals what happens to relationships when a
long hidden family lie is exposed.
* También en el Repertorio: Crónica de una muerte anunciada, La Gringa, El Quijote >>Repertorio Español.
* LA CALLAS & MEDEA > 18 de Mayo a 24 de Junio > Thalia Theatre > CALLAS.
* Growing Up González > One man show by Felix Rojas >> Fridays and Saturdays > The Jan Hus Playhouse >> GROWING.
The play is a bittersweet comedy
of two brothers growing up in the Puerto Rican section of the Bronx,
whose coming of age is marked by the untimely death of their father. One
actor plays both parts. The play is filled with the hearty characters,
flavors and textures of The Bronx in the 70's and displays a very witty
understanding of life.
* The Book Of Mormon > by Trey Parker, Robert López y Matt Stone. Teatro Eugene O'Neill >> MORMON.
* LA CALLAS & MEDEA > 18 de Mayo a 24 de Junio > Thalia Theatre > CALLAS.
ESTRENO MUNDIAL BILINGUE de una nueva obra
del aclamado dramaturgo contemporaneo español JAIME SALOM, protagonizada
por las premiadas actrices SOLEDAD LOPEZ y KATHY TEJADA, dirigida por
el prestigioso director español ANGEL GIL ORRIOS. English version by
G.J. Racz.
* Growing Up González > One man show by Felix Rojas >> Fridays and Saturdays > The Jan Hus Playhouse >> GROWING.
 |
| FELIZ ROJAS > Photo cortesia del sito web del artista. |
* RASGOS ASIÁTICOS > by Vicki Grise > winner of Pregones 2011 Asunción Playwrights Project competition > Mayo 31 a Junio 2 > RASGOS.
Rasgos Asiáticos is a memory play that
takes place in the present tense as a story a Chicana of Chinese descent
tells her lesbian lover of her family history. Traveling between the
present and the past both in Texas and México, the play tells tales of
migration, racism, woman loving and hurting.
* Fuerza Bruta > Continúa en el Union Square Theater >> FUERZA.
* Mujeres de Par en Par >> Hasta Junio 2 >> FREE SHOWS > Please visit for more info >> Teatro Bar Times Square
Un espectáculo que mezcla música con pecados capitales, humor y vino, una sacudida teatral que ha levantado el aplauso de público y crítica. Un espectáculo nos muestra sin pudor alguno, las intimidades de cinco féminas que atraviesan distintas circunstancias en la vida: la soltera ilusionada que busca velo y corona, la casada con el marido perfecto, la viuda liberada, la contemporánea que sólo quiere sexo, la frívola que sólo se preocupa por las líneas de expresión y la ley de gravedad, la envidiosa que quiere todo lo que tienen las demás y un hombre que nos cuenta la sencillez de la vida.

Martin y Elena Rogers estrenan Evita en el Teatro Marquis y Raúl
Esparza es la estrella en el nuevo musical Leap of Faith. Se unen así a
The Book of Mormon, otro musical con talento latino.
Ya Off-Broadway, El Repertorio Español continua con En el tiempo de las mariposas y el exitoso solo show Growing up González ahora se presenta todos los viernes y sábados. También un poco de Teatro Infantil, por supuesto!.
Veamos:
* Leap of Faith > Con Raúl Esparza > Pre-estrenos comienzan el 3 de Abril > Teatro St. James > LEAP.
LEAP OF FAITH features a roof-raising new score by eight-time Oscar®-winning composer Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors).The creative team also includes bookwriters Janus Cercone and Tony®-winner Warren Leight (Side Man); Grammy®-winning lyricist Glenn Slater (Tangled); choreographer Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys); and Christopher Ashley, director of the Tony®-winning Best Musical Memphis.
* EVITA > En Pre-estrenos > Teatro Marquis > EVITA.
Eva Perón utilizó su inteligencia y carisma para ascender
rápidamente desde un tugurio de Argentina hasta la residencia
presidencial como Primera Dama. Adorada por su pueblo como la abanderada
de los humildes, se convirtió en una de las mujeres más poderosas del
mundo, mientras que su codicia, descomunal ambición y frágil salud la
convirtieron en la más trágica. EVITA cuenta la apasionada e
inolvidable historia verídica de Eva, y nos deleita con algunas de las
canciones más hermosas del teatro, como "Don't Cry for Me Argentina,"
"Another Suitcase in Another Hall" y "High Flying, Adored."
* En El Tiempo De Las Mariposas > Abril 2, 4, 5, 7, 13 >> En Repertorio Español.

“In The Time of the Butterflies” is the story of the courageous Mirabal
sisters (Patria, Minerva and María Teresa) from the Dominican Republic.
The sisters inspired resistance cells throughout the country against the
dictatorial regime of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. The ‘butterflies’,
their secret code name, were brutally murdered by the regime in 1960.
Based on Julia Álvarez’s popular novel, the martyred butterflies come to vibrant life in a warm, brilliant, and dramatic production by the talented duo – playwright Caridad Svich and director José Zayas– that brought us the critically acclaimed production of Isabel Allende’s “The House of the Spirits” in 2009.

* También en el Repertorio: Crónica de una muerte anunciada >>Repertorio Español.
* Growing Up González > One man show by Felix Rojas >> Fridays and Saturdays > The Jan Hus Playhouse >> GROWING.
The play is a bittersweet comedy
of two brothers growing up in the Puerto Rican section of the Bronx,
whose coming of age is marked by the untimely death of their father. One
actor plays both parts. The play is filled with the hearty characters,
flavors and textures of The Bronx in the 70's and displays a very witty
understanding of life.
When four fabulous female friends reunite, the $#@% hits the proverbial fan: Gigi is pissed, Lucía is about to let her have it, Jesse has a secret she doesn't want her friends to know-- or does she?-- and Melanie's announcement is about to change EVERYTHING. A tale in which friends cling to each other for dear life and tear each other to shreds in the process. An inexplicable hole, a mysterious visitation, a cosmic happening... with dance breaks: BUSTED.
Proceeds from ticket sales will go toward furthering HOLA's much needed advocacy efforts on behalf of the Latino/Hispanic entertainment community.

Un espectáculo que mezcla música con pecados capitales, humor y vino, una sacudida teatral que ha levantado el aplauso de público y crítica. Un espectáculo nos muestra sin pudor alguno, las intimidades de cinco féminas que atraviesan distintas circunstancias en la vida: la soltera ilusionada que busca velo y corona, la casada con el marido perfecto, la viuda liberada, la contemporánea que sólo quiere sexo, la frívola que sólo se preocupa por las líneas de expresión y la ley de gravedad, la envidiosa que quiere todo lo que tienen las demás y un hombre que nos cuenta la sencillez de la vida.

Mariela
and José were once the golden couple of the Mexican artist
inner-circle. Together they built a family and an artist colony to host
friends like Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, and Rufino Tamayo. But now their
daughter has grown and run away, Frida and Diego are too famous to
call, and artistic inspiration has been strangled by isolation and
mendacity. Set in an empty artists’ colony in the Mexican desert in
1950, this mystery play reveals what happens to relationships when a
long hidden family lie is exposed.

* RENDEZ-VOUS WITH FRENCH CINEMA 2012 > MARCH 1-11 > LINCOLN CENTER.
* Internationalist Cinema for Today > March 1-11 > ANTOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES > AFA.
This series pays tribute to a handful of still-undervalued internationalist filmmakers (René Vautier, Bruno Muel, Sarah Maldoror, Raymundo Gleyzer, Margaret Dickinson, Yolande du Luart, Masao Adachi via Philippe Grandrieux, Peter Whitehead) whose courage and generosity saved the honor of cinema in times of colonialism and the struggles for independence. It is also meant to honor some of the cinema’s present-day combatants (Frank Pineda, Florence Jaugey, John Gianvito, Laura Waddington, Florent Marcie, Edouard Beau, Olivier Dury, Paul Cronin…) who are renewing these ideals in different political contexts. “Within oneself, there are also the others” (Jean-Luc Godard, 1997).

Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his
father's ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch faces financial
strains, Armando's younger brother Raúl (Diego Luna) shows up with his
new fiancée, Sonia (Genesis Rodríguez) and pledges to settle all his
father's debt. It seems that Raul's success as an international
businessman means the ranch's troubles are over, but when Armando falls
for Sonia, and Raul's business dealings turn out to be less than legit,
the Alvarez family finds themselves in a full-out war with Mexico's most
feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael García Bernal).

* Miss Bala. De Gerardo Naranjo. México >> En Cartelera > The Angelika.
Esta no es una película con una visión
romántica de México ni mucho menos una oda al narcoterrorismo. Al
contrario, como lo expresa Gerardo Naranjo en el video que pueden ver
debajo, MISS BALA busca presentar de manera más fidedigna lo que está
sucediendo en en país vecino en donde la violencia desatada sobre
ciudadanos indefensos aumenta cada día, ante la incapacidad (o
complicidad) del Estado para protegerlos.
Con largas tomas y sólidas actuaciones,
MISS BALA nos introduce a este mundo sórdido desde el punto de vista de
una jóven, Stephanie Sigman, con sueños de reina de belleza.
* The Artist. De Michel Hazanavici
Hollywood, 1927: As silent movie star George Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he sparks with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break.
* NEON FLESH. De Pablo Cabezas. España > En Cartelera.
Full of style and wild humor, NEON FLESH is a high-energy crime thriller centered around Ricky and the underground world that he lives in. His prostitute mother, Pura, abandoned him when he was 12. Now a young man, he wants to honor her by opening up a brothel when she is released from prison. For help he enlists a pimp, his junkie girlfriend, and a transsexual who believes that she's royalty, but when he finally picks Mom up from the hospital, he's disappointed to learn that she's underwhelmed with his gift. Worse, the location Ricky chose for the brothel encroaches on ruthless thug El Chino's domain.

MAS ESTRENOS:
* FOOTNOTE > Written and Directed by Joseph Cedar. Best Foreign Language Film Oscar Nominee. Winner of the Best Screenplay Prize at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival > Opens March 9 .
FOOTNOTE is the story of insane academic competition, the dichotomy between admiration and envy for a role model, and the very complicated relationship between a father and son.
* BLACK BUTTERFLIES. Directed by Paula Van Der Oest > Opens March 2 in NYC.
Poetry, politics, madness and desire collide in the story of the woman hailed as South Africa's Sylvia Plath. In 1960s Cape Town, as Apartheid steals the expressive rights of blacks and whites alike, young Ingrid Jonker (Carice van Houten, “A Game of Thrones”) finds her freedom scrawling verse while frittering through a series of stormy affairs. Amid escalating quarrels with her lovers and her rigid father, a parliament censorship minister (Rutger Hauer), the poet witnesses an unconscionable event that will alter the course of both her artistic and personal lives.

* DETACHMENT. Directed by
Tony Kaye (AMERICAN HISTORY X) >> Out March 16 in NYC > March 23 Los Angeles.
The long-awaited film DETACHMENT stars
Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody as Henry Barthes, a substitute
teacher who conveniently avoids any emotional connections by never
staying anywhere long enough to form a bond with either his students or
colleagues. A lost soul grappling with a troubled past, Henry finds
himself at a public school where an apathetic student body has created a
frustrated, burned-out administration. Inadvertently becoming a role
model to his students, while also bonding with a runaway teen who is
just as lost as he is, Henry finds that he’s not alone in a life and
death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless
world.
Kaye
has molded a contemporary vision of people who become increasingly
distant from others while still feeling the need to connect. DETACHMENT
features a stellar ensemble cast, including Academy Award® winner Marcia
Gay Harden, Christina Hendricks, William Petersen, Bryan Cranston, Tim
Blake Nelson, Lucy Liu, Blythe Danner, James Caan, and newcomers Sami
Gayle and Betty Kaye.
