The Los Angeles Film Festival Starts Today

Where Are Their Stories?
¿Donde Estan Sus Historias?
Los Angeles Film Festival - International Showcase
(Canada , Mexico, 2007, 73 mins)
In Spanish with English subtitles
35mm

Nicolás Pereda's fiercely disquieting debut immediately places him in the ranks of countrymen Carlos Reygadas and Alejandro González Iñárritu as a gifted chronicler of a Mexico reeling with petty injustice and irrevocably separated into rural and urban classes. The deceptively simple story of Vicente, a young man trying to save his grandmother's land from her avaricious sons, is patiently deepened by Pereda's mesmerizing long takes and keen eye for emotional detail. Completed with minimal means but maximum intensity, the film presents a world where everything and everyone is for sale, but where grace can still be found in the spaces between.

Showtimes are:
Saturday, June 21st 4:30pm
AMC Avco Center
$12.00

Wednesday, June 25th 7:00pm
The Landmark
$12.00
