SUMMARY:A Song For My Land
DESCRIPTION:Dir. Mauricio Albornoz | Argentina\, 2024\nSpanish with English subtitles | 90 mins | Documentary | Rated PG \nIn a rural town in Argentina\, Ramiro Lezcano\, a charismatic music teacher\, discovers a disturbing reality affecting the region: airplanes and ground fertilizing machines spray near rural schools\, endangering the health of his students. Determined to take action\, Ramiro joins his students to write songs that denounce this silent tragedy and raise awareness. However\, his initiative faces fierce resistance: the local community\, dependent on the prevailing agricultural model\, rejects the project\, and the media ignores his cause. Faced with this censorship\, Ramiro decides to take his protest further and attempts to organize an “Environmental Woodstock” in the countryside\, where his music and fight can resonate powerfully and reach everyone. \n

SUMMARY:MEMORIES OF A BURNING BODY
DESCRIPTION:*There is a second screening on Wednesday\, Sept 10th at Cineworks \nDir. Antonella Sudasassi | Costa Rica\, 2024\nSpanish with English subtitles | 90 min | Narrative \nThis is the second feature film by Antonella Sudasassi\, an up and coming Costa Rican filmmaker.  \nGrowing up in a repressive era when sexuality was a taboo subject\, 68-year-old Ana\, 69-year-old Patricia and 71-year-old Mayela developed their understanding of what it means to be a woman based on unspoken rules and implicit expectations. Now they dare to talk about it openly. The memories\, secrets and longings of the three are interwoven in a poetic way: while the women tell their stories off-screen\, they fill the body of another woman of their generation who incarnates their lives. \nWorld Premiere\, Berlin Film Festival\, 2024. \n \n\n
