GenMex: A New Generation of Cine Mexicano
September 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 25
In a memorable year for Mexico—2010 marks both the bicentennial of independence from Spain and the 100th anniversary of the start of the Mexican Revolution—it's also becoming abundantly clear that fresh directorial talents are invigorating the burgeoning pool of distinctive cinema known as Nuevo Cine Mexicano, one of the world's most dynamic national cinema movements. This series includes the work of eight filmmakers. Presented in association with the Mexican Cultural Institute and the Embassy of Mexico. The Gallery wishes to thank Carlos Gutiérrez.
Alamar
Constructing a fictional tale from a true life episode, Alamar documents a boy's extended visit with his father and grandfather in the secluded fishing villages near Mexico's fabled Banco Chinchorro, before returning to Rome to live forever with his Italian mother. "The simplicity and details of a wonderful but limited experience pared down to their most honest, most untroubled, and often most beautiful essences"—Daniel Kasman. (Pedro González-Rubio, 2010, 35 mm, Spanish with subtitles, 73 minutes)
