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.
El Calambre
September 11 at 4:00PM
Adrift and lonely in a quiet coastal Mexican village, a rootless young Frenchman meets an older local fisherman who gradually helps the outsider resume a life, with a few surprises along the way. As in his earlier work, Matías Meyer probes connections between society and nature with a documentary-like approach that watches while characters struggle to synchronize with hostile environments. (Matías Meyer, 2009, 35 mm, Spanish with subtitles, 95 minutes)
