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.
Perpetuum Mobile
September 4 at 4:00PM
Winner of the Best Mexican Film Award at the prestigious Guadalajara Festival, Perpetuum Mobile is the story of young Gabino, a van driver in Mexico City living with his nagging mother. In an impressively disciplined narrative, the film creates a portrait of family relationships within a panorama of urban street life. Director Pereda (b. 1982), with only three features, is well on his way to becoming a leading stylist of Mexican cinema. (Nicolás Pereda, 2009, 35 mm, Spanish with subtitles, 90 minutes)
