Hispanic Film Festival: Asalto al cine
Sunday, October 13, 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Psychology 105
This event is open only to current Reed students, faculty, and staff.
The Spanish department is sponsoring a Hispanic film festival featuring current movies from various Latin American countries and Spain. All films are subtitled and will be screened Sundays, 4–6 p.m., in Psychology 105. Please join us to enjoy these contemporary films, learn about political and cultural concerns, and practice your Spanish.
The film for Sunday, October 13, is Asaito ai cine. Negus, Chale, Sapo and Chata are teenagers who grew up in the same rundown district of Mexico City. They spend their days listening to hip-hop, smoking marihuana and fantasizing about the opposite sex. One day they have the bright idea of robbing a movie theater, jeopardizing the one sure thing they have in life – their friendship. An explosive, entertaining comedy with impeccable performances, this original, unpredictable debut establishes Iria Gómez Concheiro as a promising new voice in Mexican cinema. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival.
The Hispanic Film Festival was made possible with the support of Pragda, and the Embassy of Spain in Washington, D.C., Spain-USA Foundation. Special thanks to the Secretary of State for Culture of Spain.
