LATINBEAT 2008 September 5 – 25 Today's Schedule Director appearances: The Film Society joins forces with New York Women in Film and Television to celebrate the strong presence of women in Latin American filmmaking. On Sunday, September 7 at 11:30 a.m in the Furman Gallery there will be a Brunch and Conversation with Latin American Filmmakers. Admission is complimentary with the purchase of a ticket to the 1 p.m. screening of Kill Them All. That’s just one of many opportunities there will be to meet the directors of the films screening in Latinbeat ‘08. Innovative technique and independent spirit set the tone for Latinbeat ‘08 Lines of dialogue in the shimmering, hallucinatory Wadley: 0~~~ Number of hours Rodrigo Marín spent shooting his debut feature The Girls: 24 ~~~ Number of stories woven into two uninterrupted, 40 minute takes in Still Orangutans: 6 In recent years, Latin American filmmakers have been grabbing the spotlight with their audacious visions. If you’ve seen Alejandro González Iñárritu’s gripping Amores Perros (a NYFF selection in 2000), Alfonso Cuarón’s tender Y Tu Mama Tambien (NYFF 2001), or Brazil’s kinetic City of God you’ll want to discover the exciting young indie talent debuting in this year’s Latinbeat. And with 28 films from ten countries in a one month-long event, Latinbeat ‘08 is bursting with vibrant diversity: Comedies: In this year’s line up the comedies run the gamut from wacky romps like Chile Puede, in which the hapless solo member of Chile’s aeronautics program is stranded in space, to affectionate social satires like The Pope's Toilet, which follows rakish smugglers as they try to capitalize on the Pontiff’s visit to Brazil. Merrily blending plot lines, time sequences and even genres, Scrambled Beer is a fun black comedy that tracks scrappy Vladimir through a truly earth-shattering bender. Hard-hitting investigations: Kill Them All is a docu-drama that takes a searing looking inside Operation Condor and the legacy of human rights abuses in Uruguay and elsewhere in Latin America, while Man of Two Havanas is documentarian Vivien Lesnik Weisman’s portrait of her father Max Lesnik, a polarizing figure in the Cuban exile community. Gripping capers: Part thriller and a whole lot of action film, with sparks of very black humor, Dog Eat Dog follows two hitmen in Cali, Colombia and makes a nod to Tarantino in its form and style. The Old Thieves paints a chilling yet humorous portrait of a generation of real-life thieves who were famous in 1960s Mexico for their exploits and the wild success they enjoyed in the process. Sample the range: A series pass is an excellent way to sample the diverse offerings of Latinbeat ’08: it admits one person to five titles in the Latinbeat 2008 series. $40 public/$30 Film Society member.
