La Mirada Invisible / The Invisible Eye
dir. Diego Lerman (Argentina)
Set during Argentina's military regime of the 1980s, a lonely and deeply repressed assistant teacher at an elite Buenos Aires private school becomes obsessed with one of her students, despite "the school's rigid code of conduct and proud identification with the nation state."
Tuesday, April 26th, 7pm
La Vida Útil / A Useful Life
dir. Federico Veiroj (Uruguay)
Art derives from life as real-life Uruguayan critic Jorge Jellinek portrays an old cinema's most devoted employee. After 25 years, Cinemateca Uruguaya is forced to close due to lack of support. Jorge has devoted his life to caring for his beloved arthouse cinema, and now finds he needs to get a new life.
Wednesday, April 27th, 7pm
Os Inquilinos / The Tenants
dir. Sérgio Bianchi (Brazil)
A manual laborer/night student and his family live a relatively contented life in working-class São Paulo, until some young criminals move in next door. The real meaning of "there goes the neighborhood" as a community deals with both real and imagined dangers in an increasingly chaotic atmosphere.
