Kept and Dreamless
Argentina, 2005

During Argentina’s economic crisis of the 90’s, nine year-old Eugenia and her mother, Florencia, live a seemingly colorful life surrounded by eclectic neighbors and an offbeat collection of family. But for Eugenia, who must deal with her mother’s dysfunctional and drug-addled lifestyle, life is anything but pleasant in this darkly inspiring story of expectation, acceptance and nontraditional family, led by standout performances from director Vera Fogwill and young actress Lucia Snieg.

All are welcome to attend.

Opera Jawa
Indonesia, 2006

Filmed in the lush forest and on pristine beaches of Java, director Garin Nugroho’s deeply imagistic and dazzling visual narrative is based on “The Abduction of Sita” from the Hindu epic, Ramayana.  Setyo and Siti live a peaceful life as husband and wife, selling earthenware in their village. But when Setyo is called away on business, a flirtatious butcher, Ludiro takes advantage of Siti’s loneliness to seduce her. Tempted by song and dance, Siti initially refuses his advances but acquiesces in a moment of weakness, setting the stage for an epic battle between two men.
