Neighboring Scenes: New Latin American Cinema 2018
February 28 - March 4, 2018
Two smugglers’ journey through Colombia’s Guajira peninsula becomes a parable for the search for an idealized land. Screening with Camilo Restrepo’s short La Bouche.
Q&A with Chris Gude
In this experimental road movie, director Chris Gude (Mambo Cool) follows two smugglers attempting to cross into Colombia from Venezuela. As the men drive across the sun-soaked terrain of the Guajira peninsula, occasionally stopping off to wander or play pool in the lonely ruins of abandoned buildings, their journey comes to symbolize a search for an idealized land. Gesturing toward Colombia’s colonial legacy (such as when the pair listen to a Hugo Chávez radio broadcast about Simón Bolívar), this beautifully photographed film gives the viewer ample room to ponder questions of space and identity. U.S. Premiere
