[Students] Hispanic Film Showcase Feature - Danzón, Oct 19th at 6pm

[Kim Jefferies]

The Spanish Program and the Office of Hispanic Outreach at Texas A&M University-Commerce present Gender Issues in Latin American Cinema at our Hispanic Film Showcase, second movie of the series. 

This fall 2012, the theme for our Film Showcase is Gender Issues in Latin American Cinema. This showcase is dealing with representations of "masculinity" and "femininity" as social constructions in Latin America, and how individuals cope with what culture demands of their gender choices.

Our second movie of the series is Danzón (1991) by Mexican director, María Novaro.  Danzón is the story of one woman's journey of self- discovery. It concerns Julia (María Rojo), who works as a telephone operator in Mexico City and enjoys a form of ballroom dance  called "danzón".  Julia and Carmelo (Daniel Rergis), have been dance partners for six years, when suddenly Carmelo inexplicably disappears. Julia sets out to find him and achieves, in the process, to find herself.  [Spanish with English subtitles]. Danzón is rated PG-13.

 

Date: Friday October 19 at 6pm. All movies will be played at the Theater 203 in the Hall of Languages. Questions? please contact Dr. María Fernández-Lamarque maria.lamarque at tamuc.edu
