The Aging of the Plum
By Arístides Vargas (Argentina/Eduador)
Directed by Abel López
D.C. Premiere
September 18–October 12, 2008

A fantastic journey through the memories of two sisters who, with humor and tenderness, reveal three generations of women as they liberate themselves from a world bound by tradition. Playing poetically with elements of time and aging, Vargas
evokes Latin American magical realism at its best.

In Spanish with English surtitles.

The Best Judge, the King
By Lope de Vega (Spain)
Directed by Macarena Baeza
U.S. Premiere
January 29-February 22, 2009

This powerful drama of honor and justice is considered one of Lope’s masterpieces, yet is rarely produced. When Galician peasants Sancho and Elvira’s wedding plans are cancelled by feudal lord Tello, who wants Elvira for himself and cruelly violates her, the King disguises himself as a magistrate to personally see that justice is served. In Spanish with English surtitles.


The True History of Coca-Cola in Mexico

By Patrick Scott and Aldo Velasco (Mexico)
Directed by José Carrasquillo (Puerto Rico)

April 2–26, 2009


Fasten your seatbelts for this politically charged and far-reaching comedy about exploitation. Two filmmakers – a young second generation Latino and his gringo friend – travel to Mexico to document how American pop culture has invaded the Mexican
way of life. The actors play multiple roles, from a Spanish conquistador, to five Mexican presidents, to an entire village, in a hilarious medley of historical reenactments interspersed with “real-life” scenes. In English with Spanish surtitles.
