Wednesday, November 17: Elpidio Valdés (un filme de Juan Padrón )

Wednesday, November 17

 Frick Fine Arts Auditorium : 6:30pm

Elpidio Valdés

(un filme de Juan Padrón, 1980 )

 


Acclaimed Cuban director Juan Padrón sends communist cartoon hero Elpidio Valdés -- Cuba's most popular animated character -- on a series of adventures to help members of the disenfranchised working class stand up to the world's most tyrannical capitalists. Every time this pint-sized protagonist takes down another greedy businessman for the sake of the downtrodden, you'll find yourself rooting for the little guy.

 

Amigos del Cine Latinoamericano extends a very cordial invitation to 

Fall 2010 Film Series

Cuban Eyes/ Cubanize:
Fifty Years of Cuban Cinema since the Cuban Revolution

The Impact of Tomás Gutierrez Alea on the Work and Lives of Latin Americanist Scholars: An Intimate Dialogue

In 1973, The New York Times listed "Memories of Underdevelopment" (Tomas Gutierrez, 1968) among the year's ten best films. US critics and scholars acclaimed the film with praise. The National Society of Film Critics offered Gutierrez a special award, but the US government denied him a visa, preventing the director from attending the ceremony.  Despite this event and the ongoing economic and cultural blockade of the island, Cuban Cinema and its cultural productions had been continually succeeding in breaking through the cultural blockade and getting the attention of scholars, film makers, film critics and the general public. In this sense, the work of Gutierrez Alea not only impacted the critical thinking of numerous intellectuals, but also contributed to their own personal views about the revolution, race, and social inequalities.

The goal of this dialogue is to discuss the influence of Gutierrez Alea's films on the work and lives of Latin American scholars from an intimate perspective. This event constitutes part of Amigos del Cine Latinoamericano Fall 2010 homage to Cuban Film production through the work of Tomás Gutierrez Alea, an essential figure in the development of Latin American Cinema during the 20th Century.
Participants:

·         Welcome by Kathleen Musante DeWalt (Director, Center for Latin American Studies)

·         Moderator: Mildred López (PhD student, Department of Hispanic Languages and Literature and Center for Latin American Studies)

·         John Beverley (Professor, Department of Hispanic Languages and Literatures). His work focuses on testimonio, film and the Cuban Revolution. Prof. Beverley will share with us how Gutierrez Alea's work impacted his views on the revolution.

·         Jerome Branch (Professor, Department of Hispanic Languages and Literatures). His work focuses on topics of afro-negritud in the Caribbean.  Prof. Branch will be sharing with us the impact Gutierrez Alea's work had on issues of race (negritude).

·         Mirtha Ibarra (Film Director and wife of Gutierrez Alea) will introduce TITON, FROM HAVANA TO GUANTANAMERA, the documentary that she directed on the life and work of Tomás Gutiérrez Alea.

Date: Friday, November 19, 2010

Location: Frick Fine Arts Auditorium

Time: 5:30 p.m. (Reception), 6:15 p.m. (Dialogue), 7:00 p.m. (Film projection)
