Tigers Are Not Afraid / Vuelven Friday September 13th through Thursday September 19th A haunting horror fairytale set against the backdrop of Mexico's devastating drug wars, Tigers Are Not Afraid follows a group of orphaned children armed with three magical wishes, running from the ghosts that haunt them and the cartel that murdered their parents. Filmmaker Issa López creates a world that recalls the early films of Guillermo del Toro, imbued with her own gritty urban spin on magical realism at its most tragic, to conjure a wholly unique experience that audiences will not soon forget.  "A fairytale for today, beautiful, shocking and chilling." - Neil Gaiman "This is one terrific film, both tough and touching. Two minutes in, I was under it's spell." - Stephen King "An unsparing blend of fantasy and brutality, innocence and evil. Innovative, compassionate, and mesmerizing." - Guillermo Del Toro 83 min / Not Rated / Starring Paola Lara, Juan Ramón López, Hanssel Casillas, Ianis Guerrero, and Tenoch Huerta / Fantasy Horror Directed by Issa López / Mexico 2017 In Spanish with English subtitles.   Regent Square Theater 1035 South Braddock Ave, Regent Square Friday through Tuesday: 7:00, 9:00 pm Wednesday: 7:00 pm Thursday: 7:00, 9:00 pm   Friday October 11th through October 24th Harris Theater Monos  105 min / Rated R for violence, language, some sexual content and drug use / Starring Sofia Buenaventura, Julian Giraldo, Karen Quintero / Drama Directed by Alejandro Landes / 2019 Colombia | Argentina | Netherlands | Germany | Sweden | Uruguay / English & Spanish with subtitles On a faraway mountaintop, eight kids with guns watch over a hostage and a conscripted milk cow.

 

SALSA 9/9/19 Update

Hola Amigos!

 

I know it's been a while, so I first want to say hello! SALSA is still up and running and planning a fantastic Noche Latina for you all this year. Additionally, we have been working with UPitt's Hispanic Heritage Month Committee to gather the dates of all of the HHM events taking place in the community between Sept 15-October 15th.

 

The full list of events can be found here, but I have highlighted three of the events below. Please check out the entire list as it has over 2 dozen events hosted by community members, UPitt faculty, and CMU! (And they're truly amazing!)

 

Lastly, please reach out to us if you are interested in (or know anyone interested in) volunteering for Noche Latina, joining SALSA or getting more involved with our eboard, or performing at Noche Latina during our student talent section.

 

Wishing you all the best this HHM!
