Cinema Tucsón at the Fox Tucson Theatre
Programmed by Carlos A. Gutiérrez and Vicky Westover
Presented by Cinema Tropical and the UA Center for Latin American Studies in partnership with the Consulado de México en Tucson
Mexican cinema continues to generate world-wide enthusiasm, and now we will be able to bring even more of it to the Tucson community! Cinema Tucsón will present films through an exciting format – monthly screenings (with some exceptions) throughout the year at the Fox Tucson Theatre, a new dedicated home for Mexican cinema. We will provide a mix of classic films, B movies, and new cinema with exceptional filmmakers from Mexico for dialogue with our audiences. And because there is plenty of seating in the historic Fox Tucson Theatre, you will not have to worry about getting a seat! We look forward to seeing you again.
On Sunday, March 20, Cinema Tucsón will present Hari Sama’s This Is Not Berlin, a film offering a revealing portrait of Mexico City in the eighties-- an era of deep political, social, and cultural change that shaped today's Mexico.
This Is Not Berlin follows 17-year-old Carlos, an introverted kid who doesn't fit in: not in his family nor at school. Everything changes when he's invited to the Aztec, a legendary Mexico City nightclub where he discovers the underground nightlife scene-- post punk, sexually fluid, and fueled by drugs. Carlos's awakening will challenge his relationship with his best friend Gera, the brother of his crush, Rita, while helping him discover his passion for experimental art and leading him into adulthood.
