The Global Film Initiative’s award winning Global Lens series supports the growth of vibrant, global filmmaking communities from around the world. This unique Collector’s Edition includes 5 critically acclaimed Latin American films.

KEPT AND DREAMLESS (Las Mantenidas Sin Sueos) – Argentina:
Amidst the economic crisis of the ’90s, Florencia and her daughter, Eugenia, live comfortably. Despite their financial stability, however, their relationship reveals itself to be troubled by an insipid private conflict. (Spanish w. English subs)

MARGARETTE’S FEAST (A Festa de Margarette) – Brazil:
The phenomenal Hique Gomez plays a little-guy-against-the-world. The film makes dazzling use of exhilarating Brazilian music, enigmatic photography, exuberant performances, and a cast of characters spanning the social spectrum that would be the envy of Dicken’s or Balzac. (Portuguese w. English subs)

LIFE KILLS ME (La Vida Me Mata) – Chile:
Life and death come wrapped in a mutual embrace in this witty comedy about unlikely friendship. At work on a low-budget horror film, Gaspar is still reeling from the death of his beloved brother when he meets Alvaro. As Alvaro coaxes Gaspar out of his shell, the complex absurdity of these two personalities takes center stage. (Spanish w. English subs)

FAT, BALD, SHORT MAN (Gordo, Calvo Y Bajito) – Colombia:
Lonsome, middle-aged Antonio is the source of constant ridicule. But things look up when his new boss forces him to join a self-help group and to evaluate his own deep-seated shyness in this stylistically fascinating comic drama. (Spanish w. English subs)

WHISKY – Uruguay:
The lonely, ageing owner of a small sock factor, enlists his loyal assistant to pose as his wife when his successful younger brother comes to visit. This sophisticated gem is at once poignant, funny and life-affirming in its depiction of a solitary life. (Spanish w. English subs)
