Join us for our new online documentary series, LOVE YOUR LOCAL, with our first screening of this programme...
LLEVATE MIS AMORES + Q&A | SUNDAY 2ND AUGUST
Arturo González Villaseñor / Mexico / 2014 / 90’ / certificate TBC (cost of screening is on a sliding scale from £1-£8, i.e. pay what you can/want and inc the screening fee)
La Patrona is a Mexican village situated by the tracks of a train known as “The Beast”, that brings many migrants from Central America across the border to the US. There, since 1995, a group of local women spend their days preparing food and tossing it towards the migrants as the train rushes by, in the hope of helping them in their long journey.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the film director, Arturo González Villaseñor.
The films in this series can be seen via our new Eventive Virtual cinetopia.eventive.org/welcome. You will actually be able to watch the film throughout the day on the 2nd of August in case you can't make the screening right at 7 pm, but we'll be doing our LIVE Q&A right after the film ends at 8:30 pm.
This screening is the 1st of 4 and part of Cinetopia: DOC - Love Your Local, a programme of documentaries and curated online discussion exploring the significance of community.
At a time where social distancing has imposed huge changes to our social habits, this programme intends to explore different aspects of the importance of finding yourself being part of a community. Born at the intersection between someone’s needs and someone else’s willingness to help, the communities depicted in these films are extraordinary examples of people’s desire to support each other and be connected, and show us how in these gatherings one can find friendship, support, and a sense of belonging.
