En paralelo, Li cham da testimonio de la influencia que significó el zapatismo para estas mujeres: una mirada desde las comunidades tsotsiles a un movimiento que logró sembrar la lucha y la rebeldía en cada conciencia.

A landmark of political cinema—a stark reconstruction of the urban guerrilla struggle during the Algerian War of Independence.

Set in 1950s Algiers, the film follows Ali La Pointe, a petty criminal who becomes a key figure in the National Liberation Front (FLN), as the resistance organizes a campaign against French colonial rule.

The conflict unfolds through a cycle of insurgency and repression. Bombings, assassinations, and strikes are met with systematic counterinsurgency led by French paratroopers, exposing the mechanisms of control, surveillance, and torture used to dismantle the الثورة.

The film refuses simplification, presenting both sides with procedural clarity rather than moral resolution. Pontecorvo employs a neorealist, documentary-like style—handheld camerawork, nonprofessional actors, and newsreel aesthetics—to create an immediacy that blurs the line between fiction and historical record.

Blending political analysis with visceral tension, the film examines colonial power, resistance, and the ethics of violence. It remains celebrated for its formal precision, historical urgency, and its enduring influence on both political filmmaking and real-world understandings of urban warfare.

Following the screening, there will be a discussion with Brad Rockwell.

Duration: 1:57 hrs. In English

A cult landmark of American cinema—a loose, shaggy detective story filtered through absurdist comedy and noir pastiche.

Set in Los Angeles, the film follows Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski, an aging slacker whose laid-back existence is disrupted when he is mistaken for a millionaire with the same name.

What begins as a case of mistaken identity spirals into a convoluted scheme involving a missing trophy wife, pornographers, nihilists, and a ransom that may or may not exist. The Dude, accompanied by his volatile friend Walter and the hapless Donny, drifts through the chaos with detached confusion, guided less by logic than by circumstance.

Blending genre parody with philosophical undercurrents, the film explores chance, identity, and the illusion of control. It remains celebrated for its idiosyncratic voice, iconic performances, and its transformation from modest release to enduring cultural phenomenon.

Following the screening, there will be a discussion with Amy Cotler.

A defining work of film noir—an adaptation of James M. Cain’s novel that distills desire, betrayal, and fatalism into a tightly wound narrative.

Set in Depression-era California, the film follows Frank Chambers, a drifter who takes a job at a roadside diner and becomes entangled with Cora, the owner’s restless wife. Their attraction quickly turns conspiratorial.

Driven by ambition and resentment, the two devise a plan to murder Cora’s husband and claim both the business and their freedom. What begins as calculated passion unravels into paranoia, guilt, and inevitability, as chance intervenes and the consequences of their actions close in.

Garnett constructs a world governed by impulse and consequence. The stark black-and-white cinematography, charged performances, and claustrophobic settings intensify the sense of moral entrapment.

Following the screening, there will be a discussion with Amy Cotler.
