TropiChat: Latin-O-American
|
|
|
|
On September 10, Latinbeat/The Film Society of Lincoln Center, Cinema Tropical and NALIP-NY joined forces to present this annual showcase of the most promising New York-based Latino and Latin American filmmakers in order to celebrate the talent emerging from these communities. In case you missed the event, this latest edition of the TropiChat monthly cable series strives to open up a much needed dialogue in hopes of building bridges from which all groups can benefit and finding better, more accurate ways to incorporate the diverse cultural manifestations coming from both the U.S. Latin and Latin American filmmaking experience. Participants include: Natalia Almada (El General), Cruz Angeles (Don't Let Me Drown) and Alex Rivera (Sleep Dealer). Moderated by Carlos A. Gutiérrez, Co-founding director, Cinema Tropical.
