happy spring hard lighters 🌸
Join us for two Sundays of Argentinean Cinema in April and May with two films by Lucrecia Martel! Martel examines class, race, gender, and sexual power with anti-heroic, complex portraits of Argentinean bourgeois and the lives they attempt to control.
Both screenings are FREE. There is ample free street parking surrounding RPL that is unlimited on weekends. Free refreshments will also be available inside. As always, we are very appreciative of our hosts at the Richmond Public Library Main Branch for making this partnership possible. Hope to see you there!

TWO BY LUCRECIA MARTEL:
The Headless Woman (2011) dir. Lucrecia Martel
📅 April 12
⏰ doors 1:30p / starts 2p
An upper-class woman hits something on the road in a rural part of town and keeps driving. As guilt slowly besets her, friends and family stifle her concerns and attempt to return her to normalcy.

Zama (2017) dir. Lucrecia Martel
📅 May 10
⏰ doors 1:30p / starts 2p
In a remote South American colony in the late 18th century, officer Zama of the Spanish crown waits in vain for a transfer to a more prestigious location. He suffers small humiliations and petty politicking as he increasingly succumbs to lust and paranoia.
