Select films are going to be followed by Q & A sessions featuring a panel of experts. All events are free to the general public, and the first 20 first attendees get free popcorn!

Filmmaker Sebastián (Gael García Bernal) and his cynical producer Costa (Luis Tosar) arrive in Cochabamba, Bolivia to make a film about Columbus’s voyage to the New World and the subjugation of the indigenous population. Just as filming begins, the natives face a crisis when the government privatizes the water company and prices skyrocket. Daily protests erupt and the local man cast as a rebellious sixteenth century Taino chief, also becomes a leader in the water hike protests. This film was the Spanish submission for the 2012 Best Foreign-Language Academy Award.
