Wed Jun 12 7:00 PM

Meet us on the lawn in Fort Greene Park for our second annual program of international Spanish-language films that highlight community, family, and identity. The films in this year’s lineup explore the many complexities of these relationships, peering into the ties that bind: from a lost friend’s unconventional memorial to a harrowing look at an unusual summer job, Vidas Vibrantes is a transportive study and celebration of Spanish-speaking communities around the world.

The Films

So They Say (Así Dicen)

Natalia Luque | Chile, US | 18

Rumors spread like wildfire in a small Chilean town as an aborted fetus is found floating on the lake.

An Exemplary Punk

Diandra Arriaga | Mexico | 11

We didn’t want to be anyone’s example, nor did anyone set us as an example. From our first slam together, I knew we were going to be connected forever. You also understood the power of that catharsis, the power of not being conformed. This is a goodbye with the same intensity as that dance, an opportunity to validate the contradiction and for us to meet one last time where we most liked to be, where no one told us what we had to be."

God Level

César Tormo García | Spain | 12

Laura, a fanciful 16-year old teenager is in love with her young and attractive Religion teacher and will experience an excessive spiritual awakening that will lead her to lose her mind.

The Moon Will Contain Us (Solo la Luna Comprenderá)

Kim Torres | Costa Rica, US | 16

As a magical moon creeps in, different timelines entwine in the mysterious and stagnant town of Manzanillo.

A Summer Job (Un Trabajo de Verano)

Joie Estrella Horwitz & Sergi Castella | US | 15

In a small U.S./Mexico border town, two teenagers drive through desert roads on their way to perform their summer job.
