THE FABULOUS PICTURE SHOW - SIN NOMBRE
You are invited to join us for screenings of films as part of The Fabulous Picture Show, where our audience attend the screenings and discussions of forthcoming cutting-edge feature films from around the world.
On Friday 10th July 2009, we will be joined by the director of 'Sin Nombre', Cary Fukunaga for a special screening of Sin Nombre.
Sin Nombre is a powerful, wrenching thriller that weaves together several absorbing stories set in Central America. It also is the most moving and well-told saga of Latin American immigrants bound for the USA since 1983's El Norte’. – Claudia Puig, USA TODAY
A social-political thriller, Sin Nombre is set not on the Mexican-American border, but rather on the perilous road to that border from the countries of Central America. The fearsome gangs of the Mexican countryside become a gauntlet that migrants must run before even glimpsing their goal. The stories of Sayra, a teenager living in Honduras and hungering for a brighter future, and teen gang members Smiley and Casper, for whom the Mara Salvatrucha gang is nearly their entire universe, become interlaced on the train to the border – a journey that will determine the future of their lives. Young Casper is already a wary veteran of the "Mara," and his new recruit is the 12-year-old Smiley, full of bravado and looking for status. The two run afoul of the everyday violence that permeates their world, and find themselves fellow passengers with Sayra on a States-bound freight, hugging the rooftop as their precarious road trip unfolds.
After the screening, audience members will have the chance to discuss the film with its director, Cary Fukunaga, in a Q&A hosted by journalist Amanda Palmer.
