SUMMARY:Landfall
DESCRIPTION:Screening and Conversation \nThrough shard-like glimpses of everyday life in post-Hurricane María Puerto Rico\, LANDFALL is a cautionary tale for our times. Set against the backdrop of protests that toppled the US colony’s governor in 2019\, the film offers a prismatic portrait of collective trauma and resistance. Featuring intimate encounters with Puerto Ricans as well as the newcomers flooding the island\, LANDFALL reflects on a question of contemporary global relevance: when the world falls apart\, who do we become? \nPost-screening conversation and talkback with Associate Producer/Narrator\, Lale Namerrow Pastor.\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1RAKj25efs \nPerformances will be presented at limited capacity in the Teatro. Social distancing and masks recommended throughout the event regardless of vaccination status.
