Screening of Al Más allá / To the Far Side - Obstinate Memory / La memoria obstinada: Documentary Films from Mexico

Haverford College: KINSC Sharpless Auditorium

Lourdes Portillo (2008, Mexico/USA) (43 mins)

Al Más Allá is an experimental documentary that uses narrative elements to explore the realities of shifting global wealth and drug trafficking along the Mayan coastline of Mexico.  When a vain filmmaker leads a fictional documentary crew through a beach town to interview real local merchants and tour guides, more than information stands between her and the truth.
