Feminist Film Series: The Dispute Over Latin America – Se Fue a Volver (Mexico 2023)

Join us for the second screening of our 2024 Feminist Film Series: The Dispute for Latin America, which focus on the judicial war in Ecuador.

We’ll be screening a teaser to Influjo Psíquico by @alecardona_films and the documentar Se Fue a Volver by @enriquezborges, two films which chronicle the political persecution against the leadership of the Citizen Revolution following the departure of the government of former Ecuadorian president, Rafael Correa.

In the last two decades and after the end of the so-called “pink tide”, Latin America has experienced a reactionary counter-offensive. In the fourth year of this film series, we seek to map this counter-offensive and the tactics it has used to orchestrate soft coups, persecute political opponents, and handcuff leftist governments.

⏱️ Doors open at 7:00 pm and the film will start at 8:00 pm sharp. Please stay with us after the screening for a group discussion of the films!

🥟 We will have empanadas, jamaica water and wine from local vendors. A discount is available if you bring your own reusable water bottle.

We request a suggested donation of $10 to help us maintain our feminist programming, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

United Palace: Finding Nemo

Date: Sunday, July 28th | Doors: 4:00pm | Screening: 5:00pm | $5 Tickets

400 Nemo’s are missing in the United Palace – help find them before the movie starts! One Nemo finder will win a pair of tickets to the New York Aquarium and other Coney Island goodies.

This 2003 Pixar classic follows the story of a timid clownfish who sets out on a rescue mission for his son after he’s captured in the Great Barrier Reef and taken to Sydney. Voiced by Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres. Directed by Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich. Written by Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson, and David Reynolds. The movie is 1 hour and 40 minutes, Rated G, and will be screened on DCP.

Finding Nemo continues the Movies at the Palace Season of Friendship. We chose that theme after asking ourselves what we need most to get through 2024. Our supporters and fans helped us select the movies in the series, including:

  • Finding Nemo (2003): July 28
  • Thelma & Louise (1991): Date TBD
  • The Breakfast Club (1985): Date TBD
  • Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977): Date TBD
  • Little Women (2019): Date TBD

 

Please note: The Season of Friendship is a different series than Movies at the Palace with Lin-Manuel Miranda, who is not scheduled to be at this screening.
