ICYMI on KPBS on Midday Edition: For three decades, the San Diego Latino Film Festival (SDLFF) has been showcasing diverse voices from around the globe. This year it serves up 160 films, food, and music for an eleven-day celebration of Latinx culture.
in East Village as a satellite venue that will be activated during the entire 11 days of the festival.The gorgeously shot"Antes que lleguen los zopilotes" is one of the films in the Un Mundo Extraño Showcase at San Diego Latino Film Festival.Each year the festival offers sidebars and showcases focusing on different themes, issues and genres. The categories make it easier for attendees to look for films that might suit their tastes or interests.
"The most experimental film is 'Antes que lleguen los zopilotes,'" Esparza said."It's a black and white feature directed by Jonás N. Díaz. It blends themes of magical realism with melodrama. And it's about two women who are trying to exit their own domestic spheres and kind of chart their own path. And it has just really beautiful imagery that I still think about.
"'Huesera,' directed by Michelle Garza Cervera, is a film from Mexico," Esparza said."It has kind of all of the facets of maybe a horror film. It's a bit of a haunted house film, there's possession elements in it — black magic. But it's also a very interior film about the anxieties of motherhood. So it works on very fascinating planes. We have the director and some of the actresses coming to present the film on closing day of the festival.
"I think what I'm excited about this year is showcasing these new films that have kind of come after the height of the pandemic that are very ambitious thematically as well as visually," Esparza said."They play with genre in very fascinating ways. I guess a common theme that I saw this year is this play on domesticity, because we were all locked away in our house, our the domestic sphere.
