for Apr. 19 - 25
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
THURSDAY, APRIL 19:
IMMIGRATION SERIES: "De nadie" ("Of Nobody")
will be screened at 7 p.m. in 204 Newton Hall. Directed by Tin Dirdamal, the film was shot in Mexico and
runs 82 minutes. Dirdamal will be on hand to introduce his film and lead a
discussion. Born in 1982 in Mexico, Dirdamal has a background in engineering.
Without any cinematographical experience, he first took a camera and made this
film—his first feature documentary. He continues making films in an
attempt to better understand how we as human beings relate. He is currently
working on a film about the future of water. In "De nadie," Dirdamal explores the fact that individuals who
leave their countries in hopes of a better life in America have a rough road
ahead of them. He follows a number of refugees in a south Mexican refugee
center, from where they hitch illegal rides on freight trains to the northern
border. "De nadie" won the
Sundance Film Festival's Audience Award for World Cinema in 2006 and has been
the official selection at festivals around the world. The film has won more
than 15 awards at film festivals in Mexico, the U.S., Spain, France and
Iceland.
