Talk – Tucson Cine Mexico: 'Mexican Cinema Under Neoliberalism: A Conversation on Politics and Film'

When: March 31, 2019 11:00am

The United States' longest-running festival of Mexican film, Tucson Cine Mexico is a signature program of the UA Hanson FilmTV Institute. This year's dates are March 27-31.  

The festival presents a talk, "Mexican Cinema Under Neoliberalism: A Conversation With Filmmaker Carlos Rossini on the Intersection of Film and Politics in the 21st Century."

Mexico is currently going through a profound political transformation. Last year's crushing electoral win of Andrés Manuel López Obrador as the new president of Mexico signaled the end of an era marked by neoliberalism policies that were implanted in Mexico since the eighties. Rossini, director and producer of "The Chambermaid" and "The Mayor," will discuss the intersection of Mexican cinema and politics in the new century, how neoliberalist policies shaped the narratives and modes of production south of the border and what is currently at stake in Mexican cinema with the change in the federal government.
