Second Latin American Film Showcase: Women On The Verge, Premieres Friday

Women in cinema, listen up. The Laemmle Sunset 5 presents the Second Annual Latin American Film Showcase: Women on the Verge, this Friday, August 12, through Thursday, August 18.

Showcasing five films created by both up-and-coming and established Latin American female filmmakers, the premiere features those creations that "celebrate and embrace traditional Latino sensibilities and values while also exploring the realities of the human condition and the conflict created when these cannot be reconciled."

At the core of each of these five films beats the heart of a woman: a woman at a defining crossroads in life who is on the verge of transcending her current circumstance or making that false step that could send her into the abyss.

The five featured films are as follows.

“The Water at the End of the World” (Argentina)

“The Good Herbs” (Mexico)

"It's Your Fault" (Argentina)

“Of Love and Other Demons” (Costa Rica)

“Portraits in a Sea of Lies ” (Columbia)

Information detailing each film can be found online.

General admission tickets are available for each film as well as a special $30 Showcase Pass that covers admittance to all five films. Tickets can be purchased at the theater.
