The Black Land: Chicago Latino Film Festival

The Black Land / La terra negra

After a long absence from her hometown, María returns to work with her brother Ángel in the family business, the town’s industrial mill. In need of an extra pair of hands, Ángel hires Miquel (Sergi López), a man as taciturn as María. The locals are suspicious of Miquel, in part because he was in prison but also because there seems to be something strange about him. María and Miquel understand each other, an understanding that will have serious consequences for those who speak behind their backs.

CLOSING NIGHT GALA: Queens / Reinas

The 41st Chicago Latino Film Festival announces the Closing Night Gala’s selection of Reinas, Peruvian-Swiss director Klaudia Reynicke’s poignant tale about a father trying to earn his daughters’ love back after being absent from their lives for too long.

Queens / Reinas

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Feature in the Generation Kplus program at the Berlinale Film Festival and Best Screenplay award at the Festival de Lima in Peru, Reynicke’s poignant coming-of-age drama is set in 1992 Peru during the "fujimorazo," when President Alberto Fujimori assumed full legislative and judicial powers after dissolving his government. Elena plans to leave the country with her daughters Lucía and Aurora but needs Carlos, their absent father, to sign their departure permits. This gives Carlos the opportunity to earn their love back even though he doesn’t have much to offer them.

CLOSING NIGHT GALA – $75 General / $65 for ILCC Members

Includes access to film screening and Gala after-party with food, drink and live music
