Cineclub announces Nov. 29 film

The Spanish Department announces the next film for the Cineclub for Fall 2012. All showings will be on Thursdays at 7 p.m. in the World Room of the Hendrickson Center.

The Nov. 29 Brazilian film, “Quanto Vale Ou É Por Quilo (What’s it Worth?),” directed by Sergio Bianchi, is a free adaptation of Machado de Assis’s short story “Pai Contra Mãe.” The film tries to trace a parallel between life in Brazil during the slavery period and life in modern Brazil. The drama stars Antonia Abujamra and has English subtitles.

One of the main objectives of Cineclub is to provide an opportunity for the Saint Mary’s and Winona communities to enjoy some films from Spain and Latin America that may not typically be shown in local theaters.

In addition to viewing the films, participants will be invited to exchange ideas related to film and other forms of cultural expression. Also, the films may serve as an additional opportunity or resource for students of the Hispanic language, literature, and culture.
