SUMMARY:INSULAR POSSESSIONS: IMPERIAL LEGACIES OF 1898 WITH A SPECIAL SCREENING OF CALL HER GANDA
DESCRIPTION:Co-sponsored by the NYU Native Studies Forum\, the NYU Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies\, and Asian/Pacific/American Studies Program in the NYU Department of Social & Cultural Analysis. \nThe year 1898 has conventionally been regarded as the American “imperial moment\,” when the United States acquired and occupied a number of island nations\, both in the Pacific and the Caribbean. One hundred twenty years after the Treaty of Paris\, which ended the Spanish-American War\, as well as the alleged annexation of Hawai‘i\, what have been the legacies and ongoing effects of this “imperial archipelago”? How did the distinct but overlapping colonial practices of Spain and the United States shape social and cultural life? What has been the formal legal and political status of the Philippines\, Guåhan (Guam)\, Cuba\, Puerto Rico\, Samoa\, and Hawai‘i? \nThis half-day symposium ends with a screening of the award-winning documentary Call Her Ganda and Q&A with filmmaker PJ Raval (University of Texas\, Austin). The film follows the fight for justice for Jennifer Laude\, a Filipina trans woman who was murdered by a US serviceman in 2014. The screening is co-sponsored by the NYU Center for the Study of Gender & Sexuality.

SUMMARY:Indocumentales-En el Séptimo día/On The Seventh Day
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at New York University (CLACS)\, Cinema Tropical\, and the World Council of Peoples for the United Nations / What Moves You?\, are proud to announce the official re-launch of INDOCUMENTALES – a film and conversation series committed to exploring the multiplicity of Latin American migrant experiences in our country through compassionate representation and critical dialogue. \nINDOCUMENTALES began in May of 2010 as Indocumentales: the US/Mexico Interdependent Film Series with screenings and panel discussions at New York University’s King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center and other venues throughout the five boroughs including the Americas Society and Cervantes Institute in Midtown Manhattan\, the Dwyer Cultural Center in Harlem\, the Casita Maria Center for the Arts in the Bronx\, the Beacon Center for the Arts in Bushwick\, Brooklyn\, and the Queens Museum in Corona\, New York. It since traveled across the U.S.\, as well as to Mexico and Canada\, engaging diverse communities in reflecting on their relationship to the questions posed in the films. \nFor the fall of 2018 re-launch\, INDOCUMENTALES is returning to its origins in New York City with two films that focus on immigrant experiences in this city. We are proud to present David Riker’s critically-acclaimed film La Ciudad (1998) followed by Jim McKay’s most recent feature En El Séptimo Día (2018). Twenty years between their releases\, the films nevertheless employ similar narrative structures and production models: both are filmed on location in New York\, in Spanish\, with majority non-professional actors. Moreover\, both films\, through contrasting but complimentary styles\, speak to the struggle of newly-arrived Latin American migrants for survival\, respect\, and meaning in unfamiliar territories. \nThe series is free and open to the public. All screenings are followed by panel discussions meant to bring together filmmakers\, scholars\, activists\, policy makers\, and community representatives concerned with the fortification of immigrant rights. \n____________________________________________________________________________ \n\nEN EL SEPTIMO DIA (Jim McKay\, USA\, 2018\, 92 min. In Spanish with English subtitles) \nEn el Séptimo Día is a fiction feature following a group of undocumented immigrants living in Sunset Park\, Brooklyn over the course of seven days. Bicycle delivery guys\, construction workers\, dishwashers\, deli workers\, and cotton candy vendors\, they work long hours six days a week and then savor their day of rest on Sundays on the soccer fields of Sunset Park. José\, a bicycle delivery worker\, is the team’s captain – young\, talented\, hardworking and responsible. When José’s team makes it to the finals\, he and his teammates are thrilled. But his boss throws a wrench into the celebration when he tells José he has to work on Sunday\, the day of the finals. José tries to reason with his boss or replace himself\, but his efforts fail. If he doesn’t work on Sunday\, his job and his future will be on the line. But if he doesn’t stand up for himself and his teammates\, his dignity will be crushed. Shot in the neighborhoods of Sunset Park\, Park Slope\, and Gowanus\, En el Séptimo Día is a humane\, sensitive\, and humorous window into a world rarely seen. The film’s impact is made quietly\, with restraint and respect for the individual experiences\, everyday challenges\, and small triumphs of its characters. \n\nTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYg3mAJTWSE \n\nAbout the Director: \nJim McKay (Writer/Director/Producer) is a filmmaker and co-founder\, along with Michael Stipe\, of C-Hundred Film Corp.
