Join the Center for Latin American Studies, Columbus State Community College, The City University of New York, and the Spanish and Portuguese Club for the fifth screening of the 2024 Latin American Film Festival. This year's theme is Liberation.
The fifth film, Alice Júnior (Brazil, 2019), tells the story of a carefree, spoiled trans YouTuber with everything she could ask for: an apartment in a cool beach town, a loving dad, her own advice vlog, an almost-win on Teen Top Model, and a cat named Rhinoceros. So, when her father announces their move from the vibrant Brazilian city of Recife to a small, conservative town in the south and to an old-fashioned catholic school, Alice has to prepare herself for the prudery and small-mindedness she will confront there. Register to stream the film from October 1 through October 8.
Following the screening of the film, please join Dr. Mollie Blackburn, Professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning, and Vitor Vilaverde, for a discussion and Q&A about the movie.
