Videoteca del Sur presents:

VENEZUELA, FEBRERO 27
Dir.: Liliana Blaser /  VENEZUELA / 1991 / 30’

In February 1989, barely into his second term, Venezuelas President Carlos Andres Pérez faced a popular uprising, which he had the army crush with a death toll of 276, according to government officials. It is known as the "caracazo" where the rioting and looting was on an unforeseen scale. This documentary wants to describe the facts and searches for motiviations and future significations.

AL OTRO LADO
Dir.: Natalia Almada EE.UU. 65’

AL OTRO LADO follows three musicians who journey from the drug capital of Mexico to the USA singing songs about immigration and drugs. From the mountains of Sinaloa, Mexico where opium and marijuana grow in abundance to the Sea of Cortez where the contraband is trafficked to the "gringos," we will look at the economic crisis that forces so many to turn to drug trafficking or to risk their lives crossing the border illegally into the United States.

Videoteca del Sur is an unique institution in order to produce, promote and distribute latin american films and videos.

Every Wednesday at 7 p.m. 

Location: Casa de los Tres Mundos.
