The exile: Latin American Film Festival

In the time of Pinochet, a hapless math teacher becomes the victim of a political witch hunt when he signs a petition to support a fellow colleague. He is exiled to a small village of outcasts located in a remote island. The village has a history of tidal waves along with an overall washed up feeling, which posits a metaphorical link between the forces of nature and those of political repression.

The Palmerston North City Library & Massey University School of Language Studies, presents this years Latin American Film Festival showcasing award winning films from Chile, Mexico, Uruguay and Argentina.

6 award-winning films. In Spanish with English subtitles.

Exhibitions

'Paintings from the human archive' - new paintings by Kirsty Porter.

Painted from photographs from her past, Kirsty examines the nature of memory - does she remember the event or does she remember the photograph? A crystalline ooze appears in throughout the paintings, drawing our attention to the potent life force of each scenario.

April 24 - May 11,
