Poster for Maestra

2023 · ★ 0.0 (0)

'Maestra' looks at what happens when women come together - the extraordinary. In March 2022, fourteen women gathered in Paris to show the world the singular talent that unites them and which, for far too long, has been considered the pursuit of only men. Mothers, daughters, rebels, leaders - over four days, each took to the stage to compete in 'La Maestra', the only competition in the world for female conductors. A mother of twin toddlers from Athens, determined to show her kids anything is possible, a Ukrainian doing all she can to focus on her art and the competition in front of her while Russia invades, a Polish student just starting out, and a French immigrant returning to the city that closed its doors to her many years ago. Personal stories of survival, passion and perseverance are woven together with the drama and excitement of this one of a kind event created to break yet another glass ceiling for women.

Poster for Gounod: Faust

2011 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Tenor Jonas Kaufmann is riveting as the title character of Gounod’s popular opera, seen in this Live in HD presentation of Des McAnuff’s thrilling 2011 production that places the mythical and timeless story in an early 20th-century setting. René Pape as Méphistophélès is menacing and elegant in equal measure, and Marina Poplavskaya delivers a searingly intense portrayal of the innocent Marguerite. Russell Braun as her brother, Valentin, shines in his Act II aria. On the podium, Yannick Nézet-Séguin brings out all the lyricism and drama of Gounod’s score.

Chilean documentary that records a demonstration organized by the collective Women for Life (Mujeres por la Vida), held on August 29, 1988, in Paseo Ahumada in Santiago. During this public intervention, a thousand life-size black silhouettes were placed throughout the street as a symbolic memorial to the victims of repression during the military regime of Augusto Pinochet. The action sought to make visible the detained and disappeared, exiles, political prisoners, and all those affected by political violence in Chile at a time when many of these realities were still being silenced. Through the documentation of the protest, the film captures the collective’s call to remember and to keep historical memory alive, while the demonstration is eventually met with violent police repression.
