OCTUBRE
Peruvian films are a growing presence at international film festivals, and Octubre is an excellent example of why this is so. Winner of the 2010 Jury Prize of the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes, this film from brothers Daniel and Diego Vega (The Milk of Sorrow) is an enchanting tale of two misfits that speaks to the richness of the human soul with humor and tender grace. $6/Members, $10/Public at the door.

NOT IN OUR TOWN: LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
Cinema Arts Centre & Long Island School of the Americas Watch (LI SOA Watch) present a documentary about a town coming together to take action after anti-immigrant violence devastates the community with the murder of Ecuadorian immigrant Marcelo Lucero in Patchogue, screening with a panel discussion and reception, on Sunday, December 11 at 1pm at Cinema Arts Centre, 423 Park Ave, Huntington. 631-423-7611 www.CinemaArtsCentre.org. Admission is free (Film + Discussion) Followed by Reception: $5 Donation
Guest speakers will be Joselo Lucero, brother of Marcelo Lucero; Luis Valenzuela, Executive Director, LI Immigrant Alliance; Pat Young, Attorney with CARECEN and Hofstra Law School professor; Bill McNulty, LI SOA Watch Suffolk Coordinator; and Mara Bard, LI SOA Watch Nassau Coordinator.
Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness is a one-hour documentary about a town coming together to take action after anti-immigrant violence devastates the community. In 2008, a series of attacks against Latino residents of Patchogue, New York, culminate with the murder of Marcelo Lucero, an Ecuadorian immigrant who had lived in the Long Island village for 13 years.
Documentaries like this allow us to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes, to see the world from their perspective and can be a key catalytic factor in the promotion of the change in attitudes, feelings and policies.
While hate violence makes headlines, the positive actions of people across the country are creating a different story. They are part of a movement called Not In Our Town.
Thanks & regards,
Susan
