Studious, sweet-natured 15-year-old Yolanda feels the pressure to succeed under the eyes of her hard-working immigrant parents. When she meets her new neighbor, the feisty and alluring, BMX-riding Mari, Yolanda’s humdrum high school routine gets a jolt.

In Person
Director Jacaranda Correa
Harkins Tucson Spectrum 18 Theater / FREE
Co-Presented by Cine Mexico and in association with Ambulante, Mexico. This screening is made possible with support from the UA Gender & Women's Studies Department Anti-Racism Task Force.
Morir de Pie (Die Standing Up)

Where most saw defeat, socialist activist Irina Layevska saw a call to action; it was now or never, and her body is her first site of revolution. Morir de Pie is the inspiring story of this tireless fighter in the war for personal freedoms, who continues to work for progressive causes from her wheelchair despite a severe disability. Born into a male body, Irina grew up idolizing Che Guevara and spent much of her young life fighting in the Cuban solidarity movement. It’s also the love story of Irina and her partner Nelida, whom she married as a man. Nelida has committed herself to understanding her feelings towards her partner’s disability and massive life changes.

My Best Day

(Erin Greenwell, 2012)
The Loft Cinema

Karen can’t believe that she has to work her receptionist gig on a gorgeous Fourth of July. Then a call comes from her long-lost father. Enlisting her janitor friend Meagan to help, Karen investigates her father’s trailer park home. She stumbles across a half-sister addicted to betting, a half-brother tortured by grade school bullies, a sketchy but charming buddy “just sleeping on the couch” and a potential lover in jail. Meanwhile, Meagan must decide between the stability of her longtime girlfriend and the thrill of a new love. With a small town like this, Karen’s own journey sets in motion a crazy chain of events that will change not just her but this one small town forever.
