FRIDA

Emmy-nominated editor and first-time feature director Carla Gutiérrez takes the unusual lstep of using the iconic twentieth-century Mexican artist Frida Khalo’s own words, gleaned from diaries, letters, interviews, and other sources. Mixing lyrical animation of Kahlo’s influential works with expressive voice-over by several artists, Frida is a definitive film. “If you only see one filmic piece about Kahlo, this may be the one that presents the most complete overview of both the biographical highlights and her multifaceted persona behind closed doors,” – Variety.

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director and editor Carla Gutiérrez, producer Katia Maguire, and supervising editor David Teague.
