100% VENEZUELA: VENEZUELAN FILM FESTIVAL
Thursday, September 21 – Sunday, September 24

100% VENEZUELA will show 14 films from the South American oil-exporting country. Presented by NYU's King Juan Carlos Center, Department of Spanish and Portuguese and Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, the Festival focuses on the violence that has characterized Venezuelan cinema through its history, exhibiting classic films from the 80´s and 90´s, and the most recent productions of Venezuelan filmography.  100% VENEZUELA wants to trace a history of violence in this very polemic Latin-American country. Solveig Hoogesteijn, Diego Rísquez and Alfredo Anzola, among other important Venezuelan filmmakers, will attend the screenings and participate in a symposium. Curated by Javier Guerrero, NYU Department of Spanish and Portuguese. For more information, please log on http://www.nyu.edu/kjc
