Special IMAX Screening of Mexico

Running time: N/A

Academy Award nominated director/producer, Lorena Parlee, offers a rich and insightful journey into the magnificence and power that is the country of Mexico--"a country ancient and new, eternally called upon by the past and the future, the traditional and the modern, but capable in exceptional moment of [its] history of facing both." Using texts from Mexican novelist, Carlos Fuentes, and ancient Aztec and Mayan poetry and accompanied by an exhilarating musical score by Daniel Valdez, Mexico's culture and history are marvelously brought to life with visual testimonies of the past and current celebrations of age-old traditions, such as the Day of the Dead.
