AFI Latin American Film Festival 2009

This special FREE advance screening will include Episodes One and Four from the four-part PBS mini-series:

Episode One: BRIDGES Traces the rise of Latin jazz and the explosion of the mambo and the cha cha chá as they sweep the US, infiltrating R&B during the 1960s. DIR Daniel McCabe. US/UK, 2009, 60 min.

Episode Four: DIVAS AND SUPERSTARS Focuses on the Latin pop explosion in the late ‘90s. As studios concentrate on star-driven pop, Latino youth gravitate toward urban fusions—Spanish rap and reggaeton, as well as rock en Español. DIR Adriana Bosch. US/UK, 2009, 60 min.

Special Guest: Director Adriana Bosch
