“What! You too?”: Friendship on Film
One prerequisite for emotional connection is shared experience, and this year’s selection of films features characters who enjoy friendships based as much on mutual affection as the serendipity of being in the right place at the right time for one another. Things might not always go as planned, but making friends, keeping them, and sometimes parting ways—there’s little more human than that.
The series presents a film on the second Sunday of every month during the academic year. This month's film is listed below:
Mosquita y Marí - Directed by Aurora Guerrero - Indigenous North America - 2012 - 1h 25m
A coming of age story that focuses on a tender friendship between two young Chicanas. Yolanda and Mari are growing up in Huntington Park, LA and have only known loyalty to one thing: family. When Mari moves across the street from Yolanda, they maintain their usual life routine until an incident at school thrusts them and their friendship into an unknown territory.
