Last Year, the SDLFF started a new tradition of inviting an acclaimed filmmaker to be our "Guest Director." This individual will curate a sidebar of three films that have influenced his/her career in a profound way. This year's Guest Director is the acclaimed Mexican filmmaker, Luis Mandoki. Don't miss this amazing opportunity to meet Luis Mandoki and see the classic films that he has chosen to screen at the 2005 San Diego Latino Film Festival.

TIEIHCTOR'SCHAil:WISMMIDOIII As one of the first Mexican directors of the currenr generation to break inco Holly-wood in the late 80s, Luis Mandok i helped open the door for other cineasces from south of the border to rea lize their visions in the US film industry . His first film, Gaby: A True Story (1987 ), received nominatons for both the Oscars and the Golden Globes. In the ensu ing nvo decades, Luis Mandoki has worked with such stars as Andy Garcia, Jennifer Lopez, Paul Kewman, Meg Ryan, Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon, Kevin Bacon. James Spader and Charlize Theron. His films include Whit.e Palace (1990 ), When a Man L oves a Woman (1994), Message ma Bottle (1999 ), Angel Eyes (2001 ) and Trapped (2002) . His latest feature, the remarkable Voces Inocentes, is Mandoki's first Spanish-language film in more than 15 years. We were curious co know which 6lms influenced him. So we asked Luis Mandoki ro select three films which he felr changed his life and to tell us why. These are the three films he chose. All three will be screened as part of the 2005 San Diego Latino Film Festival GIBT DIRfCTOR: LIASMAJ'llOKI

THEBmt.EOfAUBS (1965) 1 saw Battle of Algiers first, and it was a movie that really impressed me, because ir was a true story, and it was just so real and it involves a child as well. And so, for me ir brought the same feeling of strength and compassion and what people go through. And you're thrown imo a reality, io the way it's shot, in the way it's done, and che absurdities of war that they are all living in. And so it shook me, because I didn't know about chat reality, and it brought me into it in a very human unhollywood way. I think I was sixteen or seventeeen.

THEHUMAN CONIIITION: NOGIDilR LOVE (1958) A few months larer I saw The Human Condition, which is not about children, bur it's abour soldiers in the middle of a war, and what I loved abour it is rbar you see them also in the moments of battJe, and you see rhem in the momems in berween the battles.

And you see how war, which is an extreme state of ljfe, brings out the best and the worst of people. And so, in a way it makes you realize that when you're not living in those extreme stares we go to sleep, and we forget what's precious abour life. And many times comfortable life makes you go into a state of anaesthesia. I'm nor saying we should live in rimes of war to bring that out, but that we THE BATTLE OFALGIERS : should always be aware that death is around the comer, and so we should make the best SUNDAY , MARCH 20, 4:00PM out of every moment.

ROCCO MD IDSBROTI161S (1960) You know, it's interesting, because I saw it many years ago, and I haven't seen it since. So I don't know a lot of details about it. But I do know chat it was a movie that had a lot of impact on me because it deals with the struggle of a family in difficult circumstances, the relationships within the family, and it's a complex movie that deals with the love and also the pain and the conflict. And so I remember rhat it touched me deeply, because there's very few movies which deal so deeply and so honestly with family issues in different circum stances. I think neoreahsm is Yery close to Mexico . The obvious neorealisric movies like Bicycle Thief and Milagro en Milan, but rhis movie is .. .I don'r know why it's nor so wellknown . And yes it could almost take place in Mexico, the same story, the same characters, except they're a little louder than the Italians.

Si Dolores no es una gran accriz, si es una presencia unica, y el camar6grafo Gabriel Figueroa capca con vigor y delicadeza las cualidades de su rostro. En la etapa del nacionalismo cultui-al, Dolores emblematiza las facciones de la mexicana ideal.

1944 En Maria Candelaria, Dolores alcanza su plenitud simb6lica. Las deficiencias del film son inocultables, los dialogos son

Es una Es.trella, distanciada de lo cocidiano por el abismo de las obligacmnes excentricas: mas horas de sueno, diecas rigurosas, sesiones exhauscivas con modistos, sombrereros y fot6grafos (una foto aprobada es el suplicio que se vuelve estampa sacra).

ridfculos y aucoparodicos, el enfasis en el melodrama es burdo, }.no se logra trascender las fallas por la sola \'la esrecica.

El glamollr lo es rodo, }' el glamour es la sabiduria del conjumo en donde panic1pan e! cuerpo y el rostro, la ropa y la hazaiia de volverla segunda piel, la expresi6n de abandono y el gesto de enrrega que la buena educacion vigila.

Luego de ser por aiios si'mbolo de lo mexicano en el ex:tranjero, Dolores es ya una de las formas nacionales de la reivindicaci6n.

1962 1937 En un boudoir como estuche edenico, a pumo de encender un cigarrillo, Dolores se situa ame el espejo. El ro.stro que contempla el rostro delata el placer del que arrapa a ese animal magnifico, una estrella de cine.

Debido a la inminencia de la guerra, "lo primicivo" ya no imeresa, y "lo ex6tico", la felicidad porque si, resulta un fruto innecesario. El glamour no desaparece, pero se desvanecea casi rodos sus rasgos sacramencales.

A los 10 afios de estar en Holl ywood ha

triunfado, ha sobrevivido a las otras latinas ardiemes, ha filmado peliculas malas y regulares y, con exaccicud de coleccionista, ha selecciona.do a sus amigos, actores, directores, fot6grafos, modiscas, maquilliscas, bacas finisimas, sombreros como halos, autom6viles como e.sculcuras de la velocidad.

En la distribucion de tareas del "Star System", a Dolores, ya sin rivales, se le adj udica la fiereza y el esplendor <le lo latino. Es la Beauciful Senorita yes Lady from Spain, es la nativa arrebaradora que se detiene en la pose culminante, es el gozo candido ame la cimara.

En Hollywood las posibilidades se agorao y es el momento de volver a J\.·lexico. de poner al dia los requerimientos de una Diosa de la Paatalla.

Ocasionalmente, Dolores filma para el cine norreamericano y el icaliano .

Con Elvis Presley, toda.vfa noun mito, ya una revoluci6n en el comportamiento, filma Flaming Star, donde es la madre india de un "half-breed". Y con John Ford filma. Otoim Apache.

Para el cine mexicano trabaja en varias peli'culas mas o menos lamencables. Hace reatro, y se niega a la.s evocaciones o a la redacci6n de sus memorias.

By Colin Gunckel She embodies and transcends supeTlath·es: The Mother of Mexico. Epitome of urbanity and cosmopolitan chic.

Hollywood's vision of exotic femininity. The i.deal woman. The female Valentino. Pinnacle of earthly beauty.

Dolores del Rfo has always elicited extreme , and even contradictory reac tions. Her stardom crossed national borders and spanned six decades. The San Diego Latino Film Festival's presentation of her films offers a glimpse into her complexity as an actress , the range of her talent, the inability to define and categorize her, and the .inadequacy of words to des.cribe her presence on screen.

In 1904, she was born to an aristocratic family in Durango. Del Rio was 21 and performing in a dance recital when she instantly captivated the vacationing Hollywood director Edwin Carewe. E venrualJy he cast her in such silent films as Rmrwna ( 1928) and Evangeline ( 1929).

Carewe also helped Del Rio craft a persona that she would cultivate into the 1930s; a curious blend between per formances that exuded an exo tic, primal sensuality and a public life that cast her as the height of modem elegance and sophistication.

1983 En 1942 a Dolores se le ofrece el papel principal en Flor Silvestre, que dirige un antiguo extra de Hollywood, Emilio "el Indio" Fernandez, con un tema a la medida de dos estrellas filmicas: la pareja en la Revolucion Mexicana, la epica observada desde el nicho del amor enloquecido. En Flor Silvestre, Dolores encuentra a su compaiiero ideal, Pedro Armendariz, recio y viril, de aposmra notable.

La enfermedad la vence y eHa se retira para que la memoria detenga su imagen para siempre en el punco mas refulgente.

Mexican writer and social commentator Carlos Monsivais writes and lectures extensivel-y on Latin American culture, society and cinema.

Hollywood's fascination with ethnicity during this period -Latin lovers, jungle films, and blackface perlormance pushed her into a succession of roles that emphasized her "otherness": She was cast as the Mexican cantina girl Girl of the Rio (1932), the Russian peasant Resurrection {1927}, the gypsy Revenge (1928), the island princess Bird of Paradise (1932), and the Parisian tango dancer Wonder Bar (1934).

Faced with an increasing scarcity of qual ity roles in Hollywood (and following a stormy romance with Orson Welles), Del Rio returned to Mexico in 1942 and joined a burgeoning Mexican film industry. Achieving fame in nationalist melodramas directed by Emilio Fernandez and photographed by Gabriel Figueroa, her screen persona underwent an abrupt transformation to win over an initially skeptic.al Mexican public.

In films like Flor Sil vestre (1943) and Maria Candelaria (1944), Del Rfo shed both her elegance and alluring sexuality to portray a hwnble peasant , a tragically self-sacrificial embodiment of ideal femininity: the symbolic mother of a post -revolutionary Mexico. Such roles immediately enshrined her as a legend, and created an indelible cinematic vision of a national mythology.

Dolores del Rio, along with actors including Pedro Infante, Cantinflas , Pedro Armendariz . and Maria Felix became synonymous with the Golden Age of Mexican cinema .

By the late I 950's. as the Mexican film industry spiraled into decline and chronic crisis, Del Ri'o performed in fewer films and eventually resumed a career in Hollywood. as did many of her compatriots.

Del Rfo died in 1983, having enjoyed a length) ' and diverse career. Somehow embodying aU the adjectives nsed to describe her persona and career, she ultimately transcends them; this persistence of the ineffable fuels the devotion of fans on both sides of the border, and ensures the allegiance of future generations to the cult of Dolores.

CnenSalinas and Danny Trejo The San Diego Latino Film Festival is honored to celebrate the careers of the following individuals who have greatly influenced Latino Cinema and television. Please join us at this year's festival in spotlighting the important work they all have done in promoting a more positive and accurate portrayal of Latinos in front and behind the camera!

DNYlHEJO He's made a career out of playmg criminals, appearing as a fierce bad-ass in films such as Con Arr, From Dusk till Dawn, Heat. Bur before Danny Trejo started playing bad guys, he was one.

Crimes including armed robbery and drug charges put Trejo behind bars, in his words, in "every penitentiary in the stare of California" for 11 years. While serving time, he became a boxing champ at San Quentin.

When he got out, in 1985, he decided to turn his life around and give up drugs and alcohol . He was on a movie set, visiting a friend dur ing a prison scene, when he was approached with an offer that put him on a new course.

• it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard . I'd been in Soledad, San Quentin, Folson, Vacaville, Susanville, Sierra - and nere's a guy asking 'Can you act like a convict?' I remember I said, 'I'll give it a shot'· It was the start of a new life on the screen . Since then, Trejo has appeared in over 90 feature films including Spy Kids and Once Upon a Time in Mexico and 17 tele.,ision shows ("NYPD Blue," "X" files, "Alias," "'Monk .")

He'll be a special guest at the San Diego foe the Latino Film Festival premiere of CHAMPION, a new documentary offering an intima te view imo Trejo>s life, starting with his troubled child hood in Echo Park through to his

tum-around.

Though he's best known for playing villains ·and thugs, roday he volunteers to talk to school kids about the dead-end life that cost him years behind bars.

Dan11y Treio in person! Sat.urday, March 12, 8:00 pm at rhe premiere of Champion .

She's a versatile actress who,s won the hearts of critics and audiences for her roles in television, film and theater during a career that's spanned 50 years and earned her many of Mexico's top acting honors.

Carmen Salinas is best known ro for eign audiences for her recent feature film roles appearing tbe gritty Mexican hit Todo el Poder {1999 ) and most recently in Man on Fire (USA 2003) starring Denzel Washington.

Born in Torreon, Coahuila, Salinas got her stan as a singer at local festivals where she charmed crowds who threw coins at her feet. She went on to achieve modest success in her hometown on live radio and local television. In the 1950s, Salinas moved to Mexico City to build her career from the ground up, starting with bit parts in variety shows. le was 1964 when she lande d her first

role in a Mexican soap opera, La Vecindad, and her career took off. Just five years later, Salinas had her film debm in the feature film La Vida Jnutil de Pito Perez (The Useless Life of Pito Perez). Her acting earned Salinas her first nomination for a coveted Diosa de Plara award.

Ac the end of 1994 , she appeared on stage in "Cada Quien su Vida" ("'To Each His Own Life") and in 1995, earned all the majo r prizes given co an actress in :'vlexican cheater. Salinas marked her 50th year as an actress in 2003 , receiving numerous accolades and honors.

Today, Mexican audiences know and love her both as a soap and movie queen, and as an acrress, producer and director of Mexico's favorite long -running £heater show "Avenrurera".

Carmen Salinas in person! Friday, Morch 11, 7:00 pm at the premiere of Satrtos Peregrinos.

iPreparense! ... Get Ready for PBS' New Bilingual, Animated Children's Show

Each performance sets the stage for a stronger community.

Make way for Maya & Miguel, the 10-year -old Latino twins whose bilingual animated aventuras are lending Latino sabor to PBS television.

Each episode of the new half-hour comedy presents the jchevere! (cool!) duo speaking Spanish and English as they introduce an elementary school-age audience to a vibrant portrayal of Latino familia, language and cultura.

The performing arts do more than entertain.

They inspire us and teach us. They encourage us to grow as individuals and as communities.

Funny and often outrageous, the show revolves around Maya's weU-intended meddling in the lives of her family and friends. She's consrandy dreaming up "Big Ideas" and roping Miguel into her schemes.

Maya and Miguel live with their Mexican immigrant Mama and Puerto Rican-born Papi who run a neighborhood pet store. Abuela Elena, their grand.mother, lives next door and keeps the family grounded in tradition. living upstairs are Tio Ernesto, Tia Teresa and cousin Tito, recent immigrants from Mexico who are learning English.

In the towns and cities we serve across America, We see the difference the arts can make in every community.

That's why Bank of America supports performing arts where our customers and associates live and work.

Along the way, the nvins' escapades involve their gang of multicultural friends - the cautious Afro-Dominican Chrissy and the outspoken Chinese-American Maggie. Theo is an Afro -American brainiac and Caucasian sports fanatic Andy brings an understanding of how physically-challenged kids want to be treated just like everyone else.

We are especially proud to support the Twelfth Annual San Diego Latino Film Festival!

A seasoned casr of actors lend their talents as the voices for the series. Candi Milo (Chalk Zone, Jimmy

Neutron) is the voice of Maya and Nika Futterman (PBS KIDS' fakers!, The Adventures of Piggie)' Winks). provide the voice for Miguel.

Erik Estrada is heard as the neighborhood mailman, Senor Felipe, while Carlos AJazraqui (Mucha Lucha, The Fairly OddParents, SpongeBob Squarepants) gives voice to the family's bilingual pet parrot Paco . In addition, Lucy Liu (Charlie's Angels, Ally McBeal) provides the voice of Maggie.
