Perpetual Motion: The Films of Nicolás Pereda

Pacific Cinémathèque presents a retrospective of the films of Nicolás Pereda, a young, emerging Mexican director with a fast-accumulating body of work, a growing international reputation -- and a major Canadian connection. Born in Mexico City in 1982, Pereda holds dual Mexican and Canadian citizenship and is a resident of Toronto, where he studied filmmaking at York University. His meticulous, minimalist, deadpan films, shot in Mexico and resolutely Mexican in their intimate attention to class, culture, social structure, and family relations in Mexican society, have been financed with both Mexican and Canadian money. They also showcase the director's extraordinary collaboration with actors Teresa Sánchez and Gabino Rodríguez, who, in each of the director's four dramatic features to date, have played versions of a mother and son struggling with the kitchen-sink realities of working-class life in contemporary Mexico. Films screening through Sept. 26.
