  • Sistah Sinema: Margarita The Movie & Brazos Largos

    hqdefaultBrazos Largos (9 mins)

    This auto-ethnography by trans Latino filmmaker Migueltzinta Solis, details the nomadic consanguinity of landscape, faith and matrilineal histories innate to their Mexican migrant identity. Brazos Largos is about the relationship between the filmmaker and his grandmother and her history as a Mexican immigrant and his relationship to her.

    Margarita The Movie (90 mins)

    In the guise of a family drama, Margarita looks, through the eyes of a hard-working illegal, at social injustice as it relates to class, race and immigration policy. With warmth, humour, and candour, Margarita also tells the story of the disillusionment, resentment and alienation that inhabit the margins of our closest relationships.

    The Latina has a passion for life and people. She throws groovy hot tub parties for a posse of outrageous friends and flirts mercilessly with hunky Brazilian handyman Carlos who clearly worships the ground she walks on. But, she’s already in love. The object of her desire is Jane, a shy, commitment-phobic law student, who, although she clearly loves Margarita, is hesitant to bring their relationship out of the shadows.
