Program<\/strong><\/p>\n

ORIANA
\n2023, Puerto Rico, 78 minutes
\nIn Spanish with English subtitles, Format: DCP<\/p>\n

Beatriz Santiago Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s (MFA 1997) films explore the physical and symbolic stories of the Caribbean. In ORIANA, a band of feminist warriors takes refuge in a verdant Puerto Rican landscape. Set in the wake of Hurricane Maria and featuring performances by a group of San Juan\u2013based artists and activists, the film takes inspiration from French writer and theorist Monique Wittig\u2019s radical\u00a0 1969 novel\u00a0Les Gu\u00e9rill\u00e8res. As Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s characters move through forests, abandoned industrial sites, and colonial ruins, ORIANA visualizes the possibilities for creating a decolonial and feminist world.<\/p>\n

GOSILA
\n2018, Puerto Rico, 10 minutes
\nIn Spanish with English subtitles, Format: DCP<\/p>\n

A film about disorder, sense-making from the ground up, slowness, and the work in the days after a hurricane.<\/p>\n
