Cristiano – Thursday, June 20
La acampada – Monday, June 24
El Dance Off – Thursday, June 27
This online film series focuses on different stories that bring us closer to the everyday lives of children and young people of different status and backgrounds, who face life from a starting position dominated by questioning and difficulties in their definition of gender.
The different formats and genres presented in this program also speak of the narrative and aesthetic richness of this monographic thematic cinema that allows its authors to address the social vulnerability and the hard search for identity that is always present during this period in the life of every person, and especially in those who defy normativity.

Cocodrilo
Jorge Yúdice’s career as a director took a surprising leap forward with Cocodrilo, which was selected for the Berlinale and received an excellent reception at multiple festivals and screenings. The subtlety with which a past story is told and the way in which his characters communicate shows the drive of a great screenwriter whose first feature film is already awaited.
Alicia, like every afternoon, makes herself a cup of tea and watches her favorite YouTube channel: VictorGaming, dedicated to action role-playing video games. Victor, the youtuber, broadcasts today a live stream where fans can ask him questions. Alicia has something very important to tell him.
Screening: Cocodrilo; Director/s: Jorge Yúdice; Year: 2019; Format: Digital; Running time: 5 min; Genre: Fiction; Country: Spain; Original version: español; Subtitles: English, French. Portuges, Italian; Rated: TP
*****

Elsa
Disney’s imaginary serves the director and actor Albert Carbó to talk about transgender children through his own production company, which he created to work on social issues that help to mediate and make their realities visible in a complex way.
Elsa is a six-year-old girl who, like anyone her age, wants to live happily and freely. She knows she is different from the majority, but despite her young age she is clear about things: she knows she is a girl and that she is the queen of her life.
Screening: Elsa; Director: Albert Carbó; Year: 2021; Format: Digital; Running time: 12 min; Genre: Fiction; Country: Spain; Original version: catalán; Subtitles: English, French. Portuges, Italian; Rated: TP
*****

El rey de las flores
The first short film by actor and director Alberto Velasco offers a double look at tradition, which is posed as a place that can welcome everyone or reject them decisively. The story of Victor, the center of the narrative, grows as does his inner rage and, in doing so, the director starts from an imaginary of joy and nature to arrive at a somber place of closure.
Victor, ten years old, loves popular folklore. He already knows what it means that what you like most in the world, which in his case is dancing, is what hurts you the most. His mother works tirelessly and also takes care of his bedridden stepfather day and night, but with a lively, sharp and hurtful tongue every time Victor comes through the door. When Victor dances, he transforms, laughs, dreams and escapes from the reality at home. What he could never imagine is that the same violence he received would be his own salvation.
Screening: El rey de las flores; Director: Alberto Velasco; Year: 2021; Format: Digital; Running time: 13 min; Genre: Fiction; Country: Spain; Original version: español; Subtitles: English, French. Portuges, Italian; Rated: +16

17 minutos con Nora
The name Nora is indisputably linked to Henrik Ibsen’s play A Doll’s House, where the whole inner world of women subjected to an external and oppressive law is revealed. Taking this reference as a clear evocation and with Lucas Hnath’s re-reading, this short film by director Imanol Ruiz de Lara leads to a long-delayed conversation between a father and a son, in which all the humanity that is always behind the sudden understanding of the other is condensed.
Nora is nervous because the next day she is performing in a play at her high school, but the insults of her classmates at the door of her house cause her to face something more important to her: that her father accepts her as she is. In seventeen minutes the relationship between the two will change forever.
Screening: 17 minutos con Nora; Director: Imanol Ruiz de Lara; Year: 2021; Format: Digital; Running time: 18 min; Genre: Fiction; Country: Spain; Original version: español; Subtitles: English, French. Portuges, Italian; Rated: +12
*****

Cristiano
Comedy is a genre that always surprises us because it highlights characteristics of reality that we would not always call laughable. In this interpretative duel between Nacho Guerreros and Iván Vigara, the terrain is even more slippery as it is a debate that moves from the theological to the personal.
Cristiano is a devout young man who wants to be trained in the seminary to become a Catholic priest, with the surprise that the interviewer responsible for vocations is the former priest of his village, Avelino, an unconventional priest who defines himself as a “modern man”. Just before Avelino approves his enrollment in the seminary, Cristiano confesses his most intimate secret, a secret that will determine whether or not he will be able to become a priest.
Screening: Cristiano; Director/s: Adán Pichardo; Year: 2021; Format: Digital; Running time: 11 min; Genre: Fiction; Country: Spain; Original version: español; Subtitles: English, French. Portuges, Italian; Rated: +12
******

La acampada
The social emergence of issues related to mental health shows how these types of conditions, which have always been erased from the public agenda, have come to light to demystify their nature and make their problematic nature evident. This short film – supported by Indetectables, the project of the NGO Apoyo Positivo, which focuses on sexual health and the fight against discrimination of the LGTBIQ+ collective – shows us, through the eyes of a minor who has to take care of his mother, how this is a problem that plagues many adolescents.
Two days in the life of a trans adolescent boy and his sick mother. It is an intimate portrait of a single-parent family, mental illness and caregiving.
Screening: La acampada; Director/s: Afioco Gnecco y Enrique Cervantes; Year: 2022; Format: Digital; Running time: 22 min; Genre: Fiction; Country: Spain; Original version: español; Subtitles: English, French. Portuges, Italian; Rated: SC
*****

El Dance Off
Filmed in Chacomús (Argentina), this short film is offered as a love letter to Latin American queer culture and magical realism, which is so closely linked to the idiosyncrasies of this territory. The way in which the characters suffer the patriarchal tradition, so tinged with intransigence and dogmatism, is transgressed in this story that breaks with the expectations of its own generic code.
At a silent gas station on the outskirts of a rural town, young Ernesto dreams of becoming a dancer. It is not until his magical dance-off with a desolate drag queen that the boy discovers the courage to make his dreams a reality.
Screening: El Dance Off; Director: Nicolás Keller Sarmiento; Year: 2023; Format: Digital; Running time: 13 min; Genre: Fiction; Country: Argentina; Original version: español; Subtitles: English, French. Portuges, Italian; Rated: SC

STREET HEROINES  is an award-winning feature-length documentary celebrating the courage and creativity of women who despite their lack of recognition have been an integral part of the graffiti and street art movement since the beginning. With authentic vérité storytelling woven between an interview-driven narrative, STREET HEROINES  juxtaposes the personal experiences of three emerging Latina artists from New York City, Mexico City, and São Paulo as they navigate a male-dominated subculture to establish artistic identities within chaotic urban landscapes.
Toofly, born in Ecuador and raised in Queens, NY, is determined to use her art to help others and embarks on a journey that leads her back to Ecuador after establishing a unique friendship with the first female of graffiti, Lady Pink. Fusca, a talented painter who moved to Mexico City inspired by its embrace of muralism, becomes dismayed by the machinations behind the urban art scene and is forced to reanalyze her passion. In the concrete jungle of São Paulo, Brazil Magrela expresses her feelings on the complexities of being a woman through vibrant colors and radical imagery painted across city walls only to one day be confronted by the very authorities that make her feel unwanted in the public space. Combined with historical anecdotes from pioneering artists including Lady Pink, Swoon, Lady Aiko, Nina Pandolfo and iconic graffiti photographer Martha Cooper, among others, Street Heroines is the first-of-its-kind documentary to capture the collective outcry of female street artists.

NHCC | Wells Fargo Auditorium

Join us for a panel discussion with Filmmaker Ray Santisteban and Black Panther activist Aaron Dixon.
The First Rainbow Coalition, Directed & Produced by Ray Santisteban, charts the history and legacy of a groundbreaking multi-ethnic coalition that rocked Chicago in the 1960s. Comprised of activists from the Black Panthers, the Young Patriots (southern whites), and the Young Lords (a former Puerto Rican street gang), Chicago’s Rainbow Coalition (1969-1971) united poor Blacks, Whites, and Latinos to openly challenge police brutality and substandard housing in one of the most segregated cities in America.
Bridging past and present, The First Rainbow Coalition examines the legacy of the Rainbow Coalition, exploring how contemporary problems that displace the poor in urban areas, such as gentrification and the relationship between the police and poor and minority communities, are fundamentally linked to the defining issues around which the Rainbow Coalition was organized. A thought-provoking film that sparks new dialogue about the 1960s, The First Rainbow Coalition provides an unparalleled platform for contemporary discussions on race and class in an increasingly divided United States.

NM Gay Men’s Chorus: ¡Orgullo! A Latinx Pride Celebration

New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus and National Hispanic Cultural Center celebrate Pride with a Latinx flair! Orgullo! A Latinx Pride Celebration showcases the culture and passion of the Latinx community. New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus and special guests, in partnership with NHCC, will present a Pride performance sure to be muy caliente!
Orgullo! A Latinx Pride Celebration will feature Latinx artists and put a spotlight on the people who have always been a part of the LGBTQ+ community by exploring traditional Latinx music and dance with LGBTQ+ twists. For example: this performance may feature a Flamenco dance that is traditionally performed between a man and a woman, featuring two men instead. This production will also celebrate some of the LGBTQ+ Latinx community legends, who have acted as artistic inspirations.
New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus strives to be an empowering voice for the LGBTQ+ community and to enrich our greater New Mexican community through choral excellence. We believe that our strength grows as we add voice to voice, and that understanding between people of diverse cultures and orientations blossoms each time we present our musical offerings.
New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus’ motto is Changing the World Through Music, and through our works of silliness, passion, faith, beauty, and emotion, we try to demonstrate that we are all on the same journey. This year we ask you to join us as we share our musical talents in Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

Festival Flamenco Alburquerque 37: Eduardo Guerrero: Bailar no es Solo Bailar
2024-06-24 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
8:00 pm
National Institute of Flamenco & the NHCC present Eduardo Guerrero y Compañía in the U.S. premiere of Bailar no es Solo Bailar.
The incredible Cádiz-born Eduardo Guerrero brings Bailar no es Solo Bailar to the stage, a work full of profound expression. Guerrero aims to dive into the basics in a humble, simple way, without distracting artifacts and observe what happens when we let the minimal invade us, that innocent dance of the beginning returns to our body – what happens when we eliminate all the subterfuge to see how the body beats and honestly gives into itself to blur and melt. He returns to Flamenco as catharsis, as a language to unburden the heart and let the soul free. To return to Flamenco as a collective communion and sacred meeting, as a vehicle that brought us to the here and now and from which we will return to the before.
$55, $70, $85, $100 & $115
* This price includes a $4/ticket NHCC fee

Festival Flamenco Alburquerque 37: Mercedes de Córdoba y Compañía: Sí, Quiero
2024-06-25 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
8:00 pm
National Institute of Flamenco & the NHCC present Mercedes de Córdoba y Compañía in Sí, Quiero
Considered one of the most powerful and authentic dancers of her generation, Mercedes de Córdoba brings her celebratory personal work to the U.S. for the first time. Sí, Quiero is a categorical answer that admits no doubt. An anachronistic oath, and a forceful and necessary cry that vindicates commitment as a revolutionary act. This beautiful work reaffirms the act of wanting through an artistic discovery of what one is and what one feels. It presents a ceremony that celebrates life, a victory, a toast.
$55, $70, $85, $100 & $115

2024-06-26 | Roy E. Disney Center for Performing Arts: Albuquerque Journal Theatre, 1701 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM, 87102
8:00 pm
National Institute of Flamenco & the NHCC present Manuel Liñán y Compañía in Muerta de Amor.
Spanish National Dance prize winner Manuel Liñán brings his brand new work to the U.S. for the first time. Muerta de Amor creates a space where desires nourished by past longings coexist and feelings can be reclaimed. In this new creation, Manuel Liñán seeks sustenance through emotion and flesh, a journey inviting him to discover humanity’s need for connection, the closeness between bodies, what drives them, and their consequences. Featuring 12 amazing artists on stage, the performance guides us through a choreographic passage, with the essence of copla, aiming at different atmospheres: desire, fantasy, provocation… needs arising from our own intimacy, from our bodies, sustaining our vital energy.
“The emphasis on invoking these emotional fields, provoked by relationships, keeps alive a constant desire, reflected in my dance. P.S. Fall in love, friend, you’ll dance better.” – Manuel Liñán
This performance contains some mature themes. Viewer discretion advised.
