▌FESTIVAL ▌Hola, Mexico! And Why 'Naco' is ALWAYS Chido @ E St (thru 6/1)

Landmark 'E Street' Cinemas
555 11th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20001
202.452.7672
NOW through 6/1


You may have heard about 'Norteado'--which opened the festival, but the people's choice is worth your eyeballs and attention to staying 'woke', too. Yours truly viewed Sergio Arau's Naco es Chido ("Kitch Is Cool") Friday at Landmark, and may I say, it is indeed a timely faux tale.

For would-be revolutionaries who are losing their vigor since hope-dope became too much, I recommend you take a whiff of the beauty in Mexican cinema at Sam Douek's Hola Mexico Film Festival, running now through Tuesday, June 1st.

This year marks the 200th anniversary of Mexican independence from Spain and the 100th year since the Mexican Revolution. To celebrate in cinematic style, Hola Mexico Film Festival is here in the DMV for the first time since the international fest began.

Catch it before it's gone!
