Fri 2 -- Thurs 8 Mar (Not 4, 5 & 6)
A Useful Life (U)
Dir: Federico Veiroj, Uruguay, 2010, 70 mins, Spanish Dialogue with subtitles
Jorge Jellinek, Manuel Martinez Carril, Paola Venditto
The Cinematica, a rundown independent cinema in Montevideo, is closing and Jorge, its manager, programmer & projectionist for the past 25 years, is facing an uncertain future as he bemoans the changing public tastes that have brought the cinema to its knees. A wry, affectionate and amusing look at the end of arthouse cinema. Any similarities to IFT are totally coincidental !
