After the popular success of Brokeback Mountain, what's next?.... The answer in our hearts is Quinceañera.
For MGLFF's August Monthly Screening, we are proud to present a sneak preview of one of the most eagerly awaited independent films of the year in the Miami community, co-directors Wash Westmoreland & Richard Glatzer's Quinceañera.
Quinceañera is a milagro - a miraculous exploration of racial, class and sexual tensions colliding in a working class Latino neighborhood undergoing a rapid gentrification. Fourteen-year-old Magdalena (Emily Roos) is like any Latina her age - she's obsessed with her upcoming quinceañera, the elaborate 2,500-year-old ritual still revered in Latino culture as the transitional moment when a young girl becomes a woman. Yet just at the moment Magdalena should be happiest, an unexpected turn of events estranges from her parents and she must go to live with her gentle, great-uncle Tomas (Chalo Gonzalez) and cousin Carlos (Jesse Garcia), a tough and handsome cholo kicked out of his own house for being gay. The small cottage in which Tomas hosts Magdalena and Carlos, meanwhile, is owned by an affluent white late 30something gay male couple, who take more than just a neighborly interest in the fiery, street-smart but naive young Carlos. The consequences go far beyond what Carlos, Tomas or Magdalena could ever imagine...
Winner of BOTH the Grand Jury Prize AND the Audience Favorite Award in the Dramatic Competition at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, Quinceañera celebrates the power of family - chosen family. Read all about rising hot young star Jesse Garcia in this week's issue of The Advocate - click here.
Earlier this year, in our 2006 Festival, MGLFF held a panel discussion which posed the question, "After the popular success of Brokeback Mountain, what's next?" The answer in our hearts, at least for the moment, is Quinceañera. Directors Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer previously co-directed the film The Fluffer in 2001, and Glatzer previously wrote & directed the film Grief with Craig Chester. Westmoreland's most recent directorial credit was the documentary Gay Republicans which screened at MGLFF 2005.
Primarily in English, with some Spanish (translated by English subtitles).
Special thanks to Sony Pictures Classics.
