Film Screening: On-Demand Streaming February 19 - March 5 Discussion with Director Cecilia Aldarondo February 24, 7:30pm Introduction and moderation byPatricia Montoya. Through shard-like glimpses of everyday life in post-Hurricane María Puerto Rico,Landfallis a cautionary tale for our times. Set against the backdrop of protests that toppled the US colony's governor in 2019, the film offers a prismatic portrait of collective trauma and resistance.

Featuring intimate encounters with Puerto Ricans as well as the newcomers flooding the island,Landfallreflects on a question of contemporary global relevance:When the world falls apart, who do we become? 91mins, English and Spanish with subtitles, 2020.
