ALAMAR screening at Film Forum
 July 14 - 20, 2010
Living somewhere on the cusp between fiction and
documentary, the film tells the story of a young boy whose divorced parents (an
Italian mother and Mexican father) make him a child of two worlds. The
strikingly handsome Jorge – muscled, tattooed and mustachioed – transports his
urban son to this natural paradise to teach him to dive for lobster, and fish
for barracuda, spending days on a tiny fishing boat and nights in a reed-roofed
cabin that floats atop the water.

opportunity to reconcile personal memories with an ongoing national
debate. Winner of a documentary directing award at this year’s Sundance
