Interview with the Earth
Together
$12 Special Event Tickets
One of Pereda’s finest accomplishments, Interview with the Earth is a mesmerizing study of grief that traces the echoes of a child’s accidental death across the lives of his friends and their families. Pereda’s fascinating short expands the ambiguity between fiction and non-fiction explored in his features, with its non-professional cast lending the film a deep authenticity and power which is paradoxically strengthened by the film’s open acknowledgements of its own deliberate artifice. – HG
An intimate and off-beat portrait of a strained relationship, Juntos features Gabino Rodríguez as a young man in search of his lost dog and the cause of the widening rift with his moody girlfriend. Pereda makes humorous use of the cramped, dysfunctional apartment where most of the film takes place, staging dead-pan gags that recall the meditative comedy of Tsai-Ming Liang. Among Pereda’s most abstract and emotionally nuanced films, Together ends in a rhapsodic extended scene that pulls the film deep into a verdant wilderness and towards unknown mysteries. – HG
