CAHSS Invites you to Sebastián Lelio’s Una Mujer Fantástica (A Fantastic Woman), Sept. 18

The Department of Literature and Modern Languages (DLML) in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) and First Year Experience Program are pleased to present the Annual Film Series: The Reel. This film series offers NSU students, faculty, and other members of the university and local community curated film screenings three times per fall and winter on campus. Food and drinks are provided, and each night is free of charge.

Yvette Fuentes, Ph.D., faculty in DLML will facilitate discussion of Sebastián Lelio’s Una Mujer Fantástica (A Fantastic Woman), on Wednesday, September 18, from 6:00-9:00pm in the Mailman-Hollywood Auditorium, 2nd floor.

Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film (2017) and directed by Sebastián Lelio, one of Chile’s most successful directors and screenwriters, Una Mujer Fantástica focuses on the life of a transgender woman, Marina (Daniela Vega), who must overcome rejection and harassment after the unexpected and sudden death of her older lover, Orlando (Francisco Reyes). Set in modern-day Chile, the movie presents viewers with the changes taking place in a country once plagued by a right-wing dictatorship, and where laws protecting LGBTQ have only been recently passed. Una Mujer Fantástica calls on viewers to reflect on love, loss, and hope even in the direst of circumstances. The film will be shown in Spanish with English captions.
