MAMACITA
(Arizona Premiere)
Director José Pablo Estrada Torrescano unearths family secrets in his debut feature Mamacita. When the aspiring director went to study film abroad, his grandmother made him promise to return to Mexico one day to make a film about her life. Little did he know that his film would unearth secrets, lies and deceptions affecting five generations of a high society Mexican family. Mamacita, José Pablo’s grandmother, is an extravagant Mexican beauty queen living in her own kingdom with her loyal servants: gardener, chauffeur, chef, housekeeper and nurses. The 95-year-old lady has turned her house into a castle, hiding the open wounds of a prominent Mexican upper class family behind its stone walls. José Pablo conquers his granny’s empire like a Trojan horse, discovering the haunted spirits of his own past and the reason for the lack of love that his entire clan has suffered from for generations.
Thursday, March 28, 5:30p.m. at the Center for Creative Photography. Documentary. Mexico/Germany. 2018. 75 min.
PLAZA DE LA SOLEDAD
(Arizona Premiere)
In person: Producer Martha Sosa Elizondo
Internationally acclaimed photographer Maya Goded makes a promising film debut with Plaza de la Soledad, a moving continuation of her photography work in La Merced neighborhood in Mexico City, where prostitution has been present since the days of the Aztecs. “Beautiful, respectful, and celebratory” (Film Comment) and winner of the Cinema Tropical Award for Best Latin American Documentary, the film follows four strong women—middle-aged and older—who want to break a vicious circle that began with abuse and abandonment suffered from an early age. Carmen, Lety, Raquel and Esther aspire for a better life, and Goded’s poignant lens follows their quest to find true love, their capacity to transform themselves, and above all, their resilience and solidarity.
Thursday, March 28, 7:30p.m. at the Center for Creative Photography. Documentary. Mexico, 2016, 84 min.
XQUIPI’ GUIE’DANI / GUIE’DANI’S NAVEL
(Arizona Premiere)
In person: Director Xavi Sala
Directed by Catalan-born filmmaker Xavi Sala, this incisive portrait of racism and classism follows young Zapotec Guie’dani, who moves from her Oaxacan village to Mexico City when her mother takes a job as a live-in maid for a wealthy family. Defiant and morose, Guie’dani abhors their new roles in service. Everything changes when she meets Claudia, a rebellious girl with whom she becomes close friends. Newcomer Sótera Cruz brings razor-sharp intensity to her portrayal of a girl determined to fight for her dignity.
Friday, March 29, 6:00p.m. Harkins Tucson Spectrum 18. Drama. Mexico, 2018, 119 min.
LAS NIÑAS BIEN / THE GOOD GIRLS
(Arizona Premiere)
Based on Guadalupe Loaeza’s satiric and iconic 1985 bestseller of the same name, Alejandra Márquez Abella’s second film is a portrait of the always charming, perfect and spoiled Sofia, the queen bee of her group of friends, who faces the unimaginable - her social decay. It’s 1982 and a big economic crisis is hitting Mexico. Sofia will have to maintain appearances but her fall is not only inevitable, it will acknowledge what is lost when the money is gone. Starring an impressive ensemble cast including Ilse Salas (Güeros, Museo), Cassandra Ciangherotti (Time Share, Cantinflas), and Paulina Gaitán (Sin Nombre), The Good Girls is a poignant snapshot of the decadent Mexican bourgeoisie of the early eighties.
Friday, March 29, 9:15pm Harkins Tucson Spectrum 18. Drama. Mexico, 2018, 94 min.
LA CAMARISTA / THE CHAMBERMAID
(Arizona Premiere ahead of U.S. theatrical release)
A poignant and delicate class portrait, The Chambermaid follows Eve—played by the wonderful Gabriela Cartol (I Dream in Another Language)—a young chambermaid working in one of the most luxurious hotels in Mexico City, who confronts the monotony of long workdays with quiet examinations of forgotten belongings and budding friendships that nourish her newfound and determined dream for a better life. Inspired by the filmmaker's own theater play of the same name—in turn inspired by Sophie Calle’s 1980 artistic project “The Hotel,” in which the French artist worked as a chambermaid in a Venice hotel—The Chambermaid is a standout among a thriving new generation of Mexican and Latin American women filmmakers. With impeccable cinematography, a near-documentary eye, and a humanistic gaze, the film signals director Lila Avilés as a talent to watch.
Saturday, March 30, 6:00pm Harkins Tucson Spectrum 18. Mexico, 2018, 98 min.
CINDERELO
(U.S. Premiere)
In person: Director Beto Gomez
Beto Gómez’ humorous screwball comedy Cinderelo follows Marlon Flores (the wonderful Miguel Rodarte), a talented photographer with an amazing ability to highlight anyone's inner beauty, but not his own. His ugliness attracts the rejection and ridicule of all women, except his assistant Maria, who can see him for what he really is. Tired of constant contempt, he unexpectedly encounters his fairy godfather (Joaquín Cosío, Narcos: Mexico, Me gusta pero me asusta, The Thin Yellow Line), a mysterious man who casts a spell on him, transforming him into an irresistible hunk named Brando (played by popular actor William Levy). The catch? It’s only in effect at night. With the help of his best friend Felix, Marlon turns the handsome Brando into the most coveted man in the city. But can you find true love with a double identity?
Saturday, March 30, 9:00pm Harkins Tucson Spectrum 18. Romantic Comedy. Mexico/Dominican Republic, 2019, 91 min.
TESOROS / TREASURES
(Arizona Premiere)
Written and directed by veteran filmmaker María Novaro (Danzón, Leaving No Trace) and set in a palm-fringed fishing village on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, this tale follows young siblings Dylan and Andrea as they embark on a search for lost pirate treasure left centuries ago by Francis Drake. Guided by their own intelligence and curiosity, the children chart the limestone islands off the coast, and find something much more valuable than a treasure chest. A sweet and optimistic film from Mexico’s best-known female director.
Sunday, March 31, 2:00pm Harkins Tucson Spectrum 18. Family. Mexico, 2017, 95 min.
Mexican Cinema Under Neoliberalism: A Conversation with Filmmaker Carlos Rossini on the Intersection of Film and Politics in the 21st Century
Mexico is currently going through a profound political transformation. Last year's crushing electoral win of Andrés Manuel López Obrador as the new president of Mexico signaled the end of an era marked by neoliberalism policies that were implanted in Mexico since the eighties. Join us for a conversation with director-producer Carlos Rossini (The Chambermaid, The Mayor) on the intersection of Mexican cinema and politics in the new century, how neoliberalist policies shaped the narratives and modes of production south of the border, and what is currently at stake in Mexican cinema with the change in the federal government.
Sunday, March 31, 11:00 a.m. Tucson Museum of Art.

Headlines of early wildflower blooms across Arizona inspired professional photographers and the average Tucsonan alike to head outside and enjoy nature's paint canvas. Parks Catalina and Picacho Peak showed off colors of violet and gold with swaths of poppies and lupines.
The equally magical Friday snow, however, caused the flowers to close their petals for a few days after a brief winter storm caused around half an inch of snow to fall around the University of Arizona campus and a whopping 38 inches on Mt. Lemmon, according to the National Weather Service.
Wildflowers like to hide when it gets chilly, but as temperatures have increased throughout the week reaching into the 70's, they're out again and blooming as bright as ever! This bloom marks the beginning of Southern Arizona's spring wildflower season. Need to know when and where you'll find these carpets of color? Reach out to Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum's "Wildflower Hotline" at 520-833-2702 ext. 7320 during business hours, or check online for additional resources.

I suppose it's possible that Mesa Public Schools have the finest civic engagement programs in the state, and that's why its schools make up 17 of the 31 schools recognized by the Arizona Department of Education for their "Dedication to High Quality Civic Engagement." Maybe Mesa schools are that good.
Or maybe their schools' most stellar achievement in civic engagement is engaging with the ADE by turning in applications to receive the honor.
(Two schools in southern Arizona were among those recognized, both in Tucson: TUSD's Safford K-8 School and the Paulo Freire Freedom School University charter school.)
Ex-Superintendent John Huppenthal instituted the program and handed out its first recognitions in 2013. That year 28 schools applied and 22 were recognized. In 2014, 31 schools applied and 27 were recognized. When Diane Douglas took over, she ended the tradition of including the number of schools that applied, so I don't know if she continued the tradition of accepting all but a handful of applicants.
Since 2014, Mesa schools captured at least half the awards each year.
The application isn't especially long or detailed. It asks schools to estimate the percentage of teachers who engage in civic education with their students in ten categories, then asks for a brief explanation of the nature of the engagement. A panel goes over the applications and decides if they make the cut. If so, they are designated Schools of Merit, Schools of Distinction or Schools of Excellence.
Civic engagement for students is important, and it's a nice idea to recognize standout schools, but this honor bestowed on schools by the ADE is meaningless. It gives schools the opportunity to hang a banner in the halls and brag in a newsletter, but that's pretty much it. Apply and you shall likely receive, the ADE signals schools, so long as you're generous in your estimation of the percentage of your teachers whose students are civically engaged.
This is Superintendent Kathy Hoffman's first year and the deadline for the civic engagement application ended before she took office, so she gets a pass on this one. I recommend she takes a look at the six year old program and either figure out a way to make it mean something or choose to opt out of the self parody her two predecessors indulged in.

And he’s earned dozens of awards and nominations along the way.

(Maybe you have to see it to get it). With trucks like “Bad News Travels Fast,” “Barbarian” and “Stinger Unleashed,” you know this event is going to be larger-than-life. Don’t miss your chance to watch your childhood Hot Wheel dreams come to life! 7 p.m. on Friday, March 1; 1 and 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 2; and 1 p.m. on Sunday, March 3. Tucson Arena, 260 S.

Art Party: Best Buds. This month, downtown clothing store How Sweet It Was is featuring the art of Tucson’s favorite freelance florist, Brittany Peña. You may have seen her bouquets around town, mixing and matching specimens, playing with space and exhibiting totally unique textures. What you almost definitely haven’t seen is these sculptural arrangements translated to an entire room.

Soundwalk with MOCA. You ever walk down the street and just listen? We mean, like, really listen. Listen more than you look. Listen to the sounds of people’s pant legs moving past each other as they walk, and to the sounds of car windows being rolled down in the distance, and to the sounds of birds moving around in the trees? Local field recordist David Dearmore does. At this event, he’ll lead us through downtown Tucson’s streets, washes, gardens and parks and teach us how to listen, and how to use listening as a way to understand what is being lost and replaced as Tucson becomes further gentrified. Stop at any time to focus on a sound, using either your ears or a set of microphones and recorders. (Some will be provided, but you’re encouraged to bring your own—a phone works just fine.) At the end, get a ’zine full of sound walking and field recording best practices compiled by Dearmore. 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 2. Tucson Museum of Contemporary Art, 265 S. Church Ave., is the starting point. $30, or $25 for MOCA members. Details here.
Tess Redmoon & Red Clay. When was the last time you heard a really solid flute performance? What about a performance by a flutist who can play jazz, classical, world music or original songs? Award-wining flutist, singer, songwriter and composer Tess Redmoon’s song “Borderlands” was a finalist in the ACLU songwriting competition to convey the struggles of immigrants crossing the United States’ southern border. Today, she and her group Red Clay will perform original music at the Tucson Desert Art Museum, out in the open where we can all get a breath of fresh air. 2 to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 2. Tucson Desert Art Museum, 7000 E. Tanque Verde Road. $15 includes museum admission. Details here.
Grand Canyon State. It’s the 100th anniversary of the Grand Canyon being designated a national park, and if you’ve ever seen that beauty, you know that it’s something worth celebrating. The Tucson Symphony Orchestra is on it! Watch film of the park, as well as a 1958 Walt Disney Short film about it, played to Grofé’s Grand Canyon Suite, which premiered in Tucson.

Soundwalk with MOCA. You ever walk down the street and just listen? We mean, like, really listen. Listen more than you look. Listen to the sounds of people’s pant legs moving past each other as they walk, and to the sounds of car windows being rolled down in the distance, and to the sounds of birds moving around in the trees? Local field recordist David Dearmore does. At this event, he’ll lead us through downtown Tucson’s streets, washes, gardens and parks and teach us how to listen, and how to use listening as a way to understand what is being lost and replaced as Tucson becomes further gentrified. Stop at any time to focus on a sound, using either your ears or a set of microphones and recorders. (Some will be provided, but you’re encouraged to bring your own—a phone works just fine.) At the end, get a ’zine full of sound walking and field recording best practices compiled by Dearmore. 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 2. Tucson Museum of Contemporary Art, 265 S. Church Ave., is the starting point. $30, or $25 for MOCA members. Details here.
