Margarita (2012)

Touching, hilarious but it let you to think about several themes

MARGARITA is a touching and hilarious film which takes its first steps from free and proud lesbianism but, step by step, let you go trough the immigrants tragedy, the precarious job drama and the introjected homophobia. Since the first screening in Italy (where we still daily face with all this issues!), it was a great success and a lot of the most important "affermative actions" associations still get in touch with us to be linked to the directors to organize screenings. The film is directed in a brilliant and exciting way by two of the most respected directors in the women independent cinema industry. We were in touch with Dominique Cardona and Laurie Colbert since 1993 screening their first works and we are proud to have had in our 20- years programming most of their works. They put their best in the actor/actresses choices and in the film photography which let you feel in the far Canada from the first to the last scene. They love Canada and you can easily feel it and after the screening you will also love Canada and the Canadians! We wish Dominique/Laurie all the best and we look forward to screen their next work, having from them the great gift of a positive, mindful and thoughtful women' cinema.
