Neo Noir at the Rio Grande: Mildred Pierce

Please join us Friday, July 11 at 6:00PM at the Rio Grande Theater to watch Mildred Pierce!

Filmmaker Andrew Jara joins us to introduce the film and speak on his experience in the film industry.

Writer/Director Andrew Jara is a Latino filmmaker interested in pursuing real themes and situations while also bringing more voices to film. Andrew's features and shorts have played festivals all over the world as well as on multiple streaming services. His latest feature, The Empty Space, a cosmic horror about mental illness won the "Best of the Fest" award at the Sacramento Horror Film Festival. Andrew hopes to continue making genre films that reach people beyond entertainment value and brings a Latino perspective to a wide audience.

This screening is part of a free film series presented in conjunction with the University Art Museum’s "Warhol & Friends" exhibition. All screenings are free and begin at 6pm, either at the Rio Grande Theater or at the UAM.

The series will conclude with a special screening of Gilda at the University Art Museum on July 19, coinciding with the exhibition's closing reception.
