Nae Pasaran is an interesting film. The film maker is the son of a Chilean journalist who was exiled when Pinochet came in. He's a Chilean-Belgian filmmaker who lives in Scotland. The film is about the workers in Scotland who refused to repair the Rolls-Royce jet engines of the Chilean Air Force in solidarity with the Chilean union brothers. It's not only relevant in terms of what unions can do to fight tyranny, but it has current relevance given Chile's protests still going on right now.
Straight Up is about a gay guy who thinks maybe he's really straight.
The Film Royal will show the short films produced in the last five days by Alaskans who got the prompts that needed to be in the film five days ago. These have progressed from fairly rough films years ago, to very professional productions in recent years. Always fun.
