The 12th Cine Las Americas International Film Festival will take place in Austin, Texas, once again bringing the best of Latino and indigenous cinema.
UT RTF MFA Alum John Fiege and current MFA student Marianela Vega Oroza are both competing in the Cine Las America Film Festival this year.
Marianela Vega Oroza’s film Conversation II offers an intimate look at the female universe; a journey in time through evocative images and the testimonies of women from the same family. Through the personal search of a daughter into the lives of her mother and grandmother, the film explores the evolution of the female role in a Latin American society and how the views of marriage and motherhood have changed with each generation, as well as the view that women have of themselves.
