LAFF2021 next screening: The Awakening of the Ants (2019)

[Mario Boido]

Dear colleagues,
Please join us for the next screening of the 2021 Latin American Film Festival. The Awakening of the Ants (2019), directed by Antonella Sudassasi Furniss, will be screened next Wednesday, February 10, at 7pm, and it will be available for streaming from the Festival portal from February 10 to February 17.
About the film: “For thoughtful, demure young housewife Isa, life in a lush, postcard-perfect Costa Rican seaside village is far from anyone’s idea of a dream. She finds herself suffocated by rigid gender roles and the cloistered, provincial thinking that comes with small-town life. Desperately imagining some other way of living—single, childless, desired—while growing increasingly tense towards those closest to her, Isa finds herself at a breaking point awakening to the possibilities of a life lived on her own terms, in this engrossing and intimate feature debut from writer/director Antonella Sudasassi Furniss.”
