WE ARE KICKING OFF WITH…
“Frida" chronicles the life of Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek), who channeled the pain of a crippling injury and her tempestuous marriage into her work. Kahlo shared her life unflinchingly and openly with Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina) as the young couple took the art world by storm. From her complex and enduring relationship with her mentor and husband to her illicit and controversial affair with Leon Trotsky, to her provocative and romantic entanglements with women, Frida Kahlo lived a bold and uncompromising life as a political, artistic, and sexual revolutionary.
Señorita Extraviada/Missing Young Woman
Lourdes Portillo, Director
September 19, 2005 - 7:00pm
City Library Auditorium, 210 East/400 South
Lourdes Portillo: writer / director / producer
Mexico-born and Chicana identified, Portillo's films have focused on the search for Latino identity. She has worked in a richly varied range of forms, from television documentary to satirical video-film collage. Portillo got her first filmmaking experience at the age of twenty-one when a friend in Hollywood asked her to help out on a documentary. Portillo says, " I knew from that moment what I was going to do for the rest of my life. That never changed. It was just a matter of when I was going to do it."
Señorita Extraviada/Missing Young Woman tells the story of the hundreds of kidnapped, raped and murdered young women of Juárez, Mexico. The murders first came to light in 1993, and young women continue to "disappear" to this day (2005) without any hope of bringing the perpetrators to justice. Who are these women from all walks of life and why are they getting murdered so brutally? Portillo will share personal perspectives with her Salt Lake audience as she delves into finding answers to these questions.

“Frida" cuenta la vida de Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek), quien convirtio el dolor de su debilitante enfermedad y su tormentoso matrimonio en obras de arte. Kahlo compartio su vida abiertamente con Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina) y juntos revolucionaron el mundo del arte. Desde su complicada relacion con su esposo y guia, hasta su ilicita y controversial relacion con Leon Trotsky, y sus relaciones amorosas con mujeres, Frida Kahlo vivio con valentia y sin conprometer su vida politica, su liberacion sexual, ni mucho menos su vida artistica.
En Septiembre…
