Director of photography, Alex Phillips, Jr. ; editor, Rafael Ceballos.Enrique Lucero, Salvador Sanchez, Ernesto Gomez Cruz, Roberto Sosa, Arturo Alegro, Carlos Chavez, Jaime Garza, Gerardo Vigil."One of Mexico's most highly regarded works of political cinema, Canoa: A Shameful Memory reimagines a real-life incident that had occurred just eight years before its release, when a group of urban university employees on a hiking trip were viciously attacked by residents of the village of San Miguel Canoa who had been manipulated by a corrupt priest into believing the travelers were communist revolutionaries. Director Felipe Cazals adopts a gritty documentary style to narrate the events in Canoa while referencing the climate of political repression that would lead to the massacre of student protesters in Mexico City shortly thereafter. The resulting film is a daring commentary on ideological manipulation, religious fanaticism and mass violence, as well as a visceral expression of horror."--Container.MPAA rating: Not rated.DVD, NTSC, region 1; wide screen (1.85:1 aspect ratio); Dolby Digital monaural.

Quién no / by Piñeiro, Claudia,1960-author.(CARDINAL)548808;
Lo de papá -- Dos valijas -- Con las manos atadas -- Basura para las gallinas -- Claro y contundente -- Un zapato y tres plumas -- La madre de Mariano Osorno -- Ojos azules detrás de voile -- Mañana -- El abuelo Martín -- Bendito aire de Buenos Aires -- Carla y Rubén, estilistas -- Lo mejor de vos -- Salsa Carina -- Alquiler temporario -- La muerte y la canoa."This is Claudia Piñeiro's powerful new book of short stories. A set of stories that, like short every-day scenes, deal with situations that we can all relate to. Some are quirks and oddities that go unnoticed, small obsessions that make their way into daily routines; others can lead to crimes, but are usually resting latent within people's souls. A selfish man performs an act of generosity, a dead person speaks through his belongings, a recluse has a night of love in the most absurd way, a couple creates their own hell, a famous writer hides behind his success, and so, just like them, all the protagonists in these stories are faced with real, and some not-so-real, ghosts. In these detailed and courageous stories, blood flows, sometimes in spurts and other times like a thin red piece of thread, to remind us that nobody is safe from violence and that behind our normal-people masks, we are all "a little strange.""--Publisher's description.

En tierras salvajes / by Gilbert, Elizabeth,1969-(CARDINAL)265524; Sobregués, Noemí,translator.(CARDINAL)591722;
"Eustace Conway no se parećia a ninǵun otro hombre. En 1977,condiecisiete ãnos, abandońo su hogar para trasladarse a los montes Apalaches. Durante ḿas de dos ́decadas vivío alĺi, haciendo fuegocon palos, vistiendo pieles de animales y construyendo, cultivando y cazando todo lo que necesitaba para subsistir. Elizabeth Gilbert, deslumbrada por sus relatos y aventuras, se decidío a reconstruir su vida: la historia del hombre que recorrío el Mississippi en una canoa de madera hecha a mano, que camińo los ḿas de tres mil kiĺometros del Sendero de los Apalaches, y que cruźo los Alpes alemanes en zapatillas deportivas."--"In this rousing examination of contemporary American male identity, acclaimed author and journalist Elizabeth Gilbert explores the fascinating true story of Eustace Conway. In 1977, at the age of seventeen, Conway left his family's comfortable suburban home to move to the Appalachian Mountains. For more than two decades he has lived there, making fire with sticks, wearing skins from animals he has trapped, and trying to convince Americans to give up their materialistic lifestyles and return with him back to nature. To Gilbert, Conway's mythical character challenges all our assumptions about what it is to be a modern man in America; he is a symbol of much we feel how our men should be, but rarely are."--
