The Visitor

Landmark's Century Centre Cinema 2828 N Clark Street, Chicago, Illinois, United States

Humberto’s greatest desire, after his recent release from prison, is to rebuild his relationship with his estranged daughter and provide her with a decent life. But her grandparents—wealthy Evangelical pastors—are not willing to give up custody. Bullied into a corner financially and ideologically, Humberto is forced to face his own demons while simultaneously fighting a powerful ecclesiastical institution to which he once belonged. Set in the central Bolivian city of Cochabamba, "The Visitor" is a somber meditation on class, family relationships, and the increasing power of Evangelism in Latin America.

98 Seconds Without A Shadow

Landmark's Century Centre Cinema 2828 N Clark Street, Chicago, Illinois, United States

Every moment is precious for 16-year-old Genoveva; so much so that she counts every moment in her life in seconds. She is devoted to her newborn brother Nacho and to her ailing and colorful grandmother Clara Luz (Geraldine Chaplin). She also puts up with the bullying and strict mores at her all-girl Catholic school. The arrival of Hernán, her catatonic mother’s spiritual guru, may actually offer a way out from her small, parochial, increasingly violent town in this quirky and sometimes surreal coming-of-age story.
