Central Cinema will screen two Moving Images films about Argentina to the general public - Sunday, Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. for the regular $5 admission to the theater.

Argentina-Hope in Hard Times [2005] 74 min. After its premier at the Seattle Art Museum, this film has screened in festivals around the world and won several awards, including a prestigious CINE Golden Eagle. “Que se vayan todos!” “Throw them all out!” Chants echo off the skyscrapers and burst through the plazas of Buenos Aires. With a failed economy and distrusted politicians, regular people took it upon themselves to make their country look more like their dreams. If you haven't yet seen this inspiring film about a tumultuous period in Argentina's history, here's a great opportunity.

Argentina-Turning Around [2007] 38 min. Premiere. A few years later, Melissa Young and Mark Dworkin returned to Argentina to re-visit worker-run factories and talk with economists and journalists. They wanted to find out if the outpouring of citizen action after the economic collapse of 2001 had led to fundamental changes, or if it is business as usual.
