\u201cWild Tales\u201d is a collection of six standalone short stories:\u00a0“Pasternak”, “Las ratas” (“The Rats”), “El m\u00e1s fuerte” (“The Strongest”), “Bombita” (“Little Bomb”), “La propuesta” (“The Proposal”), and “Hasta que la muerte nos separe” (“Till Death Do Us Part”).\u00a0Wealth inequality serves as the intangible antagonist in each story to illustrate themes of catharsis, violence and vengeance woven through each narrative of Szifron\u2019s work.The film\u00a0features an ensemble cast including\u00a0Ricardo Dar\u00edn, Oscar Mart\u00ednez, Leonardo Sbaraglia, \u00c9rica Rivas, Rita Cortese, Julieta Zylberberg and Dar\u00edo Grandinetti. According to the writer\/director four of the stories are loosely based on his own real-life experiences. The R-rated 2014 feature has won eight Plantino Awards, BAFTA Award, Goya Award for Best Spanish Language Foreign Film and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.<\/p>\n

She\u00a0also\u00a0serves as a co-curator of the FBAC\u2019s LGBTQ+ Film Series.\u00a0\u201cCinema\u00a0Significa\u2026\u201d strives to celebrate Hispanic and Latin stories and expand intercultural knowledge through dance, musical performances, movie screenings, Q&A panel sessions and other educational components resulting from community partners.<\/p>\n
