On Thursday, March 28, the film Postales de Leningrado / Postcards from Leningrad will be shown in the Frick Fine Arts Auditorium at 6:30 PM. For the young narrator of Postales de Leningrado, being born into a socialist uprising in 1960s Venezuela wasn’t easy. She and her cousin Teo have learned how to live a clandestine life, making an ongoing game out of survival, with everything from code names and creative disguises to making themselves invisible. A visual collage, the film injects both humor and pathos into a story where wild imaginations, foggy memories, and grief mix in a child’s reality. This is a part of the Latin American Film Series.
