DEEP Antonio Llerandi directed this Venezuelan-Colombian production about a Venezuelan family who are persuaded, thanks to a vision and the advice of a witch, that treasure is buried under their floorboards–though they can only find it if they cleanse themselves of sin (1988). Producer Reynaldo De Los Llanos will be present at the screening. (Three Penny, 6:30)
LA OFRENDA: THE DAYS OF THE DEAD and THEATER Two documentaries. La Ofrenda, directed by Lourdes Portillo (who will be present at the screening) and Susana Munoz, is about the Mexican holiday in November. Theater–directed by Ruth Shapiro, Edward Burke, and Pamela Yates–concerns a Jesuit priest and his traveling theater company who deliver a social message along the back roads of Honduras.
