Did your grandmother have folk sayings about the power of fire, water, or the moon? She’d be welcome here! Fortunate we are, that folklore and superstitions remain fixed over many generations. This is definitely true of the Irish. Come along as we find the origin of wishing wells, the behavior of Banshees, and the secrets of healing herbs imparted to humans by the Faeries. What would you write as the next line of this limerick? “There was a young lady named Molly…”

Section Notes

Latin American cinema is having a moment. Films from Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and elsewhere dominate the English-language screen and red carpet. Notably, Roma, a film shot in Mexico City by the Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón in Spanish, won overall Best Picture, among a slew of other awards, at the 2018 Oscars. Other Latin American directors and actors have become household names. Think Guillermo Del Toro, the director of last year's Frankenstein adaptation or Spaniard Javier Bardém, a star of English-language cinema and winner of two Academy Awards for acting. The class Latin American Cinema will take a close look at the rise of Spanish-language cinema in the Anglophone world, identify pivotal historical moments, films, and filmmakers in the history of Spanish-language cinema, and preview an upcoming Latin American film series to be hosted by The Guild Cinema with co-sponsorship from the Latin American and Iberian Institute at UNM and with support from Instituto Cervantes de Albuquerque.
