New York Peruvian Film & Art Showcase 2015: September 15 – 18, 2015
The New York Peruvian Film & Art Showcase (NYPFAS) is proud to announce the film line-up and art program for 2015. Through documentaries, an art exhibition, short films, feature-length fiction and live music performances, the NYPFAS will try to portray Peru´s migration legacy as well as honor all of those citizens that, through origin or adoption, made the birth of a new nation possible.
This Showcase, which returns to New York City for a sixth year, will take place on September 15, 16, 17 and 18, 2015 (program and additional information enclosed) at the Instituto Cervantes – New York (211 E 49th St). This year’s program includes a diverse schedule of over 10 features, shorts and documentaries. The film selection presents, among many other groundbreaking works, Seeking the light, documentary by Delia Ackerman; Madeleine Truel: The Peruvian Heroine of the Second World War, documentary by Luis Enrique Cam; Guard dog, feature-length fiction by Daniel Higashionna and Baltazar Caravedo and Aunt Helga, fiction short movie by Ruben Carpio. A retrospective of Japanese- Peruvian master painter Venancio Shinki (September 14-19, 2015- Instituto Cervantes-Gallery) will be part of this year´s program. Shinki is one of the living masters of Peruvian painting; his artworks recall Eastern, Western, and Andean traditions, which links this visionary and groundbreaking artist with other great Latin American creators.
This year´s highlight is the participation of the internationally renowned Peruvian singer, two-times Latin Grammy Award winner and Minister of Culture of Peru in 2011, Mrs. Susana Baca. This special event on Friday September 18, 2015 at 6.00 pm, will feature a live music performance, film screenings and the presentation of her book TheBitter Road of Sugar Cane, recently published.
The Sixth Edition of the New York Peruvian Film & Art Showcase is directed and produced by photographer and filmmaker Lorry Salcedo, in collaboration with the Trade Commission of Peru in New York, Peruvian American Cultural Institute (ICPNA), Mr. Jeffrey Rosen and Ana Maria Estrada de Rosen, the Center for American Studies in Lima (CEA), Cerveza Cusqueña - Backus Corporation, the Consulate of Peru in New York and the Film Library of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (Filmoteca PUCP).
