The Department of World Languages and Cultures is excited to invite you to our Latin Film Festival on Identity and LGBTQ+ Experiences, hosted at the Luna Theater during the Fall 2024. This festival showcases films that explore diverse narratives within the Latin LGBTQ+ community. The next screening is "Don't Call Me Son," a film by Anna Muylaert, on Nov. 7.

"Don’t Call Me Son" (Mãe Só Há Uma) (2016) tells the story of a young man who is stunned to discover that he was kidnapped as a child by the woman he's called mother his entire life. Now, he's left to deal with the consequences of her actions and finally meet his biological family. This Brazilian drama is a scathing critique of upper-middle-class complacency and materialism.

Presented in Portuguese with English subtitles.

When: Nov. 7, 7:30 p.m.

Where: Luna Theater, Mill 5, 250 Jackson St, Lowell.

Admission is free and open to the entire community. However, seating is limited, so first come, first serve. Arrive early to secure your spot.

This festival is made possible thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Pragda Film Club Grant, with additional support from the Provost's Office, the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Saab Center for Portuguese Studies, the River Hawk Scholars Academy, the Department of Sociology and the Latin American Studies and Film Studies minors.
