BEAUTIES OF THE NIGHT
Mexico, 2016, 91 min. In Spanish with English subtitles.

María José Cuevas engrossing debut documentary feature offers a moving portrait of five of Mexicos most popular showgirls of the late 70s and 80s (Olga Breeskin, Lyn May, Princesa Yamal, Rossy Mendoza, Wanda Seux), almost forty years after they ruled Mexicos entertainment world. With a keen eye and devoid of any sensationalism, Cuevas enters the fascinating world of these women who have struggled to reinvent themselves after the decline of the burlesque heyday era in Mexico.

A beautifully crafted exploration of ageism with a powerful vision, and an empowering take on what it means to grow old in a culture obsessed with youth and beauty. (Palm Springs Film Festival)

BELLAS DE NOCHE
México, 2016, 91 mins. En español con subtítulos en inglés

EN PERSONA: LA DIRECTORA MARÍA JOSÉ CUEVAS

La cautivadora ópera prima de María José Cuevas ofrece un conmovedor retrato de cinco de las vedettes más populares de México a finales de los setentas y ochentas, casi cuarenta años después de su reinado en el mundo del entretenimiento y la vida nocturna en México. Con un aguda mirada y desprovisto de cualquier sensacionalismo, Cuevas entra en el fascinante mundo de estas mujeres que han luchado para poder reinventarse después de la decadencia de esos años de cabaret en México.

"Una exploración hermosamente construida sobre los estigmas de la edad, con una poderosa mirada y una empoderante perspectiva sobre lo que significa envejecer en una cultura obsesionada con la juventud y la belleza". (Festival de cine de Palm Springs)

PRESENTADO EN ASOCIACIÓN CON AMBULANTE, GIRA DE DOCUMENTALES Y CON EL APOYO DEL DEPARTAMENTO DE ESTUDIOS DE GÉNERO Y DE LA MUJER DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE ARIZONA
