Pereda, a festival favorite for his blend of realism and quiet absurdity, sets this 70-minute comedy inside one apartment: composer Tere lets a colleague film a TV interview there, and her cellist daughter joins in as sound problems and technical hiccups pile up. It is both a sly take on sexism in the music world and a funny look at making art. If you like dry, minimalist humor, this is one of the Main Slate's most approachable picks.
What to expect
A 70-minute feature in Spanish with English subtitles, followed by a Q&A with Nicolás Pereda and Lázaro G. Rodríguez. Screenings are in Film at Lincoln Center's theaters on West 65th Street. The humor is deadpan and slow-building, so settle in and let the awkward pauses and sound glitches do the work.
Good to know
- Take the 1 train to 66 St–Lincoln Center.
- Spanish with English subtitles.
- The short running time makes it easy to pair with a second festival screening.
- Main Slate screenings with Q&As tend to sell well; check for standby if sold out.
- A later screening also plays at BAM in Brooklyn during the festival.
