ELLIOT LOVES

Terracino US | 90 min | Dominican Republic/US | 2012

Saturday September 14, 2013, 6:30pm

*$20 SCREENING*

The story of Dominican-America Elliot Ayende at two stages of his life: as a 9-year-old who is side-kick and confidant to his barely-keeping-it-together single mom; and as a 21-year-old looking for love in New York City. A comedy-drama that shows you can survive anything life throws at you — just “keep it cute papi.”

ABO SO (ONLY YOU)

Juan Francisco Pardo | 75 min | Aruba | 2013

Saturday September 11, 2013, 9:30pm

*FREE SCREENING*

Aruba’s first-ever feature-length musical, Abo So (Only You) tells the story of Tatiana (Raphaela Mahadeo), an intelligent, conservative young woman who moves with her mother and brother to their aunt’s house in the neighbourhood Seroe Patrishi. There, she meets Santiago (Miguel Genser), a quirky young man of Latin origin, who can’t take Tatiana’s diva attitude. Yet secrets are revealed. They discover compassion for one another out of which a beautiful love grows. This almost impossible love will force them through different tests. Featuring the songs of one of the Caribbean’s oldest living treasures, music legend Padú del Caribe.

Location:  Studio Theatre, Harbourfront Centre, 235 Queen`s Quay West, Toronto, ON
