Borderlands Studios Master Class and Screening Series: Cecilia Aldarondo

The border is at the center of America’s political and cultural conversation, yet too often, the voices of those who know it best are left out. Borderlands Studios presents a powerful new series of master classes and screenings featuring our Borderlands Visionary Fellows, four groundbreaking filmmakers whose work challenges, reimagines and reshapes how we see the connections and conflicts between north and south, past and present."

Join acclaimed filmmaker and Guggenheim Fellow Cecilia Aldarondo for her master class “Dispatches from the In-Between: Diasporic Liminalities in the Work of Cecilia Aldarondo,” in which she reflects on the ever-present tension between aquí y allá – here and there – that permeates her films. Participants will have the opportunity to mix and mingle with Aldarondo during a catered reception following the master class. The evening will end with a screening of Aldarondo’s documentary “You Were My First Boyfriend,” in which she revisits her 1990s adolescence a generation after she thought she'd left it all behind.
