El grill de César (Cesar’s Grill)
Darío Aguirre, Germany, Switzerland, 2013, 88 min. Spanish with German subtitles
Preceded by a book market by independent Latin American editorials and Latin American sounds.
Followed by a talk with Darío Aguirre and a Salsa set by Ale Borea aka DJ Concolón.
Unfolding through intimate and tender images, Cesar’s Grill is a story of migration, familial proximity and distance, and of belonging and identity as something that shifts across places, times, and relationships, that is continually renegotiated. As one of the few films addressing this experience within the context of Europe and Latin America—more specifically between Ecuador and Germany—it renders visible a reality that often remains unseen. As part of Marcos Sensibles: Ecos Latinoamericanos (Tender Frames: Latin American Echoes), it becomes the starting point for a shared space of resonance, where diasporic experiences can be felt, linger, and be held collectively.
After the screening, everyone is invited to gather in HANE where Salsa rhythms by Ale Borea aka DJ Concolón will open a space to encounter, dance or continue the conversation with the filmmaker.
