Latin American Film Festival Screening + Q&A: Buy Me A Gun

Join the Film Society of Lincoln Center for the New York Premiere of BUY ME A GUN, featuring a Q&A with director Julio Hernández Cordón. The seventh film by Meso-American filmmaker Julio Hernández Cordón (I Promise You Anarchy, ND/NF 2016) is a harrowing, blistering vision of 21st-century Mexico. In the near future, when women are endangered and the only order comes from the lawless and elusive cartel, a young girl named Huck (Matilde Hernández Guinea) must hide her gender in order to help her tormented drug addict father (Rogelio Sosa) manage an abandoned baseball field. Absurdist, macabre, and exhilarating, this highlight from the 2018 Cannes Directors’ Fortnight is like a cross between The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Mad Max, told through Hernández Cordón’s lo-fi futurist visual style. Part of Neighboring Scenes: New Latin American Cinema at the Film Society of Lincoln Center.
