News clippings are played over a series of meticulously composed shots of Chula Vista, California, where our unseen protagonist--an undocumented Mexican family-- is unexpectedly deported to Tijuana, Mexico. An homage to Chantal Akerman's structural film News from Home, News from Chula/Juana is a geopolitical meditation on the cultural anxieties and alienation faced by millions of deportees today. 89 min. Color. HD. Doors open at 7pm, Film premieres at 8pm. Q&A to follow.
