Program 10
¿Dónde Están? - Scottish artist Jan Nimmo was moved to action to by the forced disappearance of 43 unarmed college students in Ayotzinapa, Guerrero, Mexico. These mostly young men in their 20s, were studying to become teachers at a college in rural Ayotzinapa. On September 26, 2014 they traveled on buses and vans to nearby Iguala for a protest about lack of funding for their school. They haven't been seen or heard from since. This is Jan's visual tribute for the Ayotzinapa 43+3+2 (Mexico &amp; UK, 2015, 5 min) 
The Second Mother - An excitingly fresh take on some classic themes and ideas, centering around Val, a hard-working live-in housekeeper in modern day Sao Paulo. Val is perfectly content to take care of every one of her wealthy employers’ needs, from cooking and cleaning to being a surrogate mother to their teenage son, who she has raised since he was a toddler. But when Val’s estranged daughter Jessica suddenly shows up the unspoken but intrinsic class barriers that exist within the home are thrown into disarray. Jessica is smart, confident, and ambitious, and refuses to accept the upstairs/downstairs dynamic, testing relationships and loyalties and forcing everyone to reconsider what family really means. (Brazil, 2015, 112 min)
