ALEX RIVERA at Flaherty NYC/Anthology Film Archives

This Monday, Flaherty NYC presents the short films of Alex Rivera, the acclaimed director of the geo-political immigration sci-fi thriller, Sleep Dealer (2008), which has been all around the world at film festivals in the past year (including Sundance, Berlin, Hamptons, Helsinki, and Rio de Janeiro). A rare cinematic treat, this showcase gives viewers the unique opportunity to watch the early works of this up-and-coming auteur including Papapapá (1995), Borders (2002), The Sixth Section (2003), and Why Cybraceros? (1997), about migrant workers who tele-commute to the USA via the Internet, which was later expanded into Sleep Dealer.

Showing Monday, January 12 at 7:30PM at Anthology Film Archives.
