The Moody College’s Latino Media Arts and Studies Program, Cine Las Americas, and Malakita Productions present Canción de invierno/Wintersong  (2020), directed by Silvana Lázaro. This is the fourth film in our bi-weekly film series, “Mexico Through the Lens of Women Filmmakers,” which runs from February 21 through April 4, 2023, here at the University of Texas at Austin.

Synopsis: Danielle, a young musician, sets off on a journey with Diego, her best friend, while both of them face the pain of breaking up with their partners. Ending up at the north border of Mexico, they’ll have to use their abilities as musicians to survive as they get to know the complicated context between the US and Mexico. Two broken hearts, two friends, a road trip, a new lover, but fundamentally, a deep need to find themselves. 

Danielle, una joven guitarrista, decide emprender un viaje con su mejor amigo, mientras ambos enfrentan el duelo de un rompimiento amoroso. Esto los llevará a conocer el complejo contexto fronterizo, donde tendrán que usar sus habilidades como músicos para sobrevivir. Dos corazones rotos, dos amigos, un viaje en carretera, un nuevo amor y una profunda necesidad de encontrarse a sí mismos, hace a “Canción de Invierno” una película sobre la juventud.
