WHAT: A documentary about a giant stone carving, moved from a town on the outskirts of Mexico City to a museum in the city center in 1964. Ever since, residents of the town have felt the stone's absence has caused droughts, etc. This is from the film's website; I have not found any reviews in the English language.
WHERE/WHEN: Tonight only at the DeYoung Museum's Koret Auditorium at 6:30.
WHY: In addition to an opportunity to check out a rarely-utilized screening space, whose extreme rake makes it one of the best in the city in terms of sight lines, this is the last screening of the CINE+MAS Latino Film Festival. More film festivals are running this weekend; the Iranian Film Festival includes a film with an Abbas Kiarostami screenplay, as well as fests in Oakland and Sonoma County. Best of all, tonight's screening is free.
HOW: I believe the Koret is only equipped to project digitally.
