Latina Expressions
7 pm in Hoyt Auditorium
Sponsored by Spanish and
Latino Students’ Association and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority
Free and open to the public
Louis E. Perego Moreno, or "Tio
Louie," a well known producer & director, will be showing and having a
discussion about the documentary he produced and directed entitled "Latina
Confessions."
This film explores what it means to be Latina in the United States, as well as
the Madonna/Whore Complex and its impact on the development of Latina
sexuality.
About Tio Louie-
"Louis is an Interactive Content Producer. For 25 years, Louis has been
the President of SKYLINE FEATURES, an English and Spanish language multimedia
production and educational company focusing on trans-cultural, multicultural
and youth edutainment projects. Louis' extensive experience as a youth
counselor and his own cultural/sexual
identity struggles as a Bronx-born Latino gay man of mixed Cuban-Argentine
origin give a unique perspective to a documentary film on Latinas in the U.S.A.
This combination of backgrounds fosters a safe, comfortable environment evident
in the manner in which women express their most intimate feelings, risking
their reputations while challenging society’s expectations. What results is a
unique picture of take-charge individuals who forever challenge simplistic,
long-standing views of what it means to be Latina in the United States."
The film will be followed by a 60-90-minute discussion of the movie.
