Aro Tolbukhin: En la Mente del Asesino Director: Agustí Villaronga, Isaac P. Racine and Lydia Zimmermann Spain/Mexico, 2002, 94 min., 35mm Spanish with Subtitles Screenings: Thursday, March 11, 4:00 pm Monday, March 15, 7:00 pm Wednesday, March 17, 10:00 pm Friday, March 19, 5:00 pm In 1981, Hungarian merchant marine Aro Tolbukhin was arrested for burning seven people alive in a Guatemalan mission. After confessing to seventeen other gruesome murders, Tolbukhin was given the death sentence. The criminal investigation, however, suggested that Tolbukhin confessed to murders he may not have actually committed. 20-year old 16mm and Super-8 footage is combined with contemporary interviews, subjective reenactments, TV news reports, press clippings and negative-image sequences to tell the story of a death row inmate whose own crimes may have been works of fiction. A profound work of experimental, visual eclecticism and fractured factuality. Winner of multiple Ariel awards and Mexico’s official Foreign Film entry into the Academy Awards. For mature audiences.
