A decade before the U.S.-Mexican War, Mexico is still suffering the aftermath of a devastating war of independence from Spain. To the north, the United States is expanding its territory at a pace that alarms the Mexican government. Led by a band of rebels composed primarily of U.S. immigrants, Texas breaks free from Mexico and declares its independence. Tensions mount when Texas is later annexed by the United States. Faced with Mexico's refusals to sell any of its land, U.S. President James K. Polk is willing to use force to fulfill his ambitious plans for expansion. ¡Cine Club!

		About ¡Cine Club! ¡Cine Club! is a monthly film and video series presentation of the San Diego Latino Film Festival. It is a way for the festival to screen works that for one reason or another will never make it into a mainstream festival; maybe it is because of time constraints, or artistic sensibilities; maybe the work is too slow or experimental for a mainstream audience. What it is never is an attempt to hide these works in some kind of experimental closet.. These are all important films and videos that The San Diego Latino Film Festival is proud to present to an increasingly sophisticated and discerning viewing public. ¡Cine Club!, which takes place once a month at the San Diego Public Library, will explore issues ranging from class study (The Continuing Influence of Cantinflas) , the Mexican-American War, to Chicanos in Vietnam (Aztlán and Viet Nam). We have been careful not to be didactic in our programming but to also include smart narrative pieces set in today such as A Day Without A Mexican, and a program of new Mexican videos featuring the top avante-garde videographers working in Mexico today. Hopefully we are continuing the tradition of the Mexican film salons but updating it to include contemporary Latino works. We encourage you to come, watch, listen, and engage yourself in dialogue about new Latino Film & Video and life. Funding for Cine Club: Monthly Latino Film & Video Series was generously provided by the California Council for the Humanities. Cne Club sponsored by Peet's Coffee & Tea and Zen Bakery.
