El Violin is released on the 31st March by Soda Pictures and to celebrate Movimientos is hosting a special DVD launch screening:-

Elderly Don Plutarco (Tavira), his son Genaro and grandson Lucio are humble rural musicians who also support the campesina peasant guerilla movement’s armed efforts. When the military seizes their village, the inhabitants flee, leaving ammunition behind. Playing on his appearance as a harmless violin player to secure the trust of the vain captain (who fancies himself as a musician), old Don Plutarco has a plan to recover the ammunition through charm and steely nerves. Beautifully shot in black and white, EL VIOLÍN is anchored on the amazing performance by Tavira (an actual violinist) and Gama as the captain. Through its juxtaposition of gorgeous images and shocking violence, the film evokes the struggle between peasants and government, duty and pleasure

Monthly Nights & Special Events

Movimientos hosts two monthly nights - one in Angel at the Salmon and Compass bar, and more recently at the Notting Hill Arts Club, Notting Hill. Both nights pack in crowds and have generated a following of Latin music aficionados, documentary film buffs and politically conscious groups and individuals. These regular nights have been listed in Time Out magazine as “especially recommended” for quite some time.

The Native Spirit Film & Video Festival of the Indigenous Peoples of the Three Americas 2007 will be the first festival of its kind in the UK, showcasing some outstanding and innovative films about the indigenous peoples of North, South and Central America. This landmark event will take viewers on an unforgettable journey, delving into the most remote and mysterious corners of the Americas, offering the British public a fresh cultural viewpoint and the unique opportunity to learn about some of the world's oldest surviving and most marginalised communities.
