Tonight brings you two tales of quiet revolution. Enjoy a recent documentary about the 1941 trip that changed the course of Disney studios, then a darkly comedic look at a housemaid’s domestic takeover. In 1941, Walt Disney, his wife, and 16 of the studio’s most creative artists toured Latin America on a goodwill trip orchestrated by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Walt & El Grupo retraces this tour through home movies, rare newsreels, photographs, and interviews. The effects of this trip were immediately seen in Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros and influenced Disney films and ride attractions for decades to come. (106 mins., 35mm) Winner of two world cinema jury prizes at Sundance and a nominee for best foreign film in the Golden Globes, The Maid is a perfectly calibrated black comedy about Raquel, a housemaid for an upper-class family in Santiago, Chile. Practically a member of the family, Raquel is so devoted to her work that the family decides to assist her by hiring more help. This prompts the now-threatened Raquel to unleash mind games on the family she serves. (95 mins., 35mm) The Maid begins at 9 PM. Cinema Latino is cosponsored by the Hispanic Chamber of Columbus.
