The Film

Memories of a Burning Body (Costa Rica, 2024) Directed by Antonella Sudasassi Furniss. Starring Sol Carballo, Paulina Bernini, and Juliana Filloy.

Three women in their late sixties and early seventies — Ana, Patricia, and Mayela — came of age in an era when sexuality was never discussed. Now they finally say it all out loud. Their memories, secrets, and desires are woven together and given voice through the body of a fourth woman, in a film that won the Panorama Audience Award at the Berlin International Film Festival. Winner and honoree at the Chicago Latino Film Festival, this screening is your encore chance to catch it on the big screen.
