Mine of Crystals
Written by Mario Golden
Sunday, December 8, 2013 at 7pm
Salvador, a successful photographer, returns to his childhood town of Las Cruces in New Mexico on Day of the Dead to honor his mother Consuelo's recent passing. When encouraged to photograph crystals at a world-famous Mexican mine, Consuelo's spirit begins to show up in his dreams. As Salvador struggles to reconnect with her and make sense of his past, he must face all that his childhood has come to symbolize not only in his life, but also his mother's life.

La Negra
Written by Raquel Almazán
Tuesday, December 10, 2013 at 7pm
As the Day of the Dead approaches, drug cartel queen La Negra takes a ritualistic journey from child prostitute to patron saint of Mexican outcasts-- Santa Muerte. Siete, her top drug pusher and lover, a gringo tourist painter, and hundreds of street children inhabit her world towards light and peace. The citizens of Tijuana, police officers and skull figures of the night force her to face her relentless darkness. These light and dark symbolic forces within her battle for the future of Mexico itself.
