LOS HERMANOS/THE BROTHERS is co-presented with the Boston Latino International Film Festival.
Virtuoso Afro-Cuban-born brothers—violinist Ilmar and pianist Aldo—live on opposite sides of a geopolitical chasm a half-century wide. Tracking their parallel lives in New York and Havana, their poignant reunion, and their momentous first performances together, LOS HERMANOS/THE BROTHERS suggests what is possible when walls come down, and borders are crossed. A nuanced, intensely moving view of nations long estranged, through the lens of music and family. Featuring an electrifying, genre-bending score composed by Cuban Aldo López-Gavilán, performed with his American brother, Ilmar, with a guest appearance by violin maestro Joshua Bell and the Harlem Quartet.
This screening is followed by a recorded Q&A with directors Marcia Jarmel and Ken Schneider moderated by Meredith Goldstein, columnist for The Boston Globe.
GlobeDocs patrons are invited to view the film and join directors Marcia Jarmel & Ken Schneider of PatchWorks Films in a live "After Party" Zoom conversation and Q&A on October 4 at 8:30 pm ET. Please RSVP here and contact info@patchworksfilms.net with questions.
