What we’re about
Welcome to our group! We welcome friends from all ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and age. We value diversity in all its forms and reject prejudice against immigrants and refugees. We watch and discuss valuable, meaningful movies. Please check out the many meetups already scheduled for the near future. We have a thing for edgy, boundary-pushing, and first of all foreign movies. Please keep in mind our no-show policy. If you can't attend a meetup you signed up for, please be kind and cancel your RSVP. After 3 no-shows, members are removed from our group for good.
Hope to see you soon.

- Let's watch "PROBLEMISTA" with Julio Torres and Tilda Swinton @ FACETS + dinnerFacets, Chicago, IL
An inventive, whimsical and delightfully oddball story of the immigrant experience, "Problemista" marks the writing and directing debut of Julio Torres. The protagonist is Alejandro (Julio Torres), an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador, who is struggling to bring his unusual ideas to life in New York City. As time on his work visa runs out, a job assisting an erratic art-world outcast (Tilda Swinton) becomes his only hope to stay in the country and realize his dream. From writer/director Julio Torres comes a surreal adventure through the equally treacherous worlds of New York City and the U.S. Immigration system.
