DESCRIPTION:Join us for our screening of 'Mitote' (2012)\, with an introdu
 ction and Q&A with the director Eugenio Polgovsky in person!\n\nA shaman's
  mystical invocations\, a protest of furious electricians on hunger strike
  and an euphoric football crowd collide in the Zocalo of Mexico City\, the
  country's central square and ancient ceremonial heart of the Aztec empire
 . Mitote (Nahuatl for chaos or celebration) transforms the plaza into a wr
 estling ring\, where national commemorations\, postmodern rituals and the 
 remains of pre-hispanic culture clash at the beat of a country enraged.\n\
