Yerba Buena Center for the Arts presents WE ARE MARI PEPA (SOMOS MARI PEPA) By Samuel Kishi Leopo
SEE EVENT DETAILS
“…a sweaty, urgent, beautifully honest bliss out.” —Village Voice
Funny, fresh, and hugely enjoyable, We Are Mari Pepa is the story of a teenage Guadalajara-based rock band. However, they only have two songs in their repertoire, both of which they have trouble playing. This is a sincere, rough-and-tumble portrait of contemporary Mexican youth culture and the endless quirks of adolescence. (2013, 95 min, DCP)
Samuel Kishi Leopo studied Audiovisual Arts at the University of Guadalajara. His short works have played at various festivals, including Claremont-Ferrand, Cannes, and Morelia. His short film Mari Pepa (2011) won the Ariel Award given by the Mexican Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences. We Are Mari Pepa marks his feature debut.
