Padre Nuestro Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007] Director: Christopher Zalla, Country: USA, Release: 2007, Runtime: 105 On the run in his native Mexico, Juan makes a quick getaway by jumping on a truck carrying illegal migrants to New York City. One of the other travelers is Pedro, a young man about Juan’s age who hopes to link up in New York with his father Diego. Since he doesn’t know Diego, Pedro carries a letter of introduction written by his mother. Arriving in New York, Juan disappears—and so have Pedro’s belongings and his letter. Grand Jury Prize winner at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Christopher Zalla’s beautifully shot, extraordinarily impressive first feature offers a new riff on the immigrant theme of re-inventing oneself in America. Born in Kenya, Christopher Zalla worked summers as a salmon fisherman in Alaska before earning an MFA from Columbia University’s graduate film program. Padre Nuestro is his first feature film. Sat Mar 31: 9:00pm at the Walter Reade Theater Sun Apr 1: 1:00pm at The Museum of Modern Art
