SUMMARY:The Cheech Film Program - Screening of Sleep Dealer at The Cheech
DESCRIPTION: Join us for the launch of The Cheech Film program with a screening of Sleep Dealer and a following Q+A with Director Alex Rivera. Film Rated PG-13. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSleep Dealer is a science-fiction set on the U.S. / Mexico border that tells the story of Memo Cruz (Luis Fernando Peña)\, a young man from Mexico who dreams of coming to the United States. However\, in this brave new borderland\, crossing is impossible\, and Memo ‘migrates’ in a new way — over the net. By connecting his body to the net Memo controls a machine that performs his labor in America\, sending his pure work without the body of the worker. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Director\n\n\n\n Alex Rivera is an award-winning filmmaker whose work explores themes of globalization\, migration\, and technology.
