Lila Avilés’ debut feature THE CHAMBERMAID is a NY Times Critics’ Pick and recently won for Best First Film at the Ariel Awards (Mexico's Academy Awards)! “Quietly stunning … After you’ve seen it, the world looks differently” says A.O. Scott.
Synopsis: A deluxe Mexico City hotel feels confining for Eve (Gabriela Cartol), a chambermaid whose days are filled with making beds, cleaning bathrooms, and running interference for a panoply of precious guests demanding special attention. As she yearns for independence within and beyond the confines of the hotel's luxury walls, her hopes and desires materialize alongside a seething anger sparked by a newly feminist streak.
The Workers Unite Film Festival is a ten day long celebration in NYC of films from around the world about worker's lives and their struggles for dignity and labor rights. The festival is held the second week in May each year at the historic Cinema Village, just South of Union Square in Manhattan. New locations are added each season.
The 11th Workers Unite Film Festival WAs made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and administered by LMCC.
