Join us at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) for a special screening of the Un Certain Regard winning film The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo, playing as part of Latin Wave.

Set in a dusty Chilean mining town in 1982, The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo follows young Lidia as she grows up within a vibrant household led by drag performers and trans women. When a mysterious illness sows fear and hysteria, the community becomes the target of suspicion and violence. In his debut feature, Diego Céspedes crafts a haunting allegory of love, myth, and prejudice, reimagining the early AIDS era as a western infused with poetic intimacy and desert-dry surrealism. Winner of the Un Certain Regard Award at the Cannes Film Festival, this potent period drama honors Chile’s proud legacy of queer cinema while confronting bigotry with both vengeance and compassion.
