NAME OF FILM: THE CHAMBERMAID (LA CAMARISTA)

DIRECTOR(S): Lila Avilés

GENRE: Drama Film

SYNOPSIS: Lila Avilés turns the monotonous workday of Eve (Gabriela Cartol), a chambermaid at a high-end Mexico City hotel, into a beautifully observed film of rich detail. Set entirely in this alienating environment, with extended scenes taking place in the guest rooms, hallways, and cleaning facilities, this minimalist yet sumptuous movie brings to the fore Eve’s hopes, dreams, and desires.
