 Wicked Queer: The Boston LGBT Film Festival and MFA Film presents a weekend of queer Mexican films with Una Lengua muy Poderosa: Contemporary Queer Films of Mexico. Running September 7 – 10, these films use queer stories and characters to examine questions of sexism, crime, class, and Mexico’s colonial history and offering a very different view of the country than that seen through American pop culture.
