All of us here at Cine+Mas are super excited to start 2019!! We have a pretty busy lineup of co-presentations to get you outside with your friends and into a good show. Kicking off SF’s busy festival year is SF’s Indie Film Festival with their TWENTY FIRST event series.
This year we co-present the first psychological horror film made in Cuba–which is also making its US premiere. A Chilean stop motion, a fun wine film from Napa and a local SF filmmaker also screen this February. See the listings below.

In La Casa Lobo a young woman emerges from the walls and melts into the floor, paintings cry, a tree grows in a living room and pigs transform into children. Drawing on both fairy tale and surrealisic elements, this stop motion puppet film is both visually and emotionally stunning.

Lush and luxurious, Napa and Sonoma are known for their top-notch wine making. The unsung heroes of the industry are the vineyard workers who lovingly oversee all aspects of the wine-making process. We are immersed in the challenging and unpredictable process over the course of one of the most dramatic harvests in history
Collisions

USA, 88 min, Local
Sat Feb 9, 5p Roxie

Precocious 12-year-old Itan Bautista is forced to carry the weight of her family when her mother, played by Ana de la Reguera,  is detained by ICE in this San Francisco-set drama. Collisions is a breathtaking and timely first feature that reveals the devastating impact of draconian US immigration policy as it falls on one family.
Enjoy the festival and have a happy Valentines Day!
