    Presented by Indie Memphis and the Brooks Museum of Art, the 2011 Global Lens Film Series is sponsored by the Friends of the Library, the Memphis Public Library & Information Center, the Memphis Flyer and the Global Film Initiative. The series promotes cross-cultural understanding through cinema and opens a window into the diverse world in which we live. In recent times, no medium has been as effective at communicating the range and diversity of the world's cultures as the cinematic arts.

    Set against the backdrop of Argentina's military regime of the 1980s, Diego Lerman's engrossing and beautifully acted exploration of the totalitarian urge opens with a portrait of Mari?a Teresa, a lonely and deeply repressed assistant teacher at an elite Buenos Aires private school. Obedient and willing, she accepts unquestioningly the school's rigid code of conduct and proud identification with the nation state. But her head professor's words about the "cancer of subversion" and need for total surveillance soon feed an unhealthy obsession with one of her students, leading to an ensuing spiral of degradation and breakdown in discipline that parallels a popular rebellion beyond the school’s ivy-covered walls.
