REGISTER HERE

Welcome to the 13th Annual Bridges to the World International Film Festival, sponsored by World Artists Experiences in partnership with the embassies of Mozambique, Latvia, Mexico, Japan, and Egypt. The 2021 theme is in recognition of bridging the people and cultures of the world with those in communities throughout Maryland.

For this year's edition, the Mexican Cultural Institute DC & Naxos en Español presents: Redes (The Wave), a collaboration between Silvestre Revueltas, Paul Strand, and co-directors Emilio Gómez Muriel and Fred Zinneman, the film proved to be an innovative and seminal work that not only launched Mexico’s golden age of cinema (1935–1960), but also created a new form of semi-documentary filmmaking. It demonstrates a clear political and aesthetic link to the Soviet Cinema of the era, particularly the shooting and editing styles of Eisenstein and Pudovkin.

In this restored version, the music of Silvestre Revueltas was recorded by the Post-Classical Ensemble, under the direction of Ángel Gil-Ordoñez.

Co-Directed by: Emilio Gómez Muriel and Fred Zinnemann
