Santo Domingo.– The III Dominican Global Film Festival will be inaugurated in Nagua next Thursday November 17th with US-Mexico production, “Sin Nombre.”  On Thursday the 19th, Shalim Ortiz and cast members of “Touched” will interact with the public.

“Sin Nombre,” winner of the Excellence in Directing Award and Excellence in Cinematography Award at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival will show at 8:00 pm after a red carpet ceremony at the Regional Center of the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo in Nagua (CURNA in Spanish). 

The event in Nagua is made possible with support from CURNA Director Ramon E. Amparo and the Regional Office of the Ministry of Culture.

Members of the Festival’s organizing team will present “Sin Nombre” by director Cary Joji Fukunaga. In his debut feature film, Fukunaga skillfully blends various genres including suspense, the social drama of illegal immigration, a love story and a western. This film is considered to be the most moving and best told story about Latin American immigrants to the United States since “El Norte” came out in 1983.
