I Am a Politician / Yo Soy un Político – Genre: Comedy
Puerto Rico/2016/90 min.
Directed by Javier Colón Ríos
Spanish w/ English Subtitles
Politics are considered a national sport in Puerto Rico. So, unavoidably, 2016 saw the release of not one but two political satires in the island. And we have them both! “I Am a Politician” follows Carlos, a former filmmaker recently released from jail, who with the help of cellmate Cangry, decides to run for governor of the island. But running for one party won’t be enough, so he approaches each of the island’s three main parties, pitching his candidacy to the highest bidder. This hilarious satire explores the most ridiculous and outrageous aspects of Puerto Rican politics.
La política es el deporte nacional de Puerto Rico. Así que, inevitablemente, 2016 vio el estreno en la isla de no una sino dos sátiras políticas. ¡Y el Festival tiene las dos! “Yo soy un político” sigue a Carlos, un ex director de cine recientemente puesto en libertad, que con la ayuda de su compañero de celda Cangry decide postularse para gobernador de la isla. Postularse para un partido no será suficiente, así que se acerca a cada uno de los tres partidos principales para vender su candidatura al mejor postor. Esta hilarante sátira explora los aspectos más ridículos y estrafalarios de la política puertorriqueña.
Shown with: Fifi Patelito goes to the D.M.V (Short)
