Casa De Mi Padre

8:00pm Red Carpet • 9:00pm Screening

The Festival begins with a special screening of Will Ferrell’s latest movie, Casa De Mi Padre.  Scheming on a way to save their father’s ranch, the Alvarez brothers (Will Ferrell and Diego Luna) find themselves in a war with Mexico’s most feared drug lord (Gael García Bernal).  The movie is billed as “from the Gringos that brought you Anchorman!”  This is the first special screening of the film and admission is by invitation only.  Will Ferrell, Diego Luna and other stars from the movie will be in attendance for this red carpet event. Casa De Mi Padre is in Spanish with English subtitles.

Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his father’s ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch faces financial strains, Armando’s younger brother Raul (Diego Luna) shows up with his new fiancée, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez) and pledges to settle all his father’s debts. It seems that Raul’s success as an international businessman means the ranch’s troubles are over, but when Armando falls for Sonia, and Raul’s business dealings turn out to be less than legit, the Alvarez family finds themselves in a full-out war with Mexico’s most feared drug lord, the mighty Onza (Gael Garcia Bernal).
