PROBLEMISTA

April 18 – May 2, 2024
Problemista
Alejandro is an aspiring toy designer from El Salvador, struggling to bring his unusual ideas to life in New York City. As time on his work visa runs out, a job assisting an erratic art-world outcast becomes his only hope to stay in the country and realize his dream. From writer/director Julio Torres comes a surreal adventure through the equally treacherous worlds of New York City and the U.S. Immigration system.

“There is so much rich material in the absurdity: how immigrants and artists crave to be seen, how modern systems eat up people, how we try to cheat death and how technology doesn’t live up to its promise.” – Mark Kennedy, Associated Press

“Problemista maintains a consistently funny and clever rhythm.” – Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com

“This absurdist comedy becomes a beautifully moving piece about how we make it through the world with desperation and hope, and the hard-earned lessons we find in each other.” – Katie Walsh, Tribune News Service
