	“…a rich exploration of the aesthetics of film as an art form

relevance in life.” – Eduardo Navas, THE HUFFINGTON POST 

	“The filmmaker has a gift of briefly putting the audience on the
wrong track and surprising him again and again by unexpected
incidents.” James Napier Robertson, JUROR, CURAÇAO INTERNATIONAL
FILM FESTIVAL ROTTERDAM

	COWS WEARING GLASSES (LAS VACAS CON GAFAS)
Alex Santiago Pérez / 90 min / 2014 / Puerto Rico / Spanish with
English subtitles 
Directed by one of the most talented emerging filmmakers coming out of
the new wave of Puerto Rican cinema, COWS WEARING GLASSES uses a
subtle sense of humor to touch upon issues of aging. Marso, a lonely,
eccentric painter and art professor, is losing his sight. As the
world he knew comes to an end, he is now forced to re-examine an
existence filled with professional successes but
unsatisfying personal relationships. With an impeccable performance
by Daniel Lugo as Marso, COWS WEARING GLASSES is a reflexive tale of
a man facing the inevitable.
