Indulge your senses for a night of food, music, and film that blends horror, comedy, and Caribbean charm. MCA Denver and the Biennial of the Americas invite you to a pre-screening (pre-screaming?) party for the infectiously charming genre-bending film “Juan of the Dead.” Bites by Highland Tap and Burger. Beats by Yucasoul of Siembra Tropical.

After the reception, take your seat for the highly anticipated screening of Juan of the Dead, a Cuban horror-comedy that follows a group of friends who must fend off a zombie apocalypse in Havana with the help of their resident slacker, Juan. This film kicks off a summer of Cinema Azteca films curated by and presented in partnership with the Biennial of the Americas.

Cinema Azteca is an exciting film series that provides moviegoers with a diverse and dynamic perspective on the film traditions of Mexico and Latin America. Cinema Azteca is presented weekly on Tuesday nights at the Holiday Theater.
