Join fellow film lovers, including notables Daniela Michel and Alexander Payne, for a screening of the 1954 classic La Otra (The Other One).

Described as the “time-honored Evil Twin plot,” this distinctlly Mexican tale follows Dolores del Rio, returning to Mexico from her Hollywood period, who plays the central dual role, as a meek, bespectacled manicurist and her mercenary, man-eating sister. But in this case, envy proves to be a greater sin than avarice.

Following the screening, hear about the impact this film has made in cinematic canon by two major film buffs: Daniela Michel and Alexander Payne.

Daniela Michel is the Founding Director of the Morelia International Film Festival, an annual event launched in 2003 to support and promote a new generation of Mexican filmmakers. She has curated major retrospectives of Mexican classic cinema in and outside Mexico. Michel has also served on the jury for many prestigious festivals, including the Cannes Film Festival, the Berlin International Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, the Sundance Film Festival, and more.

Omaha's own Alexander Payne is the director of 11 feature-length films, including the 2023 film nominated for five Academy Awards®, The Holdovers. He is a two-time Oscar® winner for Best Director, and a two-time nominee for the Cannes Film Festival's prestigious Palme d'Or.
