DESCRIPTION:Angel of Fire: Kahlo, Mexico, and Film\nJuly 31–August 30\nPhyllis Wattis 
 Theater\nAngel of Fire presents powerful and provocative films exploring 
 Frida Kahlo’s involvement in the cultural and political landscape of 
 Mexico, as well as her complex personal relationships. It includes work by 
 major international filmmakers (such as Sergei Eisenstein and Luis 
 Buñuel), classics of Mexican cinema, and a sampling of the many 
 documentaries that have taken Kahlo as their subject. Films are in Spanish 
 with English subtitles unless otherwise noted.\n\n¡Que viva 
 Mexico!\nSergei Eisenstein, 1931/1979, 85 min.\nSaturdays, August 9 and 16, 
 1 p.m.\nThursday, August 14, 7 p.m.\nHollywood was never a natural home to 
 Eisenstein, and with several projects rejected, it took little to persuade 
 him to follow Upton Sinclair south to create a film celebrating Mexico’s 
 culture, history, and revolution. The documentary—a hugely ambitious 
 project ranging from ancient Mayan civilization to the Spanish invasion to 
 the 1930s—ran out of funds and was abandoned. The unedited material 
 remained in Sinclair’s hands in the United States, and was carefully 
 assembled into this version of ¡Que viva Mexico! in 1979. The result is 
 one of the most beautiful documentaries ever made.\n\nTickets are available 
 at the museum (no surcharge) or through www.sfmoma.org/tickets (surcharge 
 applies).\n\n$5 general; free for SFMOMA members or with museum admission 
 (requires a free ticket, which can be picked up in the Haas Atrium). Double 
 features: films offered on the same date are included in one ticket.\n\n
