A fragile, anxious boy, 12-year-old Oskar is regularly bullied by his stronger classmates but never strikes back. The lonely boy’s wish for a friend seems to come true when he meets Eli, also 12, who moves in next door to him with her father. A pale, serious young girl, she only comes out at night and doesn’t seem affected by the freezing temperatures. Coinciding with Eli’s arrival is a series of inexplicable disappearances and murders. One man is found tied to a tree, another frozen in the lake, a woman bitten in the neck. Blood seems to be the common denominator - and for an introverted boy like Oskar, who is fascinated by gruesome stories, it doesn’t take long before he figures out that Eli is a vampire. Swedish filmmaker Tomas Alfredson weaves friendship, rejection and loyalty into a disturbing and darkly atmospheric, yet poetic and unexpectedly tender tableau of adolescence. Let The Right One In is based on the best-selling novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist.

Filmmaker Roberto Areval, a visiting instructor GSU and artist in residence at the Digital Aquarium, will be present to discuss the films. This screening is presented by Band of Outsiders.
A Cuban Family
This is a poetic portrait of an Afro-Cuban family living in Marianado, a modest neighborhood in Havana. Through their daily interactions they reflect on the challenges, pleasures and sense of purpose that shape their lives. The video highlights in a meticulous and intimate manner the musical, sexual, linguistic and culinary attitudes of Cubans. Their sense of humor, and connection with extended family members and neighbors are weaved together to present a painting of Cuba using the most powerful representation of a culture: the family.
A Cuban Thought
From Havana, Cuba, twenty-five year old Cuban Clarissa Martinez shares poetry and thoughts from her diary as she explores her neighborhood and her home. Her constant analysis of herself, capitalism, communism and love, takes us on a journey of personal, cultural, and political examination.Her love for Cuba, her passion for history, literature, art and her struggle to connect with others becomes a metaphor for the complex realities of young Cubans living in a post-modern Cuba.
