Director Krisstian de Lara gets interviewed by KFOX-TV to speak about the premiere of border documentary short film El Chácharero at El Paso Film Festival. El Chácharero is the third chapter from a trilogy of documentaries that showcase the most shocking lives from the border community. This third film tells the unique story of a man that survives by picking up trash in downtown Juarez, Mexico, and its correlation between the US and Mexico border.

Newscast anchor, Robert Holguin, tells audiences that El Paso Film Festival kicked off with a master class and a screening by acclaimed director Robert Rodriguez launching a weekend of cinema in the borderland. Holguin continues while showing on screen images of El Chácharero, “The screenings continue today at El Paso Museum of Art and the Philanthropy Theater downtown. The festival runs through Sunday. Tomorrow, are number of screenings that will feature local filmmakers that includes this documentary here made by local filmmaker, Krisstian de Lara, its called El Chácharero which is the third installment in a trilogy of documentaries that showcase the difficult livelihoods of a select group of people in Ciudad Juarez. The filmmaker talked to me about what is like to be included in this year’s festival.” Krisstian adds,

It’s phenomenal for this second year to be part of this phenomenal festival and I’m excited to finally, aside from The Plaza Classic Film Festival, have another festival that support local filmmaking since there’s not enough and there are such great stories coming out of the border.
