Cine Nostalgia to celebrate centennial birthday of German Valdés (Tin Tan) by showing more than 40 of his movies

Cine Nostalgia celebrates the 30+ years cinematographic career and centennial birthday of German Valdés, most commonly known as Tin Tan. Tin Tan is one of the earliest, most famous and celebrated comedians of a transnational culture that originated in the U.S. –Mexican borderland of the 30’s and 40’s–, and perhaps, the most active representative of a cross-cultural form of expression that mixed the Mexican and American heritages resulting in a new refreshing and brilliant comedy style. “Tin Tan grows in the border town of Chihuahua and soon takes part of the music, fashions, verbal and cultural repertoire of the Mexican American generation, at the time called ‘Pachucos’, which takes Mexico City by storm and projects him to stardom. This successful Mexican comedian of exceptional talent, grace and unmatched versatility exploited its prodigy by starring more than 90 films and brightening the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. Cine Nostalgia has the majority of Tin Tan movies, a superior offer not comparable with any other Spanish movie channel to date. In the centenary of Tin Tan’s birth, Cine Nostalgia pays tribute to his extraordinary career with a movie marathon and special productions”, said Carlos Vasallo, president and CEO of Cine Nostalgia. Cine Nostalgia will showcase throughout the month of September an anthology of Tin Tan with more than 40 titles in three daily functions from Monday to Sunday (at 11:15am, 1:15pm and 11:15pm ET). And on Saturday, September 19th, in celebration of his birthday, Cine Nostalgia will host a movie marathon of 24 hours with the best titles of Tin Tan films.
