The substantial strengths of earlier work by filmmaking partners David Redmon and Ashley Sabin (“Kamp Katrina,” “Mardi Gras: Made in China”) are on display in “Intimidad,” a four-year glimpse at the lives of a young couple, Cecy and Camilo Ramirez, and their struggles to make a life for themselves and to be able to reunite with their young daughter, who they’ve left with Cecy’s mother. How do globalization, bank bailouts, debt swaps and thoughtless policymaking affect the world? On the smallest level. In the most disadvantaged lives. Redmon and Sabin’s visual sense is often poetic, interspersing 16mm material with DV, and “Intimidad” is ultimately appreciative of small victories, even hopeful. 71m. The filmmakers will appear at Friday and Saturday screenings. (Ray Pride)
