In-person Screening on April 27

Feature Film  

It Runs in the Family (Victoria Linares Villegas / 2022 / Dominican Republic / 84’) 
Victoria Linares is a filmmaker from the Dominican Republic. Her late uncle, Oscar Torres, was also a filmmaker, a pioneering artist who became virtually forgotten. A revelation concerning Oscar sends Victoria down a path of (self-)discovery, through reconstructions of Oscar’s intimate memories of living in the Caribbean in the 1950s and early 1960s, first under the Trujillo dictatorship in the DR, then in Fidel Castro’s Cuba. In an attempt to honor Oscar’s memory, Victoria leads enactments of his unproduced screenplays with the family who erased him.

Short Film

Dadli (Shabier Kirchner / 2018 / Antigua / 14’)  
In this impressionistic documentary portrait, Tiquan, a 13-year-old Antiguan, recounts bits of his daily life in his small village and community. Shabier Kirchner, born and raised in Antigua and Barbuda, travels the world as a cinematographer and was selected as one of the 10 Cinematographers to Watch by Variety (2018). Dadli is Shabier’s first work as a director.
