It Runs In The Family made by Victoria Linares plays a part in The Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival (HSDFF).
The screening is taking place on the 10th of October at 14.00.
A revelation about Oscar Torres, her unknown and once world-famous queer filmmaker cousin, sends Victoria down a path of self-discovery through reconstructions of his intimate memories living in the 1950s authoritarian Caribbean, as Victoria leads re-enactments of his unproduced screenplays with the family who erased him.
Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival (HSDFF) is the longest running all-documentary festival in North America and is an Oscar® qualifying festival for ‘Documentary Short Subject’ by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. MovieMaker Magazine has added HSDFF to its annual list of “Top 50 Festivals Worth the Entry Fee” from a field of close to 7000 festivals. With the help of a small paid staff and over 100 dedicated volunteers, the film festival benefits the region by providing an affordable arts festival that offers the best in documentary film, educational panels and workshops, exposure to internationally acclaimed filmmakers, special guests, and access to some of the best special events in central Arkansas. Through strategic outreach, HSDFF seeks to discover, support and inspire diverse documentary filmmakers and champion a southern film community that reflects the full breadth of experience and story in the American South.
