Synopsis

Reflecting on her childhood in New York City as the daughter of a Dominican father and Venezuelan mother, director Rebeca “Beba” Huntt investigates the historical, societal, and generational trauma she’s inherited, while considering the universal truths that connect us all as humans.

Our take

Titled after her childhood nickname, Rebeca Huntt’s raw and therapeutic debut boldly turns the prying lens on herself, warts and all. Tending to the familial roots that cultivate her practice as an Afro-Latina artist, Beba confronts the limits of assimilation with poetic rigor and political urgency.
