BEBA

Rebecca Huntt, USA 2022, 80 Min., OV with English subs, digital

The first feature film of Rebeca “Beba” Huntt takes an unflinching look at her own identity in the remarkable coming-of-age documentary/cinematic memoir BEBA. Reflecting on her childhood and adolescence in New York City as the daughter of a Dominican father and Venezuelan mother, Huntt investigates the historical, societal, and generational trauma she’s inherited and ponders how those ancient wounds have shaped her, while simultaneously considering the universal truths that connect humans. Throughout the film, Huntt searches for a way to forge her own creative path amid a landscape of intense racial and political unrest.
