"Hyphen" Virtual Film Screening

Don’t miss a screening of Hyphen, a short film by Maria Servellón, an award-winning filmmaker, multimedia artist, educator, and arts advocate from Boston, MA. The screening of the film on October 3rd at 6:00 pm will be followed by a discussion between the filmmaker and Paloma Valenzuela of La Gringa Loca Productions and a Q&A with audience members. For Zoom links, visit Hyde Square Task Force’s Facebook page or website.

Hyphen is a magic realist, short fiction film based on the director’s own memories and experiences. It follows four character versions on a transformative chronicle: Mimi, Maia, Mia, Ria. They learn to use imaginative forms of art, dance, and music to realize each of their dreams, fears, and achievements. Conjuring the impalpable power of creativity, they are able to overcome different challenges to create their own identities past cultural and gender expectations.

This event is part of Hyde Square Task Force’s virtual event series for Latinx Heritage Month. For more information, contact Sarah at sarah@hydesquare.org or (617) 318-6610.
