Tonight's Cinema Closing EVENT FREE PASSES
(Feel free to share!)
The Houston Cinema Arts Festival’s Closing night is today, and film passes are still available! It has been a Herculean effort by Artistic Director, Jessica Green and I am totally in awe of what she has accomplished this year during a pandemic. Please consider supporting by purchasing one of these films ($10.00) to view.

We close out tonight with “The Night of the Kings” on the virtual platform, and at the Houston Ballet Drive-in @ 7:30pm.
This is the Ivory Coast’s official submission to the 2020 Academy Awards for the Best Foreign Language Oscar and is a work of gripping cinema from breakout Ivory Coast filmmaker Philippe Lacôte.
TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
*Another [FREE] performance still available is Take Me to The Water, co-presented with Buffalo Bayou, Urban Souls, Cistern, and Houston Media Source. This spiritual moment through performance pays homage to the sacred rite of passage of being baptized in the Black Church, and features Houston’s own Harrison Guy. This performance uses music, dance, multimedia, and poetry to whisper to the waters and listen as it recalls.
I know it’s a crazy time and schedules conflict. Hope you can join in – if not, look for what’s sure to be a fabulous hybrid Festival in November 2021!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Ivory Coast’s official submission to the 2020 Academy Awards for the Best Foreign Language Oscar, this movie is a work of gripping cinema from breakout Ivory Coast filmmaker Philippe Lacôte. The film takes place at the Maca correctional facility in Abidjan run by inmates and dominated by superstition. Upon the rising of a red moon, a newly arrived prisoner is selected by the autocratic Lord Black Beard to assume the position of “Roman” (storyteller). Like Scheherazade in Arabian Nights, the new prisoner must entertain his fellow inmates with wild tales or risk his own life, so he shares the story of Zama, his old friend who became a legendary crime boss. This is part of the Urbana section.
