Vickie Curtis and Doug Anderson’s documentary Comparsa, executive produced by Jayro Bustamante, is scheduled at DCTV Firehouse in New York from 9 to 15 October.
Selected screenings include Q&As with the filmmakers and Lesli Canela Pérez, a subject, co-writer and co-producer. The run spans the International Day of the Girl.
The film is a US/Guatemala production in Spanish with English subtitles. The announcement is for one engagement; it does not indicate a nationwide US rights deal.
Our reading
The plan links subject, timing and presence: concrete reasons to attend this screening now. The right yardstick is a comparable specialist engagement, not a national opening weekend.
