and followed by

Q&A with author HÉCTOR ABAD FACIOLINCE moderated by FERNANDO TRAVESÍ

MEMORIES OF MY FATHER describes the life of Héctor Abad Gómez, a doctor and a human rights activist concerned with both his own children and the children of the underprivileged classes in the violent 1970s in Medellin, Colombia. At his home, you can breathe the vitality and creativity that are the result of a progressive education based on tolerance and love. But driven by sadness and rage when a terrible cancer takes the life of one of his daughters, Héctor devotes himself to the social and political causes of the time, without regard to his personal safety. This is an intimate story seen through the eyes of his only son, Héctor Abad Faciolince, one of the most outstanding writers in contemporary Colombia .

The Opening Night Party will feature Cuban piano phenom Dayramir González with special guest singer and artist Willard Morgan.  Of González, Carnegie Hall writes “This Afro-Cuban pianist, composer, and arranger is setting the Latin jazz world on fire in America.”

*In accordance with NYC law, all film festival attendees are required to demonstrate full vaccination against COVID-19 before entering the theater. Please bring proof of vaccination plus a photo ID to show to festival staff.
