Beba

Archive Film at Fabrica (23 March 2023, 6.00pm - 9.30pm)
A young NYC born and bred Afro-Latina stares down historical, societal, and generational trauma with unflinching courage.
As part of Women's History Month in March 2023, Fabrica’s 18-25 Film Programmers groupFresh Perspectives have chosen the documentary ‘Beba.’ An honest exploration into identity as a young black woman in contemporary America.



The director Rebeca ‘Beba’ Huntt, born to a Dominican father and Venezuelan mother, takes the viewer through a reflective journey of her childhood. Through her own identity Huntt explores societal, historical and generational trauma. Traversing a political mine-field of racial tension in America, Huntt navigates through as an Afro-Latino creative, finding her own knowledge and power in a society, whilst answering the fundamentally universal question; what, as human beings, connects us?

“An insightful, engaging and all-around affirmational auto-portrait from an Afro-Latina New Yorker with an ear for poetry and an eye for the ineffable, “Beba” never questions its own right to exist.”
