ABIGAIL CHILD'S
ACTS AND INTERMISSIONS
Monday, November 13 (7:30PM)

Co-presented by Aurora Picture Show
and Houston Cinema Arts Festival
Filmmaker Abigail Child in attendance

Free Admission

Aurora and HCAF are pleased to co-present the Houston premiere of renowned filmmaker Abigail Child’s new film, Acts and Intermissions. This hour-long experimental documentary connects the prescient speeches and personal diaries of anarchist political activist Emma Goldman (1869-1940) with an exploration of the resurgence of protest in the 21st century. A hybrid of various-era archival material and contemporary footage, the time-traveling Acts and Intermissions brings to light Goldman’s impassioned freedom fighting as it exposes continuing conflicts between labor and property, and between revolutionary purity and personal freedom. Filmmaker Abigail Child will be in attendance for the screening and will have a brief Q&A after the film. 

Admission is free and first come, first served at the door. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.
