About the screening

Dir. Natalia Cabral & Oriol Estrada | 2018 | Dominican Republic, Spain | 90 min 


We’re delighted to partner with fellow film collective Cinema Mentiré on this presentation of the wonderful coming-of-age drama Miriam Lies (Miriam Miente, 2018) from the Dominican Republic. We're also fortunate that co-director Natalia Cabral will be with us in person for a Q&A. Please join us for this special event, as we present a compelling film that dramatises issues that remain central to Caribbean society.


About the film


The quiet world of a petty bourgeois family begins to unravel from the moment 14-year-old Miriam meets her internet boyfriend. While her friends enthusiastically prepare the traditional quinceañera party, Miriam does not know how to explain to her family that her boyfriend is black.Miriam Miente joins a growing list of work from Dominican filmmakers that casts a light on the island's complex class and race dynamics.
