PSIFF film about Venezuela tries to educate, bring awareness to broader audience
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) – "It Would Be Night in Caracas" was filmed in Mexico, but is set in Venezuela during the 2027 protests. It is being screened during the Palm Springs International Film Festival where it is describes as a "gripping thriller [that] follows a woman trapped in a city consumed by chaos."
Hebe Tabachnik, a senior programmer of the Palm Springs International Film Festival said she believes films like "It Would Be Night In Caracas" help people understand more of what is going on in the world. This comes after President Donald Trump announced the US will "run" Venezuela, after capturing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife in a large-scale military operation.
"I think it will enlighten people in terms of some of the context." Tabachnik said. "It's not dealing directly with, of course, what's going on right now, but I think festivals and movies and stories in general, help people understand a little bit more what it's going on in the world."
