Cinequest has welcomed The Duel to be a part of its festival this Spring, and I couldn't ask for a better time to revisit the Bay Area. The event, "showcases premier films, renowned and emerging artists, and breakthrough technology—empowering global connectivity between creators, innovators and audiences." Personally, I'm looking forward to catching my Athens Film + Video Festival alum, Carys Watford's Space Girls on the big screen, and experiencing the new life Lili's story is given each time it's presented before a new audience.
From Cinequest's Chris Garcia: "DocuNation brings heartbreaking tales together with satire and comedy, beautiful images with lovely animation, tradition with experimentation. You will find an examination of everything from the Velvet Underground to bounce houses, from spoken word poetry to Moth man. These are films that examine the pain we inflict on one another, as well as the joys simple interactions can provide, and they all come together to form the DocuNation."
