Doc Days 2023

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

A vibrant, impressionistic and timely film about coming of age in today’s Texas, HUMMINGBIRDS is the intimate story of two young Texas women on the border, best friends, one of whom is undocumented. What is today’s American story for these Gen Z women, who have experienced the criminalization of immigration and abortion? HUMMINGBIRDS is more than the answer to that question, a cinematic, joyful film pulsing with youthful energy and hope. Supported by an AFS Grant. This screening will be followed by an in-person Q&A with filmmakers Estefanía Contreras, Silvia Del Carmen Castaños, and Jillian Schlesinger moderated by KUT 90.5 on-air host Kristen Cabrera.
