DAUGHTERS OF WITCHES

Easily one of the best films that Huluween has produced. Starring Academy Award nominee Yalitza Aparicio of ROMA fame, DAUGHTERS OF WITCHES from Faride Schroeder brings it all: believable acting, crisp direction, top-notch production value, and a dark, unsettling mood. Don’t be surprised if a full feature comes out of this short, that’s how interesting the characters and world are, and how entertaining Faride’s film is.

“No image from this year quicker imprinted itself on my heart than that of Yalitza Aparicio’s Cleo sitting upright in a hotel room bed with a coy Mona Lisa smile arched across her mouth, taking closely-guarded pleasure in her suitor’s stark-naked martial arts presentation in the beginning of Alfonso Cuarón’s ROMA. This new love will soon turn against Cleo, but for now, she is just content to bask in its raw and immediate intimacy, as are we.” — Matthew Eng

All hail the trailblazing Yalitza Aparicio, an Oscar nominee for her brilliant and powerful acting debut in Alfonso Cuarón’s ROMA! She is now the first Indigenous woman to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.
