Event Details
In this acclaimed film, two young graffiti artists defy a criminal gang when they decide to paint a mural over a threat written on a wall. The love that unites them and their friendship with other artists come together to tell a story where the strength of youth faces fear, violence, and the difficulties of growing up. Days of the Whale [Los Dias de la Ballena] premiered at SXSW in Austin, Texas and has won awards at film festivals around the globe.
The Museum's Reel Women in Film series highlights the works of women in front of or behind the camera. In its third season, we'll reflect on the scope and impact of art and music.
