AUGUST EVENING
A new country. A new life. A new love.
Directed by Chris Eska
:::ABOUT THE FILM:::
August Evening follows an aging undocumented farm worker named Jaime and his young, widowed daughter-in-law, Lupe, as their lives are thrown into upheaval. Lupe is more of a daughter to Jaime than his own children, and the two try to stick together… but change is inevitable...
:::REVIEWS:::
"A deeply absorbing viewing experience."
- Scott Foundas, L.A. WEEKLY
"Perfectly honed, naturalistic acting and visual lyricism."
- Stephen Farber, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"In moments where tumultuous thoughts and feelings hang heavy in the silent air, Eska captures both the uneasiness of immigrant (and, more generally, unmoored) life, as well as the hard-won joy of love and renewal."
- Nick Schager, SLANT MAGAZINE

The Hispanic Heritage Society of Texas is comprised of young men and women of Hispanic background as well as students with an interest in Hispanic cultures. Our mission is to serve as a support group for students of Latin American or Spanish descent, as well as educate communities in Texas about Hispanic cultures and issues, in both Latino countries and in the United States. It is our hope that by sharing our cultures and issues with the community, our efforts will break old stereotypes of the Hispanic world and contribute to a greater understanding between the members of our growing multi-cultural state.
