Ecuador Film Festival Invites ‘Judas Kiss’ Director
LIMITLESS. That’s how Ecuador’s GLBT film festival, El Lugar Sin Limites, describes itself. The festival has invited Judas Kiss director J.T. Tepnapa to screen the film next month in Quito.
“I had to say yes,” Tepnapa said.
The festival marks the first time Judas Kiss is officially screened subtitled in Spanish. It has screened or aired on television in German and French.
The festival runs from November 15 to 25. This year marks its 11th outing.
The festival describes Judas Kiss as “a sci-fi drama [that] has won major awards in the United States (first place Alternative Spirit at the Rhode Island International Film Festival, and Best Debut Feature at the Fort Worth’s Q Cinema film festival.
