ArtMattan Films New Acquisition Puerto Rican Film ‘Angelica’ Gets Virtual Theatrical Date Set to August 20
ArtMattan Films, the film distribution arm of ArtMattan Productions, has announced the acquisition and virtual theatrical release of award-winning drama ANGELICA by Marisol Gómez-Mouakad. ANGELICA is a psychological drama that exposes the implications of racism and sexism upon the family and individual, reflecting upon how the oppressive nature of both racism and sexism, affects family relations and the individual.
ANGELICA is set to get a virtual release in major markets including New York, Los Angeles and Chicago on August 20. The virtual release will be followed by a digital and home-video release.
Angelica, after a long absence from Puerto Rico, returns home when her father, Wilfredo, suffers a stroke. This unexpected return and her father's illness force Angelica to re-evaluate her relationship with her mother and family members who don't accept her because of her skin color. She must face herself and discovers that she does not know who she is. After her father's death, Angelica must decide whether to return to the comfort of her previous life, dissatisfied, but secure, or set on an adventurous path to rediscover herself as an independent, modern, strong, black, and Puerto Rican woman.
