Join us for a screening of Duet, a documentary by local indie filmmaker Michael Jacobsohn (67 minutes)
No wall will stop these dreamers or their passion to create. Hugo Muñoz, a self taught Mexican string guitarist, discovers his perfect partner in a Czech Republic bass guitarist, Jana Vaculíková who is here on a student visa.
Their pact is to create a theatrical performance composed of a dozen of Hugo’s highly original compositions. Over the next six months they rehearse diligently in his tiny studio apartment.
After their extraordinary successful cabaret debut, Jana’s visa expires. Wistfully, she and Hugo must part, their future together an uncertainty.
Directed by award winning filmmaker Michael Jacobsohn. His films have been screened at MoMA, Whitney Museum of American Art, Tribeca Festival, PBS. Some of his films are part of the permanent collection of the Lincoln Centers Library for the Performing Arts.
