The Seltzer Factory: Film Screening and Conversation

Join us for a screening of The Seltzer Factory, written and directed by the Dominican-American, Boston-based filmmaker Paloma Valenzuela. This short documentary follows Paloma as she investigates her family history and explores her identity as a biracial Latina Jewish-American, piecing together the connecting events that shaped her family's story from Marghita to Oradea, to Cleveland, to the Dominican Republic to Boston.

The film will be followed by an audience Q&A with Paloma Valenzuela. This event will be held in Rabb Hall, in the Lower Level of the Boylston Street Building at the Central Library in Copley Square.
