Victoria Linares Villegas

Preparing for a role, an actress holds conversations with pregnant young girls. Throughout the process, the girls lay out the stories of their own lives on camera, changing the course of the production of the film.

After her girlfriend's death, Liz hides her true self until a weekend trip awakens forbidden desires. When her sexuality is exposed, paranoia and violence consume the group as her secret becomes deadly.

Despite living in a conservative society, Daniela, a closeted queer, commits to a young high school girl named Lucía, but a traumatic event threatens their relationship.

A revelation about Oscar Torres, her unknown and once world-famous queer filmmaker cousin, sends Victoria down a path of self-discovery through reconstructions of his intimate memories living in the 1950's authoritarian Caribbean, as Victoria leads re-enactments of his unproduced screenplays with the family who erased him.

In My Mother Resents Me, Victoria Linares Villegas wonders if her mother has always been a sad person, and works towards an understanding of her own relationship to her that draws on old photographs and new discoveries – an exploration that takes the artist back to the Dominican Republic’s former dictatorship, and the idea that anxiety, solitude and sorrow can persist through generations.
