“The Matador,” a film produced and co-directed by Nina Seavey, Media & Public Affairs Professor at The George Washington University, makes its East Coast premiere at FilmFest DC, The Washington, D.C., International Film Festival.
Seavey’s film is an epic tale of one man's three-year quest to become the world's top-ranked bullfighter. “The Matador” is also a story of love – of a son for his family, of audiences for their heroes, of a people for their cultural traditions, and of the bullfighter’s paradoxical love for the majestic beast that he must kill to create his art.
The film generated great buzz at its World Premier at The South By Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas last month, and critics have called it “a thrilling look at Spain’s most passionate art.” Seavey is also the director of The Documentary Center and co-director for The Center for Innovative Media. |
