Description
For the Houston Cinema Arts Festival 2020, Houston Cinema Arts Society features virtual and drive-in screenings of films in addition to live stream performances, interactive experiences, and Q&A and panels. This year, HCAF celebrates "Urbana," inspired by the globally popular Spanish-language genre música Urbana, which has its origin in African and the trans-Atlantic slave trade. As a part of the Houston Cinema Arts Festival 2020 (Nov 12 - Nov 22), Ammonite will be screened at the MoonStruck Drive-In at 7:30 PM on Nov 19. In 1800s England, acclaimed but unrecognized paleontologist Mary Anning (Kate Winslet) hunts for common fossils on the rugged Southern coastline to support her and her ailing mother. When a wealthy visitor entrusts Mary with the care of his wife Charlotte Murchison (Saoirse Ronan), she cannot afford to turn his offer down. Despite the two’s initial clash and the distance between their social class and personalities, an intense bond begins to develop between Mary and Charlotte, compelling the two women to determine the true nature of their relationship.
