“La Fábrica de Bodas” to Open the 15th Edition of the Dominican Film Festival in New York

Directed by Francis “Indio” Disla Ferrera, the film will celebrate its World Premiere on August 5 at the United Palace

Director Francis “Indio” Disla Ferrera is confirmed to attend, along with cast members Cheddy García, Fausto Mata, and Mexican actor Kuno Becker, as well as other prominent figures from the Dominican film industry.

La Fábrica de Bodas follows the story of an undocumented Mexican immigrant who, facing possible deportation, agrees to marry an American woman to obtain legal status and help her pay off her debts. To make it happen, they turn to an unconventional New York attorney. Through comedy, the film explores immigration, survival, and the challenges faced by many Latino families in the United States.

United Palace: THEATRE IN THE FOYER

Step inside the Grand Foyer of the United Palace for a theatrical double bill celebrating the magic of live performance.

Featuring two new pieces by Uptown Manhattan artists, Theatre in the Foyer brings together heart, history, and theatrical imagination in one unforgettable evening.

Uptown Books, by Adrián Miranda, is a warm and funny musical play set inside a Washington Heights bookstore, where a wonderfully quirky group of strangers finds connection, community, and unexpected joy among the shelves.

Your Queen Presents: Petrus, by Edu Díaz, is a darkly comic solo performance in which Queen Catherine de’ Medici reveals the story of Petrus Gonsalvus, the Canary Islander whose extraordinary life inspired Beauty and the Beast.

Two new works. One historic space. An evening of Uptown theatre.
