  • “Be realistic, demand the impossible!” Cinema, Surrealism, Marxism
The Sun Quartet (2017)
Dir. Colectivo Los Ingrávidos, 62min, DCP
In Spanish with English subtitles

The disappearance of 43 students from the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers College in 2014 opened a breach in the Mexican political body. The Sun Quartet is a solar composition in four movements, a political composition in four natural elements, and an audiovisual composition in four bodily mutations. The film culminates with the clamor of the people that shook Mexico after the night of September 26, 2014.

Be Silent, For The Ears Of God Are Everywhere (2006)
Dir. The Otolith Group, 11min

French psychoanalyst and intellectual Jacques Lacan once said, “Revolution is nothing more than going around and round in circles.” In this video meditation on vinyl records and post-political spaces, the Otolith Group explores the demand for a space of safety that exists outside of disagreement.
