Proyector: Wadley
Thursday, June 4th, 7:30pm Proyector A showcase of contemporary independent Mexican films blending fiction with non-fiction elements. The themes and characters they present fall outside of the clichés of Mexico portrayed by the media. Emphasizing form over content, these films break away from commercial production schemes. Curated by Sebastian Diaz
Wadley Matías Meyer, 2008, 60 min The small family formed by photographers Gerardo Barroso, Lisa Tillinger and their baby moved to the noisy and full of life López Street, in historic downtown of Mexico City. Everyday-life at the place seemed worthy of a documentary, so they began to follow transients with their camera. The result is a kind of "urban symphony" in black and white, through which street vendors, mendicants and taqueros parade portraying Mexican society as a microcosm.
