Borderlands is the story of Maria Lara, a 74 year old Mexican-American woman and her life as she experiences the daily struggles of keeping her neurotic, dysfunctional family together while being haunted by enigmatic and increasingly disturbing hallucinations.

Documentary: The Artist Speaks
Ellen Riojas Clark, Daniel Alejandro González, USA, 2013, 40 min

A documented insight into the history, ideology and process of San Antonio, Texas area Latino artists: Franco Mondini Ruiz, Joe Lopez, and Terry Ybanez. Their stories tell of the artistic journeys, personal growth, and ethnic identity within the multicultural communities in which they live. The exploration of identity as Latino artists from varied social economic, educational, and cultural backgrounds form the thread of the video. This video entitled The Artist Speaks: Exploring Who I Am involves individual interviews as well as artist produced presentations about themselves and their work.
