A product of DOX:LAB, a Copenhagen-based consortium linking artists from developing and developed countries to collaborate on projects, La Ultima Pelicula is Raya Martin's (the Philippines) and Mark Peranson's (Canada, and first time-feature director) homage to Dennis Hopper's bat-shit crazy film folly, The Last Movie.

Like Hopper's Magnum Whatsitz, La Ultima Pelicula concerns an insufferable gringo's misadventures while trying to make a movie in a dirt-poor village (in Mexico this time, instead of Peru), during the Mayan long-count end-of-days calendar.

Meta-cinematic, thematically rich and formally ambitious (shot in 7 different formats), filled with a multitude of cinematic references (an IMDB.com page has sprung up cataloging its homages), this is a film lover's desert island movie.
