Undoing The Whole Thing, the kick-off event of The Futurism is Ours, is about breaking down and building back up again. Featuring short work by Barbara Hammer, Miatta Kawinzi, and Joey Carducci, the program reflects on the filmmakers’ experiences working within and against cinematic lineages through their exploration of selfhood, queerness, and alternative social realities.
Desde sus inicios el cine se anuncia como una promesa lumínica de un cuerpo en movimiento. En la pantalla el cuerpo danza, el cuerpo goza, desafía a veces los cánones de representación y nos invita a reflexionar sobre cuestiones de identidad y género.

Como extensión de su exposición en Nave 0 de Matadero, Cineteca acoge AR, FOGO, TERRA, ÁGUA, una carta blanca en la que la artista brasileña Ana Vaz (Brasilia, 1986) pone en diálogo su propio trabajo con una personal historia del cine en la que reivindica una poética-física de la impureza.

The grant is supported directly by funds provided by her estate and administered through Queer|Art by lesbians for lesbians, with a rotating panel of judges.
