¡Aoquic iez in Mexico! Mexico will no longer exist! - Sunday 8/3 7pm at @2220arts - featuring filmmaker Annalisa D. Quaglita Blanco in conversation with programmer Diego Robles A Contemporary Mexico City City Symphony, like chapters in a book, plunges our senses into a bubbling city scape, a historical kaleidoscope shuddering and ushering in the megalopolis’ breath and figures populating its landscape frame by frame. Come see ¡Aoquic iez in Mexico! Mexico will no longer exist! if you want to bite into a space that welcomes the questioning of that which is ‘Mexican’, and that which is ‘Mexico’. Come see ¡Aoquic iez in Mexico! Mexico will no longer exist! if you want to soak in temporality that embraces the questioning of ‘Cinema’, and that which is ‘Cinematic.’ (fb)

He Never Dies: The Films of Kalil Haddad - Sunday 7/27 at @2220arts with Haddad in person - 7:30pm We are thrilled to welcome filmmaker Kalil Haddad @kalil.haddad for the Los Angeles premiere of his short film series, He Never Dies, including the world premiere of his new film My Secret Boyfriend Died in a Mass Shooting Haddad’s work blends archival, experimental, documentary, and narrative elements that allow for a making and remaking of archival text. Seeking history as a ruin of resources, he unveils materialist truths concerning the connection between sexuality, gender, race, and class exploitation. Haddad revels in the radical possibilities of grainy schlock and lifts untold stories from the conditions of our desires. Curated and presented by Wilde Davis @wildedavis and in collaboration with Kalil Haddad and Tony Nguyen (fb)
