MEXPERIMENTAL CINEMA

    A roller-skating nun spraypaints prophecies of the death of rock'n'roll on the walls of Mexico City high-rises. The angular, succulent leaves of the maguey plant dance to the rhythm of Shostakovich's 11th Symphony. A feminist prankster wreaks havoc in a monastic order by adding LSD to the friars' drinking supply. A postmodern ranchera singer savors the taste of her own pumping heart. Mexican cinema is capable such subversive images. Over the period of sixty years scores of film and video makers fractured narrative and toppled conventions in an avant-garde rebellion which took a myriad of forms, sampled in this first ever survey of experimental Mexican media arts.
