Synopsis

Ism, Ism, Ism is the first major exhibition in the United States to include a broad range of experimental cinema from Latin America and introduces U.S. audiences to a selection of rare cinematic masterworks in combination with resources that will help audiences better understand and discuss these films’ history and aesthetics. Many of the works in the series are largely unknown in the United States and most screenings will include national and area premieres.  To make this project possible, Filmforum has collaborated iwth scholars and curators in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Uruguay, San Francisco, and Switzerland.
