Info: This screening and conversation will continue from the opening discussion, unpacking excerpts of Lourdes Portillo’s extensive body of work. Excerpts viewed will touch on the intimate nature of documentary, auto-ethnography and home video aesthetics. Grappling with death and trauma these works engage histories of disappearances such as those of Mexican women along the U.S.-Tijuana border and the Plaza de Maya Mothers movement redressing those disappearances of Argentinian youth throughout the C.I.A. sponsored Operation Condor and Operation Central America.
