Plus +++ Pre-show and intermission “Caca Portrait” loops:

Angela Reginato screens three 8mm films, one for each member of the colectiva. Each “portrait” is projected in 16mm and accompanied by a soundtrack specifically chosen by each subject. These portraits are from her ongoing 8mm series “Mirame De Frente,” filmed within the constraint of each roll they encapsulate something dear to her about each person filmed.

Running Time: 90 minutes
