(ENG) Tuesday March 5 FICG

Today I was preparing for our screening of INtransit V.7: dGen in Tlaquepaque, but I had a chance to go to the expo and see a really great film called El Efecto K: El Montador de Stalin, directed by Valentí Figueres.  Valentí is the director of a production company called Los Sueños de la Hormiga Roja (The dreams of the red ant), a company that produces film and television in Valencia, Spain. The film was done in voiceover, using really beautiful montage to tell the mysterious true life story of a Russian film editor, actor and spy who led a double life in the United States and Russia during the cold war. For those who love the merging of history, fiction, and montage, this film is really nice.

Then I headed to Tlaquepaque for the screening of INtransit V.7: dGen, a compilation I had worked on and brought to the film festival, through a collaboration with participants of a course on Genetics & Art offered as part of TRÁNSITOS.  TRÁNSITOS  is a 4 module course in transdisciplinary art research and production. This course was offered by and at the Centro Nacional de las Artes in Mexico City. The screening was hosted by a great art bar called La Mata Tinta.

We got lots of good response and a nice letter to the group responsible for working with me to make the video compilation.
