Special screening with an introduction by art historian Valeria Guadalupe Márquez Reynoso, Saturday, October 24 at 2PM at Cinéma du Musée. Tickets here.
ASCO: WITHOUT PERMISSION challenges the limits of documentary conventions to tell the story of a revolutionary Chicano art group who turned 1970s LA into their defiant canvas. Merging activism with radical art-making, ASCO challenged the established order of Hollywood, museums, and media and are now considered amongst the 20th century's most significant artists. Director Travis Gutiérrez Senger mirrors their boundary-breaking spirit through a groundbreaking approach, weaving nonfiction and fiction together with a new generation of artists. The result is more than a profile — it's a reimagining of what's possible in art and cinema, celebrating iconoclasts who were decades ahead of their time. From executive producers, Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna.
