Poppin' Agit-Prop

SANTIAGO ALVAREZ + TRAVIS WILKERSON
We are honored to offer the collected works of Mr. Alvarez to the world--a very rare opportunity, owing to the Yankee blockade of the Cuban social experiment. We have managed to obtain the very best-ever transfers of his 16mm cine-poems, and we’ll be using this occasion to launch his portfolio on DVD! Boldly graphic, irresistibly rhythmic, and ultimately soul-stirring, we’ll show about half of the eight titles in the collection, including "Now", "79 Springtimes of Ho Chi Minh", and "Cerro Pelado". Both this screening and the disc itself are complemented by curator/artist Travis ("An Injury to One") Wilkerson’s "Accelerated Under-Development", a savvy appreciation of the master from the next generation of political makers. $6.
