NewFest Presents:
100 Ways To Cross The Border
100 Ways To Cross The Border is a playful and mesmerizing documentary on the extraordinary Mexican/Chicanx performance artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña’s 40-year career of radical artistic practice alongside his international troupe La Pocha Nostra. At a time when mainstream media was rampant with demonizing stories about the U.S.-Mexico border, director Amber Bemak presents Gómez-Peña’s innovative interventions on that border and an endearing portrait of the artist’s beloved troupe La Pocha Nostra on the road for three years.
Featuring exclusive footage from personal archives, Gómez-Peña enacts his artistic interventions by reclaiming and “queering the border” as a laboratory for utopian ideas and experimentation.
In-person tickets include a post-screening Q&A with director Amber Bemak. To request an accommodation for this event, please contact Richard Morales at rmorales@gaycenter.org or 646.502.6370.
