Cinema Tucsón Presents:
ASCO: WITHOUT PERMISSION
(Travis Gutiérrez Senger, USA/Mexico, 90 min. In English)
Executive produced by Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna, Travis Gutiérrez Senger’s engrossing, genre-defying debut feature explores the revolutionary Chicano art group ASCO, who transformed 1970s LA into a bold, defiant canvas. Merging activism with radical artmaking, the artistic collective confronted the norms of Hollywood, museums, and media, and have since been recognized among the 20th century’s most significant artists. ASCO: Without Permission, winner of the Cinema Tropical Award for Best U.S. Latinx Film, captures their boundary-breaking spirit with an inventive 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.
