World Premiere of 100 WAYS TO CROSS THE BORDER at BAMcinemaFest

BAMcinemaFest 2022 Presents

100 WAYS TO CROSS THE BORDER
(Amber Bemak, USA, 2022, 84 min. In Spanish and English with English subtitles)

A daring, self-reflexive documentary on the extraordinary Mexican/Chicanx performance artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña’s 40-year career of radical artistic practice alongside his troupe La Pocha Nostra. At a time when the mainstream media is filled with stories about the US–Mexico border, this documentary presents the work and philosophical frameworks of an artist with a sustained dedication to highly impactful, innovative artistic interventions on that border. Including archival footage from his performances at BAM in the 90s, Gómez-Peña enacts his artistic interventions by “queering the border”—claiming all borders as queer and liminal spaces.
