Swoon
El documental de Alexandra Henry yuxtapone las experiencias personales de tres artistas callejeras latinas emergentes mientras navegan en una subcultura dominada por hombres para establecer identidades artísticas dentro de paisajes urbanos caóticos: Toofly, nacida en Ecuador y criada en Queens, Nueva York; Fusca, una pintora talentosa que se mudó a la Ciudad de México inspirada por su aceptación de todo lo artístico; y Magrela, quien expresa sus sentimientos sobre las complejidades de ser mujer a través de colores vibrantes e imágenes radicales pintadas en las paredes de São Paulo. Con anécdotas históricas de artistas pioneras como Lady Pink, Nina Pandolfo y Lady Aiko, Street Heroines captura el clamor colectivo de mujeres artistas callejeras de todo el mundo.

Shot in the classic cinema verité style using compact mini-dv and video 8 cameras, Public Discourse follows the art-making from initial idea through to exhibition, capturing the artists' private and personal moments of exuberance and regret. Public Discourse is about passionate artists who want their work to be seen by a wide range of people rather than be confined to the systemic structures of galleries and museums. This non-fiction film presents an in-depth study of the use of subversive messages, mimicking of advertising methods and the presentation of three-dimensional sculptures to the public.
