ASCO: Without Permission
ASCO: Without Permission challenges the limits of documentary conventions to tell the story of a revolutionary Chicano art group who turned 1970s LA into their defiant canvas. Merging activism with radical art-making, ASCO challenged the established order of Hollywood, museums, and media and are now considered amongst the 20th century’s most significant artists. Director Travis Gutiérrez Senger mirrors their boundary-breaking spirit through a groundbreaking 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. From executive producers, Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna.
For one night only, pair the July 8 screening of ASCO: Without Permission at 8:10p with Agnès Varda’s Mur Murs at 6:15pm and save with a special $17 double-feature ticket.
