Chicano Visions
This July, RoxCine spotlights two remarkable documentaries celebrating artists who transformed Mexican American culture and self-representation. ASCO: Without Permission tells the story of the revolutionary East Los Angeles art collective; American Pachuco celebrates the life and legacy of playwright, filmmaker, and activist Luis Valdez.
For a deeper dive into the worlds these artists inhabited and helped shape, explore Agnès Varda’s Mur Murs, featuring members of ASCO amid Los Angeles’ vibrant mural movement, and Valdez’s landmark Zoot Suit, one of the defining works of Chicano cinema.
Presented by RoxCine. Co-presented by Cine+Mas San Francisco Latino Film Festival and Clarion Alley Mural Project.
