Colectivo Los Ingrávidos

Thursday, November 12, 2026

7pm | 55-minute screening

JOAN and Now Instant Image Hall presents a selection of experimental films by Colectivo Los Ingrávidos, an anonymous film collective founded in Tehuacán, Mexico, in 2012.

Emerging amid widespread protests against the Mexican government during the later years of the “War on Drugs,” the collective developed a radical audiovisual language in response to a period of political upheaval that marked a turning point for many in Mexico. Through psychedelic colors, layered analog film, and rhythmic soundscapes, their films preserve the memory of those affected by mass violence, from protesters and the disappeared to the dead.

For Colectivo Los Ingrávidos, anonymity is a political strategy that challenges the artist-centered logic of neoliberalism, which privileges individual authorship and intention in the production and interpretation of art. By working collectively, the group resists the notion of the singular artist as the primary source of meaning and value. Their commitment to collective authorship carries particular weight in Mexico, one of the world’s most dangerous countries for journalists, where reporting on organized crime and political corruption is often met with state retaliation.

The selected films draw on key moments in Mexican history, from Aztec mythology to the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre and the 2014 forced disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa student teachers. These historical references intersect with contemporary protests that bring enduring histories of violence into public consciousness. Colectivo Los Ingrávidos describes its aesthetic approach as “shamanic materialism,” combining expired film stock, found footage, color inversion, and organic materials that alter the surface of celluloid. The resulting images create a disorienting, trance-like experience that jolts the senses. Through these layered compositions, the collective exhumes fragments of collective memory that remain largely absent from mainstream television and commercial cinema.

Screening at Now Instant Image Hall

939 Chung King Rd., Los Angeles, CA 90012

El Nido del Sol2021, 5 min.

Drawing on ancient Aztec mythology, El Nido del Sol references Xólotl, the canine deity; Huitzilin, the hummingbird; and Xóchitl, the flower. Vivid, saturated images of flowers blend into one another, accompanied by rhythmic drumming. Translating to The Nest of the Sun, the title evokes the spiritual interconnectedness of celestial beings and the natural world in Indigenous Mexican cosmologies.

Batalla2017, 4 min.

A tribute to Aldo Gutiérrez Solano, a student at the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers’ College who was among those attacked by police on September 26, 2014. That night, students traveling in buses in Iguala, Guerrero, were attacked while preparing to travel to Mexico City for the annual commemoration of the 1968 Tlatelolco student massacre. Forty-three students were forcibly disappeared, while Gutiérrez Solano survived a gunshot wound to the head that left him in a persistent vegetative state. Investigations have implicated local police, organized crime, and members of the Mexican military in the events surrounding the attacks and disappearances.

Altazor2019, 3 min.

An audiovisual tribute to Chilean poet Vicente Huidobro’s 1931 avant-garde poem Altazor. The poem follows a cosmic aviator in free fall through time, space, and infinity, exploring the limits of language and the nature of human existence.

Tonalli2021, 16 min.

Drawing on the ancient Nahuatl concept of tonalli, understood as the vital energy that animates living beings, the film alludes to the Day of the Dead and its roots to Indigenous Mesoamerican civilizations. Two heads, one a skull and the other a clay figure, fade in and out of view, each surrounded by flowers.

Aria 682023, 4 min.

Aria 68 revisits the historical trauma and recurring cyclices of violence surrounding the Tlatelolco student massacre, which took place in Mexico City on October 2, 1968. A recurring subject in the collective’s filmography, the massacre forms the basis for this “shamanic composition,” an intense audiovisual reflection on the enduring legacies of state violence in contemporary Mexico.

Notes for a Deja Vu2020, 22 min.

Scenes of contemporary protests unfold through freeway tunnels and the streets of downtown Mexico City, where demonstrators carry banners and images, including depictions of the Virgin Mary, flyers of missing women, and slogans commemorating the Tlatelolco Massacre. The footage is accompanied by the voice of poet, filmmaker, and artist Jonas Mekas, who reflects on the fragmented nature of memory.

Taxi Driver

****DEATH WISH CLUB (1984) is a film that was repackaged many times for the home video market, desperately trying and failing to find an audience (also known as *Gretta*, also known as *Carnival of Fools*, also known as *Erskine Caldwell's Gretta, a*lso known as *The Dark Side to Love)*. However it's mostly known in a heavily edited down short form as *The Case of Gretta Connors*, a part of the NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR horror anthology, which is unfortunate as its full 90 minute version must be seen to be believed!

Directed by John Carr, written by controversial Oscar-winning screenwriter Philip Yordan (!), and based very loosely on the 1955 Erskine Caldwell novel *Gretta,* the full cut of DEATH WISH CLUB unfolds a story that at no point will you know what comes next.

Rich misanthrope George Youngmeyer (J. Martin Sellers) meets the eccentric Gretta (the incredible Meridith Haze in her only known role) working at the carnival, stuffs a few hundred dollar bills down her shirt and takes her home. Gretta wants to be "a star" so Youngmeyer introduces her to the world of pornography. After seeing one of her films in his dorm, college student Glenn Marshall (Rick Barnes) becomes infatuated with the actress, and follows the clues from the adult store where the film was rented, to the production company that produced the picture, eventually finding himself face to face with Gretta, who is playing the piano pantsless at the shady "Club Manhattan". Glenn is sucked into a dangerous triad, and what follows becomes more incredulous from one moment to the next, including getting caught up in the titular "Death Wish Club".

Gender swapping, seances, giant bug POV shots, demolition balls, electric chairs, karate, and so much more await you in DEATH WISH CLUB.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Cameron Winter, in December 2025, after a months-long sold-out tour with his band Geese, returned to New York to play a single show at Carnegie Hall. This is the movie.

Directed and shot on 35mm and 16mm by Oscar-winning filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson (ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER), the crew includes filmmaker and actor Benny Safdie (THE SMASHING MACHINE) and music producer Ariel Rechtshaid (Grammy winner for albums with Vampire Weekend and Adele).

GQ praised Cameron Winter’s show at Carnegie Hall as “staggeringly good,” and Nick Cave said he has a “a glorious, emotive voice with brilliant, blistering words, a racked and wondrous thing.” Winter’s solo album *Heavy Metal* was named one of the best of the year by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Paste and Mojo and Geese’s last record *Getting Killed* was named the best album of 2025 by The New Yorker, NME and Stereogum.

CAMERON WINTER AT CARNEGIE HALL

The creators of Wallace & Gromit bring you an exciting and original story about a group of chickens determined to fly the coop–even if they can’t fly! It’s hardly poultry in motion when Rocky attempts to teach Ginger and her feathered friends to fly…but, with teamwork, determination and a little bit o’ cluck, the fearless flock plots one last attempt in a spectacular bid for freedom.

Chicken Run

Varda focuses her eye on gleaners: those who scour already-reaped fields for the odd potato or turnip. Her investigation leads from forgotten corners of the French countryside to off-hours at the green markets of Paris, following those who insist on finding a use for that which society has cast off, whether out of necessity or activism.

The Gleaners and I

In post-apocalyptic France, a butcher is murdering some juicy humans and selling off their meats. Our hero has a pretty squishy face in a movie that&#8217;s surprisingly quite the romp considering its subject matter. How did Jeunet and Caro get their films so yellow?

Delicatessen

A mathematical genius discovers a link between numbers and reality, and thus believes he can predict the future.

*Made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment*

Premiering on NBC on October 17, 1966, *Hollywood Squares* became one of the most popular game shows in television history, with over 4,000 episodes of the original network incarnation produced through 1981. The longevity of the simple tic-tac-toe game was driven in large part by the show’s charismatic, quick-witted host, Peter Marshall. A talented actor and nightclub comedian, Marshall breezily tackled the daunting task of corralling the series’ boisterous, rotating stable of nine celebrities, setting up punchlines and volleying retorts with equal aplomb. 

While high-wattage superstars such as Vincent Price and Sammy Davis Jr. often guested, the literal center of *Hollywood Squares’ *towering, neon-lit set featured an icon like no other — actor and comedian Paul Lynde. Beloved by audiences of all stripes, Lynde routinely brought down the house with bawdy ad-libs and double entendres — delivered impeccably with a knowing wink. Painfully closeted in his personal life to protect his showbiz career, Lynde turned conventional wisdom of the day upside down, boldly introducing the masses to an undeniably empowered, queer-coded persona previously unseen on television. 

Join us as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the premiere of *Hollywood Squares* and the birth centennials of Peter Marshall and Paul Lynde. Two preserved episodes will be screened, complete with original commercials, as well as an extended clip reel showcasing a galaxy of guest stars, risque retorts and the genius of Paul Lynde.

**Producers**: Liani Greaves,  Anne De Mare

A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves has one last trick up his sleeve with what he considered the most important event he captured on film: a 1972 party he engineered with the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance. For four hours, this extraordinary group – many of whom had not seen each other in fifty years – reminisced, critiqued, argued, laughed and drank while wrestling with their place in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. 

Shot on 16mm film, newly restored and now directed by Greaves’ son David, this landmark film is at once a self-exploration and an inquiry into the heart of the critical mass of energy called the Harlem Renaissance. William Greaves’ intent was not only to document these artists and intellectuals as they spoke about their lives and work but also to plumb the meaning of the extraordinary creative period in which they lived to help us better understand how culture has been passed on from one generation to another and the role that the artist plays in keeping it alive.

**Screenwriters:** L. M. Kit Carson, Sam Shepard

**Producers:** Anatole Dauman, Don Guest

Our beloved Harry Dean Stanton stars in *Paris, Texas,* a profoundly moving character study written by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Sam Shepard. New German Cinema pioneer Wim Wenders (*Wings of Desire*) brings his keen eye for landscape to the American Southwest and this story of a mysterious, nearly mute drifter Travis (a magnificent Stanton, whose face is a landscape all its own) as he tries to reconnect with his young son and his missing wife (Nastassja Kinski). From this simple setup, Wenders and Shepard produce a powerful statement on codes of masculinity and the myth of the American family, as well as an exquisite visual exploration of a vast, crumbling world of canyons and neon.

**Producers**: Stewart Le Maréchal,  Anna Mohr-Pietsch

Join us in the microcinema for this magnificently absurd mockumentary with eye-popping imagery and a deliciously off-kilter performance by Sian Clifford. Deluded aristocrat Lady Isabella (Sian Clifford) hires struggling director Sam (Laurie Kynaston) to document life at her imposing country estate, Ravenhyde Hall. When he discovers that the promise of a Netflix commission was a lie, and that Isabella only wants him there to film her taking part in a ridiculously low-stakes regional talent show held at the Hall, he’s ready to quit—until he realizes the narcissistic Lady is, quite literally, turning invisible. 

Seeing a chance to revive his faltering career, Sam keeps filming under the guise of helping Isabella prepare for her big performance. Supporting her also means reluctantly stepping in front of the camera himself, becoming Isabella’s unlikely muse and revealing a vulnerability he’d rather hide. 

Though from different worlds, they form an unexpected bond, but when Sam uncovers the tragic reason Isabella hasn’t left Ravenhyde Hall in years, he questions whether his film exploits her trauma. As the talent show approaches and Isabella’s invisibility spreads, can they both confront their fears before she disappears completely?

A jaw-dropping deep cut of Satanic Cinema, Juan López Moctezuma&#8217;s *Alucarda* is treasure of Mexican Horror dying to be rediscovered at large. School girls cavorting with Baphomet and dabbling in sapphic secrets, self-flagelatting nuns wrapped in bloody gauze, this woefully underseen masterpiece is a whole new level of horror, hungry for new eyes to witness its exquisite strangeness. A young girl&#8217;s arrival at a convent after the death of her parents marks the beginning of a series of events that unleash an evil presence on the girl and her mysterious new friend, an enigmatic figure known as Alucarda. Demonic possession, Satan worship, and vampirism follows. A protege of Alejandro Jodorowski, Moctezuma creates a nightmarish world that transcends beyond genre. Don&#8217;t miss this rare chance to see this unforgettable experience on our big screen!

It was one of the great, untold love stories of the 20th century. For fifty years, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown shared a life of profound tenderness, sharp wit, and creative joy. They also sparked a revolution in architecture, challenging the rigid modernism of the era with their embrace of complexity, symbolism, and the lessons of the everyday landscape.

Filmed with astonishing intimacy by their son, Stardust invites you to see the world through their eyes. It’s a road-movie journey to the places that meant the most to them—including Rome, Venice, Paris, London, Philadelphia, and Las Vegas. Along the way, you’ll witness their witty, subversive shorthand, quiet battles against a male-dominated establishment (including the infamous Pritzker Prize snub), and the enduring partnership that redefined architectural collaboration.

Praised by The New York Times and The Guardian, Stardust is a funny, moving, and deeply human portrait—a film to fall in love with.

The film makers: 

Jim Venturi (director & producer) and Anita Naughton (writer & editor) are the filmmakers of Stardust. Jim’s debut documentary offers a rare and personal look at his parents’ lives, informed by over a decade of filming and dozens of interviews with architects, artists and collaborators from all over the world. In addition to directing and producing Stardust, he also leads ReThink Studio, a think-tank based in New York City.

Anita is the writer and editor of Stardust and has been credited with creating an engaging and moving portrait of these two brilliant and subversive figures. Her book Tea & Sympathy is about her waitressing days in Greenwich Village. Naughton has just finished a rom-com set in Italy and is working on their next film, Denise Scott Brown: No Apologies.

Director Markus Zizenbacher in person and a video introduction by Brontez Purnell!

A sexually liberated black and queer song of Simi Valley to Silver Lake with a personal history of LA punk in between, *The Life of Sean DeLear* is a moving, exciting, touching, funny, sweet, and deeply affectionate tribute to the iconic Sean D. Featuring glimpses of his band Glue, his time living with Susan Tyrrell, hanging with John Sex, encountering-- and creating-- celebrity myths and mysteries, the film also includes interviews with Ann Magnuson, Redd Kross, Rick Owens, and more.

"This portrait-documentary tells the story of musician, performance artist and scenster Sean DeLear. From his early childhood in Simi Valley to the posthumous publication of his teenage diaries. It is a vibrant trip through the underground scene of LA, New York and Vienna using his video, foto, and diary archive... Sean documented his whole life from 8mm to Hi8 to digital, in fotos and writing since the late 70s. It is an inspiring collection of flashlights through the last decades that show a vivid testimonial of the music and art scene, the changing of media included. - Zizenbacher

"Like a young Diana Ross, Sean DeLear was all ferocity and vulnerability..."—Rick Owens

The Host

FOOD IS LIFE in this mouthwatering “ramen western” about a misfit gang of ramen ronin who guide a noodle-shop owner in her quest for the perfect recipe. Comedy master Jûzô Itami whips kung fu, noir, tearjerkers, Chaplinesque silent antics, and, of course, the spaghetti western into a rich, full-bodied broth and serves it up hot as the wacky, surreal adventures of Tampopo (Itami’s wife Nobuko Miyamoto) are seasoned with the sexy exploits of a gastronome gangster (PERFECT DAYS star Kōji Yakusho). A tasty meditation on human hunger; savory and sweet; nourishing for the body and soul. Umami cinema.

Tampopo

In 1600, nobleman Orlando (Tilda Swinton) inherits his parents' house, thanks to Queen Elizabeth I (Quentin Crisp), who commands the young man to never change.

One morning, Orlando is shocked to wake up as a woman and returns home, struggling as a female to retain her property as the centuries roll by.

From PARK Chan-wook, the celebrated director of OLDBOY, LADY VENGEANCE and STOKER, comes a ravishing new crime drama. PARK presents a gripping and sensual tale of two women - a young Japanese Lady living on a secluded estate, and a Korean woman who is hired to serve as her new handmaiden, but is secretly plotting with a conman to defraud her of a large inheritance. Inspired by the novel Fingersmith by British author Sarah Waters, THE HANDMAIDEN borrows the most dynamic elements of its source material and combines it with PARK Chan-wook’s singular vision to create an unforgettable viewing experience.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder and Anthony Hopkins star in director Francis Ford Coppola’s visually stunning, passionately seductive version of the classic Dracula legend. In BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA, Coppola returns to the original source of the Dracula myth, and from that gothic romance, he creates a modern masterpiece. Gary Oldman’s metamorphosis as Dracula who grows from old to young, from man to beast is nothing short of amazing. Winona Ryder brings equal intensity to the role of a young beauty who becomes the object of Dracula’s devastating desire. Anthony Hopkins co-stars as the famed doctor who dares to believe in Dracula, and then dares to confront him.

Turn off your Apple 2C and get ready for some obsolete technology on celluloid as this month&#8217;s 16mm foray into celluloid weirdness delves into vintage animation, educational films, trippy trailers, antiquated advertisements, Sci Fi rarities and more from the 1950s through the 1980s heralding the “coming” world of robots, time and space travel, and the home computer explosion. From the poetic symphony of a robotic factory, to a lost Mid-Century promotional cartoon about the monopolization of plastics, to a dancing CPU chorus line, and more oddities and surprises you won&#8217;t be able to see anywhere else, this program is a TRIP &#8211; back to the future. Slightly ridiculous and definitely out of date, this compendium of vintage technology and imagined futures will be screened entirely on 16mm film with prints from the Sweet 16mm collection as well as the legendary archives of Oddball Films and A/V Geeks. 

**Sweet 16mm** is a monthly screening of short films that demonstrate the special magic of the medium of 16mm. Ranging monthly from experimental, animation, educational, promotional, and ephemeral, we seek to spread the gospel of 35mm’s cheap and portable cousin and a physical media often overlooked and underrated.

Trying to get home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his wife (Laila Robins) and kids, his flight is rerouted to a distant city in Kansas because of a freak snowstorm, and his sanity begins to fray. Worse yet, he is forced to bunk up with talkative Del Griffith (John Candy), whom he finds extremely annoying.

Rinko and Shigehiko are a strange couple, whose physical mismatch is reflected in the complete lack of intimacy between them. They connect as human beings but they live more like friends than as lovers and lead nearly independent lives. Both seem comfortable with this coexistence, but the desires that lurk beneath the surface are brought out with the introduction of a third element (played by Tsukamoto himself) into the equation. A visually-stunning and coldly-erotic masterpiece from the director of TETSUO: THE IRON MAN.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Presbyterian Church is a small mining town in the turn-of-the-century Pacific Northwest—and a perfect place where gambler John Q. McCabe and bordello madam Constance Miller can do business. Robert Altman’s dazzlingly original MCCABE & MRS. MILLER, starring Warren Beatty and Julie Christie, stands the mythology of the Old West on its ear. Shot on beautiful Vancouver wilderness locations, this 1971 film captures the essence of a long-ago time, coupled with the edgy modern sensibility Altman brought to his other ’70s masterworks M*A*S*H and NASHVILLE. The spellbinding result, critic Pauline Kael wrote, is “a modern classic.”

The ultimate Hitchcock thrill ride, centered on the Master of Suspense’s favorite theme: an innocent man accused of a crime he didn’t commit. Here, the poor sucker is an effortlessly cool Cary Grant (or is that redundant?), playing an advertising exec who’s mistaken for a spy named George Kaplan — and then mistaken for a murderer! His efforts to clear his own name and unravel a sinister conspiracy will take across the United States, from an epic train ride to an assassination attempt by airplane to a chase across Mount Rushmore. But hey, he does get to romance Eva Marie Saint along the way, so maybe it’s all worth it?

Join us for a special "Black Friday" screening of the contemporary Australian microbudget feature.

Lou and Noodles are consumers. Adrift and empty, they are separate from each other and from the world. Ruled by desire and uncontrollable drives to excess, they spend their solitary hours in spaces both real and unreal. Occasionally, they are in the same part of the mall.

A deeply personal evocation of the alienation of consumer spaces and the loneliness that late capitalism both creates and feeds on, MALLS is a lament for a culture that is most alive in its doomed attempts to escape itself. Drawing equal inspiration from Tsai Ming-liang, the early work of John Waters, and the inevitable online brain-rot of its young creators, the film is a micro-budget testament to making your own fun in a world of fading possibility.

*“A dazzling slow-cinema study of consumerism and alienation, via two young drifting solitaires... a mesmerising film with great depth, penetrating its characters' souls... the concluding sequences are exhilarating.” -* ***Bill Mousoulis*** (filmmaker, programmer, founding editor of Senses of Cinema)
“A voraciously original feature debut from Adelaide filmmaker Daniel Tune, for whom the failing infrastructure of late capitalist life is a kind of silly putty... A film that has completely reshuffled my sense of the possible in contemporary Australian filmmaking” - ***Indigo Bailey***, Rough Cut Film
“Melancholy and often gross, appropriate for a film titled in mock tribute to some of the worst, most lonely places on Earth... Tune deeply understands the how and why of a long take on tender pain; the whole frame is alive with geometry and movement” – ***Kai Perrignon*** *(filmmaker, head programmer at Brunswick Underground Film Festival)*

Paradise Alley

Henri is a frustrated teenager living with his parents in a provincial French coastal town. When they drag him to the train station to bid adieu to his sister, Henri sneaks off to a secluded bathroom and interrupts a hustler named Jean satisfying the masochistic desires of an older male client. Henri falls desperately in love with the sexy criminal, but Jean evades Henri’s affections. Undeterred, Henri shadows Jean as he traverses the dark and dangerous underbelly of their sleepy village. But as he descends deeper and deeper into Jean’s world, there may not be an easy way out. Patrice Chéreau’s 1983 drama is a revelation: an amazingly accomplished work that genuinely channels the transgressive, unsanitized sensibility of Jean Genet, boasting a breakout lead performance by young Jean-Hugues Anglade and a script that took co-writers Chéreau and legendary gay French author and activist Hervé Guibert six years to perfect. The result is a rich, strange, and sumptuous film leading us to exhilaratingly mysterious and unfamiliar spaces both physical and psychological.
