INVENTARIO CHURUBUSCO

EUTERPE • 7m 3s

The historical Estudios Churubusco lab, where Golden Era Mexican films were processed in the 1950s, is still running, pretty much unchanged. This film is a desperate and loving attempt to preserve the memory of the people, knowledge and objects coexisting in this space, that risks closing at any time. Lab workers participated in the shooting as animators, actors and technical advisors.
