Embrace the supernatural with an unforgettable weekend as we bring the legendary La Pocha Nostra back to San Diego! Join us for a screening of four of Guillermo Gómez-Peña’s groundbreaking films on Sunday, October 20 at The Front Arte Cultura Gallery, offering a rare glimpse into the evolution of his cinematic work. "Son of Border Crisis" (1990), directed by Isaac Artenstein, tackles the cultural clashes and immigrant struggles faced by Mexican-Americans. "SF Apocalypse" (2022), is a post-pandemic experimental performance film set in a dystopian art space on the periphery of San Francisco. Shot by filmmaker Gustavo Vazquez, the film features a cast of 25 artists who join Gómez-Peña in creating a visionary commentary on the collapse of creative spaces in a post-pandemic world. "Oaxacalifornia" (2024) showcases decades of collaborative work by La Pocha Nostra with artists in Oaxaca, Mexico. "Alien Planet" (2024), an exclusive sneak peek at a brand-new film created during LPN’s ongoing artistic residency in Roswell, New Mexico. Directed by Balitrónica and Gómez-Peña. Filmed by EmaLee Arroyo, Sarah Stolar & Dr Darkturn. Hair and Nails by Feral Kitten and Costuming by Jess Fitz and Kate Turner.
