As part of Ismo, Ismo, Ismo: Cine experimental en América Latina, the Hammer hosts a rare screening of Lydia García Millán’s COLOR (1955), one of the first abstract experimental films out of Latin America.
Shot when García was still a teen—and preceding similar work by Stan Brakhage—COLOR is part of an evening of work by women filmmakers, including Vivian Ostrovsky’s “beach symphony” COPACABANA BEACH (1983).
The soundtrack of García’s film features a performance recorded at Montevideo’s Hot Jazz Club, and Ostrovsky’s includes songs by Carmen Miranda.
