Extensión Cultural

Paul Leduc

During the six-year presidential term of Echeverría, the initiative of the Secretariat of Public Education allowed Julio Bracho, Arturo Ripstein, Felipe Cazals and Leduc to make shorts. Leduc appropriated this commissioned piece as a factory of imagination of his further work. One can find the prototypes of the scenes from Barroco, ¿Cómo ves? and other masterpieces. A culture—be it craftsmanship, painting, music (even the Soviet mezzo-soprano Zara Dolukhanova appears here!)—is an extension of a history and a geography. Cinema is not forgotten: in a meta-narrative stunt a crew is included into research.
