*About 100 Ways to Cross the Border*
At a time when the mainstream US and international media are filled with demonising stories about the US–Mexico border, 100 Ways to Cross the Border presents the philosophical frameworks of Guillermo Gómez-Peña’s sustained dedication to highly impactful and innovative artistic interventions on that border, reclaiming and ‘queering’ it as a laboratory for utopian ideas and artistic experimentation. Featuring exclusive footage from the post Mexican/Chicanx performance artist’s personal archive, the film also constitutes a unique portrait of being on the road for three years with his beloved troupe.
