A Philological Quandary, Kenneth Anger’s ¡Que Viva Mexico! (1950)

Bruce Posner | USA, Mexico, Russia | 2026 | 10' | | IFFR 2026

Kenneth Anger edited his own version of Sergei Eisenstein’s unfinished Mexican reverie, and even showed it at a festival. Alas leaving no trace of the object. Bruce Posner, now, created his own multi-screen variation on the story that lyrically compares moments from ¡Que Viva Mexico! with scenes from Anger’s avant-garde axiom Scorpio Rising.
