Querida Benita

Written, produced, photographed, directed, and manipulated during performance by Rafael Corkidi, the "video theater" Querida Benita (1989) is a spectacle that breaks with the formats of film and video by situating itself in a sui generis setting (the Manuel M. Ponce Hall of the Palace of Fine Arts or a small stage in the basement of the El Juglar bookstore in August-October 1989), but it encounters the limitations of the dramatic current that it, moreover, inaugurates. These are the limitations of Mexican socialist unrealism.

Casi divas

Four ambitious and beautiful young women. From four very different corners of Mexico. Just like hundreds of others, they are caught up in the frenzy that sweeps the nation when Alejandro Mateos, one of the country's most powerful producers, dreams up a nationwide talent search to cast the lead in his next big movie. But all this is news to Alejandro's on-again, off-again lover, Eva Gallardo, a diva of epic proportions, who expected to get the part. While Eva schemes to nail down the role, our four leads begin their own journey on the road to fame.
