ASCO: Without Permission ()
Cast: Zoe Saldana, Michael Pena, Harry Gamboa Jr., Gronk
Runtime: 1 hr. 30 mins.
Genre: Documentary
ASCO: WITHOUT PERMISSION challenges the limits of documentary conventions to tell the story of a revolutionary Chicano art group who turned 1970s LA into their defiant canvas. Merging activism with radical art-making, ASCO challenged the established order of Hollywood, museums, and media and are now considered amongst the 20th century's most significant artists. Director Travis Gutiérrez Senger mirrors their boundary-breaking spirit through a groundbreaking approach, weaving nonfiction and fiction together with a new generation of artists. The result is more than a profile – it's a reimagining of what's possible in art and cinema, celebrating iconoclasts who were decades ahead of their time.
