Diego’s Portrait (A Revolutionary Gaze)

Gabriel Figueroa once told that for the 50th anniversary of Diego Rivera’s artistic work, he had the idea to commemorate it by making a short documentary. For this, he convinced Diego to be filmed while at work and invited photographer Manuel Álvarez Bravo as the cameraman, Figueroa being the producer. The documentary was never finished… Fifty years later we decided to work with this unique an unknown material to show, from our point of view, how these three great artists shared a vision.
