Lilia Prado Festival
Saturday 26 June 2010
6 – 9 pm

In 1984, De Appel Arts Centre hosted Ulises Carrión's four-day event, Lilia Prado Superstar Film Festival, a screening of five films starring the Mexican actress, to which she was also invited. Prado was little known in the Netherlands at the time and this event was Carrión's attempt to situate his past culture in that of his present. Ulises Carrión’s retelling of the event, The LPS File, will be screened alongside Luis Buñuel's Subida al cielo, and tequila cocktails.
