Overview

Camilo Restrepo reappropriates and remixes a real General Motors promotional film depicting an early-1960s exhibition across the Darién Gap in Chevrolet Corvairs. As the representatives of the global North’s industrial might bridge the same chasm that stands between today’s migrants and the United States, Restrepo considers the unequal flows of people and property between the Americas.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sharp, provocative essay-film that juxtaposes corporate optimism with contemporary inequality, using archival footage as a mirror to expose who has always been free to move and who has not. It's brief but densely layered, asking hard questions about progress and borders.
