Death Perra

For inSITE97, Miguel Calderon created a short film spoofing satanic practices near the San Diego-Tijuana border, incorporating stereotypical UFO paraphernalia and imagery to emphasize the "cheesy" nature of both subjects. The film, "Death Perra," was shown on a small television at the Casa de la Cultural de Tijuana. Produced in the style of a music video, Calderon used satanic UFO records as the sound track, mixing scenes of his friends playing records on turntables with scenes of artificial UFOs in different locations. --inSITE97
