Querida Benita

About This Movie

Querida Benita is quite the intriguing piece, a fusion of performance and visual art that bends the boundaries between film and video. Rafael Corkidi's approach is, frankly, a bit unconventional, using the stage of the Manuel M. Ponce Hall to create an almost immersive experience. The atmosphere is heavily infused with a sense of experimentation, making it feel like you’re witnessing something that’s not just a film but a living art piece. The pacing shifts quite a bit; it’s not your typical narrative flow. Instead, it’s more about the emotional resonance and the visual manipulation that draws you in. This film has a distinct fingerprint—definitely not something you see every day.

Querida Benita is a rare gem in the realm of home video, often overlooked due to its unique format. Its scarcity in collector circles adds to the mystique, and it’s one of those pieces that can spark fascinating discussions among enthusiasts. While not widely available, those who manage to find a copy often treasure it for its experimental nature and the rich context it provides in the evolution of video art.
