In this documentary within a narrative-and vice versa-a, grandiose filmmaker (Alex Ross Perry) arrives in the Yucatán to scout locations for his new movie, a production that will involve exposing the last extant celluloid film stock on the eve of the Mayan Apocalypse. Riffing off Dennis Hopper’s The Last Movie, which was originally set to take place in Mexico, Mark Peranson and Raya Martin create a hypnotic meditation on the many predicted deaths of cinema which have never come to pass. As Ross Perry wanders around tourist sights, snarkily bemoaning the superficiality of the gringos, he’s led by his friend and assistant, Lázaro Rodriguez, who seems as equally confused by this whole endeavor as he is. Using a veritable cyclone of film and video formats, genres, modes, and methods, Martin and Peranson have created an unclassifiable work that mirrors the contortions and leaps of the medium's history and present.
