Ruins  
01:27:31 1998

Jesse Lerner's Ruins, a hybrid film that blurs the line between fiction and documentary, melds culturally skewed anthropological films, staged scenes, and documentation about a Mexican antiquities forger to question not only the traditional reception and understanding of pre-Columbian culture, but also our very assumptions of historical truth as mediated through the camera lens.

In Spanish and English with English and Spanish subtitles.
