Nicolás Pereda draws on both documentary and fiction in films that have been described as “meticulous, minimalist, deadpan.” We welcome him to UC Berkeley’s Department of Film and Media with a presentation of one of his recent pieces. He writes, “The Private Property Trilogy . . . is a film performance lecture that surveys the life and work of C. B., a multifaceted artist, political activist, amateur archeologist, self-proclaimed anarchist, and creator of a mining museum in the northern Mexican desert. Stories of land rights and artistic endeavors become inextricably linked as I uncover the missing fragments of C. B.’s personal history.”
