Mexico | Imaginantes Series

So, continuing with the Mexico's Bicentennial commemorations here is an animation piece I helped out to illustrate. The piece is part of the project Imaginantes (Imaginarians), a cultural TV video segments produced by Televisa to tell short animated stories about influential people in Mexico's history, arts and literature. This particular segment is dedicated to Sergéi Eisenstein, a Russian filmmaker who produced some key projects for Mexico's film history during the first years of the 30's decade.
