Guillermo Triguero, film critic and historian, presents Coming Attractions by Peter Tscherkassky, one of the fundamental names in found footage. Using artisanal techniques of contact copying and through meticulous work of re-signifying images, in this film the author explores the potential links between early film, experimental cinema and the world of advertising.
