"I'm thinking of calling Barragán's ghost." Oscilloscope Labs has debuted the first trailer for a provocative, fascinating documentary titled The Proposal, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last year, and played at Hot Docs and Sheffield Doc/Fest. Made by artist Jill Magid as her directorial debut, the film is about an award-winning Mexican architect named Luis Barragán. His work, including all his artwork and more, is aggressively "protected" by its Swiss copyright holders, at the expense of public access. Barragán's professional archive - including the rights to his name and work - was acquired in 1995 by Swiss furniture company Vitra. The film explores the contested legacy of the late Barragán by attempting to gain access to his work, starting a debate in Mexico on his archives. This looks like such a captivating story - need to see it. ›››
