Infiltrating videoclubs.The Zulú and Clear and Present Danger trailers are part of Nascimento/Lovera's edits-inserts video project. By inserting their re-edited versions of commercial films in rental video chain stores, inter-city buses, public television and the black market, they are able to anonymously maximize the distribution of their work, while also questioning the symbolic mechanisms of power which are no longer located in traditional centers of cultural production, but spread throughout everywhere.

UntitledThe Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela as connected to the worldwide movement against capitalist globalization. The evolution of the popular movement in Venezuela from the "Caracazo" riots of 1989 to the massive actions that brought revolutionary president Hugo Chávez back to power, 48 hours after a U.S.-led military coup in 2002. The main theme is how the Bolivarian Revolution, thanks to its incredible grassroots and networking power, is a revolution that transcends the national frontiers of Venezuela and contributes with concrete alternatives to the fight against neoliberal capitalism.
UntitledTo Exist is to Resist is the testimony of a fight that goes beyond the borders of the country where it takes place: the fight for a home. The film offers a reflection on private property from the perspective of those who have already taken over more than 160 buildings in the country of the Bolivarian Revolution. Throughout the film, we are taken into the heart of the “National Committee for the Homeless” by means of its main protagonists, dreamer-soldiers, “tomadores”, who take abandoned buildings in order to give them back to the people who built their ceilings and walls, and could only look at the locked door from the outside...
It's the eighties, “times of peace and class compromise”, and only a handful of young people resist the lethargy and protest, to the extent of paying with their lives for daring to believe in a fairer world. They are times of a social unrest that is strange and therefore incomprehensible to a large part of Venezuelans. Pégale Candela is a historical record of a country that awakens from the Saudi delusion and explodes violently in a process that has been identified as the genesis of contemporary Venezuelan times: the “Caracazo”, 27th of February 1989.
From an agroecological and alternative perspective to capitalist globalization, "monte culebra" approaches the productive and organizational processes of peasant collective experiences in western Venezuela. A critical look at the agricultural development model that the Bolivarian government's agrarian policy promotes in rural cooperatives as a strategy to achieve food sovereignty. In addition, the evaluation of self-managed peasant experiences that practice agroecology -for more than 30 years- and participate in a network of food production and distribution through urban consumer fairs. "Monte Culebra" traces the history of Venezuelan rural displacement (common denominator in the world's peasant populations) and its resistance. In a context of corporate media dictatorship, community television emerged as a tool for the counter-hegemonic struggle, accompanying the experiences of rural life. Agroecological practices, inspired by ancestral methods and peasant rationality, insurge the agribusiness-educational paradigm and challenge the creativity of a government that tests new forms of territorial political action.
