How many films exist within a film?

This multisensory installation, rooted at the intersection of cinema and visual art, marks the 25th anniversary of Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s legendary debut feature Amores Perros (2000). Over a million feet of film were left behind on the cutting room during the film’s edit. A selection of these never-before-seen fragments has been excavated from the archives for the first time, and they are illuminated here by an assemblage of 35mm projectors, forming a mosaic of celluloid and sound bites of Mexico City collected over the last decades. Stripped of all narrative, the installation is not a tribute but a resurrection—an invitation to experience what never was. Drawing on the raw power and visual poetry of imagery left behind long ago, SUEÑO PERRO presents film as living material—one that is composed of time, light, and space—prompting us to ask: How many films exist within a film?
