Ojoboca will present a new film performance, The Hot and The Cold, as well as other recent work. 

Collaborating under the name Ojoboca since 2010, the Berlin-based duo of Anja Dornieden and Juan David González Monroy provide a glimpse into our collective unconscious with their films and expanded cinema performances. As self-described practitioners of Horrorism, a simulated method of inner and outer transformation, Ojoboca probes the inconsistencies in the strategies of non-fiction filmmaking to rewrite history, imagine utopia and discover worlds that exist within this reality. 

"Ojoboca creates a fictional world around their films and performances, evoking the mechanisms and phantasmagoria of early cinema. Fascinated by hypnosis and the paranormal, they mix fables with meta-cinematographic forms, bringing us back to the time of 'cinema of attractions.'"  -Mónica Delgado, desistfilm.com
