SYNOPSIS
Shot in Chiapas Mexico, “The Stag’s Mirror” is an allegorical response to an intricate story described in Rosario Castellano’s novel, The Book of Lamentations. This poetic ethnographic film offers an alternative to the kind of documentary that either valorizes its subjects or extinguishes their power. Structurally, the film is a composite of interlaced imagery and text that establishes a break with progressive narrative and how this is represented in film.
