Special screening for high school students Circo / Aaron Schock / USA, Mexico / 2010 / 75 mins
Doc_Next is an Antenna initiative to introduce young people to quality documentary cinema. Doc_Next provides a space for young people to immerse themselves in entertaining and thought provoking documentary and to inspire young people to have an appreciation of documentary as an art form.
In 2011 Doc_Next features Aaron Schock’s film Circo. Filmed throughout rural Mexico, Circo is a bittersweet portrait of the Ponce family, whose life is dedicated to running a travelling circus. Described as visual poetry, Circo opens the viewer to the luminous world of a traveling circus while examining the universal themes of family bonds and responsibility as well as the weight of cultural inheritance.
