The Film
Colette was determined to make a video and apply to Art Bo in Colombia. She dreamed of the New Museum in N.Y, perhaps the Jumex Foundation in Mexico City? Being a very smart porcine she realized that her trotters were a hindrance when it came to operating a camera. In a very short space of time she had persuaded some local friends, filmmakers, artists, journalists, writers, editors, and musicians who live in Todos Santos to help her. The group, known as the Colettivo were devoted to realizing her unique vision. At a certain point during filming the Colettivo realized that Colette’s determination, against considerable odds, to become a great artist was in itself an intriguing story.They supported Colette as a director. Her story became:
Colette: The Artist. Plus Colette’s art video.
