Peruvian born, Amsterdam based Mateo Vega’s short film “Center, Ring, Mall” will screen at the New Directors/New Films Festival by MoMA and Lincoln Center. The project focuses on three types of urban infrastructure: a data center, a ring road, and a run-down mall, which were built with different worldviews: visions of the future and US-influenced promises of progress that turned out differently than expected. The short premiered last January at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Find more information here.
