“Ana Mendieta: Fuego de Tierra” (1987) directed by Nereyda Garcia - Ferraz, Kate Horsfield and Branda Miller. 49 min. 
The film is a portrait of the life and work of Cuban-born American artist Ana Mendieta. Mendieta used her own body, the raw materials of nature, and Afro-Cuban religion to express her feminist political consciousness and poetic vision. Interview footage with Mendieta and her own filmed records of her earthworks and performances are incorporated to render a vivid testament to her energy and extraordinary talent, after her tragic death in 1985.
