Synopsis: 'Latino Plastic Cover' is the first short film by Fulana (www.fulana.org), a Latina video collective from New York City. Through
parody and satire, Fulana explores themes that are relevant to Latino cultures in the U.S., delving into the nuances that
bind our experiences, experimenting with strategies to make visible what we're so often made to read between the lines. Their
work, which consists mainly of mock television commercials, music videos and print advertisements, responds to the ways products
and ideas are marketed to Latinos through the mass media. 'Latino Plastic Cover' is a mock cable access commercial for the
ultimate panacea, guaranteed not only to keep dust off your furniture, but to solve all kinds of social ills affecting the
Latino community and beyond. Discover the luxury of freedom!
