4 unusual facts about MeAnda – Don


MeAnda – Don

MeAnda – Don is a satirical video clip created by non-profit Mexican independent organization VideoGENTE.

In January 2006, VideoGENTE was invited to make a satiric video for a local contest of video parodies in a night club, in the town of Alvarado, Veracruz, in Mexico.

This is understandable in the cultural context of Alvarado, the city where the video was shot.

VideoGENTE received an invitation to submit the video clip to the 16th Annual InsideOut Toronto Lesbian and Gay Film and Video Festival, for which they presented an English subtitled version in its original video format (version circulating in the web was in a lower definition).
