At the Morelia Film Festival, Ximena Cuevas curated a program of short films by her long-time friend and collaborator Ricardo Nicolayevsky to pay homage to his decades-long body of work in light of his recent passing. The program began and ended with fragments of his short film “Impromptu” and included a selection of shorts he made of his friends and of himself between 1982 and 1985 during his time in New York City entitled “Lost Portraits.”
