THE DANCING CHICKENS OF VENTURA FABIAN 10 min.
A lively, award-winning bilingual video with music and animation about master woodcarver Ventura Fabian and his family. In their rural village of farmers and woodcarvers, each member of the family works together to create some of the country’s most colorful and creative folk art — the hand-carved, hand-painted wooden figures that have become one of Mexico’s most popular contemporary crafts.
The video opens a window into the daily life of this campesino/artesano family, revealing their unique world through a combination of documentary footage, interviews and animated musical segments of Ventura Fabian’s colorful creations.
