Speeder Kills Director: Jimmy Mendiola USA, 2003, 83 min., Video English Screenings: Friday, March 19, 10:15 pm Videomaker Amalia Ortiz returns to Texas after having run out of inspiration and excuses to tell her funders about why she is two years late delivering her project. Her funk is broken when she hears a local punk band called Speeder rehearsing in a garage. Deciding to make her video about this band of malcontent misfits, Amalia chronicles days and nights of music, mayhem, hijacked parade floats and kidnapped Beauty Queens. Great music and film-within-a-film documentary segments from the director of Come and Take It Day, which screened at the 2002 SDLFF, and the Chicano punk cult classic Pretty Vacant. For mature audiences.
