Her practice bounces between live-action and animated forms of image making, playfully experimenting with the connections between the two. Kerr’s film work traces the transformative moments in one’s life, both inside and outside of our bodies. She explores visions of nature, abstractions of movement, and other invisible dramas.

Victims of Sin

Dir. Emilio Fernández
84 min

This movie is a hot scramble of piety and passion, sentimentality and sleaze. Ninón Sevilla plays Violeta, a rumba sensation who oversteps when she rescues a newborn from the trash. This gets her fired and wins the enmity of the pimp who fathered the kid.

Sensualidad

Dir. Alberto Gout

Prostitute Aurora (Cuban-born dance queen Ninón Sevilla) gets out of prison and exacts her vengeance by seducing the very married and respectable judge who put her behind bars (Fernando Soler). Eros makes a mockery of rectitude and righteousness.
