Planning for a bilingual, traveling exhibition, a catalog, curriculum materials, and public programs on the history of Chicanx representation and participation in American filmmaking.

Scheduled to open at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in summer 2025, Borderlands (working title) will be an extensive research-driven in-depth look at Chicanx participation in American filmmaking. The exhibition will explore the groundbreaking narrative, documentary, and experimental films that ushered in new forms of representation for the Mexican American community. The project comprises a traveling exhibition with screenings of new film restorations, public programs, digital and educational content, and an accompanying exhibition catalogue.
