The Little will screen The Proposal (Jill Magid, U.S. 2018, 86 min.) followed by a discussion with Jill Magid as part of the One Take Documentary Series.

Celebrated conceptual artist Jill Magid set her sights on an ambitious new project: an exhibition inspired by the visionary Mexican architect Luis Barragán. The only trouble was, one woman in Switzerland owns Barragán's entire professional archive. And, for more than 20 years, she has kept it inaccessible to the public.

Unable to execute her original goal, Magid instead redirected her focus to this spellbinding documentary about her unlikely journey into a legal quagmire and her attempt to question the inaccessibility of Barragán's work. With its measured pacing and haunting ambience, Magid's hypnotic film is an engaging examination of artistry, diplomacy, and posterity at a crossroads.
