Coleman Miller’s film takes an obscure Mexican hospital drama, edits it, rewrites it (through subtitling), and turns filmmaking on its head. Uso Justo (loosely translated: “fair use”) is at once an existential, ridiculous and hilarious experimental film, a well targeted send-up of avant-garde filmmaking (and filmmakers), and a commentary on copyright law. A short film that works on every level.

Winner, Best of the Fest, Ann Arbor Film Fest and Official Selection at Rotterdam Film Festival.
