Ancient Maya and Aztec objects have been shown in circuses, art galleries, World's Fairs and natural history museums. This experimental documentary suggests how diplomacy and Pan-Americanism recast archaeological objects as art. Part faked newsreel, part travelogue, part drug-induced hippie rant and part home movie, "Ruins" features Brigido Lara, a master forger whose latter-day "Pre-Colombian" objects were exhibited in New Yorks Metropolitan Museum of Art and suggests parallels between the documentary film and the fake.
