HORSE is the first installment of Long Walks with Anzaldúa, a 70-80 min documentary about the influential scholar, poet, social critic, philosopher, Chicana dyke-feminist, Gloria Anzaldúa (1942-2004) and the first feature-length documentary film by Patricia Montoya.
Statement by Patricia Montoya
Gloria Anzaldúa was a pioneer of gender and sexuality studies, Chicano and Latinx studies, and intersectionality. Her theories transcend the limitations of geography to include spirituality, diversity, and social justice and speak to me directly as it has to academics, activists, and LGBTQ + and BIPOC people around the world. With this project, I approach the challenges of belonging and identity through her radical imagination, spirituality, and theories. Like Gloria Anzaldúa, I navigate many worlds. We share a story of survival and a struggle to belong to a world that renders our work inscrutable and our existence invisible.

One: My mother was a refugee, I’m an immigrant and whenever there’s a story about immigrants by immigrants, I want to be a part. Two: If I say that black lives matter, I need to see images of black and brown people and hear the stories of black and brown people. Three: Gloria Anzaldúa was a dyke feminist, so please tell her story because that story affirms my story."

This is a quote from Gloria who talks a lot about bridges throughout her work, one is: “caminante no hay puentes se hacen puentes al andar" (voyager there aren’t bridges you make your bridges in the course of your passage, or your travel). I think that Gloria’s work made bridges to so many others by opening up the possibility of identification, and I think that had profoundly to do with her incredible vulnerability, and the intimacy of her writing. That’s another reason that I am so looking forward to Patricia’s transformation of her work into a visual language.
