Description
AZTECS introduces the last great civilisation of central Mexico, which flourished from the mid-14th century to its destruction by the invading Spanish in 1521. Presented by sculptor Antony Gormley, the film complements the astonishing 2002-3 exhibition of Aztec culture at London’s Royal Academy. Many of the extraordinary and splendid works loaned to this show are illustrated, along with sculptures and other objects filmed on location in Mexico City and at important Aztec sites such as Tenochtitlan and Teotihucan. With contributions from British and Mexican curators and academics, the film explores how the nomadic tribe of the Aztecs drew inspiration from earlier cultures. It looks at the Aztec understanding of the natural world, at their complex system of gods, and at the importance to their religion of human sacrifice and ritual blood-letting.
