Dirección, Guión

Medhin Tewolde Serrano es eritreo-mexicana residente en Chiapas. Después de su formación en cine documental, empezó a preocuparle el contar historias de otros/as. Desde entonces se dedicó a acompañar procesos de video participativo y comunicación comunitaria en España, Túnez, México, Honduras y Guatemala. El acompañamiento de estos procesos le revela su propio proceso de construcción de identidad como mujer  afrodescendiente, y ello la lleva a dirigir su primer largometraje documental: Negra.  Durante ese proceso conoce la historia de Gaspar Yanga, un héroe afromexicano, lamentablemente, muy poco conocido. Por eso decide hacer un cortometraje de ficción animado inspirado en su biografía y titulado Nyanga, homenaje al cimarronaje de ayer y de hoy.

Mexico will no longer exist!

¡Aoquic iez in Mexico! ¡Ya México no existirá más!

A frenetic view runs over a convulsed Mexico City, a colossal metropolis sustained by the myth of "mestizaje" and other colonial forms of violence. Past and present weave a flurry of images; fragmented memories of this land. Ancient deities are incarnated, while dreams overlap among intimacy, complicity and the tumult. This is an erratic film that invites us to reimagine the complex relationship we have with the constructed “mexicanidad.”

Zinzindurrunkarratz

Oskar Alegría embarks on a journey to recover the past. With a Super-8 camera that once belonged to his father and has remained untouched for 41 years, he plans to retrace the path of the shepherd: the journey of transhumance that his grandfather undertook in his youth, following now-forgotten coordinates. The result is a film that delights in the search —as well as the many detours along the way.
