2023 | B/N | 70:00 Colonialism wiped out many Central and South American cultures—but not the Gunadule, the indigenous people of northern Panama. In 1925, they successfully resisted the repression of their culture by the Panamanian government. Over three days of fighting, they won their autonomy and thus saved their way of life. Known as the Dule Revolution, the glorious battle is commemorated each year with a reenactment involving hundreds of participants, including many children. The film convincingly shows the power of this community theater in maintaining a unique collective identity with a strong emphasis on cooperation.

Mexico will no longer exist! 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.” See More
