Jeuh kieh a jm hm kahun will leave you with the aroma of an ancient tradition, one that finds its source in the Chinantla rivers in the north of Oaxaca state, in the community of San Felipe Usila. It tells the legend of a pre-Hispanic recipe that lives on thanks to the deep-rooted symbolism it holds for the Gachupín Velasco family, who have fought to preserve, reinvent, and share it so as to continue savoring their most cherished tradition.

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.
