Sisyphus is a journey through the rehabilitation of addictions in Mexico. In the absence of a public infrastructure to combat this problem, the annexes are the alternative that addicts themselves have created. The annexes are unofficial rehabilitation centers in which a method of rehabilitation thought apart from medicine or professional therapy is offered.

Reportage

Reportaje
Reportaje explores the relationship between death and crime journalism in Mexico City. Through photographers, press workers, and newspaper vendors, it observes how violence is transformed into narrative and how storytelling becomes a way to inhabit and transcend death. In parallel, a group of formerly incarcerated actors stages a crime that resonates with their own histories, turning performance into an act of memory and redemption. See More

Mechanical

Maquinal

Memory is a ghost. Lucio, a printing press worker, takes one last walk around the machines with whom he shared everything. He remembers when his mechanisms used to move and through that mechanical movement he reflects about his own life.
