Ciudad Ciudad isn’t a traditional portrait of a city; rather, the documentary offers a layered encounter with what emerges from within it. Carlos F. Rossini invites Maya Goded, Julio Hernández Cordón, and Nuria Ibáñez to co-direct an exploration of the gestures of Mexico City. The four directors choose their own unique starting points to immerse the viewer in an experience that presents a series of images—almost mirages— of this monumental metropolis. See More
Marimbas from Hell Don Alfonso is a courier and also plays the marimba. Accustomed to presenting his folkloric show at the fanciest hotels in Guatemala City, he begins to see people losing interest in the marimba which they consider an old-fashioned instrument.
