The fantastical tales told by the household cook awaken the imagination of little Graciela, who brags to her friend Fabiola that she is a witch. In response to a series of coincidences, Graciela convinces her friend that she has caused them with her magic. The innocent game becomes macabre when Graciela asks Fabiola to invite her to her family’s ranch, where she will prepare a poison for the fairies.

Migrant dreams

Sueños que migran
A young tsotsil man living undocumented in New York City seeks to maintain his identity, from his now-forced exile, while exploring the profound meaning of migrating, the value of origins, and community. Inspired by the tradition of direct cinema, the documentary takes us from New York to a Tsotsil Mayan village, introducing us to various dimensions of migration. See More

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.”
