Polgovsky; Eugenio

Born in 1977 in Mexico City, Eugenio Polgovsky dedicated his work to the reality of the inhabitants of rural Mexico and to the borders between nature and modern civilization. He studied Direction and Cinematography at the CCC Film Training Center.

His documentaries Tropic of Cancer (2004), The Inheritors (2008), Mitote (2012) and Resurrección (2016) were recognized at the most prestigious festivals in the world; his films stood out for their original poetic, ecological and humanistic language. He received four Ariel Awards, the José Rovirosa UNAM award, a prize from the Hubert Bals fund of the Rotterdam Festival and the Joris Ivens Award from the Cinemma du Réel Festival, in addition to more than 30 international awards.

In 2010, he was guest director of the Robert Flaherty Seminar at Colgate University. Le Monde described him in 2011 as "A Magician of the Cinema" and, in 2016, he was the first filmmaker to receive the distinction as a Fellow of the Arts from Trinity College of the University of Cambridge, in England.

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.”
