Tenemos la carne (2016), Emiliano Rocha Minter's debut film, is in competition for Best Mexican Feature Film in our fourteenth edition.

Graduated from the National School of Art and Printmaking, in 2003 Rocha Minter directed the short film Dentro. Tenemos la carne follows siblings Lucio and Fauna who, in the midst of an apocalyptic city, find an old man obsessed with the idea of transforming his home into a cave. At a press conference, the Mexican director, accompanied by his production team presented his work to the press.

Director Emiliano Rocha on what led him to make the film

"We tried to follow that impulse to talk about things that we did not know, it was more intuition and it resulted in this script with these ideas. It was difficult."
