La quemada

12 years later, a failed school short film is resignified to share the multiple experiences that exist in the creation of a film.

Archipelago

A memory exercise, a crystalized moment in time that captures poetic and existential quotidian gestures. A journey into a world of estrangement in which nothing is what it seems, yet it gives way to the vision of a better future after the storm. A work that begins with a sequence of correspondences in the distance to gradually become an essay that reflects on the perception of time, confinement, the impact of man on nature and the very act of filmmaking.

Drama King

Rodrigo Rojas is a telenovela actor anxious to break away from his melodramatic roles. When a prominent film director arrives in Mexico, he jumps at the chance to make it in the movies, despite the humiliating blows to his pride.

To Remove the Heart

Art is the way in which some children from San Gregorio, Atlapulco, sublimate their trauma when witnessing the 2017 earthquake in Mexico.

The Dove and the Wolf

Displaced by the violence that swept their town, Paloma and Lobo survive trying to love each other. Through thirst, fear and nostalgia, Paloma wishes to go back home but Lobo lives tied to a memory that stops him from returning.

God and the Devil's Cumbia

Celso, a dancer and accordion player among the Soldiers of the Virgin, dreams of being a musician despite a bleak future. Desperate, he sells his soul to a cumbia-loving hitman, the Devil. As long as Celso lives, he will be a musician, but his music will be born from horror. This deal grants him power but also fear of losing it, as he sings of pain and betrayal. The horror becomes his fate, while cumbia resonates in the neighbourhood, and God and the Devil dance with him.

The Longest Dream I Remember
