Brujos y curanderos

Pre-Hispanic concepts are shown mixed with the religion imposed by the colonizers, thus creating a religious-magical-medical system that balances between good and evil and is in itself its balance. An example of this are the magical divinatory rites and the use of plants by traditional doctors and witch doctors in the south of Veracruz, presented in this documentary.

I Know All Three

The story confronts women with their shared reality, exploring machismo as a product of a patriarchal capitalist system and highlighting its impact on their daily lives.

Breaking the Silence

This heterodox work draws on fiction resources and the register of documentary to denounce the phenomenon of rape in Mexico. With a complex essay-like structure, the film is a reflection on the various types of sexual violence, from the classist legal apparatus and the connivance of religious institutions, to rejection of and discrimination against victims. At the same time, it introduces community alternatives for victim support. A project by “Cine Mujer,” this film exemplifies the group’s motto and mode of production, and thus one of the maxims of feminism: no personal solutions; only collective action for collective solutions.

Cualquier Cosa

An actor from the provinces, a soap-opera star, reaches the big city with dreams of success. Partly through sincerity and partly prompted by an uneasy conscience, he wants to revolutionize the traditional photo-novel by linking it to social and political reality, to "bring social conscience to the masses" by utilizing this traditionally manipulative and alienating mass medium. The film narrates, in a tragicomic tone, the itinerary followed by Gualberto Rodriguez in his efforts to produce his 'revolutionary' photo-novel: the story of a peasant that migrates to the city, becomes a blue-collar worker, tries to establish a union, and ends up falling in love with the factory owner's daughter. The 'revolutionary' ends up being used, manipulated, and his project fails completely.
