Batalla
A body thrashing through flowers becomes a metaphor for the students massacred in Iguala, Mexico.

IFFR 2024
An audio tour from an exhibition about the Americas is put in contrast with digital interpretations of the Mars rover. The mythic vision of adventure and conquest enabled Europeans to regard the native inhabitants of the Americas as alien and inhuman and to treat their 'discovery' as a vast empty space for occupation and exploitation. Final frontiers: both new and old.

Programme IFFR 2024
Focus: Colectivo Los Ingrávidos
Colectivo Los Ingrávidos (Tehuacán, Mexico) have been producing moving image works for twelve years, and in that time they have made over 500 films. In this programme we dive into some of their most important themes of political resistance, land, myth and trance, all in service to a counter-capitalist, anti-mass media revolutionary vision.
Did you know that Colectivo Los Ingrávidos are also joining us for a Talk this year? Find out more via the button below.
