Ritual
An invitation to see the unseeable: the sun, many suns, burning gloriously into our retinas.

IFFR 2024
In the stark black-and-white images and clamour of the bells, an ecstatic reverie emerges. The simplicity of the premise is deceptive – fanged teeth, in positive and negative – it's in the rhythm of the edit that a new language pulsates. The spirits of these beasts live through their enduring dentata, here resurrected.

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.
