In Aztec mythology, Coyolxāuhqui was the Moon goddess who was dismembered by her brother Huītzilōpōchtli, the sun god of war and sacrifice. The film brings this deeply embedded story of Mexican heritage into a modern context, and parses out the legacy of patriarchy in a country that in 2022 was called "femicide nation".

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.
