Born from the snake of sacrifice, Sensemayá is shamanic and demonic, ecstatic and fantastic. A slight manipulation of home movie footage changes its context completely. Small moments from decades-old holidays in Mexico take on the weight of eternal myths full of euphoric rapture and evil evocations. A dance, a trance, a trip to the temples.

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.
