Sensemayá

Colectivo Los Ingrávidos | Mexico, Norway | 2021 | 7' |

| IFFR 2024

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.
