Colectivo Los Ingrávidos
The Colectivo Los Ingrávidos (Mexico) was formed in 2012 in order to provide a radical, avant-garde alternative to the commercial and corporate mode of filmmaking. The collective has made over 500 short films and have been selected by festivals and institutions such as International Film Festival Oberhausen, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Anthology Films Archives, Flaherty Film Seminar, Media City Film Festival and Crossroads SFCinematheque. Both Piramide erosionada (2019) and Ritual (2024) had their world premiere at IFFR.
