An audiovisual portrait about La Merced neighborhood in Mexico City

Short documentary on the transition to digital cinema, focused on its impact on film preservation and memory. The film guides us through a film laboratory, from the processing of the negative to the copying of the positive film, and complements this journey with interviews to directors of photography, industry professionals and heads of film institutions.

This film takes a dive into a photographic archive that portrays the 1968 student movement in Mexico. By reviewing over 1300 photographs of students, soldiers and citizens, and the development of a movement inside the Mexican capital, marked by the massive uprisings and the government's repression, the film questions the relationship between memory, power and representation.
