Tonantzin poster
NR

Latinofuturism composed of personal and documentary archives. What would happen if, instead of being fertilized by a feather that fell from the sky, Coatlicue were fertilized by a Mayfly? Huitzilopochtli would not be born from the womb, but a new Goddess, a new human species mingled with the world of insects. The Mexica believed that death was the beginning of another life, and therefore new humans die and are reborn to the rhythm of the sun.

Pétalos de leche poster
NR

An experimental short film intended to express how terrifying and violent a woman's growth can be, with the goal of depicting the uncomfortable feeling of losing her purity. A macabre atmosphere is achieved by using colors considered feminine, contrasting with the darkness of the night. The flowers function as an allegory of innocence, destroying them in different ways.
