Devil's Freedom
Everardo González
Mexico, 2016. In some of the world's most dangerous cities life is not worth much. Looking into the eyes of the protagonists of violence, victims as well as executioners, helps to understand how fear inserted itself in the subconscious of our society. Through a network of concrete stories, we are facing the most obscure traits of the human psyche, the frail balance between humanity and evil.

El paso

Ricardo Chávez Aldana, Carlos Spector
This is a story about the families of those that once were our witnesses, our eyes and our voice, but were threatened, had to leave Mexico and forced to live in exile, seeking for political asylum. It is not about powerful journalists, it is about invisible reporters that represent the weakest links of the news network’s chain and now are living in an immigration limbo.

Stoffel Anamab, Homero Hernández
This is a movie built from impericia, from misunderstanding, from surprise and mutual amazement; it is a film that reflects on the idea of community, the relationship of mankind with the environment in which nature, beasts and human beings depend on each other to continue inhabiting a barren land.

Children of the Narco Zone
Everardo González
This short film speaks to how hard it is to teach in a violent atmosphere. Teachers have to adapt to union conditions, educational reforms, low wages, distances and isolation, and the great challenge in instilling in their students a moral code, in communities where this concept is fractured. How do you tell a child that his father or his brother’s actions destroy a society’s social fabric, when they think it’s normal to follow that moral code?
