Supernatural visions and indigenous folk myths intrude in an unpredictable and dreamlike Mexican film about a family living in the shadow of the apocalypse. A living, organic work.
They Made Us the Night
Tesis laboral
José Antonio Hernández Martínez
A visual essay, it questions social relations within the labor system in our country. Four factories in the metropolitan area of Mexico City are taken as spots for anthropological exploration. Documenting industrial landscapes, factories, bosses, workers, machines and commodities, the film shows a reflection on how these relationships have an imprint on society outside the factories. This is a testimony on the dignity of workers and their daily labor, with all the effort it entails and how it is rendered invisible by consumer society.

Tránsito
José Antonio Hernández Martínez
"Transit" is the director's film diary about a trip whose farewell was marked by social unrest in Mexico City. The first stop is Barcelona, which portrays his immigrant status and uprooting parades, along with loss of identity and the Spanish economic crisis. That crisis will become the reason for a renewed flight to Morocco to investigate a case of injustice, then would come Russia and the new illusions of love and afterwards a new departure to the Sahara Desert, with its confused dreams and its paths of no return.
