SCUM MUTATION

Here you are SCUM, creature in cage. Inside the rage of our age, your individual and societal wound questions our visceral link to violence. SCUM, in your hands of silicon young germs in mutation are growing. This film is about the ongoing paradigm shift, the authoritarian rise, the consequences of oppressions and repressions on bodies and minds and our means of action.

VHS as a transitional technology from the turn of the millennium.

AN EXEMPLARY PUNK

We didn’t want to be anyone’s example, nor did anyone set us as an example. From our first slam together, I knew we were going to be connected forever. You also understood the power of that catharsis, the power of not being conformed. This is a goodbye with the same intensity of that dance, an opportunity to validate the contradiction and for us to meet one last time where we most liked to be, where no one told us what we had to be.

Mexico 2023 / 11:00 / Director: Diandra Arriaga

PURE HATE

Pure Hate shows a woman’s ritualistic journey to the forest where she shoots clean, white picture frames into pieces. As the white gypsum dust settles, birds are singing and the woman’s eyes clear up.
