We will kick off this year's festival with a virtual premiere Friday November 13 with a Zoom cocktail hour followed by a screening of Sin Senas Particulares (Identifying Features).

Here is the full lineup of films:

11/13 7pm and 9pm Only!
Sin Senas Particulares (Identifying Features)- Magdalena hasn’t heard from her son in months—not since he left their town to cross the border into the United States. The authorities want her to sign her son’s death certificate, but an encounter with a bereaved parent makes Magdalena realize that she cannot live without knowing his fate. She begins an odyssey across Mexico, though areas of violence and desolation, chasing any available lead.

11/14‐11/19:
What Happened to the Bees-
After millions of bees suddenly died in Campeche, México, the Mayan beekeeping communities and their representatives decided to organize to find the cause and confront the authorities and the transnational company Monsanto.

Yib-
In an autonomous zone between Mexico and Guatemala, where the border did not exist before and today seems impassable, two eleven-year-old girls with Mayan roots try to change their lives with music. The two unequal cousins Alejandra and Aleyda have very different ideas of future and origin.

Lacus-
The great lakes of Mexico`s Valley, were a natural system to regulate the temperature of the country's capital. By disappearing them, we have created an ecological imbalance that we have not yet been able to reverse.

Tita: The Weaver of Roots-
Tita, from te Afro-Mexican community of Chacahua, in Oaxaca, supports her family by fishing. She is a strong woman on the lookout for opportunities for personal growth so she can partake more in her community´s wellbeing.
