Películas de Muestra

The FICG 2009 it´s over.. and we will miss it.. but this time I could see some very wonderful films, and some other not that much.
Here are the names:

Shortfilms. A selection of mexican shortfilms. The one I like the most was De como los niños pueden volar, an watercolor animation with music from Alfredo Sanchez and Lila Downs.








The guitar. Opera prima from Robert Redford´s daughter, Amy Redford. A film about the power of music. Excellent.








Grizzi Sikniss. A documentary about a strange disease that only occurs to the Miskito people in Nicaragua. It started good but it was just redundant and not really deep.

Splinterheads. A film shoted in the marvelous Red One Camera.

Kautokeino opprøret. I have been fascinated by scandivian and northern cultures for a while, a long while.. and this is a very beautiful film full of some of the things I love from those cultures: the language (swedish, sami, norwegian), snow, reindeers, snowed dunes, snowstorms and vodka. It is a film about an historical moment in the Sami history, a story about represion and revolution, a story about the domination of the catholic church and the way it smashed and kills other ways of thinking and feeling the nature, a story that has been repeated too many times and in very cruel ways.
