In cinematic terms, a travelling entails the adjustment of the field of vision based on the movements the camera makes. Tracking shots convey a reinterpretation of the world triggered by the poetics of moving images. This section is comprised of three live presentations and an itinerant program that will be presented in various cities across Guanajuato. It is a journey that invites us to make our way through sound and visual landscapes where the border between art and cinema is blurred, while also shifting the conventions of the medium through animation, experimental ethnography, documentary, media archaeology, science fiction and expanded cinema. Abraham Castillo Flores, Andrea Guizar, Azucena Losana, Beth Frey, Bruno Varela, Charles Fairbanks, Christiane Burkhard, Elena Pardo, Iraís Fernández Alcaide, Israel Cárdenas, Jorge Bordello, Laura Amelia Guzmán, Lázaro Gabino Rodríguez, Nicolás Pereda, Proyecto Kazá, Saúl Kak, Simon Gerbaud.

Cochochi
Evaristo and Luis Antonio, two children from the Rarámuri community in the Sierra Tarahumara, embark on a journey through the mountains to the other side of a valley in search of medicine for a family member. The route–remote and rugged as the mountain itself–becomes a rite of passage for the children.

h’iketeia
Tempelhof in Berlin, Elliniko in Athens, and exNAICM in Texcoco are airports in the process of undoing, abandonment, or recovery–-suspended in time by financial speculation, the relocation of refugees, or the creation of human and environmental “sanctuaries.” Remnants, vestiges, and voices remain in all three of these spaces. h’ ι κ ε T ε i α is a lyric essay on the symbolic and material layers of these three geographies—all with a link to the director’s personal story. The dance of a mythological Ariadne punctuates warped audiovisuals, and the film puts human endeavors and geology in perspective while considering ways of inhabiting contemporary ruins to restore land ties and promote the right to shelter.

Trilogía de la propiedad privada
This cinematographic performance examines the life and work of C.B., a multifaceted artist, political activist, amateur archaeologist, self-proclaimed anarchist, and creator of a small museum dedicated to the history of mining in the Sierra de Catorce desert. Combining live performance, projected audiovisual material, and documentary and fiction film techniques, the piece tells a fascinating story that points to the many ways territories can be inhabited. For Nicolás Pereda, cinema provides the opportunity to intervene in and radically modify reality, and this piece is proof of that.
