- "What is the revolution for you now? Not last more than 10 minutes before the end of the year."
These parameters were issued to Pablo Cruz Diego Luna, Gael García Bernal, Carlos Reygadas, Rodrigo Plá, Amat Escalante, Mariana Chenillo, Fernando Eimbke, Gerardo Naranjo, Rodrigo Garcia and Patricia Riggen to conduct their shorts: Pacific, Lucio , This is my kingdom, 30/30, The priest Nicolás hung, the company store, The Home, R-100, The 7th and Alvarado and Lindo y Querido respectively.
already said the synopsis: "Ten different voices come together to create a contemporary vision of the Revolution in Mexico (..) This ten stories to outline a plural perspective from very different aesthetic universes that enrich the collective imagination ".
The function was attended by all directors, except the two Garcias, among the spectators, there were also gems of Mexican cinema as Damián Alcázar. The presentation took place Diego Luna stating that any award be expected since in Morelia Cannes had gone quite well.
As usual in most of the submissions of short films, the result is uneven, while some struggle to tell a story with the limitations posed by using no more than ten minutes of video, there are other tricks that make use of alleged aesthetic or narrative resources to cover the truth: they have nothing to tell.
Among the best works: Tienda de Raya, the priest Nicholas hung, The Welcome, Lindo y Querido, and 30/30. After the screening session started questions and answers. Topics rolled around pessimism pervaded in the plots of the films and the question: Is back this movie late 90's where everything is Mexico City in sorrow, insecurity and crime, or with people like Inarritu is conducting an evolution of Mexican cinema? Diego's answer was simple: "In Mexico there are good filmmakers, but believe it look at Damien who is sitting there and is one of the great, what's in Mexico are eager to tell, to express, to throw up what you have inside. "
Diego's answer is the truth, in Mexico there are filmmakers who have managed to shine based on their talent and effort, however, this involves many things: If Inarritu makes the Oscar, if Damian makes the leap to the big foreign productions, if you Gael Garcia is a guy Almodóvar, if Cuarón becomes a renowned director, not only in Mexico but in the world, all these are individual efforts that do not reflect a movement or a fellowship or as they say "new move" that being born in the country, most filmmakers tend to give up national issues as they can. Ribbons Iñarritu How many are developed in our country? The performances of Gael García Bernal year How many productions are Mexican? Task stays.
