First, I Dream
Two anonymous farmworkers narrate and recount their adolescence growing up in rural villages and the lack of resources that ultimately led them to leave towards the state of California. They reflect on the dangers they faced crossing through the southern border and the multiple risks they took getting to the U.S. even after being detained. The variety of crop fields stitch together and serve as a visual reference for the daily circumstances that come with living in the shadows as an undocumented farmworker.
Director: Andrés Lira
Duration: 17 min

Chronicles From the Other North
For almost three years, a foreigner installed in different sites in Chihuahua (northern Mexico), a small trailer called "La cabina de los sueños" (The cabin of dreams). An installation open to anyone who wanted to share a dream. One of those that remain engraved in the memory, with the same intensity of a recollection. With the aim of starting to finally recount the story of humanity in its sleep. And to find in that journey, the key to his own story. A story that has tied him, mysteriously, to that place.
Director: Miguel León
Duration: 90 min
