Why watch this film?
You don't have to be a particularly observant person to notice that, within any metropolis in the world, there are as many different cities as inhabitants. It's something as obvious as it is inevitable and yet, that seems to be the thesis of 'City', a feature film co-directed by Carlos Rossini ('The Mayor'), Maya Goded ('Plaza de la Soledad'), Julio Hernández Cordón ('Buy Me A Revolver') and Nuria Ibáñez ('The Naked Room'). Perhaps with Vértovian aspirations in concept (though not in execution), 'City' shows, but does not contrast, the realities that coexist in the Mexican capital, which would be more appropriate for a picture book (beautiful, that is) than a movie.

Plot summary
Más que componer el retrato de una urbe, este documental ofrece la construcción de un encuentro con lo que aflora en ella. Carlos F. Rossini invita a Maya Goded, Julio Hernández Cordón y Nuria Ibáñez a codirigir “una mirada” que nos plantea la búsqueda y el descubrimiento de los gestos de esa ciudad. Ellos eligen desde dónde explorar, sumergirse y compartir esta experiencia: una serie de espejismos en una urbe monumental.

Documentary
The Falling Sky
Documentary about Indigenous peoples’ profound connection to nature and their struggle against deforestation, a grave threat to their way of life and the ecosystem they call home.
Edita
Edita - Receiving a special mention from the jury at the FICIQQ, Chile, in 2022, this biographical documentary delves into the life of a rebel, feminist and single mother, whose story had been hidden by both her family and official history. It tells the intriguing story of Edita, a Trotskyist woman, Bauhaus student and persecuted by Nazism, in the context of the military dictatorship in Chile during the 1980s.
What Jennifer Did
Netflix's true crime documentaries are as successful as they are predictable: a case is presented, something doesn't add up, a new revelation emerges, controversy or shock ensues. The same goes for What Jennifer Did, a documentary that delves into the controversial case of Jennifer Pan in Canada during 2010. If you remember it from the news, you already know what the story is about. And if not, you'll soon find out: the documentary follows the same true crime formula, so expect twists and surprises in the narrative.
The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem
A documentary that explores how the internet has progressed from the promise of democratic knowledge and innocent entertainment to a breeding ground for misinformation and even violence that spills over into the real world. The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem traces the path from the social network 4Chan and builds its genealogy up to Facebook and the events of January 6, 2021, in the United States. It doesn't present reflections that aren't obvious to those who have read books or watched other films about the impact of social media, but it's a good starting point to learn about how misinformation works on the internet.
