Why watch this film?
Selected at the Morelia Festival in 2021 and awarded at FICUNAM in 2022, Pobo 'Tzu' (Noche Blanca) is a film that subtly breaks down barriers between documentary and fiction given its theme and protagonists. The feature-length film is set among the inhabitants of Nuevo Guayabal, survivors of the Chichonal volcano eruption that buried the original Guayabal in 1982. It's a story of resistance, identity, and mysticism, as a poet born on the day of the eruption has visions in a narrative that gives voice to both the people and their myths.
