So happy to being part of this Fresnoy selection. My film Yollot was screened at the Nuit Blanche Kyoto 2020 in avant première. Thanks to the Fresnoy and the Institut Français in Kyoto, Japan.
I’d like to invite you to the screening of my last film DANA, CARNIVAL AND TZOMPANTLI during the annual exhibition of Le Fresnoy – National Studio named Panorama 21. This film is about Dana Karvelas, a Mexican transvestite that goes to the north of France to relieve the pain of the loss of her mother and thus answer the question: Both in the carnival and in the face of death, are we not all the same?
This film was shooted both in Mexico and France, through my work, I try to understand the human condition, as well as its contradiction, fragility, and ambiguity in the face of complex facts such as gender, migration, memory, and death.
