They show how economic independence, community, friendship, cultural pride and respect for "women's work" not only give a woman self-esteem and a sense of purpose in life, but contribute to the well-being of whole society. 6th Independent Vídeo & Interactive Phenomena Show

              An Informal Gaze (Una Mirada Informal) is the result of the interest born from the standardized pricing of different products, the symbolic value that we give them and the attitude of the salesmen to this phenomenon. Our chosen subject was the rubbish collected and classified in Mexico City and Copenhagen. The interpersonal relationships that are established in the black economy, above all with regard to illegal street trading, are the focal point of this proposal. We feel it is significant how not only the buyer and seller play a role, but also how a whole social structure regulates and permits – or represses – the trading which is carried out. Displaying merchandise and hiding from the law; running, looking, being seen, being invisible, all these are ways of behaving. What we tried to do is to identify some of the relationships that are established in an urban environment.

              The documentary Virikuta - La Costumbre allows us to accompany a group of Huichols in their annual pilgrimage to Virikuta for the ritual search for the peyote cactus, which provokes hallucinogenic effects when ingested. Before our eyes, we see a millennia-old pilgrimage as we travel with a group of men, women and children on their journey to Virikuta. The Huichols are a traditional people who maintain a mature relationship with natural elements that leads them to ecstatic states. This is a moving ritual, one of the most deeply significant living examples of the indigenous Mexican tradition.

              Since the 2003, the mexican government has been trying to build the La Parota hydroelectric dam. If built, it would flood several communities south of Acapulco. The campesinos who have resisted this project show us their lives, work, and love of the land in "And the River Flows On."

              Many of the indigenous communities in Chiapas have no access to potable water. Water and Autonomy looks at this serious problem and how the Zapatista communities are solving it. Through solidarity and training from internationals many communities are now building their own water systems. Members of the communities speak about ways the water project fits into their autonomous process, helps fight sickness, has provided a means of reflection for how to protect existing water sources and represents another means of resistance to globalization projects like the Plan Puebla Panama.
