In cooperation with the Mexican Film Institute (IMCINE) and the International Film Festival Guanajuato we cast a glance on new films of young and promising Mexican directors: with eight feature- and documentary films as well as two short-film programs – among them numerous international, European and German premieres. The Mexican feature film is on the move: In A SEPARATE WIND two teenager start their 2,500 km way to Casa Grande, ONE FOR THE ROAD serves three pensioners as motto to fulfil the last wish of their friend, and GUTEN TAG, RAMÓN tells the story of a Mexi- can, whose sixth attempt to escape takes him to Wiesbaden. GÜEROS shows an urban odyssey of an old car in black and white, and in LOS ÁNGELES a family prepares their eldest son’s escape to the US. The tragicomedy THE HAMSTERS portrays a middle- class family, where everyone hides their secrets in front of the others. Less hidden, the documentary THE NAKED ROOM provides intimate insights into the lives of depressive children and in THE YEARS OF FIERRO we suffer with the Mexican incarcerated in a death cell in the US. For the country-in-focus program Mexico we tinkered a colourful Piñata: a filled figurine made of papier mâché, in which many (filmic) surprises and guests from Mexico wait to be uncovered. exground filmfest dankt dem Mexikanischen Konsulat in Frankfurt am Main für die Un- terstützung der Reihe. // exground filmfest thanks the Mexican Consulate in Frankfurt/ Main for supporting the program. intros zu den reihen
