Teodoro in concrete takes us in tour of the most significant buildings of Mexican architect Teodoro González de Leon. While it allows to join him in his last trip trough New York, Paris and Marseille, just a few months before his death in September 2016. This is a documentary that plays with light, still shots and a black and white photography that detonates the severity and sobriety with which the architect conducted his life.

The Arruza Years

Los años Arruza
In 1960, the American filmmaker Budd Boetticher arrived in Mexico to direct Arruza, a semi-documentary feature film about the popular Mexican bullfighter Carlos Arruza. The production process, which took more than ten years, may be among the longest and most complicated in the history of cinema. In this documentary, Boetticher discusses and confronts the images and memories of that chaotic adventure. See More

Niños Héroes

Niños Héroes
In 1976, the new facilities of the Military College, designed by architect Agustín Hernández Navarro, were inaugurated. The latter perhaps did not fully appreciate the congruence of his architectural proposal with the vital force of this space. Showing the daily lives of the cadets, the documentary becomes an X-ray not only of the Military College, but of Mexico as a whole. The documentary tells the truth, but presents it as fiction.
