SP: Como parte del programa extendido de Latin American Land/Escapes en SOIL Artist-Run Gallery*, se presentan una serie de corto y largometrajes situados en torno a distintas aproximaciones con las vivencias del habitar el territorio en latinoamérica, desde la cruda realidad del extractivismo, hasta ensoñaciones poéticas sobre lo que alguna vez llamamos hogar.
EN: As part of the extended programming of Latin American Land/Escape at SOIL Artist-Run Gallery*, a series of short and feature films are presented around different approaches with the experiences of living in the territory of Latin America, from the harsh reality of extraction, to poetic reveries about what we once call home
Films in this program include:
POZO (2024, dir. Diana Cantarey, 40min 20sec)
Crude secrets about the Cantarell oil field, Mexicos most prolific offshore oil reserve, are portrayed in reverse in the visionary documentary Pozo. The mysteries of the bastard family of the fisherman who discovered the countrys greatest energy treasure are accompanied in chorus by the intrigues, apparitions and petrosexoracial traumas of the inhabitants of Ciudad del Carmen, an island radically transformed by the voracious hydrocarbon industry. The chants of the gods of darkness, of crude oil and of the end of time, accompany and guide this return to the eternal source of emptiness.
This invocation does not count the facts from the end to the beginning, but undoes them, diminishes them, de-refines them, decreases them, deconsumes them, de-extinguishes them.
POBO TZU (2021, dir. Tania Ximena, 1hour 12min)
In 1982, the Chichonal volcano, located in the state of Chiapas, erupted. It buried the surrounding communities, including the Esquipulas Guayabal ejido. Guided by the Zoque worldview, Tania Ximena created the documentary Pobo Tzu White Night, which dreamily records the work of the ejidatarios (communal landowners), who, three decades after the eruption, decided to unearth their ancient village.
This programming is made possible by the generous support of the Consulate General of Mexico

Accessibilité
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at rajah@nwfilmforum.org
