A 3 Minute Hug
Director Everardo González belongs to a group of filmmakers who make it clear that documentary is the premier genre in Mexico. As he did with the raw 'La libertad del Diablo', this thirty-minute film, while short, packs a powerful punch and showcases that painful, broken Mexico again, this time offering a moving and completely emotional vision of the difficult reality experienced by thousands of families. It may not provide answers about the migration crisis between Mexico and its northern neighbor, but there is no truer truth than the pain and resignation on the faces of separated families. Above all, 'A Three-Minute Embrace' is a lesson in how film - and emotion - are capable of extending a brief moment we don't want to end.
Wilderness
From Mexican filmmaker Everardo González ("La libertad del diablo"), "Yermo" is a documentary that takes the director to a vast range of latitudes, exploring how life exists and is organized in various deserts around the world. Thus, the film becomes an exploration not of differences, but of the things we all have in common when facing an environment that reveals itself as a giant canvas, where humanity is not the protagonist, but just one of many elements that coexist and depend on each other.
