(2024, 15 min), a short historic fiction film by dir. Nuria Schettino González

El Tren y la Península
(2023, 88 min), a documentary feature by dirs. Sky Richards and Andreas Kruger Foncerrada
The Train and the Peninsula is an intimate portrait of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula as the controversial railroad megaproject known as the "Maya Train" is being built. A cinematic journey along the projected route of the train takes us on an immersive and epic journey across the peninsula. Through the fascinating stories and reflections of its inhabitants, the documentary exposes the environmental and social consequences of the development model imposed in the region. The directors weave together a collective narrative through the incisive and transparent testimonies of the peninsula's inhabitants and reveal a human landscape full of vitality and Mayan wisdom that exposes the clash between different ways of imagining progress.
