"Shamanic Cinema: Trance as Resistance" brings together six short films by the Mexican independent artist group Colectivo Los Ingrávidos which depict what they call the “violent relational trance of our present.” Since forming in Tehuacán, Mexico in 2012, Colectivo Los
Ingrávidos has produced a substantial body of experimental film and video that pushes back against the political, economical, and ecological violence of the present through manipulation of visceral sonic and visual means, seeking to induce trance as a method of healing
and resistance. This program contains six films — Tonalli, Altares, Toloache, Quetzaltcóalt, Chamán, and Danzes lunares — which function as ritual, urging the viewer to bring attention to their mind in new ways, thus opening up new modes of deep listening and acute
awareness through spatiotemporal cinema-trance.

Following the screening, a member of Colectivo los Ingrávidos will appear for a conversation with guest curator Daisy Donaji Matias.

Note: Certain films in this program contain flashing images that may cause seizures or headaches for viewers with photosensitive epilepsy.
