Author: redactie redactie
Mexico is in transitie. Het land verandert en kleine groepen proberen vast te houden aan hun tradities. Zo speelt de Mexicaanse hardrockband <i>Hamac Casiim</i> traditionele indianenliederen op beukende hardrockriffs, om de traditie ook voor jonge indianen aantrekkelijk te houden. Naast een portret van deze band is in dit blok de korte film <i>Ver llover</i> te zien. Regisseuse <b>Elisa Miller</b> won met deze film een Gouden Palm in Cannes en zal bij de vertoning aanwezig zijn.
