La bestia – Train of the Unknown (Manuel Inacker, 2018), 24'

“Casa del Migrante” in Huehuetoca, a suburb at the gates of Mexico City, is a safe haven for migrants. At least for two days. Then they must go on with their journey towards north in freight train carriages, which everyone here just calls “La Bestia,” the beast.

Ex-Shaman (Luiz Bolognesi, 2018), 80'

The uncontacted tribe from Amazônia Paiter Surui has been encroached by modernity since its first contact with the white man in 1969. Smartphones, electricity, gas tanks, guns, and Facebook replace the traditional forms of life. In the midst of this new world, an ex-shaman who was forced into evangelical Christianity struggles to cure the suffering people of his village and faces the wrath of spirits of the forest who are upset he has abandoned them.

Entrance to all festival programs is free.
