Señales De Conquista: El Lienzo De Tlaxcala

2020 • Directed by

Jorge Bordello

Documentary

The screen broken in three echoes a colonial Tlaxcaltec codex. A montage over the political family militancy; the constant apparition of Tlaxcala as a welcoming territory to invasions. Images that move against the grain of the Indiginous prophecies that predicted the arrival of Spain; but also with the promises that preceded the signature of the TLC and the UFO historiography, so profoundly ingrained in Mexican idiosyncrasy.
