La película de viajes en el tiempo que no se mueve.

Considerada una de las mejores películas de la historia del cine, esta influyente obra de ciencia ficción inspiró 12 Monos, de Terry Gilliam. Figura clave de la Nouvelle Vague, Chris Marker es el genio detrás de este magistral mediometraje sobre el poder de la memoria, contado exclusivamente a través de fotos fijas, en la que un hombre trata de reconstruir el recuerdo de su amada, en tiempos de la Tercera Guerra Mundial.

Tras una apocalíptica guerra nuclear, el mundo ha quedado devastado. Un grupo de científicos del bando vencedor llega a la conclusión de que el único modo de salvar a la humanidad es recurriendo a los viajes a través del tiempo: o bien mandar a una persona al pasado para pedir ayuda, o al futuro para buscar una solución a la situación presente. El elegido para realizar el viaje a través del tiempo es un prisionero. by @sergiovmora

Maya Deren the mother of avant-garde film

In 1943, Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid made Meshes of the Afternoon at their home in Los Angeles with a 16mm Bolex and almost no budget.

The 14-minute film follows a woman (played by Deren) who comes home, dozes off, and falls into a dream that keeps repeating. Every time it loops, the same objects come back and mean something a little darker. She meets copies of herself, stairs stretch on forever, and the line between sleeping and waking disappears.

It has no dialogue and no conventional plot. It runs on dream logic, built from match cuts, slow motion, handheld subjective camera and impossible continuity, so a single step can carry her from sand to grass to pavement to carpet.

Deren called it a film about how the inner life turns an ordinary event into a critical emotional experience.

More than 80 years later, its influence still shows up in David Lynch, music videos and almost every surreal short made since.

It’s proof that you don’t need resources to make something unforgettable. You need a vision and the nerve to follow it. 🎞️

@holamexicoff tft 2026 core memories 🔓

I spent 10 days with some of the most talented, kind & wonderful people that I can now call my tft family 🤧

We spent countless hours sitting in different theaters watching movies, listening to incredible guest speakers and witnessing the grandeur of the best ad of all time “french kiss” 😦 (we even created our own version! coming soon…)

Thank you so much to all of you for making this an unforgettable experience! 🫂🫂

Thank you @holamexicoff @samueldouek @diana29luna & @jpmedinarodriguez for giving us this once and a lifetime opportunity to connect with fellow latine filmmakers that kept blowing my mind with their endless talent & incredible energy! The work that guys are doing is amazing, I’m a fan!! 🥳🥳

Thank you @oscar.a.flores for introducing me to this wonderful fellowship!

Thank you to my incredible and beautiful wife @vanessaxvazquez_ that is always happy to support me in all my crazy endeavors! I wouldn’t be able to be where I am without you! Te adoro hermosa!

I love creating time capsules, and I know for a fact that this will be one of my favorites!

one of my favorite photo series of all time!

Kitchen Table Series (1990) by @carriemaeweems

For this series, Carrie Mae Weems staged and photographed a fictional drama in which she plays the lead. The setting is always the same: a small room with a table and a single overhead light. Other cast members play lovers, friends, and daughters.

From this modest setup, the artist creates an entire world. The kitchen, traditionally considered a female space, has rarely been pictured as a site of importance. Weems turns this idea on its head. She suggests the kitchen table is the real stage where life’s biggest moments play out, and where the full range of human emotions is expressed.

The series compellingly examines women’s lives. It boldly asserts, in particular, Black womanhood’s complexity, strength, and beauty.
