"Cabo Tuna or The Management of the Sky" is a materialistic re-reading of the history of artificial satellites and digital surveillance which, using footage found exclusively on YouTube, intertwines the origins of the Nazi and Soviet arms industries with the digital surveillance systems used in the Mexican context of the war on drugs. This narrative arc allows for an exploration of the Mexican government's failed attempts to create its own aeronautical rockets, the growing dependence on technology from foreign powers and companies, the privatization of space, and finally, the contemporary strengthening of the state's military control.

While the numbers of missing persons in Mexico continue to rise, Tótem explores the particularities of this type of violence, and imagines new forms of resistance in the movements that have arisen against it. The story of two archaeologists searching in vain for an ancient Olmec head in a murky river appears recurrently, questioning the very act of documenting the absent and the invisible.

Just a few decades ago, Acapulco was one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. Today it is one of the cities with the most murders per capita. Bringing together stories about five emblematic Acapulco objects and characters, Biombo de Acapulco is an experimental documentary that records the contrasting complexity of this once-global port. Combining a non-linear and polyphonic narrative with a discordant montage composed of diverse audiovisual materials about the place, the film is inspired by the oriental screens that arrived in America through the port of Acapulco in the 16th century.
