Artemio

Preceded by the short film Nichmal Son: Musica Que Florece

Artemio was born in the United States. But now he lives in a small town in Guerrero, Mexico, with his mother Cocco. Despite the roots he has in Mexico, Artemio never experiences a feeling of home in this place. The one constant in Cocco and Artemio’s lives is the black telephone sitting in their temporary home, connecting them to the people they love and the life they once had. Directed by Sandra Luz López Barroso, Artemio is a portrait of a mother and son navigating life to the best of their abilities in a place neither fully feels at home. Discussion with director Juan Javier Pérez Pérez (Nichimal Son: Musica Que Florece), moderated by Federico Cuatlacuatl (UVA)
