Oscilloscope Laboratories has premiered the trailer for Gods of Mexico, the film written and directed by Helmut Dosantos, which will open on Friday, March 3 at the Firehouse: DCTV's Cinema for Documentary Film in New York City, with screenings in select locations nationwide in the following weeks.
With visually stunning landscapes and immersive sound, Gods of Mexico is a poetic survey of the vast landscapes and rich diversity of several communities of rural Mexico. Using richly saturated color and hypnotic black-and-white interludes, filmmaker Dosantos takes viewers through salt pans, deserts, highlands, jungle, and underground mines—paying tribute to those who fight to preserve their cultural identity amidst the shadows of modernization.
The film had its world premiere at last year’s True/False Film Festival, and it marks the debut feature by Dosantos, who co-produced Tatiana Huezo’s acclaimed film Prayers for the Stolen.
