Surgencia, Alejandro Montalvo, Hugo d’Acosta i Benito Molina. Mexico. (77’)

Surgencia represents the transformative energy of movement: the act of traveling, of meeting others, of stopping for a moment and realizing the irreparable mark that our humanity leaves on this world. Through this medium-length film, we discover the Baja California peninsula, not through the tourist destinations or the well-known landscapes, but through the Baja California of fishermen, travelers and early settlers. A peninsula that, unconsciously, reflects the true nature of the spaces we inhabit. Most of us live confined in cities that industrialize all the services and products we consume, distancing us from our roots and the natural environment.
