Colectivo Los Ingrávidos from Tehuacán, Mexico, is an association of artists founded in 2012 that addresses issues deeply rooted in Mexican society with aesthetic references to avant-garde film movements. The collective arose out of a need to counteract the commercialised and ideologised audiovisual grammar of television and cinema. Politically charged to such an extent and consciously continuing the manifestos of Brazilian Third Cinema filmmaker Glauber Rocha, “The Aesthetics of Hunger” and “The Aesthetics of Dreaming”, they articulate anger and resistance while also creating space for beauty, magic and trance.
Whether as a digital, activist short clip for social media or as a cinematic poem shot on 16mm and presented at major international film festivals, the collective has now produced around 300 works dealing with complex phenomena such as social protest movements, land grabbing, violence by the state and drug cartels, film history, agitprop or mythological narratives. Analogue and digital materials and aesthetics are interwoven, edited, altered and constantly re-examined. This often gives the films a colourful, ecstatic and delirious character.
We are showing a total of 17 works in two programmes, compiled by artist and filmmaker Daniela Zahlner and Dietmar Schwärzler, curator and managing director of the Austrian experimental film distributor sixpackfilm. Presented for the first time at the Viennale 2024.
