Ollin Blood

About This Movie

Ollin Blood is a unique blend of documentary and performance art, set against the backdrop of Mexico City during the spring of 2020. The film captures a group of friends rehearsing a play, gradually weaving in the rich tapestry of the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán valley. The narrative feels like a dreamlike exploration, with moments that blur fiction and history. The atmosphere is quite haunting, almost ethereal, and the pacing allows for reflection on the interconnectedness of culture and environment. The practical effects are subtle yet effective, adding a layer of authenticity. Performances are raw and heartfelt, pulling you into their journey as they confront both personal and collective histories. It’s a fascinating watch for anyone interested in the interplay of art and place.
