Movies by Fernando Álvarez Rebeil
Weeding Night
Lucía and Nico, the couple of the century, are about to say yes... although not with each other. It turns out that they both decided to get married on the same day and in the same place, but with other people.
Fauna
A pair of estranged offspring visit their parents in an abandoned Mexican village.
The Incident
Two parallel stories about people trapped in illogical endless spaces: two brothers and a detective locked on an infinite staircase, and a family locked on an infinite road... for over 35 years.
Indeleble
On his last night before going abroad, José goes out to a party with Milena, his best friend. The night will develop into a serie of events that will change their relationship forever.
Another Empty Space
In the winter of Berlin, two former lovers meet for the first time since the breakup.
The Tears
Fernando and Gabriel are two brothers living in a broken home. The anger and sadness that fill the house forces them to escape for a weekend into the woods. Gabriel will witness his eldest brother's self-destruction.
Inside
Two friends doggedly build a mysterious artefact in the forest, the function of which remains unclear until the very end. INSIDE starts with a shot of a burnt tree stump in a forest. Materials are gathered. What are the various branches, stones and pieces of grass for and what will the silent activities lead to? INSIDE slowly uncovers an act of human solidarity. The camera hovers around two boys, ramping up the tension, and is supported by an excellent soundtrack.
I Dream in Another Language
An indigenous language is in peril, as its last two speakers had a quarrel in the past and haven't spoken to each other in over 50 years. Martín, a young linguist, will undertake the challenge of bringing the old friends back together and convincing them to speak once again so he can obtain a recorded registration of the language and study it.
Flora
A metacinematic reflection on the nature of representation and the ongoing drug war in Mexico, Nicolás Pereda’s Flora revisits locations and scenes from the mainstream 2010 narco-comedy El Infierno, exploring the paradoxes of depicting narco-trafficking on film—its tendency both to romanticize and to obscure. To screen is both to project and to conceal.
The Sleepwalker
Simón, Jorgito and Paula, do nothing but wait for a hard breakup to end to get on with their lives. Paula’s ex-husband wants to come back home, but something opens their eyes to a brand new day.
