FINLANDIA
Directed by Horacio Alcalà 2021 | Spain/Mexico | 92 min
A sumptuous look at an underrepresented community and region, Finlandia focuses on a group of tightly-knit Muxes in Oaxaca. Culturally recognized as representing the third gender, these individuals find their lives invaded by a Spanish fashion designer looking to research and appropriate their vibrant clothing, just as an earthquake strikes the region. Director Horacio Alcalà captures the Southern Mexico landscapes with bracing poeticism and crafts a sentimental portrait about defining your own borders.
