- Synopsis
- Inspired by the Mexican Muralists' ethos, the short film "Dioses y Máquinas" explores our collective identity, intertwining ancient and colonial legacies with our contemporary essence. This short film invites introspection, urging us to question who we are and who we aspire to be. Through the lens of Mexican muralism, it vividly examines cultural impact and allegory, focusing on the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. The film contrasts historic reverence for nature-bound deities with modern affinity for intangible digital realms and material pursuits. This shift reflects humanity's evolving spirituality shaped by technology and societal shifts. "Dioses y Máquinas" symbolically examines our origins, present, and the intricate weave of our shared human voyage.
