01 MAY — 11 MAY 2024

Creating things from nothing involves a lot of imagination, but the truth is that transforming imagined things into concrete things is not an easy task. The Creators, in their own dimension, are not having their task made easy. Rocó and Noï are the kind of friends who would do anything for each other, and that includes creating their own fantastic and colorful world, where only they exist, far from the problems of the world. Like Rocó’s parents’ divorce. Two friends enjoy a summer camp, where they have the most fun. Suddenly they are surprised by the violence of a storm, from which they will have to create Shelter and together, imagine stories to spend the night. With the help of delicate animation, migrant children tell their stories from the safety of a shelter in northern Mexico. The stories are of hope, in a hostile area, and the Little Birds will find their destiny. Death to the Bikini!, is a punk film that makes us think about the arbitrariness of the rules of the adult world that impose decisions that seem, to children, completely meaningless.

The Creators

Creating things out of nothing involves a lot of imagination, but the truth is that turning imagined things into concrete things is no easy task. And these Creators, in their own dimension, aren’t having an easy time of it.

Shelter

There’s nothing better than adventures with friends. These two friends in a summer camp, making the most of it. When they are surprised by the violence of a storm, all they have to do is take refuge in each other’s company and create stories to pass the night.

Death to the Bikini!

The attitude of this film is punk and makes us think about the arbitrariness of the rules of the adult world, which impose decisions that seem totally meaningless to the children in question. Should we prepare for a more grown-up age before we get there or refuse to wear a bikini?
