‘Everything converges’ from the mouth in a body to the mouth of a river. With a deep interest in the insights of places that have been transformed by extensive modernization endeavors, the film intertwines flows of water, progress and loss.
Images that register various sanitation plants and wastewater sites in Mexico City amidst an ongoing hydric crisis, as I look for traces of the twenty rivers piped, buried and lost under cars and concrete. Just their names remain.
Veins of a City was developed in dialogue with composer Cisser Maehl.
