DIR Julio Hernández Cordón | Mexico | 2020 | 70 min

Acclaimed filmmaker Julio Hernández Cordón (BUY ME A GUN, Cine Mexico Now 2018) has crafted a highly personal, experimental documentary, exploring the city of his youth through the eyes of his teenage daughter. Playing himself alongside his actual daughter Fabiana, he guides her through the city of Texcoco, looking for a vanished lake with diversions along the way to meet Aztec Kings and werewolves. THE HOWLS is a double self-portrait that finds the filmmaker playful, subversive, and utterly free of genre conventions.
