Celebrating 100 years of their independence and marking the centenary of the Mexican Revolution (1910), Mexican filmmakers have come together on an extensive film journey, resulting in the omnibus film REVOLUCIÓN. Made up of 10 short films, Revolución directors include illustrious film professionals of international repute: one of the most important directors of modern cinema, Carlos Reygadas (SILENT LIGHT, JAPÓN), prominent directors Patricia Riggen, Rodrigo García, Fernando Eimbke (2003 Campus Alumnus, whose LKE TAHOE featured in the 2008 Berlinale Competition), Rodrigo Plá, Amat Escalante (2004 Campus Alumnus), Gerardo Naranjo (I'M GONNA EXPLODE, 2009 Berlinale Generation), Mariana Chenillo, and last but not least famed actor-turned-directors Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna. Through the eyes of these ten filmmakers, Revolución offers a multi-faceted analysis of what is the REVOLUCIÓN today and what it means to the young minds of Mexico. The team of filmmakers together with producer Pablo Cruz, gather at the Campus and debate whether the revolution a century ago was worth it in light of the current state of politics and culture in Mexico.
