Somno Automatum México Industrial 1923

Directed by Mariano Castellanos Arenas

A work that combines art, science, and culture. It is a project born from a dream come true, where knowledge and experience intersect with the aim of revaluing film as a common cultural asset. It is also a metaphor for the mechanized individual who dreams; for the human being in the industrialized world who works monotonously and tirelessly while imagining, planning, and constructing a collective cosmos. It is also the reproduction of ways of being and existing, an artifact that creates a landscape constructed by human and mechanical force, leaving traces that today constitute a heritage.
