About Ceniza Negra

Selva (13) lives in a coastal town in the Caribbean. After the sudden disappearance of her only motherly figure, she is left to take care of her grandfather who does not want to live. Between shadows and wild games, she must decide if she will help her grandfather die, even though that means going through her last moments of childhood alone. Selva discovers that when we die, we just shed our skin. We can turn into wolves, goats, shadows, or anything as long as your imagination allows it.

Nepantla is a Nahuatl word which describes the state of living in-between different cultures. It can also refer to
living in the borderlands or being at a literal or metaphorical crossroads. In line with this concept, Cine
Nepantla aims to create a space in which meaningful dialogue among audiences of different socio-economic
backgrounds, races, ethnicities, ages, abilities, genders, sexualities, nationalities, and religions can take place and effect change.
