The 6th annual Raza Cósmica: A constellation of Latinx sci-fi cinema opens with the San Antonio premiere of Daughters of the Forest by Otilia Portillo Padua. Science fiction meets ancient practices deep in Mexico’s mushroom-rich forests, where two Indigenous mycologists seek to reconcile the past and present while reimagining the future for themselves and the changing world they inhabit. Writer Lacey Pipken will be in attendance for a post screening Q&A.

Preceded by the short film Astronauta by Giorgio Giampà. Audely, 39, works as a lumberjack in the Guatemalan jungle. At home, his daughter Carol, 11, dreams of entering that same forest. Audely thinks about it, then goes to the moon. Watch trailers at https://montevideo210.org.

Sponsored by the Mexican American Civil Rights Institute (MACRI) and the American Indians in Texas at the Spanish Colonial Missions (AIT-SCM).

The 6th annual Raza Cósmica: A constellation of Latinx sci-fi cinema presents Frío Metal (Cold Metal). In Clemente Castor's feature film two young brothers live on the outskirts of Mexico City. Mario wakes up with no memories from his previous life. Adrift, he meets Lazarus, who teaches him how to enter other people's bodies through vast holes in the Earth. In the darkness of subterranean cavities, Mario’s memories fill his mind like dreams. The history of the land runs through his corporality. The space he passes through is distorted and his skin begins to crack along with the landscape.

Frío Metal (Cold Metal) premiered at FIDMarseille and was featured in New Directors/New Films presented by Film at Lincoln Center and The Museum of Modern Art. Watch the trailer at https://montevideo210.org.

Preceded by the short film Brujo by Juan Zuleta. In a rural futuristic world, grieving parents are offered a chance to speak with their dead daughter through a cutting-edge device, but soon the lines between faith and technology begin to blur.

Presented in partnership with the Mexican American Civil Rights Institute (MACRI).

Bring your kids, grandparents, cousins, and favorite adventure buddies for a day filled with live music, hands-on activities, animal encounters, interactive art, face painting, local vendors, delicious food, and plenty of birthday surprises.

Everyone gets kids’ admission pricing, so the whole family can turn up for less. Revisit your favorite Witte memories, make new discoveries together, and show the next generation why San Antonio families have loved the Witte for 100 years.
