The team of a local human rights film festival travels for a month in a bus through Guatemala to screen films in remote villages. For many audience members, it is the first time they have seen cinema on a big screen. Dozens, sometimes hundreds of attentive and eager eyes see their own reflection through unprecedented cinematic images of violence, exclusion, and stagnation. Fragments of a journey emerge with unexpected encounters and the ever-present fascination of cinema. Film offers a journey through history and the present of a beautiful, but unhappy country.

El Cine es un Viaje, Uli Stelzner, Pepe Orozco Recinos, 2023, Guatemala, 61 minutos, Español, Ixil, Quiché 

Un equipo de organizadores locales de un festival de cine sobre derechos humanos viaja en autobús durante un mes a través de Guatemala para proyectar películas en aldeas remotas. Para muchos, es la primera vez que ven cine en una pantalla grande. Decenas, a veces cientos de ojos atentos y ansiosos ven reflejados a través de imágenes cinematográficas sin precedentes de violencia, exclusión y estancamiento.
