Chaos and Order: Manuel Felguérez and His Abstract Work
Documentary about the life and work of abstract artist Manuel Felguérez; one of the most important Mexican painters and sculptors of the 20th century, and a benchmark of the Generación de la Ruptura (Breakaway Generation). At 87 years-old, Felguérez is a consecrated master who creates by starting from chaos, generating random shapes and spots, to later give them order and finally turn them into art.
Made in Mexico
Self
From Diego Luna and Alejandro Fernandez, to Carla Morrison and Chavela Vargas, Duncan Bridgeman weaves a cinematic tapestry composed of original songs and insights from the most iconic artists and performers of contemporary Mexico. With striking visuals, the movie captures the rich diversity of Mexican geography, art, music, and culture. It is a rare look at the country's real identity, and an unparalleled celebration of what it truly means to be "Hecho en Mexico."
Gimme the Power
Himself
A rock documentary, about the Mexican band Molotov, that focuses more in the political and musical context of Mexico rather than in the actual story of the band.
12th Warrior
Self
A documentary that tries to explain the reason for the passion of the Mexican football fandom.
Ojos rojos
Self
Documentary film about soccer and the passion it unleashes in a country qualifying for a world cup. During eight years of following the Chilean national team, the features and nuances that make up our society are reflected in both defeat and victory, trying to answer what mystery this sport has that makes it the most popular in the world.
Bolaño, Up Close and Personal
Generously included as a bonus DVD alongside the 502-page Bolaño salvaje, a book of essays about and reminiscences on the Chilean novelist/poet published by the Barcelona-based Editorial Candy. Bolaño cercano [a difficult to translate title approximating something like Bolaño, Up Close and Personal], which offers up a sympathetic portrait of Bolaño as a loving family man and tireless reader and writer and teases with ever so brief glimpses of his personal library and countless spiral notebooks filled with rough drafts of his novels and poetry and even comic book-like drawings and illustrations.
Vivir mata
Screenplay

Diego and Silvia meet each other and fall in love thanks to their masterly lies.

When the opportunity arises, both struggle to meet again on a day in which a sudden and unusual disorder reigns in Mexico City.
