"Quihubo Videos" currently has 3 independently produced videos available for
English speaking audiences and is working on subtitling and narrating others
for distribution in the US and Europe.
"Quihubo Videos" (previously Imagenes de Mexico) is a non-profit video
distribution network created for the dissemination of work by independent
producers in Mexico. "Quihubo Videos" hopes to contribute to the
democratization of communications and help counteract the misinformation
deliberately promoted by the media conglomerates in Mexico and the
US.
In conjunction with a network of Mexican independent videographers, "Quihubo
Videos" will continue to provide documentary videos about the struggles of
indigenous people, women, workers, and students in Mexico. Our goal is to
produce a regular half-hour video news program for distribution in Mexico and
abroad.
Videos currently available:
CORRIDOS SIN ROSTRO (Ballads Without a Face): In this video produced by
Othelo Khanh, Subcomandante Marcos narrates the "Legend of the Men of Corn,"
the "Band of the EZLN" sing corridos to rebel heroes, and indigenous peasants
tell of their way of life and their struggles for "Democracy, Liberty and
Justice." Mostly filmed in Zapatista territory between June and August of
1994. English subtitles. 53 minutes. VHS only (no TV airing allowed).
$30.00 plus postage.
TODOS SOMOS MARCOS: This video compiles images from four major protests in
Mexico City following the military invasion of the Selva Lacandona in February
1995 (it is not the Canal 6 de Julio production by the same name). English
narration and subtitles. 20 minutes. VHS or 3/4 inch for TV.
PRADO PACAYAL: Recorded in the Zapatista territory of Chiapas on March 2,
1995, shows the destruction wrought by the military on this community. The
video presents moving testimony by the inhabitants of Prado Pacayal as they
return to find their village ransacked by the Mexican army. English subtitles.
26 minutes. VHS or 3/4 inch for TV.
TODOS SOMOS MARCOS (TSM) and PRADO PACAYAL (PP) come in one tape only.
