Overview
- Director José Manuel Cravioto presents a faux documentary that recreates the 1971 Festival de Avándaro with 16mm and Super‑8 material intercut with Filmoteca UNAM archives.
- Alejandro Speitzer plays Eduardo López Negrete and Emiliano Zurita portrays organizer Justino Compeán, who contributed firsthand guidance during production.
- The independent feature was mounted on a low budget and short schedule, with researched period detail shaping language, style, and on‑set choices.
- The film premiered at the 2025 Guadalajara International Film Festival, where Zurita won Best Performance for his role.
- Reporting emphasizes a reframing of Avándaro as a landmark of youth dissent whose aftermath included reinforced censorship of rock under President Luis Echeverría.
