Africanias, the third film in the Afro-Mex triology directed by Rafael Rebollar Corona, provides insights into traditional Mexican festivals and dances that are inspired by African beliefs and aesthetics, first brought to the country by the enslaved.
Using some of the same videographic materials that were filmed for The Third Root, this updated and re-edited film gives much more importance to the personal experience of the director. The results are surprising, since coming from a subjective point of view and leaving out anthropological issues we may be closer to the experience of Afromexicans.
