Arquicinema: Mexico City through film

4 talks · 4 movies · 4 expert voices

Arte Abierto, in collaboration with FundarqMx, presents a new edition of Arquicinema, a meeting place for film and architecture, this time entitled “Mexico City through Film.”

Over four special sessions, this program offers interdisciplinary lectures that explore how architecture influences cinematic narrative and how, in turn, cinema becomes a tool for observing and understanding the urban, social, and landscape environment of Mexico City.

Through the analysis of selected scenes from key films—from Luis Buñuel’s classics to the contemporary vision of Alfonso Cuarón—specialists in architecture, urban history, and visual culture will invite us to reflect on how the city’s built spaces are also narrative, symbolic, and emotional spaces.

This series seeks to open an interdisciplinary dialogue and generate a space for exchange on the role of architecture in the cinematic representation of the city.

Arquicinema: Mexico City Through Film proposes looking at cinema through the lens of architecture and vice versa, as a way to explore the connections between built space, urban identity, and the narratives that define us.

VISITS AROUND EL PREDREGAL

CASA ESTUDIO MAX CETTO

With Julián Arroyo Cetto

El Pedregal, a huge territory of harsh nature, splendid, but for thousands of years evaded, uninhabited and even devalued, was the scene of the flourishing of incredible gardens and notable projects of modern Mexican architecture. There, a migrant couple and their family became one of the first settlers of Jardines del Pedregal at the end of the 1940s. In this fourth visit of Parallel Landscapes, we invite you to visit the Max Cetto’s Home – Studio, the first house in Jardines del Pedregal de San Ángel, designed by the German architect Max Cetto, in which he projects a synthesis of modernity, tradition, daring, experience and experimentation with the natural environment.

In the last two decades, the house housed various inhabitants and even institutions seeking to adapt to its time. Currently, it is inhabited by its original family, who also seek its preservation, keeping alive the ideals and precepts of Max Cetto. In this tour led by Julián Arroyo Cetto, architect, grandson of Max Cetto and current inhabitant of the house, you will be able to learn not only the architectural aspects of this project, but also the daily and domestic life that has occurred and created in that house. house in the more than 70 years of its history.
