Intimidad

Streaming video - 2008

An original Mexican love story about family relationships and the meaning of “home.” Cecy and Camilo – ages 21 – recently moved to the border, Reynosa, Mexico, from Santa Maria, Puebla with a dream to save money, buy land, and build a home. A year later they return to their rural hometown to reunite with their two year-old daughter Loida. What seems like a satisfying reunion turns into a confusing dilemma that transforms the course of their marriage.. Both the family in the film – and the directors – documented INTIMIDAD over the course of 5 years, lending the story to an incredibly intimate, dream-like impression. INTIMIDAD mixes digital verite with Super 8 and 16mm film stock.. Best Documentary Award: Sidewalk Film Festival &a...mp; San Francisco International Latino Film Festival. “Intimidad's final scenes satisfy, showing how even small victories can be savored. Mix of video and 16mm is artfully balanced.” - Joe Leydon, Variety. “Redmon and Sabin follow the family for more than four years as they struggle to buy land and build a house....” - Austin Chronicle
