La Vida y Los Muertos: Day of the Dead in Oaxaca, Mexico, a film by UW Professor Carolyn Kallenborn. (38 mins)
As an art film, La Vida y Los Muertos is a journey through the city of Oaxaca and five near-by villages during the celebration of Day of the Dead. In the city and in the villages, this beautiful festival of death is very lively. The juxtaposition of music, food and celebration with cemeteries and death is surreal. With little narration, rich visuals and complex soundtrack, each chapter captures the mood and the impression of one particular place.
