Portland Latin American Film Festival Presents: Home is Somewhere Else

MEXICO, UNITED STATES / 2022

Directors: Carlos Hagerman and Jorge Villalobos

Documentary, Animation / Spanish and English with subtitles / 87 minutes

AWARDS: Best Film nominee at Annecy International Film Festival 2022, Best Animated Feature nominee at Guadalajara International Film Festival 2022.

Synopsis: Animated documentary provides a window into immigrant youth’s hearts and minds and undocumented families. This 2-D “animentary” features three personal stories about immigrant youth that highlight the complexities and challenges they face today. Voiced by the actual children and their families, the stories are woven together by spoken word poet José Eduardo Aguilar, also known as Lalo “El Deportee,” the film’s host and MC whose vibrant “Spanglish” breaks codes, switches standards, and pushes the viewer to decipher his poems.
