Tlaxcala Capital Joins Originaria 2026, a Regional Film Showcase
Tlaxcala Capital is joining Originaria 2026, a regional film showcase that will bring together productions from Hidalgo, Morelos, Puebla, and Tlaxcala to bring audiences stories, languages, and expressions of Indigenous peoples.
The Tlaxcala City Council, through its Department of Culture, will participate in this initiative with a day featuring six free screenings scheduled for Saturday, September 26.
The program will begin at 11:00 a.m. at the Regional Museum of Tlaxcala with Cuando muere una lengua, by Gabriela Badillo; at 11:05 a.m., La resistencia se borda a mano, by Colectivo Tamachij Chihuatl, will be screened; subsequently, at 12:10 p.m., it will be the turn of Techiq, by Missael Sánchez, and at 1:00 p.m., Finlandia, by Horacio Alcalá, will be presented. The four productions are in Nahuatl and Spanish and admission will be free.
The showcase will continue at 4:00 p.m. at the San Diego Metepec Municipal Presidency with El monstruo de Xibalba, by Manuela Irene, and at 5:30 p.m. with La Raya, by Yolanda Cruz, also with free admission.
With this program, Originaria 2026 expands access to cinema into community spaces and offers audiences the opportunity to learn, through audiovisual language, about different stories and expressions connected to Indigenous peoples.
The initiative includes the participation of cultural institutions and projects from the four states, as well as the Ministry of Culture, IMCINE, FOCINE, INAH, and UCUVI, among other organizations.
For the Tlaxcala City Council, this participation strengthens the capital’s cultural agenda and continues the work promoted by the now-leave-of-absence mayor, Alfonso Sánchez García, to promote culture and preserve heritage. These activities continue under the administration of Carlos López Suárez, creating spaces that bring residents closer to the historical, cultural, and linguistic richness of the communities.
