Itu Ninu + Leonel and Lesli

An imaginative work of indigenous science-fiction shot in Edinburgh, ITU NINU is the latest feature from Edinburgh-based Mexican director Itandehui Jansen, and tells the story of two climate migrants who, stuck within a dystopian ‘smart city’, find connection through their shared heritage within Mixtec language.

The film will be introduced with Mixtec poetry from the film’s writer and star Armando Bautista Garcia, (alongside Leonel and Lesli, a short film shot in Mexico by Scottish director Paul Gray) and followed by a discussion with the filmmakers hosted by Bella Caledonia’s Mike Small.
