EL HOYA EN LA CERCA by Joaquin del Paso, our graduate of the Cinematography Department, has been selected for Orrizonti section of the 78th Venice International Film Festival.

EL HOYA EN LA CERCA, a film by Joaquin del Paso
Every year, Centro Escolar los Pinos, a prestigious religious school for boys, sends its teenage students, "the sons of Mexico's elite class," to camp in an outlying village. Boys, under the watchful eye of teachers and priests, improve their physical and moral "development". Everyone tries to find their place in this elite and hermetic society, where the social class and the colour of the parents' skin determine the status of a child.
On the first night, campers discover a hole in the fence that triggers a chain of mysterious events. All indications are that an intruder has broken in from a dangerous neighbouring village and that children may become targets for organ trafficking and satanic rituals fuelled by social revenge. As hysteria and paranoia spread among the boys, it becomes clear that things are not as they seem. What if the threat does not come from outside, but from inside the camp?
