Details
Landi and Mercedes are a married couple remaining in the marshlands of Zapata, the toughest area in Cuba. In the midst of a pandemic, shortages and social unrest, they must go to extreme lengths to provide for their son.
To the West, in Zapata, is the result of an eight-year process, an immersive viewing experience shot under extreme conditions. For his first and most personal project, Bim’s intention was to witness the daily and painful separation of a family as the only viable mechanism to stay united. It unfolds through time with a quiet striking beauty.
The film premiered at Visions du Réel 2025 where it won the FIPRESCI Prize and Special Jury Prize. It has since won the CineVision Award at Filmfest München, the Special Jury Prize at DMZ Docs, and Jury Award for Best Documentary at Hamptons International Film Festival.
This film is presented in collaboration with LDNDOCS, an intimate showcase of cinematic nonfiction in Central London.
The 2nd LDNDOCS Festival will take place November 20th-22nd at Curzon Bloomsbury and Bertha DocHouse.
