I'm No Longer Here

Still from Ya No Estoy Aqui, 2019 by Fernando Frías. A boy wearing a T-shirt and a mesh waistcoat stands looking to the side. Clouds drift over mountains and low-lying residential buildings in the valley below in the background.

Born and raised in Mexico City, director Fernando Frías presents his award-winning film, Ya No Estoy Aquí, set in the mountains of Monterrey, one of the northernmost cities in Mexico. The film follows Kolombias, a distinctive urban tribe from the violence-plagued regions of the country that once created a countercultural movement around their love for old-fashioned cumbia music.
