CineFestival Latinx Filmmaker Lab
Ya No Estoy Aquí (I’m No Longer Here) – Directed by Fernando Frias de la Parra

Ya No Estoy Aquí traces the journey of Ulises Samperio, a 17-year-old Mexican boy, who after an unfortunate misunderstanding with members of a local cartel, is constrained to migrate to the U.S., leaving behind what defines him most: his gang and the dance parties that he loves so much. He tries his best to adapt to a new country, but Ulises quickly realizes that he would rather return home to his family and friends in Monterrey than confront the alienation and loneliness he faces in America.

Filmmaker Fernando Frias de la Parra, winner of the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures’ 2018-2019 Adán Medrano Legacy Award in Film, presents a work-in-progress screening of his vibrant new feature, as well as other directorial works that shaped his artistic practice.
