From Riches to Rags
Ivan Avila Has ENLIGHTENED BLOOD

Many thanks to Mexican cinematic madman Aaron Soto for passing along news of Ivan Avila’s upcoming feature La Sangre Iluminada, or Enlightened Blood. I’m actually in the middle of packing up to catch a flight to the Udine Far East Film Festival right now and really shouldn’t be taking time away for this but Soto always finds the good stuff south of the border and so I couldn’t resist ...
Avila’s film, which was a big festival hit in Mexico where it hits screens in a week or so, is apparently based on a real life found diary, a diary detailing the life of ‘the transmutans’. What are transmutans? Depends who you ask I suppose, but according to them they are non-human creatures living as humans while changing bodies and building complicated, shared networks of memories and experiences. I imagine a doctor would have a very different take on the situation.
There are trailers available for the film on YouTube but rather than embedding those here I’m going to send you to the film’s official website, which is one stellar bit of hypnotic design work, where you’ll find a better quality version.
