Crebinsky is an unconventional independent film that starts with torrential rain causing the river to swell, flooding a village. The Crebinsky brothers and their cow miraculously save their lives when they are swept away by the current. They end up somewhere along the coast. The normal rhythm of their lives with Muchka, their cow, is shattered when she disappears. The brothers then start a desperate search that will take them from the coast to the interior. A real road movie, an inner journey full of unexpected encounter, dark feelings and erased memories.
Not knowing where they are going to, they end up discovering where they come from.
OAXACA FILMFEST is a uniquely successful cultural collaboration between both the private and public sectors of the International Community. Created by Filmmakers for Filmmakers, the Festival is the focal point of the dynamic and energized cinematic community that has emerged within the area over the last decade.
