Quihubo Videos currently has five independently produced vidoes available for English-speaking audiences and is working on subtitling and narrating others for distribution in the U.S., Canada and Europe.

Quihubo Videos (previously Imagenes de Mexico) is a non-profit video distribution network created for the dissemination of work by independent producers in Mexico. Quihubo Videos hopes to contribute to the democratization of communications and help counteract the misfirmation deliberately promoted by the media conglomerates in Mexico and the U.S.

In conjunction with a network of Mexican independent videographers, including Comunicaction Popular Alternativa (CO-PAL), Quihubo Videos will continue to provide documentary videos about the struggles of indigenous people, women, workers, and students in Mexico. Our goal is to produce a regular half-hour video news program for distribution in Mexico and abroad.

All proceeds from the sale of these videos will be used to cover mailing and duplicating costs, as well as to help Mexican videographers continue their work.

Videos currently available:

EL EFECTO TEQUILA (The Tequila Effect): Produced by COPAL, this video reflects on the meaning and effects of neoliberal policies in Mexico. "The Tequila Effect emerges from the virtual images of Mexican neoliberalism and has provoked an unexpected drunkness, as well as a political, economic and social hangover." Through clips of news reports, movies and footage from Chiapas, Pedro Infante, Marcos, Salinas de Gortari and Cantinflas "explore the contradictory landscapes of contemporary Mexico." English narration. $30.00 plus postage.

CORRIDOS SIN ROSTRO (Ballads Without a Face): In this video produced by Othelo Khanh, Subcomandante Marcos narrates the "Legend of the Men of Corn," the "Band of the EZLN" sing corridos to rebel heroes, and indigenous peasants tell of their way of life and their struggles for "Democracy, Liberty and Justice."
