We are so excited to reveal the official poster for TAHI, starring our two protagonists Jack Murillo and Carlos Indalecio Moreno Matus. The main title design is the work of @enriquevw29 , who took inspiration in the early 1900s signage and handcrafted the typography.

The still was a photo taken on film during the shoot and was chosen in order to reflect the magical realism at the heart of the film, the light from the hidden flame as well as our protagonists’ transition through the Aniams in their journey into the desert.

Forever grateful to all the wonderful people of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona and the Yaqui Pueblos of Sonora for their guidance, participation and faith. More than anything, we are honored to have been granted a small form of guardianship of their language, culture and history in telling this story. We sincerely hope to honor the Yaqui people with every frame.

We are excited to announce our participation in the 2026 Nogales International Film Festival. We are honored to be part of a festival that highlights the border and cross cultural dynamics between the US and Mexico. As a film that explores the effects that borders, political and cultural frictions have in the communities that inhabit the area, we are proud to be part of a multicultural showcase that screens on both sides of the border and actively reminds us that art and people are not defined by lines on a map.
•
The festival will take place from May 13th to 17th on both sides of the border in Nogales, Arizona & Nogales, Sonora.

(2025) Kyoto, by the Togetsukyō Bridge, locals and tourists walk the streets leading to the landmark bridge. Young couples and friends can be seen taking a walk in rented kimonos or yukatas. You can often tell the difference between locals and visitors by the colors and patterns they choose to rent.

🎬We’re excited to announce that TAHI has been selected for the 34th @azfilmfestival the longest running and leading independent film festival in Arizona. We are honored to be part of a festival with an emphasis on bridging cultures and languages. So incredibly proud of all our cast and crew as we look forward to our Arizona premiere.

TAHI will screen on Tuesday, April 21st at 8:00pm at the historical @scrtucson in downtown Tucson. Tickets will be available later this week at www.filmfestivalarizona.com

Las palabras que vienen a mí en este momento para despedir a mi padre, Miguel Manríquez Durán, son abundantes pero él ya lo ha dicho todo. Su vida siempre estuvo trazada con letras, poesía y una búsqueda de ese soplo divino encerrado en las almas y en los corazones de los seres humanos. Con cariño recuerdo su legado:

Existir es una pasión divina.

La vida se vive con pasión y hacerlo es tocar ese aspecto divino que nos habita y encarna. Tengo la fortuna de conocer a mi padre en muchas de sus encarnaciones y facetas terrestres, y reconozco que dejó plasmado en el tiempo sus pasiones, inquietudes, placeres, dolores y contemplaciones. En ellas, en el sol y en el mar encuentro el refugio eterno de una vida vivida con la pasión sabia de un bárbaro, la sensibilidad divina de un poeta y la maestría de un artesano de las letras.

El mar, siempre el mar.

Gracias a todos por compartir las palabras y los poemas de mi padre en este breve instante en el que caminamos juntos. Las huellas en el lodo —barro terrenal desplazado en el tiempo— se dirigen hacia un horizonte deslumbrante, el camino a Nod.

OCTANTE

Todos digan que morí con el alma pura,
que mujer ninguna despidió mi cuerpo,
que fue en otro tiempo y otras tierras
donde tomé ciudades marchitas
y pronuncié olvidadas palabras de amor.
Todos digan que repartí piedad,
que me sentí eterno un solo instante,
que extendí los brazos sobre la soledad
de un huerto desvanecido como amores viejos.
Todos digan que el festín comenzó como un susurro,
una brisa convertida en viento,
un menguado aire convertido en tempestad,
en inmodestia propia, en el mar.
Todos digan que me fui con el alma pura.

Lo agradeceré
desde la perturbada inmovilidad que ahora soy.

-Miguel Manríquez Durán
