BENEATH THE WEEPING
spotify playlist
"In the far lands of Gaffem Soddows rests Somnum, a massive weeping willow tree that sits in the center of the island. It feels as if it's almost watching over its people, with roots that dig deep into the soil.
Legend says that the 4 deore arose from this tree. First, Eoslile of beginning, health, and spring. Next, Latysus of past, harvest, and fall. Then, Heilyr of future, wildlife, and summer. Last, Wedira of end, wind, and winter.
After creating all the life and nature within Gaffem Soddows, they created an impossible maze around the tree with moving walls and large, terrifying beasts, and laid to rest within Somnum, now dead and gone.
...Though, some say that they are still alive, watching over the people of Gaffem Soddows. And if you travel through the thick Foristraum forest, get through the neverending maze and its trials and beasts, and make it to the willow tree, the deore will grant you one wish."
This is the map of Gaffem Soddows. Two things dont have a name yet: kit's village in the Euarmar forest and then that tiny little forest near the Wellspring mountains, which is an assassin guild full of necromancers.
BASIC PLOT :
Beneath The Weeping is a story about grief, acceptance, and perseverance.
Quin "Kit" Knut is a 16 year old who leaves her village in the Euarmar forest and travels to Somnum, in hopes of having her wishes granted by the deore. Along the way she meets a young necromancer, Peregrine Elwood (17), and aers soulbond, Adaline (technically 17, but shes been dead for over 50 years), in Wedekind. Peregrine has aers own wish for the gods and together they make their way to multiple other cities, meeting other characters who each have their own wish for the deore.
The story is centered around Kit having to accept her father's death and her own disability. She learns to stop viewing her disability as a terrible hindrance that is only holding her back from every single thing in her life, along with accepting her father's death and goes through the stages of grief throughout the story.
Each character has their own grieving and accepting they have to do and in fact each of their wishes are something that the deore would deny. While Kit is an obvious one, Peregrine Elwood has to grieve the lack of power ae has and accept aers own skill.
Kit and Peregrine are the 2 main characters of BtW, with the others acting as side characters or antagonists. They immediately do not like each other as soon as they meet.
Kit learns of a teen in Wedekind who studies the maze and Somnum and specifically tracks aer down, however because Kit grew up in a small village and only learns things from word of mouth, she doesn't actually know a lot about necromancy. When they first meet, Kit is basically begging Peregrine to bring back her dad, assuming that's what ae can do. However, there are multiple types of necromancers and Peregrine is specifically a vivifica (aka peregrin can revive the dead, but only One Person aka aers soulbond and from one realm of Mortuorum aka the "normal guy realm" and not the "cool guy realm") so ae cannot revive Kit's dad.
Because Kit is grieving and not in the right mindset and also doesn't fully understand necromancy and obviously very upset, Kit pretty much immediately shits on everything Peregrine does and Peregrine as a person. She is like "oh, so then what is even your purpose? you're necromancer but you can't even Necromancy, what the shit. you suck." And Peregrine is incredibly insecure over aers powers and it's aers entire wish (explained later), so ae is very fucking mad that Kit just shat on aer and aers entire practice.
So they do not fucking like each other at all. But, for whatever reason that I haven't decided on yet, Peregrine does in fact go with Kit to Somnum (either because of aers parents or because of Adaline). Along the way they meet Isarn/Ithel Thorsten, a vivimancer (healing magic) apothecary; a dendromancer (plant magic) staff user; and a swordwielding poet.
In order to get to Somnum, they have to go through Volkwin. This is usually where most adventurers die, because the Volkwin guards tend to kill or arrest anyone who attemps to reach the deore. The whole reason this city is built directly in front of the entrance is because the royal family thinks they deserve and own the power the deore provide.
Here they meet one of the main antagonists in the story, Livia Loveday de Volkwin, who is a very delusioned princess who's next in line for the crown.
SIDE STUFF :
Gaffem Soddows is a shitty anagram of "Meadows of Gods" with an added "f" because the word looked better that way.
All of the gods' names are ones that I liked combined with actual gods in mythology. For example Eoslilde comes from "Gislilde" and "Eostre". Heilyr comes from "Heilwig" and "Freyr".
This weird mashing of words is seen pretty much everywhere ("Morsfall", "Pantakryo", "Foristraum", etc).
The 4 deore (aka season gods, serere meaning "to sow" and deos meaning "god") are the gods that created Gaffem Soddows and represent each season of the year: Eoslilde of spring, Heilyr of summer, Latysus of fall, and Wedira of winter. They have the power of granting one wish to whoever actually can make it to Somnum, but they're kind of really big assholes and don't actually grant you your wish. If they feel your wish is greedy or just stupid, they can and will deny it and tell you that it's a stupid wish. Though this is often left out as the myth gets passed down through generations, because that makes for a bad story. Who wants to be told "the gods will grant you a wish if you travel and survive ... but only if they want to. they can deny it after you go through all that hard work."
Peregrine is a skilled necromancer and fighter, but because of the pressure of aers parents and community, ae views aers power as "not good enough". Ae feels as if ae deserves even more power (almost like Livvy does) and has already traveled to Somnum at a very young age (~12 years old) to wish for this power, but ae was denied, being told ae is "too greedy". When ae states that ae deserves it because ae can "do good things" and is worthy of such power, the deore basically say "okay, then go do it. why do you need my power to do good?"
This also adds fire to Peregrine's and Kit's immediate hate for each other, since Kit shits on something Peregrine wants and has already been denied for and then shes asking aer to go back there.
There 8 separate magic types and each have their own specifications and sections and culture surrounding them. I'll make a whole other post going into depth about the magic system in BW, but in short: each magic type has their own god that it "draws power from" or is used in a way of worship.
For example, Necromancers and anemomancers (wind mages) draw their power from Wedira, who controls wind and Mortuorum. This practice however can also be used as a way to worship Wedira, so instead of "Wedira gives me this power", its more of a "I do this for Wedira".
Then, there's each separate sections of certain magic types.
For example, necromancers have 3 different type of mages based off of how and where they revive the dead from:
1. the Videre (from "see the" in latin) are a type of necromancers that can only see and communicate with the dead who have yet to pass on. They have no connection with anyone to revive them.
2. the Vivifica (from "revive" in latin) are a type of necromancers that can revive the dead, but only from N/A realm of Mortuorum. So like the sections of the underworld in greek mythology, it's similar here with Mortuorum. Vivificas can typically only revive one person, which is someone they have a soulbond with. Some vivificas can have up to 5 soulbonds, but it's very rare.
3. the Donum (from "gift" in latin) are a type of necromancers that are gifted their power by the deore. Usually, in the context of hope that this person will bring greatness to Gaffem Soddoes with this power. This only happens every 4+ decades (i haven't settled on an exact date yet). Donums can revive as many people as they want, regardless of soulbonds, and from all realms of Mortuorum.
All magic types have their own specifications and types of mages.

Nuestro estimadísimo amigo Erick Estrada , cabeza de cinegarage, nuestra plataforma favorita de cine, nos armó está guía de películas imperdibles del FICUNAM.
Estamos muy contentos de rolarles todo el saber de quien para nosotros, es LA autoridad a la hora de decidir qué películas ver.

Guía Cinegarage – FICUNAM 2017
por: Erick Estrada
Hemos llegado. Estamos ya dispuestos a disfrutar una edición más de uno de los festivales de cine más importantes en México, el Festival Internacional de Cine de la UNAM. Armado a partir de propuestas con riesgos formales ante que el enamoramiento de la narrativa, nutrido de películas de prácticamente todo el mundo, el FICUNAM puede abrir la percepción cinematográfica de quien se decida acercarse a él, y nosotros recomendamos hacerlo.
Sin embargo, como todos los festivales del cine, el FICUNAM es inabarcable, no podrán ver todo lo que se les antoje, el tiempo simplemente no lo permite. Gajes del oficio.
Por esa razón y como siempre que hay un festival que lo merece, Cinegarage les entrega una pequeña guía con sugerencias. Si de verdad quieren empaparse del espíritu del FICUNAM y al mismo tiempo pasar muy buenos ratos viendo el cine que este festejo nos pone enfrente chequen las películas que conocemos, que se proyectan y que creemos que valen la pena, todo auspiciado por nuestros amigos de V66.
Guía Cinegarage – FICUNAM 2017
Eat That Question: Frank Zappa in His Own Words

The Beast
La bestia
Así comienza Roger Koza su reseña sobre esta película sudafricana: “Lúcida y lucida parodia del imaginario turístico occidental caucásico que arranca con un tono deliberadamente humorístico y termina con un sorprendente y necesario espíritu de no reconciliación dirigido incluso al público del film, doble potencial de la audiencia en fuera de campo presupuesta por la representación que tiene lugar en ese cierre iracundo. Esa estrategia formal es una de las tantas pruebas de la sagacidad con la que está concebida la puesta en escena.
Dirigen: Samantha Nell, Michael Wahrmann
Zeus
Considerada por esta página como una de las mejores películas mexicanas del año pasado la propuesta de Miguel Calderón es un acercamiento distinto, hasta cierto punto arriesgado y con cierto tono filoso de un tema que ha viajado a través del cine mexicano desde siempre, el del complejo de Edipo. Si de verdad quieren conocer las nuevas propuestas del cine mexicano esta es una apuesta casi segura.
Dirige: Miguel Calderón
King
Rey
“En 1858, un abogado del sur de Francia, Orélie-Antoine de Tounens, decidió partir para Chile con la descabellada idea de fundar el Reino de la Araucanía. De 1860 a 1878 fue rey, quizás proclamado con el consentimiento de los mapuches, a pesar de ser un winka, un hombre blanco. Dividida en varios capítulos, la mayoría vinculados al juicio por traición que este soñador anacrónico enfrentó ante el estado chileno, la película aprovecha los testimonios jurídicos para representar la aventura monárquica del acusado, a veces desde su punto de vista, y también del de su guía, un gaucho” (FICUNAM, Roger Koza)
Dirige: Niles Atallah

Casa Roshell
Película mexico-chilena. “Casa Roshell es un lugar escondido en las sombras de la Ciudad de México, donde los hombres tienen la libertad de expresarse y de transformarse; un sitio donde es posible superar las restricciones sociales en las que están confinados, o de buscar pasiones inconfesables en la penumbra. Es un espacio suspendido donde quien lo visita, está en la búsqueda de una aceptación o de una identidad propia, o simplemente de un poco de diversión” (FICUNAM, Eva Sangiorgi)
Dirige: Camila José Donoso
youtube
La caja de Pandora
Película seminal en la historia del cine, indispensable si se quiere conocer a fondo al famoso Expresionismo Alemán, la película de G. W. Pabst. Festival de erotismo, muerte, confusión, mundos alternos como alternos son los blancos y los negros de este clásico que hoy presenta FICUNAM, la función es además una estupenda oportunidad de ver en su máximos esplendor una propuesta estética y temática que prácticamente nunca puede tenerse así de cerca. Antes que cualquiera otra deben buscar este gran clásico, adaptación nada menos que de dos (dos) obras de teatro de Frank Wedekind.
Dirige: G.W. Pabst

Tormentero
Romero Kantún es un pescador retirado, que vive aislado y solitario en su modesta casa en la Isla de Tris. Don Rome vive sumido en la nostalgia, acompañado por fantasmas de la vida que no pudo tener. Alcohólico y esquizofrénico, Don Rome se las arregla para pasar los últimos días de su vida. Pero en el fondo él siente que es tiempo de recuperar aquello que le fue arrebatado décadas atrás, cuando el destino lo hizo descubrir el gran yacimiento petrolero que terminó con la pesca en la isla y le ganó el rechazo de los pescadores.
Dirige: Rubén Imaz
O Ornitólogo
El ornitólogo
“¿Un sueño? La gramática del film procede por asociación, bastante cercana a la que suele imperar en la vida onírica. Fernando, el ornitólogo, empieza observando aves en un paraje donde no se sienten los signos de la civilización; después tiene un accidente, se encuentra con dos perversas creyentes cristianas de China, más tarde con un pastor mudo y homosexual. Hay más sorpresas, cuyo telos no es otro que la conversión de un hombre en santo. Esta transformación es anunciada varias veces por una mirada inhumana, la de las aves, que ven lo que los hombres no (las subjetivas enrarecidas son esenciales para la poética del film)”. (FICUNAM, Roger Koza).
Dirige: Joåo Pedro Rodrigues
Brüder der Nacht
Hermanos de la noche
“Los jóvenes búlgaros se prostituyen. Viena es el lugar elegido, más precisamente un bar llamado Rüdiger en el distrito de clase trabajadora de Margareten. Las tareas sexuales están orientadas a los hombres; pueden prodigar a los clientes austriacos caricias, sexo oral, penetración u otras prácticas que desafían la ortodoxia de los placeres corporales. Todo esto se dice en conversaciones diversas, no se muestra, y la elección del riguroso fuera de campo poco tiene que ver con la moral. A Chiha no le interesa el desempeño laboral de sus criaturas sino el tiempo de espera, el presente improductivo, que no es necesariamente ocio, y también la cualidad anímica y las razones prácticas de un empleo al que se llega sin elegir”. (FICUNAM, Roger Koza)
Dirige: Patric Chiha
youtube
Mister Universe
Míster Universo
“Tizza Covi y Reiner Frimmel entretejen sus historias a partir de personajes reales retratados en su entorno cotidiano, que confieren consistencia y espontaneidad a la narración. Se trata de la cuarta película dedicada al circo, fruto de casi dos décadas de su cercanía a ese mundo. Es un lugar marginado y en desaparición que parece hablarnos de otra época, con los colores desteñidos de las carpas y los vestidos cargados de chaquiras y pendientes”. (FICUNAM, Eva Sangiorgi)
Dirigen: Tizza Covi, Rainer Frimmel
Austerlitz
“El título remite a la última novela del gran W. G. Sebald, una indicación pertinente. En ese libro final el protagonista se dedicaba a la historia de la arquitectura y a su vez tenía su propia memoria herida por la tiranía abyecta del nazismo. Loznitsa se instala en el campo de concentración de Sachsenhausen y con unos cuarenta planos generales y medios fijos hace ostensible lo inconmensurable de la experiencia vivida por miles de personas en ese lugar. Mismo espacio, otro tiempo: ¿es posible hacer turismo en los cimientos del exterminio?” (FICUNAM, Roger Koza)
Dirige: Sergei Loznitsa
