el despacho, an artist initiative based in Mexico City interested in relating
visual artists with alternative video-documentary making is looking for
students and professionals of the visual arts and the humanities interested

documentary-project:
“Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner”
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner is a video-documentary collaborative
project between students and professionals of the visual arts and the
humanities from Mexico, The Netherlands and Morocco through which a three-in-one
feature length documentary around the issues of the three diary meals
will be made: Breakfast in Mexico, Lunch in Morocco and Dinner in The
Netherlands. Such film will be elaborated through three workshops (each
one three to four-weeks long) in Mexico, The Netherlands and Morocco.
The workshops participants will come into contact with divers individuals
and communities of the three involved countries and will put into action
and reformulate collectively their knowledge in order to create a series
of audio-visual tools that will help to “portray” a series
of events, individuals and communities. The workshops will be coordinated
by visual artists and filmmakers that have previously collaborated with
el despacho.
Each workshop will be conformed of 12 participants. el despacho
offers between eight and ten grants in each country for people interested
