Companion of the Setting Sun

Companion of the Setting Sun is a short documentary that explores the transformation of Lake Xochimilco and survival of the Axolotl (salamander) population. We are immersed into the daily lives of the Chinamperos (farmers), examining the difficulties of maintaining their wetland farms while preserving the last remaining wild Axolotls.”

2025, Director, Isabela Zawistowska

We invite you to take a canoe ride with us through Xochimilco’s ancient canals, the last remnants of the vast water transport system of Tenochtitlán. Join us to learn what it takes to farm a chinampa, what life was and is in Xochimilco, and to contribute to the survival of this sacred place.
