LAS MUERTES MÁS BELLAS DEL MUNDO FILM - NEWSLETTER 2026
Welcome to Las Muertes Film latest newsletter! What a year it has been for the Yellow House Collective. We're closing in on the two-year anniversary of the film's release, and we want to celebrate every milestone we've reached since with you all.
You have been a kind and supportive audience for both the film and our other creative projects, and just as importantly, you have reflected with us on the state of the world as we navigate these difficult moments and figure out ways to stay connected and push back against the erasure of our history. Consequently, this year we dedicated more time and resources toward a founding goal of the film: reaching high school students and advocating for the integration of the film into the DC public schools' curriculum.
Our team is currently developing a series of study guides--focused on the themes of identity, grief, and belonging--and designing workshops for high school and college students that will launch in October. We're shaping these study guides to be companions to the film and tools for understanding the narrative of the film, personal reflection, and artistic exploration.
Continue scrolling to see some of this year's highlights and take a peek at things to come. As always, stay tuned and catch us at the next screening or event.
We’re thrilled to announce the official release of our Short Film: Princesa
As we continue to build out our digital archive of interviews, footage, and sketches that will live on our website, we have decided it is time to share Princesa widely. Some of you may have caught Princesa at one of our earlier screenings in 2024, and now you can re-watch it and share with anyone you believe should see it.
About Princesa:
In the process of developing Las Muertes, we hired non-actors to look at the corner of 16th St and Irving St NW, which are crucial to the film. The Kennesaw Building holds great meaning and history for the Latino community because the tenants organized back in the 80s and fought and won the right to buy the building, which now belongs to them. The contents of this poem truly happened in that apartment.
This short film offers a glimpse into the larger story being told in Las Muertes through a performance by Quique Aviles of his full poem Princesa.
